It is not an app you launch yourself — it is a Codex Skill folder you drop into Codex's skills directory, then you just describe the card you want in chat and Codex runs the whole pipeline for you.How do I actually get a card made?Place the skill in Codex's skills folder, then tell Codex in natural language what card you want (optionally attaching a reference photo); Codex draws the art, writes the text layer, generates the config, runs the pipeline, starts a local server and opens the page to test dragging, flipping, the slider and mobile layout.

Blender itself doesn't need manual installation — the pipeline automatically downloads the official portable build into /tools/ and verifies it with SHA-256.

No — the skill folder ships only code and text; any Blender file, renders or images you create are written into your own output project, not into the skill itself.What's the difference between the holographic mode and the new dual-image grating mode?Holographic mode layers one image with parallax, laser rainbow, Voronoi star glow and a gold border. The new grating mode uses two full card faces (A and B) that swap entirely as you tilt the card, with B generated from A to keep the same face shape, proportions and outfit; it exports a real GLB model instead of flat layers.

Yes — each card's output can be archived into its own folder and summarized by a manifest generator into a gallery page, with cards browsable by character, style, theme and rarity and each keeping a permanent URL.Is the Blender project actually reusable after it's generated?Yes, card.blend is a real editable Blender scene with Chinese-named shared node groups for scale, depth and parallax, plus independently adjustable materials for the laser stripes, star glow and line-art glow — useful even as a teaching reference for how foil cards work.
