jpmschweitzerandClaude Fable 5 b54b8189d9 fix(assets): T-1090 — five fork bodies rebuilt; mesh+armature scale baked together
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).

<input.gltf> <output_dir> [--scale sx sy sz]
Segments a Quaternius FullBody GLTF into 18 production GLBs:
seg_head, seg_neck, seg_torso, seg_torso_upper,
seg_arm_upper_l/r, seg_arm_lower_l/r, seg_hand_l/r,
seg_leg_upper_l/r, seg_leg_lower_l/r, seg_foot_l/r,
seg_eyes, seg_eyebrows
Each segment contains the vertices primarily weighted to its bone group
plus 1-ring boundary overlap for seam-free deformation.
Optional --scale sx sy sz applies a vertex-level scale to the mesh before
segmentation (for fork body types: thin, heavy, child).
Outputs: <output_dir>/seg_{name}.glb (18 files total)
Design: D-160 (18 segments per body type), D-164 (Source .blends as starting point)

Scale a fork body (thin/heavy/child) so mesh AND armature stay CONSISTENT.
This is the load-bearing fix for fork body types (T-1090). The segment GLBs
are reparented onto a single SHARED skeleton at runtime (character_visual.gd
loads skeleton/armature.glb and drives all segments by bone name). A segment
composites coherently ONLY if its mesh matches its own embedded armature's
rest pose — the shared skeleton then relocates the whole segment as a rigid
unit (this is why the pristine-rig teen body composites fine despite a very
different rig; see the T-1090 report).
The previous behaviour scaled mesh vertices ALONE, leaving the armature at
source scale: the head mesh dropped ~0.35 m below the Head bone, limbs flung
apart on relocation — the "detached head / spider arms" misrender.
The scale must be BAKED by Blender via object transform_apply, NOT by poking
edit-bone head/tail directly: manual head/tail edits do not recompute bone
roll or honour connected-chain constraints, so long chains (arm→hand→fingers,
neck→head) accumulate error and still explode. transform_apply rebuilds the
bone matrices correctly.
Method: de-parent meshes (keep transform) so mesh and armature are
independent objects sharing the world origin, give each the SAME object
scale, then apply. Identical affine about the same origin → mesh verts and
bone rest move together; the Armature modifier + vertex groups re-derive a
consistent bind, which the glTF exporter bakes into the inverse-bind
matrices.
