Archviz
A Blender architectural-visualization playbook covering real-world scale, camera setup, PBR materials, lighting and still/animation delivery via MCP.

What it does
- Enforces a fixed archviz pipeline: CAD/scale check → greybox → final modeling → materials → cameras → lighting (HDRI + practicals) → render → comp.
- Applies modeling rules: millimeter-to-meter accuracy, straight verticals, controlled bevels, separate glass/frame/furniture collections.
- Gives camera guidance: 24–35mm for interiors, shift-corrected verticals for exteriors.
- Sets lighting direction: HDRI window light, practical lamps as mesh lights, soft GI instead of a harsh single key.
- Defines delivery standards: high-res stills, optional depth/mist passes, layered EXR kept for revisions.
- Lists explicit MUST DO (verify scale, lock cameras, plausible IOR) and MUST NOT rules (lowpoly shortcuts, over-saturated materials).
Who it's for
- 3D artists producing real-estate or architecture presentation renders.
- Users driving Blender from Claude through an MCP connection.
- Studios repeating material/lighting lookdev passes on interior spaces.
Example uses
- "Check this living-room scene for real-world scale and block out three 24mm camera angles."
- "Light this house exterior with an HDRI and set up a shift-corrected camera."
- "Configure a high-res delivery still with depth pass and keep a layered EXR for comp."

Try it now, no install
Paste this into Claude to use the skill without installing anything.
Read the instructions in this file and follow them to help me: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/arjun988/blender-skills/HEAD/.claude/skills/archviz/SKILL.md What I want: (describe your task here)
If Claude can't open the link, open it yourself and paste the contents instead.
↓ If it works for you, download the ZIP below and install it. Then it runs on its own — no pasting each time.
Install in the Claude app (no terminal)
- Download the ZIP with the button below.
- In Claude, open Settings → Capabilities and turn on 'Code execution and file creation'. (one time)
- Go to Customize → Skills → + → 'Upload a skill' and upload the ZIP.
Install in Claude Code
Let Claude do it — paste this into Claude Code
Install the skill I found on Claude Skill Mart. Copy the .claude/skills/archviz folder from the GitHub repo arjun988/blender-skills into my ~/.claude/skills/archviz/. When it's done, tell me in one line what this skill can do.
Install with a command instead
git clone https://github.com/arjun988/blender-skills.git && mkdir -p ~/.claude/skills && cp -r blender-skills/.claude/skills/archviz ~/.claude/skills/⚠ This is a third-party skill. Check the source repository before installing.
- Open a terminal.
- Clone the repository:
git clone https://github.com/arjun988/blender-skills.git - Create the skills folder:
mkdir -p ~/.claude/skills - Copy the skill:
cp -r blender-skills/.claude/skills/archviz ~/.claude/skills/ - Confirm the
references/subfolder came along with it. - Set up a Blender MCP server so Claude can drive Blender — the skill assumes this connection exists.
- Restart Claude Code and ask something like "use archviz to set up an interior render" to trigger the skill.
