1	# Environment Artist
2
3	Modular, scalable environment production for games. Storytelling through space. Performance-conscious.
4
5	## When to Use
6
7	- Modular building kits, interior/exterior sets
8	- Terrain, cliffs, rocks, roads
9	- Vegetation placement and optimization
10	- Architectural spaces with narrative intent
11	- Scene composition and scale establishment
12
13	## Core Principles
14
15	1. Modularity — Pieces snap to grid; reusable across scenes
16	2. Storytelling — Environment communicates history and mood
17	3. Scale — Human reference always present
18	4. Performance — Instancing, LODs, texture atlases
19	5. Composition — Guide player eye with shapes and value
20
21	## Modular Kit Workflow
22
23	```
24	Grid Definition → Corner/Edge/Fill Pieces → Trim Sheets
25	→ UV Atlas → Material Variants → Instance Placement
26	→ Hero Overrides → Optimization → Export
27	```
28
29	## Grid Standards
30
31	\| Kit Type \| Grid Unit \| Snap \|
32	\|----------\|-----------\|------\|
33	\| Interior walls \| 2m or 4m \| 0.5m sub-grid \|
34	\| Exterior facades \| 4m modules \| 1m sub-grid \|
35	\| Roads \| 4m lane width \| Centerline snap \|
36	\| Props \| 0.5m \| Free placement \|
37
38	Name modules: `SM_Env_[Type]_[Role]_[Size]`
39	Example: `SM_Env_Wall_Corner_2m`
40
41	## Kit Piece Categories
42
43	\| Role \| Purpose \| Count Target \|
44	\|------\|---------\|--------------\|
45	\| Corner \| 90° turns \| 2–4 variants \|
46	\| Edge \| Straight runs \| 2–3 lengths \|
47	\| Fill \| Blank panels \| 3–5 variants \|
48	\| Door/Window \| Breakups \| 2–4 types \|
49	\| Trim \| Transitions \| Shared trim sheet \|
50
51	## Terrain & Natural Forms
52
53	- Hero rocks: sculpted or photogrammetry cleanup
54	- Background rocks: geometry nodes scatter
55	- Cliffs: modular cliff face pieces + blend shapes
56	- Ground: displacement or geo nodes with texture blending
57
58	## Vegetation
59
60	\| Type \| Approach \| Poly Budget \|
61	\|------\|----------\|-------------\|
62	\| Hero tree \| Hand model + cards \| 5k–15k tris \|
63	\| Mid tree \| Simplified + impostor LOD \| 2k–5k tris \|
64	\| Bush \| Cards + cluster \| 500–2k tris \|
65	\| Grass \| Cards or geo nodes scatter \| 2–50 tris per blade \|
66
67	Use geometry nodes for scatter; see geometry-nodes skill.
68
69	## Architecture
70
71	Interior:
72	- Ceiling height: 2.4m–3.5m standard
73	- Door: 2.1m × 0.9m
74	- Window sill: 0.9m from floor
75	- Corridors: minimum 1.5m playable width
76
77	Exterior:
78	- Floor count readable in silhouette
79	- Roof forms distinguish building type
80	- Weathering tells climate story
81
82	## Composition Guidelines
83
84	- Focal point — One hero element per vista
85	- Leading lines — Roads, walls, light guide movement
86	- Value hierarchy — Contrast draws attention
87	- Negative space — Rest areas between detail clusters
88	- Silhouette layers — Foreground/mid/background separation
89
90	## Storytelling Details
91
92	\| Detail \| Narrative Signal \|
93	\|--------\|------------------\|
94	\| Peeling paint \| Neglect, age \|
95	\| Barricades \| Conflict, danger \|
96	\| Personal items \| Former inhabitants \|
97	\| Damage patterns \| Event history \|
98	\| Lighting state \| Occupied vs abandoned \|
99
100	## Game Optimization
101
102	- Instance repeated modules (walls, floors)
103	- Shared trim sheet across kit
104	- Single material with vertex colors for variation
105	- LODs: 50%/25%/10% per module
106	- Occlusion: don't model unseen backsides
107
108	## MCP Integration
109
110	1. Create modular pieces with exact dimensions via MCP
111	2. Set up collection instances for kit preview
112	3. Scatter vegetation via geometry nodes (MCP)
113	4. Query total scene polycount
114	5. Organize export collections by kit type
115
116	## Constraints
117
118	### MUST DO
119	- Design for grid snapping from blockout
120	- Create minimum viable kit before hero pieces
121	- Use instancing for all repeated geometry
122	- Maintain consistent texel density across kit
123	- Include scale reference human figure
124
125	### MUST NOT DO
126	- Unique geometry for every wall segment
127	- Ignore backface culling opportunities
128	- Over-detail background-only areas
129	- Mix grid sizes within same kit
130	- Skip LOD planning
131
132	## Reference Guide
133
134	\| Topic \| Reference \| Load When \|
135	\|-------\|-----------\|-----------\|
136	\| Modular kit design \| `references/modular-kits.md` \| Kit creation \|
137	\| Composition \| `references/composition.md` \| Scene layout \|
138	\| Pipeline \| `../references/asset-pipeline.md` \| Phase context \|
139
140	## Style Integration
141
142	\| Style \| Approach \|
143	\|-------\|----------\|
144	\| horror-style \| Claustrophobic corridors; sparse lighting \|
145	\| lowpoly-style \| Large flat shapes; minimal modules \|
146	\| stylized-style \| Exaggerated proportions; bold colors \|
147	\| realistic-style \| High detail hero; scanned textures \|
