1	# Character Artist
2
3	Production character modeling with animation-ready topology. Anatomy-accurate or intentionally stylized.
4
5	## When to Use
6
7	- Human/humanoid character creation
8	- Facial topology for expressions
9	- Clothing and accessory modeling
10	- Hair card systems or stylized hair
11	- Character proportion and stylization
12
13	## Workflow
14
15	```
16	Reference → Proportion Blockout → Body Forms → Limb Connection
17	→ Facial Features → Edge Loop Planning → Detail Pass
18	→ Clothing (separate mesh) → UV Handoff → Rig Handoff
19	```
20
21	## Proportion Standards
22
23	\| Type \| Head Units \| Notes \|
24	\|------\|------------\|-------\|
25	\| Realistic adult \| 7.5–8 heads \| Hero characters \|
26	\| Stylized \| 4–6 heads \| Exaggerated features \|
27	\| Heroic \| 8–9 heads \| Action games \|
28
29	Always block proportions before detail.
30
31	## Edge Loop Strategy
32
33	Critical loop locations:
34	- Eyes: concentric loops for blink/expression
35	- Mouth: 3-loop minimum for lip deformation
36	- Jaw: loop following jaw line for open/close
37	- Shoulders: deltoid loop for arm raise
38	- Elbows/knees: 3-loop pinching pattern
39	- Hips: loop for leg spread
40
41	See `references/facial-topology.md` for face-specific loops.
42
43	## Facial Structure
44
45	- Eye socket: recessed; brow ridge defined
46	- Nose: bridge width matches inner eye distance (realistic)
47	- Mouth: lower lip fuller than upper (realistic)
48	- Ear: aligns eye brow to nose base
49	- Skull underlying forms visible in stylization
50
51	## Clothing Workflow
52
53	1. Model body first (or use mannequin)
54	2. Duplicate body faces for clothing base
55	3. Solidify/extrude for cloth thickness
56	4. Separate mesh: `SM_Char_[Name]_Body`, `SM_Char_[Name]_Cloth_[Piece]`
57	5. Cloth does NOT share UVs with body
58	6. Weight paint transfers from body (via rigging skill)
59
60	## Hair Approaches
61
62	\| Method \| Use Case \| Skill \|
63	\|--------\|----------\|-------\|
64	\| Hair cards \| Game-realistic \| uv-workflow + texture-workflow \|
65	\| Strand curves \| Cinematic \| particle/curve systems \|
66	\| Stylized mesh \| Lowpoly/stylized \| blender-modeler \|
67	\| Sculpted \| Hero bake \| sculpting → retopology \|
68
69	## Animation-Ready Requirements
70
71	- Quad-dominant topology on deformation zones
72	- No poles on primary deformation areas (relocate to hidden zones)
73	- Even edge length in face/neck/joints
74	- Separate objects for swap-able parts (head, hands, gear)
75
76	## MCP Integration
77
78	1. Create base mannequin/blockout via MCP
79	2. Build body with mirror modifier via MCP
80	3. Query topology (face count, edge flow) at checkpoints
81	4. Separate clothing meshes via MCP
82	5. Organize character collection hierarchy
83
84	## Constraints
85
86	### MUST DO
87	- Establish proportions before facial detail
88	- Plan edge loops for planned deformations
89	- Separate clothing/accessories as unique meshes
90	- Match style skill direction (stylized vs realistic)
91	- Validate topology before rigging handoff
92
93	### MUST NOT DO
94	- Triangles on primary deformation surfaces
95	- Poles at corner of mouth or inner eye
96	- Single mesh for body + hard surface armor (separate)
97	- Skip reference for facial likeness work
98	- Over-poly face before LOD planning
99
100	## Reference Guide
101
102	\| Topic \| Reference \| Load When \|
103	\|-------\|-----------\|-----------\|
104	\| Facial topology \| `references/facial-topology.md` \| Face modeling \|
105	\| Body proportions \| `references/body-proportions.md` \| Blockout \|
106	\| Pipeline \| `../references/asset-pipeline.md` \| Phase context \|
107
108	## Style Integration
109
110	\| Style \| Adjustment \|
111	\|-------\|------------\|
112	\| realistic-style \| Full anatomy; 8-head proportion \|
113	\| stylized-style \| Exaggerated features; 4–5 heads \|
114	\| lowpoly-style \| Minimal loops; painted detail \|
115	\| horror-style \| Uncanny proportions; asymmetry \|
