What it does

Texture Workflow is an agent skill from arjun988/blender-skills. Production texture workflow for atlases, baking AO/curvature/normal/roughness maps, decals, and texture memory optimization. Use for game-ready texture pipelines in Blender via MCP.

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/bake-troubleshooting.md` and `references/orm-packing.md`).

It sits in Game Development, covering MCP servers. 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-ready texture pipelines in Blender via MCP
  • Tasks that involve MCP servers

Example prompts

  • “/texture-workflow”

Workflow steps

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

  1. Setup bake objects via MCP
  2. Configure bake settings via MCP if supported
  3. Export baked images via MCP
  4. Assign baked textures to materials via MCP
  5. Query texture count and resolution

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

Texture Workflow loads about 1k tokens when it runs, and up to ~1.5k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 50 tokens; SKILL.md has 359 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~50
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
~1.5k

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.

Texture Workflow

Bake high-poly detail to efficient texture sets. Optimize memory. Engine-ready outputs.

When to Use

  • Baking sculpt detail to normal maps
  • Creating texture atlases for modular kits
  • PBR texture set generation
  • Decal placement and blending
  • Texture memory optimization

Workflow

High/Low Poly Setup → Cage Setup → Bake Maps → Composite
    → Atlas Pack → Engine Format Export → Validation

Standard PBR Texture Set

MapFormatNotes
Base ColorsRGB PNGNo embedded AO
NormalLinear PNGOpenGL convention unless engine specifies
RoughnessLinear PNGSingle channel
MetallicLinear PNGSingle channel
AOLinear PNGMultiply in shader, not base color
HeightLinear PNGOptional parallax
EmissionsRGB PNGMask-based
ORM PackedLinear PNGR=AO, G=Roughness, B=Metallic (Unreal)

Naming: T_[Asset]_[Map] per ../references/naming-conventions.md

Bake Setup

1. Low-poly mesh with UVs (active)
2. High-poly mesh (sculpt or detail) — selected
3. Cage extrusion: 0.01–0.05m (adjust per asset scale)
4. Ray distance: match cage
5. Bake margin: 16px minimum
6. Anti-aliasing: enabled

Texture Atlas Strategy

Modular kits share one atlas:

1. All modules UV'd to shared 0–1 or UDIM space
2. Bake each module to atlas regions
3. Trim sheet areas for repeating detail
4. Single material references atlas
5. Document region map for artists

Decals

  • Decal mesh projected on surface
  • Separate UV channel or atlas region
  • Blend via alpha mask
  • Limit decal overdraw in engine

Memory Optimization

TechniqueSavings
ORM packing3 textures → 1
Shared atlasN materials → 1 texture
Lower res on hidden surfaces50%+ memory
BC compression in engine4:1 or 6:1
Trim sheetsReuse detail across assets

Resolution Guidelines

See ../references/polycount-budgets.md texture section.

MCP Integration

  1. Setup bake objects via MCP
  2. Configure bake settings via MCP if supported
  3. Export baked images via MCP
  4. Assign baked textures to materials via MCP
  5. Query texture count and resolution

Validation Checklist

  • Normal map correct orientation (test in engine)
  • No UV seams visible in bake
  • AO not baked into base color
  • Consistent texel density in final textures
  • Texture resolution within budget
  • Files named per convention
  • sRGB vs Linear correctly assigned

Constraints

MUST DO
  • Bake high-poly detail before discarding sculpt
  • Use cage for clean normal bakes
  • Pack ORM for engine efficiency
  • Test normal map orientation in target engine
  • Document atlas regions for modular kits
MUST NOT DO
  • Bake without cage on complex shapes
  • Embed AO in base color (PBR standard)
  • Exceed texture budget without LOD justification
  • Use inconsistent normal map conventions
  • Skip margin in bake settings
