Root cause was double: (1) segment_body's apply_scale scaled fork MESH
vertices but not each segment's embedded armature — the shared-skeleton
compositor relocates segments by bone name, so internally-inconsistent
segments exploded (child worst at 0.72x: head bone 0.35m above its mesh —
detached heads, spider arms); (2) thin/heavy were stale high-poly artifacts
from an older segmentation, missing seg_hips. Fix: apply_fork_scale bakes
mesh AND embedded armature via transform_apply (edit-bone poking shears
chains — first attempt proved it); new blender_rebuild_forks.py rebuilds
exactly the five from the owned UBC Source exports. All five now 19 low-poly
segments matching the healthy six.
QA on the real compositor (idle+walk, front+side): 5/5 coherent; healthy
controls unchanged. Q-060 answered at the extremes: 15/15 peasant-garment
Surface Deform binds on the forks, zero shrinkwrap fallbacks, no
bust-through — the 6-of-11 placeholder debt is paid (fork garment variants
included). Follow-up filed: T-1094 (child/teen composite at adult height —
pre-existing shared-skeleton normalization, not a regression).

Per-body-type texture maps (BaseColor, Normal, Roughness/ORM) for all
clothing items across all body types. Adds eyebrow variants, facial
hair (beard, moustache, mutton chops), hair styles (12 variants),
and head templates. Sprint 28 character visuals pipeline output.

Body segments: face-based exclusive assignment for all 8 body types
(average/muscular/teen m/f, child) + hips segment
Hair: solidified 20mm, normals recalculated, white masks (was black)
Clothing: peasant tunic/pants/shoes solidified 25mm for all body types
Eye: iris mask from T_Eye_Split.png green channel

Segmentation:
- Face-based exclusive assignment (no overlap, no caps needed)
- Hips split from torso (pelvis as own segment)
- Torso_upper independent (spine_03 + clavicle, not a variant)
- Clavicle moved from arm_upper to torso_upper
Hair pipeline:
- Solidify modifier (20mm) for scalp hair volume
- Normal recalculation before solidify for consistent direction
- Eyebrows/facial hair NOT solidified
- Fixed mask generation (was outputting black, now white)
Clothing pipeline:
- Solidify modifier (25mm) for clothing thickness
- Peasant shoes added from Fantasy pack
Tooling:
- convert_outfit.py with solidify support
- inspect_glb.py, check_hair_symmetry.py for debugging
- Segment reference distribution locked
- Q-063 footsteps VFX filed
