Set Dressing

Story through placement. Controlled clutter. Readable clusters.

When to Use

Interior/exterior dressing passes
Narrative prop clusters
Avoiding empty or overstuffed spaces
After modular layout is locked

Workflow

Layout locked → Hero narrative props → Secondary clusters
  → Background filler → Decals/wear → Lighting check → QA

Density Rules

Zone	Density
Hero interact zone	High intent, low noise
Midground	Supporting story clusters
Background	Sparse; silhouette only
Traversal path	Clearance for player/camera

Cluster Method

Pick a story beat (meal abandoned, workbench used, escape rushed)
Place 3–7 props that sell the beat
Add 1–2 wear/decal cues
Stop — do not fill every surface

Prop Sources

prop-artist for unique pieces
Kitbash / modular libraries for filler
Instance repeats; vary rotation/scale slightly

Horror / Sparse Styles

Fewer props, more meaning
Negative space intentional
Coordinate with horror-style / psx-horror-style

Constraints

MUST DO

Dress after greybox navigation works
Keep player/camera paths clear
Instance repeated meshes

MUST NOT DO

Uniform clutter wallpaper
Block doors/windows without story reason
