+# 3D Model Contributor Guide
+
+This section explains the general 3D art requirements for NETFISHING.
+
+NETFISHING uses:
+
+- Godot 4.7.1
+- Blender for authored 3D assets
+- GLB/glTF 2.0 for model interchange
+- Compatibility renderer
+- 1 Blender unit = 1 meter
+- 1 Godot unit = 1 meter
+
+## Visual direction
+
+Models should feel:
+
+- Bright
+- Cheerful
+- Chunky
+- Slightly toy-like
+- Low-poly or moderately stylized
+- Readable from the normal gameplay camera
+- Simple enough to match assets from multiple contributors
+
+Prioritize:
+
+- Strong silhouettes
+- Exaggerated but believable proportions
+- Clear color blocking
+- Recognizable shapes
+- Clean geometry
+- Predictable origins and pivots
+
+Avoid:
+
+- Photorealism
+- Highly detailed PBR materials
+- Very thin geometry
+- Excessive bevels
+- Tiny details that disappear at gameplay distance
+- Large unique texture sets
+- Complex Blender procedural materials
+- Generative-AI-created assets
+
+## Reference palette
+
+Suggested environmental colors:
+
+- Cream sky: `#F3E3C5`
+- Seafoam highlight: `#8FD3C4`
+- Turquoise water: `#2F9E9A`
+- Deep teal: `#176F73`
+- Sunlit sand: `#D7A35F`
+- Warm dock wood: `#8A4F23`
+- Dark timber: `#4E2816`
+- Olive grass: `#A3A62A`
+- Moss green: `#6F7D19`
+- Autumn ochre: `#B77A2E`
+
+Suggested accent colors:
+
+- Fox orange: `#D94908`
+- Playful coral: `#F04F73`
+
+Use dark timber and deep teal as visual anchors.
+
+Reserve brighter orange, coral, pink, yellow, and similar colors for:
+
+- Characters
+- Interactable objects
+- Shop items
+- Bobbers
+- Signs
+- Important landmarks
+- UI accents
+
+## General asset complexity
+
+Small props should usually use:
+
+- 1–4 materials
+- A small number of readable shapes
+- No texture files unless requested
+- No collision unless requested
+
+Larger structures may use:
+
+- 2–6 materials
+- Multiple reusable parts
+- Simplified collision
+- Broader silhouette detail
+
+Do not add geometry that cannot be seen from the normal gameplay camera.
+
+## Required deliverables
+
+Unless an issue specifies otherwise, contributors should provide:
+
+- Blender source file
+- Exported GLB file
+- Blender screenshot
+- Godot screenshot at normal gameplay camera distance
+- Approximate dimensions
+- Material list
+- Collision notes
+- Link to the related issue
+
+## Originality and licensing
+
+Only submit work that you created or that is explicitly approved for the project.
+
+Do not submit:
+
+- Generative-AI-created models or textures
+- Ripped game assets
+- Copyrighted commercial assets
+- Marketplace assets without approval
+- Models copied from another project
+- Assets with unclear licensing
+
+Ask questions before beginning a large or ambiguous asset.
