Hand Painted Style

Brushwork in albedo. Geometry supports paint, not microdetail.

Tenets

1. Paint values in albedo
2. Low roughness variation unless wet/metal accents
3. Soft bevels for paint catch
4. Atlas-friendly for kits
5. Avoid photoreal photo-bashed noise

Recipe

Target a 512-1024 px per-asset painted atlas feel: baked-in value in albedo, roughness 0.85-1.0, almost no specular, soft overcast light for checking the paint.

1. Base material: pbr_material.py roughness 0.9, specular_ior_level 0.2, metallic 0 (paint carries the form; add the painted texture through textures {"base_color": path} once it exists).
2. Preview lighting: light_rig.py preset overcast so painted shading is not fighting real shadows.
3. Soft bevels for paint catch: add a Bevel modifier (width ~0.01, 2 segments) on hand-painted kit pieces.
4. Render: render_preset.py eevee_final, then comp_grade.py clean.
5. Textures: paint in Texture Paint mode or bake with texture-workflow before final.
