description	Appearance and GenericVisualizer guidance for Shine Project SS14 work. Use when adding or reviewing AppearanceComponent data, GenericVisualizer YAML, sprite-layer state changes, dynamic sprites, or old visualizer ports.

SS14 Appearance Visualizers

Prefer data-driven visuals through appearance data and prototype visualizers.

Workflow

1. Open references/appearance-data-flow.md.
2. Open references/generic-visualizer-patterns.md.
3. Open references/visual-prototype-anchors.md.

Rules

• Keep visual state data explicit and networked when clients need it.
• Use AppearanceSystem.SetData from systems.
• Keep sprite state names in prototypes/data where possible.
• Put Shine visuals under _sh resource and client paths.
