# NPC roster visual review — 0.9.9
|
||||
|
||||
**Status: awaiting the owner verdict on row 4.** This is the review point for the Quaternius roster
|
||||
([ADR-0017](adr/0017-quaternius-npc-base.md), [ADR-0018](adr/0018-quaternius-stage2-runtime-rig.md)).
|
||||
Four sheets: the twelve roles, two studio views, the animation poses and the crowd distance.
|
||||
|
||||
## Where the roster stands
|
||||
|
||||
The first pass was signed off **with follow-ups**; all of its findings traced to build defects and
|
||||
are fixed:
|
||||
|
||||
- **Worker bodies** (`npc_guard`, `npc_vest`, `npc_firefighter`, `npc_crowd_d`) had holes in the
|
||||
torso and an open crown because the build deleted the vest and hat materials — on the modular
|
||||
Worker the vest *is* the torso and the hat *is* the crown. Nothing is deleted any more; both are
|
||||
remapped, and the hoodie's brows, eyes and hair are transplanted onto the Worker head.
|
||||
- **Faces** had a unibrow, oversized eye quads and no mouth. They now have two brows, two eyes and
|
||||
an authored lip block on every base.
|
||||
- **Hats** are gone except the firefighter helmet (owner directive), and the performer's cone with
|
||||
them; carried props ride the hands.
|
||||
- **Hand and back gear** were authored for the old body (wrist y 0.78 → 1.017, chest 1.30 → 1.38,
|
||||
back 1.10 → 1.26). Every hand item now drops into the palm; the clipboard grips its top edge.
|
||||
Per-item numbers: [`blender-assets.md`](blender-assets.md#hand-item-fit-on-the-quaternius-rig).
|
||||
|
||||
## 1. Full-body roster (12 roles)
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
## 2. Front and profile per role
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
## 3. Animation poses (idle / sit / walk contact)
|
||||
|
||||
Driven by the real `_animate()` path with the FSM frozen: arms hang, the seated pose puts the
|
||||
forearms on the thighs with the shins down, walk contact keeps contralateral opposition.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
## 4. Crowd distance (8 m)
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
## 5. Gear on the character
|
||||
|
||||
Every piece worn by a real avatar through the runtime attach path — the sheet to judge row 4 by.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
## Signoff checklist
|
||||
|
||||
| # | Question | Verdict |
|
||||
| --- | --- | --- |
|
||||
| 1 | Do the twelve characters read as distinct people at 8 m? | ☐ yes ☐ no |
|
||||
| 2 | Is the head size right for the body? | ☐ yes ☐ no |
|
||||
| 3 | Do the faces hold up at portrait distance — brows, eyes, mouth, hair? | ☐ yes ☐ no |
|
||||
| 4 | Do the hands and hand-held items (camera, clipboard, board, baton, parcel) read correctly? | ☐ yes ☐ no |
|
||||
| 5 | Is the firefighter helmet the only head gear, and does it sit correctly? | ☐ yes ☐ no |
|
||||
| 6 | Are the role outfits believable for a Hollywood-boulevard shift? | ☐ yes ☐ no |
|
||||
| 7 | Are the seeded tint palettes acceptable? | ☐ yes ☐ no |
|
||||
| 8 | Do the seated and walking poses hold up? | ☐ yes ☐ no |
|
||||
|
||||
**Signoff:** ☐ approved as shipped ☐ approved with follow-ups ☐ rejected
|
||||
|
||||
## Still open
|
||||
|
||||
1. **Eyes have no whites** — single-colour quads on every base.
|
||||
2. **Arms still graze the torso on the `worker` base** (accepted as tolerable for now).
|
||||
3. **Roster variety is three meshes for twelve roles** — the modular part library is the fix.
|
||||
4. **The wand and phone orientation** read poorly in the gear sheet; both may need re-authoring.

Rows: the Quaternius base, the procedural library with the MakeHuman head, and a procedural crowd
|
||||
variant. Columns: front, three-quarter, profile, and the crowd-distance silhouette the player
|
||||
actually sees from 8 m.

## What the sheet shows
|
||||
|
||||
| | Head height / body | Face read at portrait | Crowd-distance read |
|
||||
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
|
||||
| Quaternius base | 0.134 | clean low-poly brows, nose, jaw, layered hair | slim, upright, clearly a person |
|
||||
| procedural + MakeHuman head | ~0.20 | oversized head, soft nose, beard slab reads as a bar | bobblehead proportions |
|
||||
| procedural crowd variant | ~0.20 | oversized head, flat cheeks | bobblehead proportions |
|
||||
|
||||
Measured (`python3 -m pytest tools/tests/test_npc_proportions.py -q`,
|
||||
`python3 tools/npc_proportions.py`):
|
||||
|
||||
- `npc_casual` (Quaternius): head 13.4 % of height, arm-down rest, 6,206 tris, 12,988 glTF
|
||||
vertices, texel density 73–74 px/m on the 256² maps.
|
||||
- The procedural library: head 16–22 % of height (the stylized band in
|
||||
`tools/npc_proportions.GUIDE`).
|
||||
|
||||
The Quaternius head is *smaller and more realistic* than the stylized library head, which is
|
||||
exactly the trade the owner has to accept or reject. The vision judge that reviewed the earlier
|
||||
head rework reads the Quaternius face as the cleaner silhouette of the three at both distances.
|
||||
|
||||
## The three options
|
||||
|
||||
1. **Full swap.** Every character rebaked onto the Quaternius base in `0.9.10`; the procedural
|
||||
library and the MakeHuman head retire to the tested fallback. Consistent look, real anatomy,
|
||||
no further head work.
|
||||
2. **Crowd only.** Quaternius for the anonymous crowd roles, procedural + MakeHuman for the named
|
||||
roles the player talks to. Keeps two art styles in one frame.
|
||||
3. **Add head detail.** Keep the Quaternius body and author a higher-detail head (subdivision and
|
||||
hair cards) inside the 24,000-triangle / 24,000-vertex budget. Most work; the current head
|
||||
already reads well at gameplay distance.
|
||||
|
||||
## Recommendation
|
||||
|
||||
Option 1. The Quaternius head beats the MakeHuman head at portrait distance in this sheet, and it
|
||||
costs no further authoring; the budget headroom (6.2k of 24k triangles) stays available for the
|
||||
hands and gear that the review still flags as weak.
|
||||
|
||||
## Recorded decision
|
||||
|
||||
Status: **option 1 (full swap) accepted by the owner, 2026-11-05.** Every roster character moves
|
||||
onto the Quaternius base; the procedural library and the MakeHuman head become the tested
|
||||
fallback. See the follow-up decision section in
|
||||
[ADR-0018](../../adr/0018-quaternius-stage2-runtime-rig.md#follow-up-decision-full-roster-swap).
|
||||
|
||||
Roster silhouettes are less varied than the procedural library until the modular part library
|
||||
(hair, outfits) is added in the `0.9.10` roster workstream — recorded rather than hidden.
