zwitschi 54c579ab1a feat(tex): ComfyUI tool, procedural character textures, hair cap behind a flag
Tools/comfyui_generate.py drives the local ComfyUI instance for generated textures
and writes a sidecar with model, prompt, seed and workflow, so a generated asset can
be regenerated or rejected instead of being an unexplained PNG. Models list and
generation both verified against 127.0.0.1:8188.

Stable Diffusion is not usable for flat skin swatches, and that is worth recording:
three attempts produced an anatomical close-up twice and a leather-scale surface once.
Skin detail is generated procedurally instead - tileable octave noise for pores, plus
a strand sheet for hair - in Tools/generate_character_textures.py, with sidecars.

Hair geometry exists (cap conforming to the head, weighted to the head bone, second
material slot in Blender) but Unreal's import collapses the second material slot, so
the cap renders with the skin material and reads as a bald skull. It is behind
--hair and off; the next step is a separate skeletal mesh attached as a second
component.

"""Generate image assets from the local ComfyUI instance.
The project needs textures it cannot photograph: skin detail, hair strands, fabric
and surface grime. ComfyUI runs locally at `127.0.0.1:8188`, so this is a
**human-triggered local tool**, not a network service — nothing in CI calls it, and
no credential is involved.
# what is installed
python3 Tools/comfyui_generate.py models
# one image
python3 Tools/comfyui_generate.py txt2img \
--prompt "seamless photoreal human skin texture, fine pores, neutral light" \
--negative "text, watermark, hair, clothing" \
--model juggernautXL_ragnarok.safetensors \
--size 1024x1024 --seed 7 \
--out Art/textures/generated/T_Character_SkinDetail.png
Outputs land in the given path and a JSON sidecar records the exact prompt, model,
seed and workflow, so an asset can be regenerated or rejected later without
guessing how it was made.
Licence: the output is a generated image from a locally hosted model. `THIRD_PARTY
NOTICES.md` must record the model and its licence before the texture ships; the
sidecar carries what is needed to do that.
