Genre: Action / Combat

Readable arenas. Attack silhouettes. Breakables clear. Camera-friendly volumes.

Recipe

Readable combat arena: 16-24 m diameter flat floor, 3 m clear sword/combo radius, dramatic but even lighting at about 3:1 key to fill, 35 mm action camera.

Light the arena with light_rig.py preset golden_hour (strong directional key reads attack silhouettes).
Frame a combat camera with camera_rig.py: lens_mm 35, elevation_deg 20, fill 0.5, aspect 16:9.
Scatter breakable props (boxes, barrels) around the arena edge with scatter_props.py, min_dist 2.5 so the center stays clear and max_dist 5.5 (the arena edge).
Give breakables a high-contrast material with pbr_material.py (base_color warm, roughness 0.7) so they read apart from the floor.
Add punch with comp_grade.py preset cinematic.
