Hytale Texture Artist

Hytale 纹理制作师

Create pixel art textures following Hytale's official art style.

遵循Hytale官方美术风格创作像素画纹理。

Core Principles

核心原则

Hytale textures are illustrations painted onto 3D models, not just flat colors. Every texture should have:

Baked-in lighting and shadows
Color variation (no flat surfaces)
Readable silhouettes
Consistent style

Hytale纹理是绘制在3D模型上的插画，而非单纯的纯色填充。每个纹理都应具备：

烘焙好的光照与阴影
色彩变化（无平面色块）
清晰的轮廓
风格统一

Texture Density Standards

纹理密度标准

Asset Type	Density	Texture Size
Blocks	32px per unit	32x32, 64x64
Props	32px per unit	32x32, 64x64
Characters	64px per unit	64x64, 128x128
Items/Icons	32px or 64px	32x32, 64x64

Rule: All textures must be multiples of 32px.

资源类型	密度	纹理尺寸
方块	每单位32px	32x32, 64x64
道具	每单位32px	32x32, 64x64
角色	每单位64px	64x64, 128x128
物品/图标	32px或64px	32x32, 64x64

规则：所有纹理的尺寸必须是32px的倍数。

Color Rules

色彩规则

Never Use

禁止使用

Color	Why
Pure Black (#000000)	Too harsh, looks unnatural
Pure White (#FFFFFF)	Too bright, breaks immersion
Flat gray shadows	Feels dead and lifeless

颜色	原因
纯黑色 (#000000)	过于生硬，看起来不自然
纯白色 (#FFFFFF)	过于刺眼，破坏沉浸感
平涂灰色阴影	显得呆板无生气

Always Do

建议做法

Technique	Why
Tinted shadows	Adds life (use purple, blue hints)
Warm highlights	Natural light feeling
Color variation	Prevents flat, boring surfaces
Subtle gradients	Creates depth

技巧	原因
带色调的阴影	增添活力（加入紫色、蓝色色调）
暖色调高光	营造自然光照感
色彩变化	避免平面、单调的表面
柔和渐变	创造深度

Shadow Painting Technique

阴影绘制技巧

Step 1: Base Color

步骤1：基础色

Start with your mid-tone base color:

Example stone: #8C8C8C (medium gray)

从中间色调的基础色开始：

Example stone: #8C8C8C (medium gray)

Step 2: Add Light

步骤2：添加光照

Add lighter areas where light hits (typically top/left):

Highlight: #A8A8A8 (lighter gray)
Rim light: #B8B8B8 (lightest)

在光照照射的区域（通常是顶部/左侧）添加较亮的色块：

Highlight: #A8A8A8 (lighter gray)
Rim light: #B8B8B8 (lightest)

Step 3: Add Shadows (With Color!)

步骤3：添加带色调的阴影

Add darker areas with tinted shadows:

Shadow: #6A6878 (purple-tinted gray)
Deep shadow: #585068 (more purple)

添加带色调的深色阴影区域：

Shadow: #6A6878 (purple-tinted gray)
Deep shadow: #585068 (more purple)

Step 4: Detail

步骤4：添加细节

Add texture details (cracks, spots, grain):

Use pencil brush
Keep consistent light direction
Don't overdo detail

添加纹理细节（裂纹、斑点、颗粒）：

使用铅笔笔刷
保持一致的光照方向
不要过度添加细节

Brush Workflow

笔刷工作流

Recommended Brushes

Brush	Use For
Pencil (hard)	Outlines, details, color blocking
Soft round	Gradients, volume, soft shadows
Texture brush	Surface noise, grain

笔刷	适用场景
硬边铅笔笔刷	轮廓、细节、色块填充
软边圆形笔刷	渐变、体积感、柔和阴影
纹理笔刷	表面噪点、颗粒感

Opacity Settings

不透明度设置

Pencil: 100% opacity for clean pixels
Soft round: 10-30% for gradual blending
Texture: 5-15% for subtle variation

铅笔笔刷：100%不透明度，用于清晰的像素绘制
软边圆形笔刷：10-30%不透明度，用于平缓过渡
纹理笔刷：5-15%不透明度，用于细微的色彩变化
