  Use this optional Narova companion when creating, directing, or repairing an
  authored 3D video whose principal subjects, world, asset path, spatial design,
  materials, lighting, camera, interaction, or inspection need specialist
  judgment. Use for abstract or realistic 3D, recognizable or articulated
  subjects, layered environments, mechanisms, camera-led scenes, and mixed
  2D/3D where authored 3D has an intentional role. Do not use it merely because
  a request says animation, cinematic, explainer, product video, Three.js, or
  render; ordinary 2D motion, browser walkthroughs, AI-generated clips, and
  direct render commands remain core Narova work.

# Narova 3D Production

Add a small expert lens to authored 3D work. Keep the `narova` skill in charge
of project authoring, assets, deterministic motion, rendering, review, release,
and delivery. This companion adds no renderer, physics engine, command, schema,
provider, dependency, or second workflow.

## Direct lightly

1. **Give 3D a job.** State what authored 3D lets the viewer perceive that a
   simpler or different medium would not. If it adds no material value, use the
   better Narova path and stop using this companion.
2. **Choose what the audience will receive.** Decide what the viewer should
   notice, understand, or feel, then choose intentional final forms for the
   principal subjects and world. A primitive, model, captured or generated
   element, and mixed composite are all valid. Do not silently turn a blockout
   or cheapest available shape into the final representation.
3. **Route the material risk.** Choose at most the one or two areas most likely
   to weaken the idea and read only their references:
   - read [subjects and assets](references/subjects-and-assets.md) when final
     representation, acquisition/generation, model readiness, rigging,
     animation, rights, or a missing production capability matters;
   - read [scene direction](references/scene-direction.md) when space,
     appearance, staging, camera, visibility, interaction, or compositing is
     uncertain; and
   - read [inspection](references/inspection.md) when the visual premise,
     movement, structured state, evidence limits, or a stop decision matters.
   A straightforward scene may need none. Do not perform a full-manual pass.
4. **Prove before scaling.** For risky work, show one delivery-scale visual
   target without its rationale. If motion or interaction carries the idea,
   next show a short sample using that accepted representation. Expand only a
   premise that reads from the artifact itself.
5. **Finish through core Narova.** Use available specialist capabilities only
   when the chosen form needs them, then hand assets, deterministic motion,
   rendering, review, release, and delivery to the ordinary Narova lifecycle.

## Keep confidence honest

Connect decisions to what was rendered or otherwise inspected. Keep factual
checks separate from perceptual judgment. Do not give the perceptual reviewer
the author's plan, symbol mapping, or run report. Treat an automated visual
critic as advice until it has agreed with independent owner judgments on this
kind of work. Render success does not prove recognition, collision, physical
simulation, target visibility, taste, or hidden scene state.

If the chosen form needs sourcing, generation, refinement, rigging, animation,
simulation, or inspection that no available capability supplies, change the
form with the user, name the gap, or stop. Never pretend this skill's prose
performed that operation.

## Preserve creative range

Do not default the work to a palette, realism level, low-poly language, material
system, lighting rig, camera move, shot list, density, pacing, duration,
narration, caption style, transition, platform, or aspect ratio. Minimal and
rich scenes, graphic abstraction and articulated realism are all valid when
intentional. Use hard constraints only where user intent, compatibility,
evidence, or visible correctness would otherwise break.
