How do I install the Se Assets skill?

Run npx skillmds@latest add godimas101/se-assets in your terminal (requires Node.js), paste this page's agent-chat prompt into Claude, Cursor, or any MCP-connected agent, or download the SKILL.md file and copy it into your agent's skills directory.

Is Se Assets safe to use?

This skill has not completed SkillMD's automated safety review yet. Capability flags: makes network calls. SkillMD never runs a skill's scripts for you; review the SKILL.md before installing.

Which AI agents work with Se Assets?

This skill is tagged as working with Claude Code, Claude.ai, OpenAI Codex. SKILL.md is an open format, so most agents that read a skills directory can load it too.

Is Se Assets free to use?

Yes. Installing skills from SkillMD is free, and the skill stays under its author's original license.

Se Assets

Use for Space Engineers asset creation: 3D models (Blender + SEUT addon, FBX → MwmBuilder → .mwm), texture channel packing (DX11 layout: _cm/_ng/_add/_alphamask), Havok collision meshes, material Technique values (MESH, DECAL, GLASS, HOLO, SHIELD…), LCD textures (PNG → texconv → .dds), and audio (WAV → xWMAEncode.exe → .xwm). Concrete triggers: making a custom block model, packing textures for a mod, setting up collisions, converting audio for the game. SKIP for: SBC-only content that reuses vanilla art (use se-sbc), C# code or scripts (use se-csharp / se-tss / se-pb-scripts), framework integrations without art work (use se-frameworks).

SE Assets — model, texture, and audio pipeline

Space Engineers uses custom asset formats. Don't follow tutorials pre-2019 for textures — the DX11 channel layout changed.

Read first

references/pipeline.md — full pipeline: Blender + SEUT modeling, texture packing details, Havok collisions, material properties, MWM export, LCD texture requirements, audio encoding.

Quick reference

Models: FBX → MwmBuilder → .mwm. Tool at [ModSDK]\Tools\VRageEditor\. Build stage models use _BS1/_BS2/_BS3 suffixes.

Textures — DX11 channel packing:

Suffix	Channels	Contents
`_cm.dds`	RGB=Color, A=Metalness	Diffuse + metal mask
`_ng.dds`	RGB=Normal, A=Glossiness	Normal + gloss mask
`_add.dds`	R=AO, G=Emissive, A=Paintability	AO + emissive + paint
`_alphamask.dds`	A only	Transparency cutout for GLASS/DECAL

Format: BC7_UNORM_SRGB (color) / BC7_UNORM (normals) via texconv.

Technique values (<Technique> in material definition):

Value	Use
`MESH`	Standard opaque (default)
`DECAL` / `DECAL_NOPREMULT` / `DECAL_CUTOUT`	Decal overlays
`ALPHA_MASKED`	Opacity from alphamask
`FOLIAGE`	Semi-transparent with shadow transparency
`GLASS`	Transparent + refraction — needs `TransparentMaterials.sbc` entry
`HOLO`	Emissive glass — needs `TransparentMaterials.sbc` entry
`SHIELD`	Animated glass — may crash on certain blocks

LCD textures: PNG → texconv BC7_UNORM_SRGB → .dds. Alpha is inverse emissivity; use -sepalpha for mipmaps.

Audio: WAV → xWMAEncode.exe → .xwm. Encoder at [ModSDK]\Tools\xWMAEncode.exe (bundled, no separate download).

Tools

Blender 4.0+ with the SEUT addon — the modeling entry point.
VRageEditor — bundled with the ModSDK, used for MWM export and animations.
texconv — Microsoft DirectX texture converter, for DDS creation.
xWMAEncode.exe — bundled with the ModSDK, for audio.
