# Blender Web Pipeline

## Overview

Blender Web Pipeline skill provides workflows for exporting 3D models and animations from Blender to web-optimized formats (primarily glTF 2.0). It covers Python scripting for batch processing, optimization techniques for web performance, and integration with web 3D libraries like Three.js and Babylon.js.

**When to use this skill:**
- Exporting Blender models for web applications
- Batch processing multiple 3D assets
- Optimizing file sizes for web delivery
- Automating repetitive Blender tasks
- Creating production pipelines for 3D web content
- Converting legacy formats to glTF

**Key capabilities:**
- glTF 2.0 export with optimization
- Python (bpy) automation scripts
- Texture baking and compression
- LOD (Level of Detail) generation
- Batch processing workflows
- Material and lighting optimization for web
