Pixel actors. 3D stage. Tilted theatrical camera. Creamy DoF.
Tenets
- Characters: pixel/billboard or texel-locked
- Environments: soft 3D with painted textures
- Strong DoF / god rays
- Ortho-leaning perspective
- Warm theatrical keys
Scripts
Tested on Blender 5.2 LTS via the official Blender MCP. Run with execute_blender_code (or headless,
see the blender-mcp-workflow skill); read the script header for every argument.
When the user will paste code into Blender themselves, give them the short runpy call with the absolute
path of this installed script and their ARGS. Don't inline or rewrite the script: the tested file is the point.

Pixel sprite plane: packed image with Closest interpolation and alpha, feet on the ground, turned to face the camera. Then add DoF with camera-cinematography camera_rig.py. |
