Background¶

Purpose¶

Owns editor UI panels for configuring preview and export background appearance in Snap Studio Pro.

This territory provides user-facing controls for background styles, gradients, checkerboards, custom images, transparency, and background preset workflows while delegating background application and rendering behaviour to feature and rendering systems.

Owns¶

Background settings UI
Background style selection UI
Background preset UI
Background customization controls
Background transparency controls
Background texture assignment UI
User-facing background workflow coordination

Does NOT Own¶

Background rendering implementation
Texture generation implementation
Background application internals
Rendering pipeline implementation
Preview scene lifecycle ownership
Export orchestration

Allowed Dependencies¶

Background panels may depend on:

Background feature systems
Preview facades
Background models/settings
Shared panel helpers
Infrastructure preference systems
Unity texture/editor APIs

Background panels should avoid depending directly on:

rendering implementation systems
pipeline-specific rendering internals
low-level texture generation systems

Notes¶

Background panels are responsible for: - collecting user-facing background settings - routing setting changes - managing preset workflows - exposing visual customization controls

Background rendering and application behaviour belongs elsewhere.

The panel should coordinate background intent, not own rendering implementation.

This separation allows background rendering systems to remain reusable across preview and export workflows without embedding editor UI logic.

Future Candidates¶

Continue isolating rendering implementation from panel UI.
Keep preset handling standardized across background systems.
Avoid pushing rendering or texture-generation logic into UI panels.
Maintain lightweight and user-focused background editing workflows.
