Setup/context for the blender-pipeline playbook. How-to steps for agents: Blender Render Pipeline skill.

When to use

Automate batch renders without blocking the agent on binary assets.

Flow

Queue receives job with idempotent jobId
Worker runs blender --background scene.blend --python render.py -- --output dir
Validate exit code; retry transient failures
Publish asset metadata (not full EXR/HDR) to downstream consumers

Skill: blender-pipeline
Agent patterns: worker (retries, dead-letter, logging without secrets)
Instruction: blender-python

## Overview

Setup/context for the `blender-pipeline` playbook. **How-to steps** for agents: [Blender Render Pipeline skill](/skills/blender-pipeline).

## When to use

Automate batch renders without blocking the agent on binary assets.

## Flow

1. Queue receives job with idempotent `jobId`
2. Worker runs `blender --background scene.blend --python render.py -- --output dir`
3. Validate exit code; retry transient failures
4. Publish asset metadata (not full EXR/HDR) to downstream consumers
