Processing Guidelines
When extracting visual entities from chapter text:
-
Identify visual effect elements:
- Magic effects described (glowing, shimmering, auras)
- Particles mentioned (sparks, smoke, dust)
- Lighting conditions (bright, dim, colorful)
- Shader-like effects (bloom, blur, distortion)
- Color descriptions (golden, crimson, azure)
-
Extract visual effect details:
- Effect types (fire, ice, lightning, shadow)
- Particle behaviors and lifetimes
- Lighting colors, intensities, sources
- Shader effects (bloom, vignette, chromatic aberration)
- Color palettes and grading
-
Analyze visual effect context:
- Magical vs natural effects
- Environmental lighting changes
- Character aura or enhancement effects
- Combat or exploration effects
-
Create schema-compliant entities with proper JSON structure
Key Considerations
- Performance: Visual effects shouldn't overwhelm performance
- Readability: Effects shouldn't obscure gameplay
- Consistency: Similar effects should look consistent
- Atmosphere: VFX enhance mood and immersion
- Magic vs tech: Different visual languages for magic vs technology
