Clay (plasticine) style, in testing: soft 3D pieces lit from the top left with fingerprints, tool marks, a waxy sheen and soft shadows, stop motion on twos with a surface that boils. Use it when asked for claymation, plasticine, stop motion, soft 3D, a warm «handmade 3D» look or when working with styles/clay/.

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

What the file says

# Style · Clay

Status: **in testing** (style test: `sandbox/2026-09-24-fube-clay/`, the saas-promo invoice
block redone in clay; review/sheet.jpg, render/fube-clay.mp4).

## Code

`styles/clay/clay.js` → global `Clay`. Every piece is a flat silhouette turned into clay
once and cached per resolution (base colour → speckle, tool marks, fingerprints → volume
gradient → bevel from the blurred inverse silhouette → sheen → trimmed), plus the soft
shadow it casts.

- `Clay.draw(g, key, shape, color, o)`: shape = points (closed outline) or `{ box, fn(ctx) }`
  (text, several blobs, `evenodd` holes). `o`: `bevel`, `soft`, `shine`, `prints`, `marks`,
  `speckle`, `volume`, `light`, `shadow` (0–1 or false), `shadowBlur`, `shadowOffset`,
  `variant` (a boil drawing). The key names the piece: same key, same cached look.
- Outlines: `lumpy(pts, seed, amt)` (Catmull-Rom with hand-made lumps), `ellipse`,
  `roundRect`, `capsule(line, r | [r0, r1])` (a sausage: arms, fingers, pens, ticks),
  `bean(cx, cy, w, h, seed)`.
- `Clay.shadow(g, x, y, rx, ry, a)`: a soft contact shadow on the set.
- `Clay.text(g, key, str, x, y, size, color, o)`: clay letters; pop titles letter by letter

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add illodev/drawn-by-code/style-clay@sha256:1219d3b04e5e53d0

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260924.2750f88, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
