Neon HUD Frames
===============

10 low-poly heads-up display frames for dark interfaces — deep space blue with
cyan accents. SVG plus transparent PNG at 1x, 2x and 4x.

Neon HUD Frames is a set of 10 heads-up display frames drawn in the low-poly
style, where the silhouette is an angular polygon and the face is split into
flat triangles. It contains a minimap frame with a north marker, a character
portrait frame, a compass strip, three crosshair reticles, an objective
waypoint marker and a quest tracker plate.

These are the pieces that stay on screen the whole time a game is being
played, which makes them the hardest to get right: every one of them has to be
readable over arbitrary game art without covering the middle of the screen.

Four triangles meet off-centre and each carries its own flat tone, which is
exactly how a faceted mesh shades. There are no curves anywhere in the kit and
no gradient on any facet.

Inside that style this is the Neon reading of it: a dark interface on a deep
space blue palette with cyan accents, built around four corner brackets in
place of a closed border, chamfered buttons at 144x36, hollow-cored bars
divided into 12 segments, and two-tone icons on a 32px grid. Those
measurements are why two families can share an art style without being
interchangeable: the style decides how an edge is drawn, the numbers decide
what the interface is for.

The quest plate marks a completed objective with a filled box and a
struck-through line rather than by dimming it, so the tracker stays legible
against a bright sky. The compass ticks alternate major and minor so a heading
can be read at a glance rather than counted.

Every sprite ships as an editable SVG and as transparent PNG at 1x, 2x and 4x,
so you can drop the PNGs straight into an engine or open the vector and change
a colour. Built to the same measurements as the rest of the Neon family, which
means this kit and the Neon panel kit line up without either being resized. A
good fit for low-poly games.

HOW TO USE

  - Anchor the minimap frame to a screen corner and render your map texture
    into the recessed area; the north marker is part of the frame so it stays
    fixed while the map rotates.
  - Draw the objective marker in screen space clamped to the viewport edge,
    not in world space, or it vanishes the moment the target is off camera.
  - Pick one reticle and keep it — the three are alternatives for different
    weapon feels, not a set to mix within one game.
