Solidify thickness went from 1 cm to 2 cm and the shell is fattened 8 mm along its own
normals afterwards. That closed the shoulders, hips and knees where the body was
showing through the cloth.
Evaluation against the blueprint, same shot and box before and after:
mean deltaE 31.9 -> 21.8
palette deltaE 25.4 -> 19.7
aspect delta 1.24 -> 1.22
Also fixes a crash I introduced: binding the materials in Tick used
ConstructorHelpers::FObjectFinder, which is fatal outside a constructor - the game died
with 'FObjectFinders can't be used outside of constructors' and the render run failed
with signal 11. The binding now lives in BeginPlay and uses LoadObject.
Not fixed, and recorded: the arms and face still render neutral grey, so
M_Character_Skin itself is suspect rather than the assignment.
Two tools that turn character work into something measurable.
- Tools/comfyui_character_blueprint.py generates a four-view sheet (front, side, back,
head) plus a contact sheet from one description, with fixed seeds and a JSON record
of prompts and prompt ids. First sheet: 'GigLine walker', lean pedestrian in a navy
tee, jeans and sneakers.
- Tools/character_match.py compares a rendered character against a sheet: figure
aspect, fill and coverage deltas, mean CIE76 colour distance, dominant-palette
distance, and a side-by-side montage. The deltas stay separate on purpose - a single
similarity score between a photoreal sheet and a low-detail body would be a number
with no meaning.
- comfyui_generate.py grew wait_for_image() so both tools share the polling path
instead of duplicating it.
- 13 unit tests for the colour maths, masks and palette; 95 tool tests pass.
First real result, recorded rather than smoothed over: aspect delta 1.24, fill delta
0.12, mean deltaE 31.9, palette deltaE 25.4. The montage shows the reason - the model
is a nude body and the blueprint wears a tee and jeans, so clothing dominates every
metric. Figure segmentation is explicit (--render-box): auto-detection picked backdrop
blobs on every attempt, and a background plate is the proper fix.
