Complete character pipeline spike validating the Quaternius rig as foundation for The Settled Reach's 3D character system. Validated: - 65-bone skeleton + Universal Animation Library as rig foundation - Body segmentation into 15 bone-group regions with 1-ring vertex overlap - Trellis-generated heads via BoneAttachment3D - Skin tone texture generation pipeline (9 variants from source) - Toon shader + inverted hull outline at gameplay zoom - CharacterVisual class as compositor prototype Failed (documented): - Trellis clothing auto-rigging (sculptures, not garments) - Bone scaling for body type variants (catastrophic joint deformation) - Runtime per-segment clothing scaling (same failure as Blender-side) Includes: Blender pipeline scripts (segmentation, auto-rigging, Surface Deform fitting), Godot showcase with interactive controls, automated screenshot cycle, smoke tests, team reviews, and VERDICT.md. D-158 through D-164 locked. Q-060 through Q-062 opened. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>
