Hide the tourist photo-pose bag outside camera poses, flatten the backpack straps onto the chest, rebuild the gear GLB/AO and publish the before/after NPC sheet.
- Add a review harness that stages all eight library characters at portrait, conversation and crowd distance on both maps in day and night.
- Fix the final-context lanyard badge and firefighter helmet fit with runtime attach offsets; the asset-space gear contract is unchanged.
- Record the gate sign-off, refresh the gallery, and move the completed review to DONE.
The Python fit test now caps the glasses at 0.70x head width and requires a
positive bag clearance on both the coat and dress. The Godot character suite
loads head/back gear on six roles and checks attach parents, head width and
brow bounds, and that back gear reaches beyond the 0.26 m body silhouette.
Rebuilt and re-baked all 18 gear assets; no-op GLB export churn was reverted.
Headless 229/229, Python 87/87.
Phase 4 of the v0.6.0 graphics plan:
- tools/bake_ao.py bakes 256² AO maps for every Blender character/gear/prop
(Cycles, existing UVs) next to each GLB; Materials.apply_ao() wires the red
channel into character slots, gear, and props. Compatibility has no SSAO.
- Regenerated brick/concrete/asphalt at 1024² with OpenRouter, derived tangent
normal maps via tools/make_normal_maps.py, and wired them through
SurfaceMaterials.textured() without changing UV scales.
- Evaluated Forward+: boots on desktop Vulkan, but the renderer is project-wide
and Web must stay GL Compatibility; v0.6.0 keeps Compatibility (decision in
MEMORY/plan). A desktop-only override is deferred.
- Recaptured screenshots; compare 11 good / 0 bad. Fixed marquee text alignment.
- Tests: baked AO maps exist for all 46 assets; prop/character AO material
checks; headless 222/222, Python 69/69, all smokes pass.
- Version 0.6.0; ADR-0013 accepted; README/architecture/blender-assets/plan and
TODO/DONE updated.
NpcAvatar
- select one of 8 library character variants by role/seed (with npc_base and the
procedural rig as fallbacks), keep Rig/Head and the existing bone animation
- tint only skin/cloth/pants/accessory/hair; fixed detail materials keep their
colour, npc_vest keeps its hi-vis vest, firefighter/guard use dark uniform tints
- attach caps, hoods, helmets, backpacks, SCBA tanks, lanyards and hand items at
the documented head/back/chest/hand points (primitive fallbacks retained)
WorldBuilder
- prefer assets/models/blender/props/ for the six replacements and the new
street dressing (street lamp/tree, palms, planters, A-frame, cone, barrier,
stanchion, podium, handrail, wall lantern, double door, marquee, sedan)
- fit the same colliders/navigation obstacles and keep the placement validator;
collect library emissives (bulbs, marquee face, wall lanterns, door LED, sedan
lights) for set_night_mode()
- add a library triangle counter + 60k budget check (current ~27,986); toggle
prop gallery to the library models; fix the marquee label placement
Tests/smoke
- character selection/gear attach/fixed-material tint tests; library prop load,
emissive and triangle-budget tests; smoke_props routes a guest around a
stanchion in open sidewalk (the old bench route is now crowded by trees)
- headless 222/222, Python 68/68, all smokes pass, compare 11 good / 0 bad
Docs: TODO Phase 3.5 moved to DONE, README/architecture/blender-assets/plan
describe the integrated runtime, MEMORY records the integration rules.
Wire the skinned model from ADR-0013 into NpcAvatar:
- _build_skinned_body() instantiates the imported npc_base.glb, binds the 14
armature bones, and keeps the procedural _build_body() as the offline
fallback (use_skinned_model can force it in tests)
- outfit_for()/layer_for() tint the five material slots through the new
SurfaceMaterials.npc_slot(); accessories and hand items attach under Rig/Head
- the existing limb pivots (Hip/Knee/Shoulder/Elbow/Hand + Head marker) keep the
old animation math; _sync_skeleton() copies their rotations to bones. Bone
pose rotation is absolute local orientation, so it is composed with the rest
basis (otherwise the whole body snaps into a broken pose)
- skinned rigs scale uniformly (non-uniform parent scale shears the skin) and
keep Rig/Head for the focus cone, nametag, and reaction tag
- commit the editable npc_base.blend plus a .gdignore: Godot's editor otherwise
tries to import the blend and hangs during --import
- npc_pipeline audit tests (contract, textures, clean GLB, committed source)
Verification: headless 212/212, Python tooling 60/60, NPC budget 16 avatars =
144 meshes at ~6.9 ms, movement/focus/props smokes pass, compare 11 good / 0 bad.
TODO Phases 0-3 checked; environment lift and release remain.
Avatars called Godot's look_at(), which points the node's -Z axis at the target,
but the rig's face (eyes/brows/mouth/focus disc, and the Blender successor) is on
+Z. Every walking NPC therefore faced away from its movement direction.
- add the pure yaw_towards(direction) helper (+Z forward) and use it in both
movement paths and the reaction face-turn
- fix the head-turn offset to the same +Z convention (basis.z)
- test +Z/+X/-Z/arbitrary directions; recapture targeting screenshot
- TODO bug item moved to DONE, MEMORY records the convention
Headless 209/209.
NPC characters
- Articulated rig (hips/knees, shoulders/elbows/hands) replaces rigid capsules;
the walk cycle bends knees and elbows and flees with a longer stride.
- Layered outfits (jacket/vest/coat/dress), extended accessories and hand items
(bag, umbrella, phone, camera, clipboard, cup), face details and five hair
silhouettes, all deterministic per profile seed.
- Idle behaviour layers (phone, clipboard, crossed arms, look-around), breathing
and weight shift; escalation raises hands or points, and noticed NPCs turn
toward the guard.
- Reaction symbols above the head (!!, ?!, !, ?), door-queue offsets assigned by
GameManager, three LOD tiers with hysteresis and a billboard impostor.
- smoke_npc_budget.gd: 16 avatars = 534 meshes, ~6.9 ms average (50 ms budget).
Player movement
- Separate accel/decel, step-up assist for kerbs and the entrance steps, and a
forward-axis fix: W was inverted (get_axis(forward, back) is negative).
- Head bob, landing dip and precision-walk FOV, gated by persisted head-bob and
invert-Y settings; precision chip and tick; surface-aware footsteps and a
landing cue forwarded to AudioFeedback.
- Gamepad support (sticks, deadzone, face buttons, bumpers), a control legend
that follows the active device, and named actions for the remaining keys.
- Key/button remapping in Settings, persisted as input_bindings and applied by
InputBindings (mouse and gamepad axes are never removed).
- smoke_movement.gd (windowed): climbs the steps, checks precision speed, chip,
footsteps and landing; new 11-precision-walk capture and catalogue entry.
Verification: headless 208/208, Python tooling 56/56, all 11 smokes pass,
compare 11 good / 0 bad, movement judge match. Version 0.5.0. Only optional
Future ideas remain in TODO.
