Overlays¶

Purpose¶

Owns overlay rendering workflows used during preview and export operations.

This territory is responsible for drawing text/logo overlays and compositing watermark-style overlay content onto exported textures without owning export orchestration or rendering pipeline implementation.

Owns¶

• Overlay rendering workflows
• Text overlay drawing
• Logo overlay drawing
• Watermark compositing
• Overlay positioning logic
• Overlay visual effects (outline/shadow)

Does NOT Own¶

• Export orchestration
• Preview scene lifecycle ownership
• Rendering pipeline implementation
• Panel UI layout ownership
• File export workflows
• Background rendering implementation

Allowed Dependencies¶

Overlays may depend on:

• Models
• Unity GUI/rendering APIs
• Texture compositing helpers

Overlays should avoid depending on:

• preview orchestration systems
• export planning systems
• rendering pipeline systems
• panel orchestration systems

Notes¶

This folder exists to isolate overlay-specific rendering behaviour from broader capture/export workflows.

Overlays own: - how overlays visually render - how watermark compositing behaves - overlay positioning calculations - overlay visual styling

Export and Capture systems decide: - when overlays are applied - which overlays should render - how final output workflows proceed

The goal is reusable overlay behaviour without coupling overlays directly to export orchestration.

Future Candidates¶

• Continue isolating overlay rendering from export workflow orchestration.
• Avoid allowing panel/UI orchestration into overlay systems.
• Maintain reusable overlay compositing behaviour across capture workflows.
