{"params":{"colorway":{"type":"choice","default":"harness-brass","label":"Colorway","describe":"curated kit-coherent scheme, each carrying leather plus three distinct metals so no fitting shares a hue with the thing it holds: harness-brass is dark saddle leather in blackened-iron clamps on a brass plate, bronze rings, steel rivets and gold knuckle eyes; tan-copper a tan harness with a copper plate and near-black iron; black-steel a cold blackened set in greys with white-steel eyes; pewter-tan tan leather on pewter and iron with bright steel rivets","options":["harness-brass","tan-copper","black-steel","pewter-tan"]},"leather":{"type":"color","default":"#5A453B","label":"Rods","describe":"albedo of the leather and nothing else: the four tendon rods over their whole run, from the tail clamped on the plate to the cut end on the finger ring, so the harness can be re-dyed without touching a piece of metal. The darkest and largest single zone on the part by design \u2014 every fitting is read against it"},"iron":{"type":"color","default":"#2C3E50","label":"Ironwork","describe":"albedo of the blackened ironwork: the four anchor clamps staked over the rods' tails and the lining in the floor of each guideway cut down the plate. The part's one cool hue and deliberately its darkest, which is what gives a 1.4 mm groove a dark floor at thumbnail size and stops the clamps competing with the gold on the fingers"},"plate":{"type":"color","default":"#B8860B","label":"Back plate","describe":"albedo of the brass back plate on the back of the hand \u2014 its deck, its rails, its chamfers, the sunk panels down each land, the walls of its four guideways and the lip turned down over the hand's shoulders. The dominant metal mass and what the harness reads as from across a room"},"eye":{"type":"color","default":"#FFD700","label":"Eyes","describe":"albedo of the polished brass on the four eyes standing on the first phalanges that the rods thread through, and on nothing else on the part. The brightest zone and its accent \u2014 kept to four pieces on purpose, so the eye lands on that row first; keep whatever goes here brighter than the plate"},"band":{"type":"color","default":"#CD7F32","label":"Rings","describe":"albedo of the four faceted bands round the first phalanges, the rods' far anchors. Their own knob so the rings can be a different metal from the plate at the other end of the same rod, which is how this kit mixes brass and bronze on one object; keep them a rung darker and warmer than the eyes or the two rows merge into one at distance"},"stud":{"type":"color","default":"#A9A9A9","label":"Steel fittings","describe":"albedo of all the small bright hardware: every rivet head (down the plate's sunk panels, on the crown of each anchor clamp and through each ring collar), the sleeve ferrule where each rod leaves the plate, and the collar clamping its far end onto its ring. Steel by default and deliberately COOL, which is what leaves the four eyes the only warm-bright thing on the part"},"hand":{"type":"choice","default":"left","label":"Hand","describe":"which hand the harness is built for: right is the exact mirror, plate, guideways, eyes and rings included, so it fits a tracked right hand","affects":"geometry","options":["left","right"]},"girth":{"type":"range","default":1,"label":"Girth","describe":"the flesh thickness of the hand it is fitted to, from 0.85 a slim bony hand to 1.3 a chunky cartoon paw. NOTHING IN THIS DIMENSION REPEATS \u2014 a hand does not gain a knuckle when it gets fatter \u2014 so the harness is re-SOLVED rather than either scaled or subdivided, and the triangle count barely moves while the shape moves a great deal: the rods keep their 5.6 x 1.7 mm section, the plate its 2.4 mm slab with 1.4 mm guideways cut into it, and the eyes their casting at every value, while what changes is how far the plate's two edges stop inside the hand's own dorsal face and how far its lip turns down over the shoulder, how high its underside rides over the extensor cords, how far each eye sits past the knuckle's blend band and how big the window there lets it be, and how much wall each ring keeps where the fingers crowd it (at 1.3 the index and middle are 1.6 mm apart and the two bands thin to face each other)","affects":"geometry","min":0.85,"max":1.3,"step":0.05},"knuckles":{"type":"range","default":1,"label":"Knuckles","describe":"how bony the joints of the hand it is fitted to read, 0.3 smooth to 1.6 every joint a knob. The plate beds on the extensor cords, which stand up to 2.7 mm proud at the high end, and each rod rides its knuckle mound over the swell rather than biting into it, so a bonier hand lifts the whole harness and thickens the eyes' flanks rather than being cut by them","affects":"geometry","min":0.3,"max":1.6,"step":0.1},"reach":{"type":"range","default":1,"label":"Reach","describe":"how far back toward the wrist the anchor plate is set, and so how long every rod is: 0.75 pulls the plate up behind the knuckles, a 32 mm deck with its four clamps crowded onto the front of the metacarpals; 1.0 the reference, a 42 mm deck reaching the middle of the back of the hand; 1.25 sets it back toward the metacarpal bases, a 53 mm deck with a long open run of leather down each guideway. The rods REBUILD at the new length \u2014 the run gains a station every 6 mm behind the knuckle and the guideways are re-cut with the plate \u2014 so the triangle count moves with this knob; the plate slab, the clamps, the eyes and the rings are the same stock at every value","affects":"geometry","min":0.75,"max":1.25,"step":0.02},"rods":{"type":"choice","default":"four","label":"Rods","describe":"how many fingers the harness carries, always counted from the index outward, and the plate is rebuilt to exactly the rods it has: four is the reference, a full harness spanning the whole back of the hand with a guideway, an eye and a ring per finger; three drops the pinky, which narrows the plate by about 14 mm and takes its nose off the outermost knuckle; two is an index-and-middle harness on a narrow plate down the centre of the hand, which leaves the ring and pinky bare for another kit part","affects":"geometry","options":["four","three","two"]},"width":{"type":"range","default":0.0056,"label":"Rod width","describe":"the leather rods' width in metres, and with it the guideways cut for them, the anchor clamps, the ferrules and the bore of every knuckle eye, all of which are cut to fit: 0.0044 is fine cord that leaves the plate's deck mostly bare between the grooves, 0.0056 the reference (a little over a quarter of a finger's width), 0.0064 a broad harness strap that fills its guideway and crowds the eyes. The rod keeps its 1.7 mm thickness and its 1.4 mm standoff at every value, so this is the rods' proportion, not their scale","affects":"geometry","min":0.0044,"max":0.0064,"step":0.0002}},"presets":{"harness-brass":{"leather":"#5A453B","iron":"#2C3E50","plate":"#B8860B","band":"#CD7F32","stud":"#A9A9A9","eye":"#FFD700"},"tan-copper":{"leather":"#9C6644","iron":"#2C3E50","plate":"#C04000","band":"#CD7F32","stud":"#7F7F7F","eye":"#FFD700"},"black-steel":{"leather":"#4D4D4D","iron":"#2C3E50","plate":"#A9A9A9","band":"#E1E1E1","stud":"#7F7F7F","eye":"#F4F4F4"},"pewter-tan":{"leather":"#9C6644","iron":"#4F5D75","plate":"#7F7F7F","band":"#A9A9A9","stud":"#E1E1E1","eye":"#FFD700"}},"rev":1792408797,"materials":{"leather":{"kind":"leather","finish":"grain"},"iron":{"kind":"metal","finish":"cast"},"plate":{"kind":"metal","finish":"satin"},"eye":{"kind":"metal","finish":"polished"},"band":{"kind":"metal","finish":"satin"},"stud":{"kind":"metal","finish":"satin"}},"materials_note":"what each colour zone is made of: `kind` and `finish` name a procedural PBR material in https://polyfork.dev/materials.mjs (dressByAlbedo finds a zone by its albedo in COLOR_0).
