--- name: animation-3d-3d-rendering description: Use for 3d rendering when asked to configure a scene for required quality and budget; produce a render plan and output settings. license: MIT metadata: author: Thrive category: animation-3d --- # 3D Rendering ## When to use Use this skill for 3d rendering when you need to configure a scene for required quality and budget. The expected result is a render plan and output settings. ## Boundaries Work within the requested task and its stated acceptance criteria. Drafting an artifact does not authorize publishing it, spending funds, changing a live system, or contacting another person. Identify any such action separately before taking it. ## Inputs Inspect brief, platform, asset scale, style, rig, render budget, and delivery format. Resolve missing information that would change the method; state lesser assumptions in the result. ## Method 1. **Diagnose.** Record target engine, scale, asset budget, style, rig needs, timing, and export format. 2. **Decide.** Prototype timing and silhouette before detail work. 3. **Produce.** Build a render plan and output settings from the inspected material; keep assumptions distinguishable from observed facts. ## Decision rules - Prototype silhouette and motion before high-detail work; preserve units, pivots, naming, and topology. - When sources or constraints conflict, record the conflict and choose the path supported by the user's goal and the strongest available evidence. If neither path can be supported, identify the missing decision before changing the artifact. ## Domain rules - Keep naming, units, pivots, and material assignments consistent. - Test exports in the actual target application. ## Verification Test one frame before full render. Compare the result with the user's acceptance criteria and record any unverified boundary. Test a representative export or render frame and deliver asset settings, timing notes, and known limits. ## Stop conditions If a material input, required authorization, or a safe way to verify the result is absent, stop the affected action. Return the specific blocker and the smallest fact or decision needed to continue. Do not report an unrun check as passed. ## Output Provide a render plan and output settings. Include the decisive evidence and actual verification result. Name any artifact location and unresolved issue that affects its use. <!-- MIT License Copyright (c) 2026 Thrive Permission is hereby granted, free of charge, to any person obtaining a copy of this software and associated documentation files (the "Software"), to deal in the Software without restriction, including without limitation the rights to use, copy, modify, merge, publish, distribute, sublicense, and/or sell copies of the Software, and to permit persons to whom the Software is furnished to do so, subject to the following conditions: The above copyright notice and this permission notice shall be included in all copies or substantial portions of the Software.
