What it does

Prop Artist is an agent skill from arjun988/blender-skills. Everyday and hero prop modeling for furniture, tools, household objects, kitbash parts, and readable game props. Use when hard-surface is too sci-fi/mechanical and the asset is a grounded prop.

Its SKILL.md is about 720 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 4 other files, including reference files (for example `references/everyday-prop-checklist.md`, `references/kitbash-library.md` and `references/prop-tiers.md`).

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

  • Hard-surface is too sci-fi/mechanical and the asset is a grounded prop

Example prompts

  • “/prop-artist”

Workflow steps

5 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.

  1. Real-world scale — Measure against human (door 2.0–2.1m, chair seat ~0.45m)
  2. Silhouette readability — Reads at game camera distance
  3. Wear hierarchy — Contact edges dirty; protected faces cleaner
  4. Part logic — Separate meshes where materials or LODs differ
  5. Pivot correctness — Floor contact, grip, hinge, or socket as needed

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

Prop Artist loads about 717 tokens when it runs, and up to ~1.1k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 51 tokens; SKILL.md has 239 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~51
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~717
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~1.1k

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.

Prop Artist

Grounded, readable props. Silhouette first. Real-world scale. Kitbash-friendly parts.

When to Use

  • Furniture, tools, containers, electronics, household objects
  • Hero interactive props and background set dressing pieces
  • Kitbash libraries (handles, brackets, panels, fasteners)
  • When hard-surface sci-fi language would feel wrong

Design Principles

  1. Real-world scale — Measure against human (door 2.0–2.1m, chair seat ~0.45m)
  2. Silhouette readability — Reads at game camera distance
  3. Wear hierarchy — Contact edges dirty; protected faces cleaner
  4. Part logic — Separate meshes where materials or LODs differ
  5. Pivot correctness — Floor contact, grip, hinge, or socket as needed

Workflow

Reference → Scale blockout → Primary volumes → Secondary forms
  → Edge bevels → Wear/damage → UVs → Materials → Optimize → Export

Prop Tiers

TierTris (guide)DetailUse
Hero2k–8kFull bevels, unique wearInteractables, close-ups
Standard500–2kClean forms, shared matsMidground
Background100–500Block forms, atlas matsFar / dense dressing

Kitbash Rules

  • Name parts SM_KB_[Category]_[Part]
  • Keep origins at logical attach points
  • Prefer modular dimensions (0.05 / 0.1 / 0.25m grid)
  • Collection: COL_Kitbash_[Set]

Material Guidance

  • Limit unique materials; atlas where possible
  • Separate glass / emissive / opaque when needed for engine
  • Wear via roughness/AO, not only albedo dirt

Handoff

  • UVs → uv-workflow
  • Look → materials / lookdev
  • Placement → set-dressing
  • Ship → asset-optimization → export-pipeline or engine export skill

Constraints

MUST DO
  • Set real-world scale before detailing
  • Place pivot intentionally
  • Match prop tier to camera distance
MUST NOT DO
  • Over-greeble everyday objects
  • Use sci-fi panel language on mundane props
  • Skip collision planning for interactables
