Asset Format

Asset Modeling

Assets should be modeled hierarchically:

• Core pieces - pieces that are central to the asset
• Secondary pieces - pieces that are placed relative to the core piece
• Tertiary - pieces that are relative to the secondary
• .. and so on

Example: Tree

• Core piece: Trunk
• Secondary piece: Branch(es) and leaves

When modelling Secondary and below pieces, the modeler will need to determine the valid range of positions and rotations for the child piece relative to its parent.

Asset Delivery

• Asset pieces should be exported as separate meshes
• Each asset should have an accompanying readme specifying the following:

1. The core pieces
2. The hierarchical pieces and what acceptable positions they can be placed relative to the core pieces. Example - a tree branch can be placed at a y value of 60-100 relative to the trunk, with any y rotation and a range of 0 - 40 degrees z rotation
3. What levels of modification are available for the entire asset. e.g a tree can be scaled in any direction, but cannot be rotated about the x or y axis.

Specific Asset Notes

TBD as we go through the asset list.
