The bpy.ops.export_scene.fbx argument block was duplicated in six scripts (hero,
block frontage, north buildings, site, scale test, MPFB character) and all six
carried mesh_smooth_type="OFF", which drops smoothing groups and made every
Unreal import warn and every round part faceted.
Tools/fbx_export_preset.py now owns the presets:
- preset_kwargs(preset, selection, **overrides) is bpy-free and unit-tested;
- export_static()/export_character() are thin wrappers that import bpy lazily;
- ue_metric_v1 and ue_character_v1 keep the recorded scale contract
(FBX_SCALE_NONE, apply_unit_scale, -Y forward / Z up) and use FACE smoothing.
Callers switched: hero_facade_build, export_block_frontage, export_north_buildings,
scale_test_export, mpfb_character_export, Art/blender/site/export_site_fbx.
Verified by re-exporting every asset through the preset and re-importing all of
them: 0 smoothing warnings on site, frontage and north buildings; packaging and
-qaselftest all PASS (walk, transect 0 holes, wall probe 0/35, facade probe 0/9).
49 tool tests pass (9 new for the preset contract).
- mpfb_character_export.py: new --pose idle folds the A/T-bind arms down to
a relaxed standing rest pose (baked via pose.armature_apply before export);
new make_diffuse synthesizes a warm skin-tone diffuse with a darker
shorts-suggestive band, replacing the Cycles v2-skin bake that came out
black and was slow at 1024^2.
- write_png now encodes from img.pixels via numpy (fast) because img.save()
writes black for an in-memory image.
- Re-exported idle character, re-imported to /Game/Test/Character (138 bones,
warm M_Character_Export/T_Character_Diffuse); removed stale T_Skin_Diffuse.
- Untracked the review PNGs again: the Screenshots/ gitignore rule had been
dropped and the parallel session had committed the PNGs, against the
AGENTS.md 'never commit the PNGs' rule. Restored the ignore rule; only
Screenshots/README.md stays tracked.
- README/roadmap/memory updated; review-01-character re-pended for approval.
