What it does
Lod Pipeline is an agent skill from arjun988/blender-skills. Dedicated LOD generation, naming, screen-size targets, and validation for game meshes in Blender via MCP.
Its SKILL.md is about 580 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 3 other files, including reference files (for example `references/lod-budgets.md` and `references/lod-validation.md`).
It sits in Game Development. It works with Model Context Protocol and Blender. The repository describes itself as: 94 specialist Blender skills for Cursor, Claude Code, Kiro & Codex - MCP-powered production pipeline from blockout to engine export. The licence is MIT.
When your agent uses it
- Game Development work in your project
Example prompts
- “/lod-pipeline”
Workflow steps
4 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.
- Decimate (planar/collapse) — fast props
- Manual retopo low — hero characters/vehicles
- Delete interiors / small parts — vehicles, buildings
- Bake normals from LOD0 → low — when detail must move to texture
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 8f778d2. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.
Tool permissions
Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.
From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.
Runs code
No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md.
From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.
Network
No URLs in SKILL.md.
From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.
Credentials
Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.
From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.
Context cost
Lod Pipeline loads about 582 tokens when it runs, and up to ~699 if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 30 tokens; SKILL.md has 193 words of instructions outside code blocks.
Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.
Safety
Auto-check passed
The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.
Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

LOD Pipeline
Intentional LOD chains. Preserve silhouette. Validate reductions.
When to Use
- Game assets needing LOD0–N
- Batch LOD for modular kits
- Before Unity/Unreal/Godot export
Workflow
Approve LOD0 → Generate LOD1..N → Fix silhouette breaks
→ Naming → Screen-size table → Export verifyTypical Budgets (guide)
| LOD | Tris vs LOD0 | Keep |
|---|---|---|
| LOD0 | 100% | Full detail |
| LOD1 | 40–60% | Major forms |
| LOD2 | 15–30% | Silhouette |
| LOD3 | 5–10% | Blob / impostor candidate |
Tune per asset importance and camera.
Generation Methods
- Decimate (planar/collapse) — fast props
- Manual retopo low — hero characters/vehicles
- Delete interiors / small parts — vehicles, buildings
- Bake normals from LOD0 → low — when detail must move to texture
Naming
SM_Asset_LOD0
SM_Asset_LOD1
SM_Asset_LOD2Collection: COL_LODs_[Asset]
Validation Checklist
- Silhouette matches at intended distance
- No major holes / inverted normals
- UVs still valid (or rebaked)
- Materials slots consistent across LODs
- Vertex colors/UVs needed by shader preserved
- LOD transitions planned (screen size %)
Screen Size Starters
| LOD | Screen size (UE-like guide) |
|---|---|
| LOD0 | 1.0 – 0.5 |
| LOD1 | 0.5 – 0.25 |
| LOD2 | 0.25 – 0.1 |
| LOD3 | 0.1 – 0.0 |
Constraints
MUST DO
- Protect silhouette before poly reduction
- Keep LOD0 as source of truth
- Document budgets in production brief
MUST NOT DO
- Blind decimate until unrecognizable
- Different material slot counts across LODs without reason

| Topic | Reference | Load When |
