Procedural Geometry

Generate geometry from a semantic plan and an explicit coordinate frame. Triangle emission is the final compilation step, not the design model.

Build order

1. Define dimensions and semantic segments.
2. Generate a centerline, boundary, profile, or placement plan.
3. Build the mechanism-appropriate local parameterization or branch orientation.
4. Emit vertices with intentional seams and material ownership.
5. Generate UVs from real distance.
6. Validate winding, normals, tangents, bounds, and degenerates.
7. Select merging, instancing, or LOD by update and material behavior.

Read references/profile-sweeps-and-mesh-writers.md for the exact sculpted-frame profile, rail emission, tree rings, semantic mesh writer, and their observed scaling limits.

Read the sculpted gallery frame geometry for the profile sweep, miter-like rail mapping, authored PBR surface bundles, grazing spotlights, selective bloom ownership, and geometry diagnostics.

Read the procedural financial tower compiler for semantic placement compilation and material-slot instancing at building scale.

Failure conditions

• profile orientation flips along a curve;
• caps reuse side vertices and create averaged edge normals;
• UV scale changes with segment count;
• arbitrary vertex merging destroys hard edges or material boundaries;
• generated dimensions are hidden in magic multipliers;
• instancing is used despite per-instance topology differences;
• triangle count is the only reported complexity metric.

Routing boundary

This skill owns reusable mesh emission. Use $threejs-procedural-architecture for a building grammar and $threejs-procedural-vegetation for a growth hierarchy; those subject skills may then apply these geometry mechanisms.
