Synty Polygon Fantasy Rivals

Terminology

SM_Chr — Static mesh character prefab
SM_Wep — Static mesh weapon prefab
SM_Prop — Static mesh prop prefab
SM_Base — Display/arena base prefab
FX — Particle effect prefab
FantasyRivals_01/02/03/04 — Atlas texture sheets (A/B/C/D color variants each)

Skill Purpose

Reference for the Synty PolygonFantasyRivals package (77 prefabs). Contains 20 fantasy boss/creature characters with unique weapons, display base platforms, decorative props, and magic FX. Each character comes with a matching weapon prefab. No environment assets — use synty-polygon-generic or synty-polygon-knights for terrain/buildings.

Using magic/fire FX for combat effects
Setting up character display bases (dirt, grass, rock, dungeon, mechanical)
Referencing character-matched weapons in code or Baker
Asking about PolygonFantasyRivals material variants or color palettes

Materials

4 atlas sheets × 4 color variants (A/B/C/D):

Assets/Synty/PolygonFantasyRivals/Materials/
  FantasyRivals_01_A.mat  FantasyRivals_01_B.mat  FantasyRivals_01_C.mat  FantasyRivals_01_D.mat
  FantasyRivals_02_A.mat  FantasyRivals_03_A.mat  FantasyRivals_04_A.mat  ...

All characters use atlas-based single materials — supports MaterialPropertyBlock tinting for team colors.

DOTS / ECS Usage Notes

Characters are static meshes (no Animator, no SkinnedMeshRenderer) — safe for ECS baking with RenderMeshArray
Add RenderMeshAuthoring (or custom Baker) — MeshFilter + MeshRenderer → RenderMeshArray + MaterialMeshInfo
Characters have no MeshCollider by default — add PhysicsShapeAuthoring (box/capsule) in Baker for physics
FX prefabs contain ParticleSystem — not ECS-compatible; manage separately as GameObjects or use ECS visual effects
Display bases (SM_Base_*) work as static ECS obstacles with PhysicsBodyAuthoring (static)

Gotchas

URP material conversion required: Synty ships Built-in RP materials. Must convert to URP via Edit > Rendering > Materials > Convert or they render pink
No environment assets: This pack has zero terrain/building prefabs — must combine with synty-polygon-generic or synty-polygon-knights for scenes
Atlas color variants (A/B/C/D): Swapping variant at runtime requires material reassignment, not property change — each variant is a separate texture atlas
