Markdown instructions
A SKILL.md file the model loads on demand, so it only costs tokens when a request actually matches.
Works with any LLM
AI skills are plain Markdown, not provider-specific code, so this works with GPT, Claude, Gemini, Grok, or a local model.
3 bundled files
Scripts, templates, and references the model can read while it works. Files are read-only and never executed.
Open source
Published by arjun988 on GitHub. Read the source before you install it.

Installation

Install the Vehicle Artist AI skill in TypingMind to use it with any LLM, or drop it into another agent that reads SKILL.md.

Install in TypingMind

TypingMind installs a skill straight from its GitHub folder — it reads SKILL.md, bundles the resource files, and stores the result locally.

Open the app and go to Plugins → Skills.
Choose "Install from GitHub".
Paste the skill folder URL below and confirm.
https://github.com/arjun988/blender-skills/tree/main/.claude/skills/vehicle-artist
Enable the skill in any chat where you want it available.

Plugins → Skills → Add skill → From GitHub URL, then paste the folder URL and press Continue.

Install in another agent

Any agent that reads the Agent Skills format can use this skill — copy the folder into that agent's skills directory.

Claude Code — .claude/skills

git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/arjun988/blender-skills.git /tmp/blender-skills
mkdir -p .claude/skills
cp -r /tmp/blender-skills/.claude/skills/vehicle-artist .claude/skills/vehicle-artist

Restart Claude Code after copying so it picks up the new skill.

Use it in TypingMind

Enable Vehicle Artist in any TypingMind chat and the model takes it from there. Its name and description sit in the system prompt, and the moment a request matches, the model loads the full instructions itself — you never invoke it by hand, and it costs no tokens until it is actually used.

The model loads Vehicle Artist on its own as soon as a request matches it.

Works with any AI model

AI skills are plain Markdown instructions rather than provider-specific code, so Vehicle Artist is not tied to the model it was written for. Install it once in TypingMind and use it with GPT-5, Claude, Gemini, Grok, DeepSeek, Mistral, Llama, or a local model you run yourself — all on your own API keys.

Loaded only when it is needed
The system prompt carries just the name and description. The instructions are fetched on the first matching request, so an idle skill costs nothing.
Switch models mid-chat
Because the skill is instructions rather than code, changing model does not break it — the next model reads the same SKILL.md.

Skill instructions

This is the SKILL.md content the model loads. Read it before installing — a skill is instructions your model will follow.

Vehicle Artist

Proportion-driven vehicles. Clear body language. Manufacturing panel flow. Engine-ready LODs.

When to Use

Cars, trucks, bikes, aircraft, boats, ships
Mechs and large mechanical walkers
Transit / industrial vehicles
When vehicle work should not live under generic hard-surface

Design Principles

Proportion blockout first — Wheelbase, cabin, mass distribution
Centerline symmetry — Mirror early; break only for damage/wear
Panel flow — Seams follow stamped/assembled construction
Functional readability — Lights, intakes, doors, wheels read clearly
Separate systems — Body, wheels, glass, interior, lights as objects

Workflow


Ortho refs → Chassis blockout → Body volumes → Wheel/suspension
  → Panel breaks → Booleans/cutters → Bevels → Glass/lights
  → Interior (LOD-aware) → UVs → Materials → LODs → Collision → Export

Blockout Checklist

Overall length / width / height locked
Wheel size and stance correct
Cabin / canopy silhouette readable
Ground clearance intentional
Symmetry axis established

Object Split (Game)

Object	Why
`SM_Vehicle_Body`	Main shell
`SM_Vehicle_Wheel_*`	Spin / steer
`SM_Vehicle_Glass`	Transparency / sorting
`SM_Vehicle_Light_*`	Emissive materials
`SM_Vehicle_Interior`	Cull on distant LODs

LOD Guidance

LOD	Focus
LOD0	Full panels, interior if visible
LOD1	Simplified panels, remove micro
LOD2	Body + wheels + glass only
LOD3	Impostor / ultra-low hull

Use lod-pipeline for generation and validation.

Collision

Simple convex hulls per major volume
Wheel capsules/cylinders separate if physics-driven
See collision-proxy

Constraints

MUST DO

Lock proportions before panel detail
Keep wheels as separate objects when animated
Plan LODs and collision with body

MUST NOT DO

Detail interior before exterior silhouette
Boolean chaos without cutter collection
Single merged mesh for all systems on game vehicles

Bundled files

The model reads these on demand while the skill is loaded. They are exposed as readable files and are never executed.

Frequently asked questions

What does the Vehicle Artist AI skill do?

Dedicated vehicle modeling for cars, trucks, aircraft, ships, boats, mechs, and transit assets with proportion, panel flow, and game LOD awareness in Blender via MCP.

Why use Vehicle Artist on TypingMind?

Because you install it once and use it with any model. Vehicle Artist is plain Markdown rather than provider-specific code, so the same skill runs on GPT-5, Claude, Gemini, Grok, or a local model — and you can switch model mid-chat without it breaking. TypingMind runs on your own API keys, so you pay providers directly instead of a per-seat subscription, and your skills and chats stay in your own storage.

How do I install Vehicle Artist in TypingMind?

Open Plugins → Skills → Install from GitHub in TypingMind and paste https://github.com/arjun988/blender-skills/tree/main/.claude/skills/vehicle-artist. TypingMind reads its SKILL.md and bundles its files and installs it as a skill you can enable per chat.

Which AI models can use Vehicle Artist?

Any model you connect in TypingMind. AI skills are plain Markdown instructions rather than provider-specific code, so GPT, Claude, Gemini, Grok, and local models can all load this skill when a request matches it.

How many AI models can I use with Vehicle Artist?

As many as you like. As long as a model supports skills, you can use Vehicle Artist with it — GPT, Claude, Gemini, Grok, DeepSeek, Mistral, Llama and more — all on TypingMind with your own API keys.

Is the Vehicle Artist AI skill free?

Yes. It is published on GitHub by arjun988 under the MIT license. You only pay your own AI provider for the tokens you use.

What are AI skills?

An AI skill is a reusable instruction bundle that teaches an AI model how to do one specific task. It follows the open Agent Skills format: a SKILL.md file with a name and description, plus any scripts, templates or reference files the model may need. The model reads the instructions only when your request matches the skill, so an installed skill costs nothing until it is used.

How are AI skills different from plugins or MCP servers?

A plugin or MCP server gives a model new tools to call — code that runs somewhere and returns a result. An AI skill gives the model knowledge and process instead: how to approach a task, which steps to follow, what good output looks like. Skills are plain Markdown, so they need no server, no API key and no runtime, and they work with any model.
