description	Use when a Blender task involves cameras, lights, rendering, render engine, EEVEE, Cycles. Part of the Blender reference router; covers cameras, lights, the render engines, and rendering behavior.

Blender Cameras, Lights, and Rendering Reference

Faithful, original-prose reference for cameras, lights, the render engines, and rendering behavior. Identifiers (operator names, bpy paths, enum values, shortcuts, numbers) are preserved verbatim. One subject per file across 39 reference files.

When to use this

Use this sub-skill when the task involves cameras, lights, rendering, render engine, EEVEE, Cycles. It applies even when "Blender" is not named but a .blend file, bpy, or a relevant operator/shortcut is in play.

Workflow

1. Open references/INDEX.md (or references/topics.json) and pick the one file that matches — the INDEX "Covers" column lists the subjects in each file.
2. Read only that file; open another only if the task spans subjects. Grep across files when a subject may be split: rg -n "PATTERN" references/*.md.
3. Treat every operator name, bpy path, enum value, shortcut, and number as an exact reference fact — never invent or paraphrase identifiers.

Gotchas

Recurring failure modes and what to do instead live in the sibling GOTCHA.md.

References

All depth lives in references/ — start at references/INDEX.md, with metadata in references/topics.json. One subject per file.
