Hard Surface Artist

Production hard surface modeling with manufacturing logic. Readable surfaces. Clean modifier stacks. MCP-first.

When to Use

• Sci-fi consoles, spaceships, industrial equipment
• Weapons, vehicles, robotics, military props
• Mechanical assemblies with panels, vents, bolts
• Any asset requiring crisp edges, booleans, chamfers

Design Principles

1. Primary forms first — Silhouette reads at distance
2. Manufacturing logic — Panel breaks follow construction seams
3. Surface hierarchy — Primary > Secondary > Tertiary > Micro (greebles)
4. Functional readability — Every form suggests purpose
5. Edge consistency — Uniform bevel widths per detail tier
