How do you navigate Blender's 3D viewport and editors?
Reference for the Blender interface, navigation, object modes, and 3D production pipeline workflows.
Who is it for?
Developers and technical artists using agent assistance for Blender modeling, shader nodes, UV mapping, and animation pipeline tasks.
Skip if: Pure code-only backend projects with no 3D asset, animation, or Blender pipeline requirements.
When should I use this skill?
User asks about Blender interface, viewport navigation, Outliner hierarchy, Shader Editor nodes, UV Editor mapping, or animation Timeline workflows

Blender to Unity/Unreal Export Pipelines
Export Settings
- FBX Export: File > Export > FBX
- Scale: Set to 1.00 for Unity, 0.01 for Unreal
- Forward Axis: Set to -Z forward for Unity, -X forward for Unreal
- Up Axis: Set to Y up for both engines
- Apply Transforms: Apply scale, rotation, location before export
- Include Selected: Export only selected objects
Unity Export
- Scale: 1.00 (Unity uses meters)
- Forward: -Z forward
- Up: Y up
- Apply Transforms: Ctrl+A > Apply > Scale, Rotation, Location
- Export Selected: Check to export only selected objects
Unreal Export
- Scale: 0.01 (Unreal uses centimeters)
- Forward: -X forward
- Up: Z up
- Apply Transforms: Ctrl+A > Apply > Scale, Rotation, Location
- Export Selected: Check to export only selected objects
Common Export Issues
- Scale Mismatch: Ensure correct scale factor for target engine
- Rotation Issues: Check forward and up axis settings
- Material Export: Materials may need to be recreated in target engine
- Animation Export: Ensure animations are baked and exported
- Texture Paths: Use relative paths for textures

Which Blender editors does the blender skill cover?
The blender skill covers seven editors: 3D Viewport, Outliner, Properties Panel, Timeline, Graph Editor, UV Editor, and Shader Editor, including navigation shortcuts and workflow roles for each.
What navigation shortcuts does blender document?
The blender skill documents middle-mouse orbit, Shift plus middle-mouse pan, scroll-wheel zoom, and numpad view presets such as 1 for front view within the 3D Viewport.
When should agents invoke the blender skill?
Invoke the blender skill when users ask about Blender interface layout, viewport navigation, shader node materials, UV mapping, Outliner scene hierarchy, or Timeline and Graph Editor animation workflows.
