# Sprite Asset Template

> **Legacy (D-244).** This is the retired **object-sprite** row schema (4-direction, resolution variants). Per [D-244](../../../governance/decisions/architecture.md#d-244-asset-rendering--3d-objects-in-world-2d-limited-to-textures--flat-artwork), game objects are 3D (not sprites) and the only flat 2D content is textures + artwork — so a model / texture / artwork row template is TBD (tracked with the visual-catalog re-scope, T-961/T-1049/T-1050). This schema is kept for reference and for the 2D-artwork (paintings/flags/billboards) use of `/sprite-gen`.

## Table Row Format
