Procedural visuals should be deterministic enough to review and inspectable enough to tune. Seed, bounds, density, and resource ownership are production fields, not decoration.

Node families

• Generated node categories include procedural, distribution, paths, solvers, effects, attributes, and bundles.
• Geometry authoring uses curve, point-buffer, surface, mesh, attribute, deformation, copy-to-points, SDF, and inspection nodes.
• Use inspection nodes and debug outputs before rendering generated resources into a final scene.

Authoring rules

• Separate generation parameters from presentation parameters: density, bounds, seed, scale, color, falloff, speed, and amplitude should be individually tunable.
• Prefer named seeds or stable random inputs when the art direction must be repeatable.
• Keep bounds visible during development so generated resources do not drift offscreen.

Publish checks

• Check blank frames, exploded values, offscreen generated points, and performance at the largest expected viewport.
• Use lower density or gated branches where smaller viewports cannot show the detail.
• Document any accepted warnings near the source plan for future maintainers.

Verified runnable example

This guide points to proof-backed sample coverage. The full ledger lives in Generated examples and proof log.

Canvas: Fill rule diagnostic

• Source: faster-motion/demo/tests/canvas/fillrule-diagnostic/fillrule-diagnostic.fmtion
• Expected output: A contained Canvas scene renders paired path cases so nonzero and evenodd fill handling can be compared visually.
• Validation: Schema validation passed. Runtime proof reports zero blocking runtime issues and 10 rendered objects; the accepted metadata note is preserved in the proof ledger.
• Desktop proof: generated-assets/faster-motion-docs/proofs/screenshots/canvas-fillrule-diagnostic-desktop.png
• Mobile proof: generated-assets/faster-motion-docs/proofs/screenshots/canvas-fillrule-diagnostic-mobile.png

Guide-specific sample target: Procedural field sample with seed, density, bounds overlay, inspection report, and multiple captured frames.
