Models · Road to Redemption

These are the models as the client embeds them, read from crates/client/assets/models/ when the site is built, so the counts below are always the shipped files'. Beside each monster is the painting it was made from: the concept and what the game draws today, side by side. Drag a model to turn it, scroll or pinch to zoom; the floor grid is one tile, the game's unit of length. The asset explorer shows them one at a time, beside every other file the game ships.

The monsters and the party are modelled in the web prototype (proto-web/src/models/), exported with their surfaces baked into vertex colours, and decimated to their budgets in Blender (crates/client/art/lods.py). The props are built in Blender from code (crates/client/art/models.py). There are no textures on any of them: colour is per vertex, and the parts that glow (eyes, embers, runes) are a second material, ember. How to make or change one: docs/art.md in the repository.

Here every model is lit plainly so its colours show. In the game the monsters are darker: they are drawn as silhouettes against the party's light, their edges lit in their rarity's colour, so a horde reads at a glance.

The client embeds 24 models (2.1 MB), 74 pieces of HUD art (3.9 MB) and 9 texture maps (7.2 MB).

Monsters

Each monster kind ships at 3 levels of detail, each held to a vertex budget (near 4,000, mid 1,500, far 400) and drawn in its own band of camera distance. All of one kind share a mesh per level, so a horde is one instanced draw per level.

The party

The party isn't decimated: one level each, under 15,000 triangles, since at most four are on screen.
