Prop Artist

道具艺术家

Grounded, readable props. Silhouette first. Real-world scale. Kitbash-friendly parts.

写实风格、高辨识度道具。优先轮廓剪影。遵循真实世界比例。支持kitbash拼接的零件设计。

When to Use

适用场景

Furniture, tools, containers, electronics, household objects
Hero interactive props and background set dressing pieces
Kitbash libraries (handles, brackets, panels, fasteners)
When hard-surface sci-fi language would feel wrong

家具、工具、容器、电子产品、家居物品
hero交互道具与背景布景组件
kitbash素材库（把手、支架、面板、紧固件）
当科幻hard-surface设计语言不合适时

Design Principles

设计原则

Real-world scale — Measure against human (door 2.0–2.1m, chair seat ~0.45m)
Silhouette readability — Reads at game camera distance
Wear hierarchy — Contact edges dirty; protected faces cleaner
Part logic — Separate meshes where materials or LODs differ
Pivot correctness — Floor contact, grip, hinge, or socket as needed

真实世界比例 — 以人体为参照测量（门2.0–2.1米，椅面约0.45米）
轮廓辨识度 — 在游戏相机距离下可清晰识别
磨损层级 — 接触边缘更脏；受保护表面更干净
零件逻辑 — 材质或LOD不同的部位使用独立网格
轴心点正确性 — 根据需要设置为地面接触点、握把、铰链或接口

Prop Tiers

道具层级

Tier	Tris (guide)	Detail	Use
Hero	2k–8k	Full bevels, unique wear	Interactables, close-ups
Standard	500–2k	Clean forms, shared mats	Midground
Background	100–500	Block forms, atlas mats	Far / dense dressing

层级	Tris（参考值）	细节程度	用途
Hero	2k–8k	完整倒角、专属磨损效果	可交互道具、特写镜头
标准	500–2k	干净造型、共享材质	中景
背景	100–500	块状造型、atlas材质	远景/密集布景

Kitbash Rules

Kitbash规范

Name parts
```
SM_KB_[Category]_[Part]
```
Keep origins at logical attach points
Prefer modular dimensions (0.05 / 0.1 / 0.25m grid)
Collection:
```
COL_Kitbash_[Set]
```

零件命名格式为
```
SM_KB_[Category]_[Part]
```
原点设置在合理的连接点位置
优先采用模块化尺寸（0.05 / 0.1 / 0.25米网格）
集合命名：
```
COL_Kitbash_[Set]
```

Material Guidance

材质指南

Limit unique materials; atlas where possible
Separate glass / emissive / opaque when needed for engine
Wear via roughness/AO, not only albedo dirt

限制专属材质数量；尽可能使用atlas纹理
引擎需要时，分离玻璃/emissive/不透明材质
通过roughness/AO表现磨损，而非仅用albedo脏污效果

Constraints

约束条件

MUST DO

必须遵守

Set real-world scale before detailing
Place pivot intentionally
Match prop tier to camera distance

细化前先设置真实世界比例
合理设置轴心点位置
道具层级与相机距离匹配

MUST NOT DO

禁止操作

Over-greeble everyday objects
Use sci-fi panel language on mundane props
Skip collision planning for interactables

给日常物品添加过多greeble
在普通道具上使用科幻面板设计语言
可交互道具跳过碰撞规划
