Same command for any agent — swap --agent for codex, cursor, copilot.
Weekly change comes from our own snapshots, not the repository page — it measures attention, not adoption.
# Isometric Style Readable dioramas. True iso framing. Tile-aware assets. ## When to Use - Strategy / sim / city-builder assets - Isometric diorama renders - Orthographic hero presentations ## Camera Setup ``` Camera type: Orthographic Rotation: typically 54.736° / 30° patterns (true iso) OR project-specific dimetric Scale: frame subject with padding for UI CAM_Iso_[Shot] ``` Match project’s exact iso angles — do not invent per asset. ## Asset Rules 1. **Readable from iso angle first** — Not perspective hero camera 2. **Tile footprint** — Document cell size (e.g. 1×1, 2×2) 3. **Height clarity** — Vertical read without confusion 4. **Edge contrast** — Separate from ground plane 5. **LOD for dense maps** — Far tiles cheaper ## Modeling - Avoid detail only visible from ground FPS view - Strong top/side planes - Anchor pivot to tile corner or center per kit standard ## Presentation - Soft key + cool fill common for dioramas - Slight AO / ground shadow for lift - Optional `compositing` grade for portfolio ## Constraints ### MUST DO - Lock camera angle for the set - Document tile size and pivot rule - Check readability at game ortho scale ### MUST NOT DO - Detail undersides invisible in

What does the isometric-style skill do?
Isometric and strategy-game art direction for Blender including diorama framing, true-iso camera setup, readable silhouettes, and tile asset rules.
How do I install it?
Run `npx skills add arjun988/blender-skills --skill isometric-style --agent claude-code` — it drops the skill into your project so the agent can pick it up. Swap the --agent value for codex, cursor or copilot if you use one of those.
Where does this skill come from?
From arjun988/blender-skills, a repository with 71 stars. We read it straight from the repository tree rather than a submitted listing, so what you see here is what is actually published.
Is a popular skill a good skill?
Not necessarily. Stars measure attention, not adoption — a repository can trend for a week and be abandoned. That is why we show the weekly change from our own snapshots next to the total, instead of a single flattering number.
