Photorealistic AAA art direction for Blender including photogrammetry cleanup, real-world scale, high-poly workflows, PBR accuracy, and scan optimization.

  • Works in 5 steps: Real-world scale — 1 Blender unit = 1… → PBR accuracy — Physically plausible… → High-poly to low-poly — Sculpt/scan →… → …
  • Cinematic and AAA game realism
  • SKILL.md covers When to Use, Core Standards, Scale Verification and High-Poly Workflow, plus 9 more sections
  • Instructions only: no scripts, shell commands, URLs or credentials in SKILL.md

What it does

Realistic Style is an agent skill from arjun988/blender-skills. Photorealistic AAA art direction for Blender including photogrammetry cleanup, real-world scale, high-poly workflows, PBR accuracy, and scan optimization. Use for cinematic and AAA game realism.

Its SKILL.md is about 1k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 3 other files, including reference files (for example `references/pbr-values.md` and `references/scan-cleanup.md`).

It sits in Game Development. It works with 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

  • Cinematic and AAA game realism

Example prompts

  • “/realistic-style”

Workflow steps

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

  1. Real-world scale — 1 Blender unit = 1 meter; verify all dimensions
  2. PBR accuracy — Physically plausible material values
  3. High-poly to low-poly — Sculpt/scan → bake → game mesh
  4. Micro-detail via textures — Not geometry at distance
  5. Reference-driven — Match real-world photography

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

Realistic Style loads about 1k tokens when it runs, and up to ~1.8k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 53 tokens; SKILL.md has 389 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~53
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1k
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~1.8k

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.

Realistic Style Specialist

Physically accurate materials. Real-world scale. High-poly to baked low-poly pipeline. AAA standards.

When to Use

  • AAA game assets requiring realism
  • Cinematic renders
  • Photogrammetry scan cleanup
  • Product visualization
  • Architectural visualization

Core Standards

  1. Real-world scale — 1 Blender unit = 1 meter; verify all dimensions
  2. PBR accuracy — Physically plausible material values
  3. High-poly to low-poly — Sculpt/scan → bake → game mesh
  4. Micro-detail via textures — Not geometry at distance
  5. Reference-driven — Match real-world photography

Scale Verification

ReferenceDimension
Door height2.03–2.13m
Human eye height1.6–1.7m
Hand width0.08–0.1m
Brick0.065 × 0.215m
Car height1.4–1.6m

Always place scale reference in scene.

High-Poly Workflow

Scan/Sculpt High-Poly → Cleanup → UV Low-Poly → Bake Maps
    → PBR Texturing → Engine Export

Polycount on high-poly: unlimited for bake source; never exported to game.

Photogrammetry Cleanup

IssueFix
Scan holesFill with sculpt/mesh patch
Floating geometryDelete; rebuild clean
Decimation artifactsRemesh problematic areas
Color variationRebake albedo; neutralize lighting
Wrong scaleMeasure known feature; rescale

PBR Accuracy

Fresh concrete0.5 gray0.850
Polished chrome0.80.051
Human skinphotographic0.4–0.60
Clean glass0.900 (transmission)
Old iron0.3 dark0.71

Use photographic reference for albedo; never guess saturated colors.

Micro-Detail Strategy

AAA Asset Checklist

  • Real-world scale verified
  • High-poly source archived
  • Clean low-poly with efficient UVs
  • 2K–4K textures on hero (per budget)
  • ORM packed for engine
  • LODs generated
  • Turntable render approved
  • Engine import verified

MCP Integration

  1. Import/cleanup scan meshes via MCP
  2. Setup bake high/low pairs via MCP
  3. Assign PBR materials with accurate values via MCP
  4. Query dimensions for scale validation via MCP
  5. Export with full texture set via export-pipeline

Constraints

MUST DO
  • Reference real-world photography
  • Verify scale with known dimensions
  • Bake micro-detail to normal maps
  • Use physically plausible PBR values
  • Archive high-poly source
MUST NOT DO
  • Export high-poly to game engine
  • Saturated albedo without reference
  • Skip LOD generation for game assets
  • Ignore photogrammetry artifacts
  • Mix stylized proportions
