Artist Workflow Overview

For artists, technical artists, and non-programmers, this page is the handoff from the sample scene into real asset iteration.

Visual captures for the artist lane are still pending, so this page keeps the workflow text-first for now.

Recommended Order

1. Confirm the editor path and sample scene still work from First Run.
2. Bring in a real asset with the canonical Gaussian Splat Asset Import Workflow.
3. Use Performance Presets before touching advanced knobs.
4. Move into Gaussian Splat Artist Pipeline when you need brush tools, hot reload, or bake actions.
5. Use Color Grading Quick Start when the scene is readable and you are tuning look, not import correctness.

Core Task Pages

• Concepts for pipeline vocabulary and shared terms.
• Workflow Details for secondary workflow groupings after you already know the job.
• Gaussian Splat Asset Import Workflow for importing .ply and .spz assets.
• Gaussian Splat Artist Pipeline for inspector tools, hot reload, and bake-oriented editing.
• Performance Presets for the first safe quality/speed decision.
• Recurring Issues when import or viewport behavior is off.

Technical Flow Reference

The artist lane starts only after First Run is already working, then moves through import, safe preset selection, iteration tools, and finishing tasks like bake or color grading.
