Create tasteful circular/orbital HUD and aura animations around a Blender subject using source-derived arcs, dots, dashes, opacity, parallax, and restrained motion. Use when decorative circles, halos, orbit markers, scanner rings, or HUD effects must correlate with a logo/mascot rather than looking like random oversized rings.

Orbital HUD Motion

Decorative circles are design elements, not filler. They must be derived from the reference composition and support the subject.

Design rules

Keep the avatar/subject dominant; rings should frame, not trap or overpower it.
Derive radii, arc breaks, marker positions, and dash density from the reference image when possible.
Separate layers:
- far/background aura: faint, slow, soft;
- mid orbit: thin arcs/dashes;
- markers/dots: sparse and synchronized;
- foreground accents: rare and short-lived.
Prefer opacity/emission/dash phase over large rotation/scale changes.
Never animate all rings in the same direction/speed; use subtle counter-motion/parallax.
Do not include context rings in the base avatar mesh/export unless explicitly requested.

Animation recipe

Create an HUD_CONTEXT collection separate from AVATAR_BASE.
Build arcs/dots from a manifest of normalized radii and angles.
Keyframe:
- dash offset or arc reveal;
- emission strength pulse;
- subtle rotation (1–12 degrees per loop, not full spin unless requested);
- marker opacity/scale blips at beats.
Render a contact sheet with subject-only and with-HUD views.
Reject if rings obscure the face/silhouette or dominate the frame.

Hard rules

No random full circles when the reference has broken arcs/dashed guides.
No oversized markers unless the source has them.
No HUD animation until static avatar baseline is locked.
For GLB, use object transforms/material keyframes or document runtime requirements.

Scripts

scripts/orbit_layout_manifest.py creates a source-independent orbit manifest from simple radii/angle parameters.

animation-quality-gate

RobLe3/cc-blender-skill

Validate Blender animation attempts before accepting them by rendering contact sheets, checking silhouette stability, flicker, framing, subject dominance, layer separation, export compatibility, and motion-design coherence. Use after animation renders or when the user says motion/morph/outside elements look bad.

atlas-uv-fitting

RobLe3/cc-blender-skill

Detect texture-atlas regions and map each source part to its own UV rectangle or projected UV surface. Use when a texture pack must fit a Blender model 1:1, when textures look off/stretched, when alpha decals or lightmaps are provided, or before exporting a textured GLB for a brand mascot/logo.

blender-skill-harmonizer

RobLe3/cc-blender-skill

Harmonize multiple Blender skills into a coherent pipeline with clear activation precedence, handoff artifacts, dependency gates, and conflict-resolution rules. Use when a Blender task spans several skills, when reference-locked work conflicts with generic production workflow, after adding/updating skills, or when repeated failures indicate skill interference or missing inter/intra-play.

blender-uv-texturing

RobLe3/cc-blender-skill

UV unwrap, atlas-map, project textures, use alpha decals, bake maps/lightmaps, and prepare texture-driven Blender assets for glTF/GLB export. Use whenever the user provides texture packs, texture atlases, decals, UV layouts, lightmaps, wants a texture to fit a mesh 1:1, or reports stretched/off textures. Pairs with reference-to-3d for template-accurate reconstruction and blender-materials for PBR values.

closed-surface-uv-coverage

RobLe3/cc-blender-skill

Ensure textures and decals cover all visible surfaces of a closed or extruded Blender asset, especially front/back caps and sidewalls, instead of relying on partial projected planes, curves, or linework overlays. Use when back textures do not fill the model, side textures are missing, spin/turntable views expose plain sidewalls, or a model needs separate UV treatment for caps and side surfaces.

contour-to-mesh

RobLe3/cc-blender-skill

Build Blender mesh surfaces directly from extracted 2D contours/masks instead of approximate primitives. Use for 1:1 mascot/logo reconstruction, exact leaf/petal silhouettes, filled wireframe shapes, shallow bas-relief forms, or when the model outline must match a front template before adding depth.
