Follows the vehicle-artist object split, which the first build violated: body, glass, front and rear lights, mirrors and a single wheel mesh are now separate objects and separate assets in /Game/Hollywood/Vehicle. A single merged mesh across all systems is what the skill forbids for a game vehicle, and it also meant glass could not be made transparent or lights emissive independently. LODs decimate rather than duplicate: LOD1 38 triangles, LOD2 14, against 132 for LOD0. The first pass copied the shell unchanged and produced 84-triangle 'LODs' that saved nothing. Imports verified with bounds: body 4.76 x 1.76 x 1.28 m, wheel 0.22 x 0.66 x 0.66 m, which match the modelled dimensions. Open, recorded: LOD group wiring needs StaticMeshEditorSubsystem.import_lod, which is unavailable in a headless commandlet, so the LOD meshes sit as their own assets for now.

"""Model a drivable sedan in Blender: body, wheels, collision and LOD.

Scale is metres, sourced from real sedan dimensions: 4.72 m long, 1.83 m wide,
|
|
1.44 m tall, 2.78 m wheelbase. Wheels are separate objects so Chaos can attach
|
|
PhysicsAssets-lite wheel references and so the wheel radius the vehicle config needs is
|
|
read from the mesh rather than typed in twice.
|
|
|
|
Collision is `UCX_`-prefixed convex boxes per panel group, which is what the
|
|
`collision-proxy` skill asks for and what Unreal's `ue_metric_v1` preset expects: one
|
|
hull for the body, one per wheel-less corner trimmed, and a floor slab. Simplified
|
|
hulls are deliberate — a car does not need per-panel collision for driving.
|
|
|
|
Every measurement is logged and written to the report, so the vehicle config values
|
|
(wheelbase, track, radius) can be read from the build instead of guessed.
