Install Asset Optimization
Pick your agent. Every command is ready to paste.
npx skills add arjun988/blender-skills --skill asset-optimizationThe open skills CLI detects your agents (Claude Code, Cursor, Codex and 70+ more) and installs to the right folder. Add -g to install globally.
01
Install it
Run the command above, or upload the folder in Claude.
02
Ask naturally
Describe the task. Your agent loads asset-optimization when the request matches its description.
03
Name it if needed
If it does not trigger, say “use the asset-optimization skill”. In Codex, type $asset-optimization.
Asset Optimization
Enforce budgets. Clean geometry. Game-ready validation gate before export.
When to Use
- Before every export
- After modeling complete
- LOD generation
- Scene-wide performance audit
- Pre-delivery validation
Workflow
Audit → Identify Issues → Fix → Re-Audit → LOD Generation → Validation Report
Audit Checklist
Run via MCP scene queries where possible:
Geometry
- Triangle count vs budget (
../references/polycount-budgets.md) - Duplicate vertices merged
- Loose geometry removed
- Non-manifold fixed
- Interior faces deleted
- Applied transforms (scale 1,1,1)
UVs
- Pack efficiency > 75%
- Texel density consistent
- No unintended overlaps
Materials
- Count within budget
- No unused slots
- Names follow
MAT_convention
Organization
- All objects named
SM_prefix - Collections organized per convention
- Collision meshes in
COL_Collision
Optimization Techniques
| Issue | Fix |
|---|---|
| Over budget | Remove unseen geo, decimate, bake detail |
| High triangle count on flat surfaces | Reduce subdiv/bevel segments |
| Many draw calls | Merge materials; atlas textures |
| Repeated geometry | Convert to instances |
| Heavy modifiers | Apply and merge strategically |
LOD Generation
LOD0: Full detail (hero)
LOD1: 50% tris — remove micro-bevels, small greebles
LOD2: 25% tris — decimate modifier; preserve silhouette
LOD3: 10% tris — impostor/card or simple proxy
Naming: SM_Asset_LOD0, SM_Asset_LOD1, etc.
Use Decimate modifier:
- Planar mode for hard surface
- Collapse mode for organic
- Always verify silhouette after decimate
Modifier Cleanup
Before export:
- Apply stack OR export with modifiers per engine support
- Remove unused modifiers
- Collapse mirror/array if instances not needed
- Document which modifiers remain live
Scene Audit Report Template
## Optimization Report: [Asset/Scene]
**Total Triangles:** [count] (budget: [target])
**Draw Calls (materials):** [count]
**Objects:** [count]
**Issues Fixed:** [list]
### Per-Object Breakdown
| Object | Tris | Materials | Status |
|--------|------|-----------|--------|
| SM_... | ... | ... | PASS/FAIL |
MCP Integration
- Query polycount per object via MCP
- Query material count via MCP
- Run cleanup operations via MCP
- Generate LOD duplicates via MCP
- Validate naming conventions via MCP scene tree
Constraints
MUST DO
- Run full validation before export
- Document polycount in production brief
- Create LODs for hero assets in games
- Fix all non-manifold before export
- Output validation report
MUST NOT DO
- Export without budget check
- Decimate deforming meshes without testing
- Remove collision proxies
- Skip naming convention validation
- Optimize hero face/hands below animation needs

Tips for Asset Optimization
- • Start a fresh session after installing so your agent picks up the new skill.
- • It bundles reference files. The agent reads them only when needed, so they cost no context until then.
- • It is part of a pack with 30 skills. Install only the ones you need with --skill to keep triggers precise.
- • If two skills overlap, mention the one you want by name.
Questions about Asset Optimization
What does the Asset Optimization skill do?
Validates and optimizes Blender assets for polycount, topology, UV efficiency, material count, naming, collections, and game-ready performance. Use before export on all production assets via MCP.
How do I install Asset Optimization?
Run "npx skills add arjun988/blender-skills --skill asset-optimization" in your project. The skills CLI installs it for Claude Code, Cursor, Codex and 70+ other agents. In Claude on the web, upload the skill folder as a ZIP under Customize > Skills.
Does Asset Optimization work in Cursor and Codex?
Yes. Asset Optimization uses the open SKILL.md format, so it works in Claude Code, Claude, Cursor, OpenAI Codex, Gemini CLI, GitHub Copilot and other agents that support agent skills.
Is Asset Optimization free?
Asset Optimization is open source on GitHub under the MIT license. It is free to install; check the license before commercial use.
Who made Asset Optimization?
Asset Optimization is published by arjun988 in the arjun988/blender-skills repository, together with 29 other skills.
