Auto Warz — Art Direction Document¶

Document Type: Art & Audio Version: 0.6 Status: In Progress Last Updated: 2026-08-27 Vault destination: 03_Art & Audio Author: Solo Developer Parent Document: [01_Master GDD](<../01_Design Documents/01_Master GDD.md>) Related Documents: [05_Asset List & Delivery Specification](<./05_Asset List & Delivery Specification.md>) · [02_Blender Pipeline & Asset Standards](<./02_Blender Pipeline & Asset Standards.md>) · [03_Prompt Library](<./03_Prompt Library.md>) · [01_Technical Architecture Document](<../02_Technical Documents/01_Technical Architecture Document.md>) · [09_UI-UX Design Document](<../01_Design Documents/09_UI-UX Design Document.md>)

Authority: [07_Art Direction Style Bible](<./07_Art Direction Style Bible.md>). It is the locked specification for palette, surface finish, form language, signal channels and port geometry. This document covers what the Style Bible does not: world and terrain, effects, Genesis and alien design, UI, animation and the asset pipeline. Where the two disagree, the Style Bible wins.

Purpose of This Document¶

This document defines the complete visual identity of Auto Warz. Every asset — buildings, terrain, effects, UI, characters — must be consistent with the style defined here.

This document must be read before generating any art asset. Generating assets without a locked style guide produces an inconsistent visual mess that is expensive to fix later. Style first, assets second.

Style Summary¶

Property	Value
Style	Clean chamfered hard-surface. Matte, minimal wear, precise mechanical forms.
Renderer	Godot 4 Forward+, standard PBR plus an emission mask
Outlines	None. No inverted hull, no outline pass.
Palette	Light panel greys, one accent (Accent Orange), one emissive (Cyan)
Surface	Matte. Roughness 0.55–0.65 panels, 0.45 accents, 0.70 dark structure. Metallic 0.0 on panels.
Wear / grime	None on standard buildings
Tone	Precise, industrial, legible. Impressive rather than gritty.

What This Style Is NOT¶

Not cel-shaded. No colour quantisation, no stepped lighting, no outline pass.
Not flat-colour. Surfaces are PBR with real roughness and metallic values.
Not colour-coded by category. Buildings are distinguished by silhouette.
Not voxel or blocky, and not organic curves.
Not gritty. No grime or wear layer on standard buildings.

Primary Visual References¶

Satisfactory¶

Clean, optimistic sci-fi industrial. Buildings are bold, geometric, and readable. The factory floor feels impressive and purposeful. Borrow: building silhouette clarity, sense of scale, industrial optimism.

Astroneer¶

Soft rounded shapes, friendly palette, approachable feel. Nothing feels threatening or harsh. Borrow: approachability, smooth geometry, the way colours pop against a clean background.

Townscaper¶

Extremely readable from above. Distinct colours per building type. Clean outlines. Every element is identifiable at a glance. Borrow: top-down readability, colour-coding as navigation, clean separation between elements.

Factorio¶

Dense, functional, utilitarian. Every building looks like it does a specific job. Borrow: purposeful building design, visual density that reads as productivity, category-colour system.

The Synthesis¶

Auto Warz buildings should feel like they belong in Satisfactory's world but painted by Townscaper's colour system, with Astroneer's approachability and Factorio's purposefulness. Clean, cool, readable, impressive.

Colour System¶

Core Palette¶

Extracted from [07_Art Direction Style Bible](<./07_Art Direction Style Bible.md>) §1.1. Do not edit here.

Role	Hex	Godot `Color`	Usage
Panel Base	`#EBEDEC`	`Color(0.922, 0.929, 0.925)`	Primary light panels. The dominant surface.
Panel Mid	`#CECAC6`	`Color(0.808, 0.792, 0.776)`	Secondary panels, subtle tonal breakup
Panel Shadow	`#A4A19D`	`Color(0.643, 0.631, 0.616)`	Underside panels, occluded faces
Structure Grey	`#807F7E`	`Color(0.502, 0.498, 0.494)`	Struts, frames, mechanical housings
Frame Dark	`#535E60`	`Color(0.325, 0.369, 0.376)`	Structural frames, joint housings. Slight cool cast.
Recess	`#2A3132`	`Color(0.165, 0.192, 0.196)`	Panel gaps, recessed channels, shadow lines
Void Black	`#0B0B0E`	`Color(0.043, 0.043, 0.055)`	Vents, deepest recesses, open interiors only
Accent Orange	`#EC983A`	`Color(0.925, 0.596, 0.227)`	Clamps, trim caps, mechanical joints, hazard trim
Emissive Cyan	`#2ED9E8`	`Color(0.180, 0.851, 0.910)`	All powered/active indicators

There is no category colour-coding. Buildings are distinguished by silhouette (Canonical Design Facts §6). The per-category accent table that used to sit here is removed. Accent Orange is the only accent, used for clamps, trim caps, mechanical joints and hazard trim, and it never identifies a building type.

Accent Colours — Effects & World¶

Element	Colour	Hex
Power conduit glow	Bright Yellow	`#F5D000`
Resource item (belt)	Matches resource colour	See resource table
Fluid in pipes	Matches fluid colour	See fluid table
Alien territory border	Warning Red	`#CC2200`
Genesis bot glow	Pure White	`#FFFFFF`
Selection highlight	Bright Cyan	`#00E5FF`
Placement ghost (valid)	Translucent Green	`#00FF0044`
Placement ghost (invalid)	Translucent Red	`#FF000044`

Fluid Colours in Pipes¶

Fluid	Pipe Tint	Hex
Coolant	Cool blue	`#3A8ACA`
Liquid Fuel	Warm orange	`#CA6A1A`
Liquid Metal	Glowing amber	`#E8A020`
Chemical Solvent	Acid yellow-green	`#8ACA2A`

Faction Badge Colours¶

Each faction has a distinct badge colour applied as a thin coloured band at the base of every building they own.

Faction	Badge Colour	Hex
Player (no faction)	White	`#FFFFFF`
The Salvagers	Orange	`#E87820`
The Vanguard	Steel Blue	`#3A5A8C`
The Cultivators	Forest Green	`#3A7C3A`
The Remnants	Dark Purple	`#5A2A8C`
Custom (multiplayer)	Player-chosen	—

Building Visual Language¶

Core Construction Rules¶

Every building in Auto Warz must follow these rules:

Clean chamfered hard-surface geometry — precise mechanical forms with 0.04 m chamfers. Not voxel/blocky, not organic curves.
Silhouette is the identity — the top-down silhouette of each building must be unique and immediately recognisable. Players identify buildings by shape first, colour second.
Rooftop detail matters most — the camera is top-down. The roof face must have interesting geometry (raised sections, recessed panels, protruding elements). Side faces are secondary.
One accent, used sparingly. Accent Orange marks clamps, trim caps, mechanical joints and hazard trim. It never identifies a category.
Faction badge at base — always a thin coloured band at ground level.
Light panels, dark recesses. Panel greys dominate the surface; Recess and Void Black appear only in gaps, vents and open interiors.
PBR materials, not flat colour. Roughness and metallic per Style Bible §1.9. Geometry provides the form; the emission mask provides the glow.

Building Height Guidelines¶

Building Type	Base Height	Notes
Small extraction (2×2)	Low	Drill element extends above roofline
Medium processing (3×3)	Medium	Chimney / exhaust features visible from above
Large processing (4×4)	Medium-tall	Complex rooftop machinery
Storage	Low-medium	Wide and squat
Power generators	Medium	Vents and exhaust stacks
Research labs	Tall	Antenna arrays, floating data elements
Defence turrets	Medium	Barrel extends prominently above base
Pipes / connectors	Very low	Ground-level, does not obstruct view

Silhouette Variety¶

No two building categories should share a top-down silhouette. Test every asset by converting its top-down render to greyscale — it must still be identifiable without colour.

Faction Badge System¶

The faction badge is a thin coloured band wrapping the entire base perimeter of a building. It sits at ground level.

Badge Rules¶

Thin band — approximately 10–15% of building height
Wraps the full perimeter of the building footprint
Colour matches the owning faction exactly (no variation)
Subtle emissive glow — slightly self-lit so it's visible in shadow
In multiplayer: badge colour reflects which player's faction owns the building
Neutral/unclaimed buildings have no badge (or a dim grey placeholder)

Badge Implementation (Godot 4)¶

# Badge is a separate MeshInstance3D child of the building scene
# Uses a flat box mesh: width=building_width, height=0.2, depth=building_depth
# Material: StandardMaterial3D with emission enabled
# Emission colour set at runtime from FactionDefinition resource

func set_faction_badge(faction: FactionDefinition) -> void:
    badge_mesh.material_override.albedo_color = faction.badge_colour
    badge_mesh.material_override.emission = faction.badge_colour
    badge_mesh.material_override.emission_energy = 0.8

Module Visuals¶

Modules do not stack. They sit in fixed slots on the building roof, and slot count comes from footprint size plus Machine Mk, not from research. The stacked-cube tower model is removed.

Full specification in [24_Module System Design](<../01_Design Documents/24_Module System Design.md>) §2. Module visual design is not yet authored.

Planet & Terrain¶

Home Planet (Phase 1)¶

The starting planet is a rocky, alien world — cool-toned, striking, not barren. Think a geologically active planet under a slightly cold sun.

Element	Visual Description
Ground base	Cool blue-grey rocky surface, flat-faced low poly geometry
Rock formations	Scattered low poly boulders, same cool palette as ground
Organic patches	Muted teal-green areas where Biomass Harvester operates
Water sources	Flat reflective blue-grey pools, slightly emissive
Gas vents	Dark ground with teal-yellow mist particle effect
Crystal deposits	Blue-tinted low poly formations, bright sparkle emission
Ore deposits	Steel grey-brown mounds, slightly darker than terrain
Alien territory border	Red glowing line/particles marking the boundary
Coal deposits	Dark charcoal grey mounds

Terrain Generation Visual Rules¶

Height variation is subtle — no dramatic cliffs in Phase 1
Resource nodes are visually distinct from terrain — different colour, slight height above ground
Alien zones have a visual tint — slightly darker/redder than player territory
Crashed ship wreckage visible near session start point — narrative anchor

Planet Types (Phase 2+)¶

Full planet visual design in [05_World Generation & Planet Types](<../01_Design Documents/05_World Generation & Planet Types.md>)

Planet Type	Base Palette	Accent
Terrestrial	Cool blue-grey	Teal
Lava	Dark red-black	Orange-red glow
Ocean	Deep blue	Cyan
Carbon	Near-black	Purple-blue
Rogue	Cold white-grey	Pale blue

Resource Nodes¶

Resource nodes must be visually identifiable from above without UI labels.

Resource	Node Appearance	Colour
Metal Ore	Chunky voxel mound with rust-red veins	`#8C3A1A`
Silicon Crystals	Tall thin voxel crystal formation	`#4A7ACC`
Chemical Gas	Dark vent with rising yellow-green mist	`#7ACC2A`
Biomass	Low organic voxel mass, dark green	`#2A5A1A`
Coal	Dark grey-black voxel mound	`#2A2A2A`
Water	Flat blue-grey pool, slight emission	`#3A6A8C`

Lighting & Atmosphere¶

Scene Lighting¶

Primary light: Single DirectionalLight3D — warm white, angle ~45° from upper-left
Ambient light: Warm fill, low intensity — prevents harsh shadows in recessed areas
No dynamic shadows on belts/items — performance consideration
Building shadows: Simple blob shadow on ground beneath each building

Emissive Elements¶

Glowing elements are self-lit — they do not depend on scene lighting. This ensures they always pop against the muted base palette.

Emissive elements include: - Cyan working lights on the machine body — alive and working, dimming with decay - Base ring status — unlit when healthy, amber for logistics faults, red for power - Resource items on belts - Fluid in pipes - Power conduit lines - Genesis bot glow - Alien territory border

The first two are signal channels with defined meanings. See [07_Art Direction Style Bible](<./07_Art Direction Style Bible.md>) §1.6 to §1.7b — do not add emissive elements that compete with them.

Time of Day¶

Day/night cycle exists (visual only in Phase 1)
Daytime: warm directional light, full visibility
Night: cool blue ambient, emissive elements glow brighter, solar panels show 0 output
Transition: gradual colour temperature shift over ~5 minutes real time
Night does not affect gameplay in Phase 1 (except solar panels)

Atmosphere¶

Subtle atmospheric haze on distant terrain (depth fog, very light)
Dust particle system on arid terrain areas (very sparse, performance-conscious)
Gas vent particle effects (yellow-green mist rising)

Surface & Shading¶

Standard PBR plus an emission mask. There is no cel-shader, no colour quantisation and no outline pass. The previous specification for all three is removed.

Extracted from [07_Art Direction Style Bible](<./07_Art Direction Style Bible.md>) §1.9. Do not edit here.

Property	Value
Roughness (panels)	0.55 to 0.65
Roughness (orange accents)	0.45
Roughness (dark structure)	0.70
Metallic (panels)	0.0
Metallic (exposed mechanical)	0.8
Grime / wear layer	None on standard buildings

Image 1 (drill) is out of spec on grime and gloss; when rebuilt, dial to the Image 3 standard.

Emission. #2ED9E8 at energy 2.5, scaling down to ~0.9 as a building decays. Emission is the only self-lit channel. Everything else is lit by the scene.

Bloom stays subtle: threshold 0.9, intensity 0.3, so only bright emissives halo.

Effects & Particles¶

Belt Item Movement¶

Items on belts are small coloured cubes (matching resource colour)
Size: ~0.3×0.3×0.3 world units
No physics — position interpolated between belt segments
Slight wobble animation (±5° rotation) as they move

Building Operation Effects¶

Building	Effect
Mining Drill	Dust particles rising from drill point
Smelter	Orange heat shimmer + smoke particles from chimney
Chemical Plant	Coloured fluid visible in glass pipe sections
Assembly Machine	Spark particles during processing
Research Lab	Floating data cube particles orbiting the building
Coal Generator	Dark smoke + ember particles
Fuel Generator	Clean blue flame visible in exhaust
Solar Panel	Subtle shimmer on panel surface in daylight

Construction Effects¶

Ghost building pulses between 30–70% opacity while being built
Construction bots leave a brief spark trail as they work
Building "materialises" with a brief upward-sweep particle effect when completed

Combat & Defence Effects¶

Turret projectile: small fast-moving cube with motion trail
Alien hit: brief red flash on alien model
Building damaged by alien: crack texture overlay, smoke particles
Alien defeat: dissolve effect (cubes scatter and fade)

Power Effects¶

Power conduit lines between buildings: thin yellow animated lines
Power failure: brief red flash across all affected buildings
Accumulator charging: slow fill animation on building accent

Genesis Visual Design¶

Genesis is the player's only companion. Its visual design must feel distinct, memorable, and slightly endearing.

Design Principles¶

Flying bot — no legs, no tracks, hovers and moves through the air
Compact head + small body — mostly head, minimal body underneath
White/silver base — stands out against the muted terrain palette
Visor front panel — the defining feature, emits a laser beam for all interactions
Single laser system — same beam used for construction, deconstruction, and combat
Slightly endearing — despite being a weapon-capable bot, it should feel friendly
No faction badge — Genesis belongs to everyone

Genesis Design Specification¶

Body:   Small compact body — mostly head proportion, minimal torso
Head:   Dominant feature — large relative to body
Visor:  Front-facing panel/visor, glows blue-white when idle,
        laser beam emits from this panel during all actions
Hover:  No legs — floats above ground, thruster elements underneath
Glow:   Constant soft white/blue emission from visor panel
Badge:  None — Genesis belongs to everyone
Special: Unique — no other entity in the game looks like Genesis

Genesis Mesh Structure (Blender)¶

genesis_root
├── body_mesh          — main head + body form
├── emissive_mesh      — visor glow panel (blue-white)
└── thruster_particles — empty, positioned underneath for hover effect

Note: Laser beam is a Godot effect — a RayCast3D with a GPUParticles3D beam attached. Not modelled in Blender.

Genesis Animations¶

Idle: Gentle bobbing float, visor softly pulsing
Moving: Smooth glide through air, slight tilt in direction of travel
Building: Visor beam extends to construction ghost, fills bottom-to-top
Mining: Visor beam points downward at resource node
Combat: Visor beam sweeps to target, brighter intensity
Task complete: Brief bright flash from visor

Alien Visual Design¶

Full alien behaviour in [[06_Combat & War System Design]]

Design Principles¶

Clearly not human-made — organic shapes approximated in voxel geometry
Colour distinct from all building categories — no confusion with player structures
Readable silhouette from above — the camera is top-down
Exaggerated features — consistent with the chunky cartoon voxel style

Gravel Crawlers (Home Planet Phase 1)¶

Body: Low-slung rectangular mass, wide and flat
Colour: Stone grey (#7A7060) with amber eye markings (#CC8800)
Legs: 6 stub legs visible from above as small protrusions
Size: 1×2 voxel units (fits in 1 grid cell)
Glow: Amber eye sockets
Movement: Scuttling animation, legs alternate

General Alien Rules¶

All alien species use the same PBR material model as buildings (Style Bible §1.9)
Alien colours must not read as Accent Orange or Emissive Cyan, which are spoken for as the building accent and the alive-and-working signal
Each planet's alien species uses that planet's colour palette as a base
Alien sizes range from 1×1 to 3×3 grid cells (larger = rarer, more dangerous)

UI Visual Language¶

Full UI specification in [09_UI-UX Design Document](<../01_Design Documents/09_UI-UX Design Document.md>)

UI Style Consistency with World¶

UI panels use the same muted dark palette as the game world (in dark theme)
Accent colours in UI match their corresponding world colours (power = yellow, research = teal)
Resource icons are the same coloured cube representation as the in-world belt items
Building icons in the Build Menu are simplified top-down silhouettes of the actual buildings

Icon Style¶

All icons are flat, single-colour SVG
No gradients, no shadows on icons
Resource icons: square badge with resource colour + simple shape inside
Building icons: top-down silhouette, category colour fill, black outline

Animation Principles¶

The Five Animation Rules¶

Everything that runs, moves — idle buildings have subtle animation (rotating fans, blinking lights, slow pulsing). A still factory feels dead.
Animation communicates state — running = smooth animation, stalled = frozen, no power = all lights off and animation stops
Keep it subtle — animations should be noticeable when you look for them, not distracting when you're not. Maximum amplitude is small.
Performance first — particle effects and animations are the first thing to cut if frame rate suffers. Always have a low-detail mode.
Voxel-appropriate movement — no smooth organic curves. Movement is mechanical, stepped, purposeful. This is a factory, not a forest.

Animation Types¶

Type	Examples	Implementation
Looping idle	Fan rotation, light blink, pipe flow	AnimationPlayer loop
State transition	Power off (lights fade), stall (animation freeze)	AnimationPlayer one-shot
Particle system	Smoke, sparks, dust, construction	GPUParticles3D
Shader animation	Emissive pulse, belt item movement	Shader time uniform
Tween	Building materialise, module install	Godot Tween

AI Art Stack¶

The art pipeline uses four tools chosen for cost-effectiveness and quality:

Tool	Role	Used For
Recraft	AI image generation	Concept art, building references, style exploration
Leonardo AI	AI image generation	Alternate concepts, texture references, character art
Vectorizer AI	Raster → vector conversion	UI icons, resource icons, flat 2D elements
Inkscape	Vector editing (free)	Icon cleanup, SVG polish, UI asset finalisation

When to Use Each Tool¶

Recraft — primary tool for 3D building concept generation. Handles consistent style well across multiple generations. Use for all building concepts and terrain references.

Leonardo AI — secondary tool, use when Recraft output isn't hitting the mark. Good for character art (Genesis, aliens) and more stylised outputs. Also useful for generating multiple variations quickly.

Vectorizer AI + Inkscape — exclusively for 2D flat assets: resource icons, building menu icons, UI elements, faction badges. Recraft/Leonardo generate the base image → Vectorizer converts to SVG → Inkscape cleans up paths.

What This Stack Does NOT Cover¶

3D modelling — the art designer uses their own 3D tools (Blender recommended) to build .glb assets. The AI stack provides concept references, not 3D output.
Animation — handled in Blender / Godot AnimationPlayer directly.

Asset Pipeline¶

Workflow — 3D Buildings & Environment Assets¶

1. Define asset spec in this document (style, colour, footprint, accent colour)
2. Generate concept in Recraft using Master Style Prompt
   → If unsatisfied, try Leonardo AI as alternative
3. Share approved concept with art designer as 3D reference
4. Art designer builds low poly .glb in Blender matching the concept
5. Import .glb to Godot 4
6. Apply PBR materials per `Style Bible` §1.9 (roughness, metallic, emission mask)
7. Add faction badge child mesh (named badge_mesh)
8. Add emissive elements
9. Review at multiple zoom levels — pass quality checklist
10. Commit to repository: res://assets/buildings/bld_[id].glb

Workflow — 2D Icons & UI Assets¶

1. Generate flat icon concept in Recraft or Leonardo
2. Run through Vectorizer AI → exports clean SVG
3. Open in Inkscape — clean up paths, adjust colours to match palette
4. Export as SVG for UI use
5. Commit to repository: res://assets/icons/[category]/[id].svg

Quality Checklist (per 3D asset)¶

Reads clearly from top-down camera at normal zoom
Reads clearly at maximum zoom-out distance
Greyscale test passed — identifiable by silhouette alone
Faction badge child mesh present and named badge_mesh
Emissive elements glow correctly
Origin point at bottom-centre of footprint
Scale correct — fits its grid cells exactly
Materials match Style Bible §1.9 roughness/metallic; emission mask present where required
File named correctly (bld_[id].glb)

Concept Generation Prompts¶

The previous Recraft and Leonardo master prompts are removed. Both specified cel-shading, thick dark outlines, flat colour faces and per-category accent colours — every one of which is superseded.

The replacement lives in [07_Art Direction Style Bible](<./07_Art Direction Style Bible.md>) §4, which is currently marked Pending. It must embed the §1 palette values plus a locked reference render.

Writing replacement prompts here instead would author the authority's content in a downstream document, which is exactly the inversion this vault's precedence rule exists to prevent. Concept generation is blocked until §4 is written. Tracked as OI-249.

Asset List & Delivery Specification¶

Full asset list, priority order, delivery status tracking, and per-asset quality checklist have been moved to a dedicated document.

See: [05_Asset List & Delivery Specification](<./05_Asset List & Delivery Specification.md>)

What To Avoid¶

❌ Avoid	✅ Instead
Cel-shaded stepped lighting	Standard PBR with real roughness and metallic response
Outlines of any kind	Silhouette and chamfer do the separating work
Category colour-coding	Silhouette identifies the building
Voxel / blocky geometry, or organic curves	Clean chamfered hard-surface forms
Flat colour with no material response	Matte PBR per `Style Bible` §1.9
Warm brown/earthy base palette	Light panel greys, single orange accent
Grime, wear or weathering	Clean, minimal wear
Mixing art styles across buildings	Every asset must pass the Master Style Prompt test
Generating assets before reading this doc	Style guide first, assets second — always
Fine detail that disappears at zoom-out	All detail must read at maximum camera distance
Warm-tinted lighting	Cool white or slightly cool blue directional light
Starting with many assets	Approve Mining Drill + Smelter first — they set the standard

Open items for this document are tracked in docs/open-items.md, area art.
