Fantasy Worlds

Pick fantasy subgenre and keep material language consistent.

Subgenres

Medieval low-magic · High fantasy · Dark fantasy · Urban fantasy

Tenets

1. Material honesty (wood/stone/leather/magic emissive rules)
2. Silhouette heraldry readable
3. Magic FX gated by vfx-fx
4. Architecture matches tech level

Recipe

Look: warm, material-honest fantasy. Medieval low-magic = golden hour, matte wood/stone (roughness 0.7-0.9), no emission; high fantasy = saturated, soft bloom; dark fantasy = moonlight, desaturated, grimy; magic is the only emissive (strength 2-5).
