MOTION (§41.1). The clip library goes 8 -> 46: ten idles, eight browse, eight sit/lean, eight social, six locomotion, six venue, in SIX grouped GLBs (one fetch each), 3.35 MB — LESS than the 4.29 MB the old eight cost, via lossless dedup + int16 rotations (worst error 0.0034 deg). All six verified skeleton-only (tris 0, meshes 0, nodes 66): ZERO DRAW, which is what makes this round affordable. No retarget was run and none was wanted — the bank and the peds are the same mixamorig skeleton, so retargeting would add error AND bake the ped mesh into the clip, ending zero-draw. MIRPAMO 'make smoke' green to prove the tool, then deliberately unused. Three seeds in the brief were duds and got substituted: the whole *_Degree_Turn set is RIFLE-AIMING, and two 'examine' clips are 262 KB static poses, not motion. R16 flat-body trap re-checked on all 46 (spine tilt 24 samples/clip, 0 frames >75 deg); turn_in_place auto-demoted from loopable on a 36.7 deg seam. RULING 1 — the Bandai hazard, closed non-destructively and better than specified. 3,077 CC BY-NC clips sat unzoned in a neutrally-named path. Renamed PER FILE (3,077/3,077) not just the directory, because mirpamo names output <rig>@<clip>.glb — the _NC-research marker now PROPAGATES into any retargeted GLB automatically. Nothing deleted; ultra's red/bandai re-verified as canonical. Ledger corrected: the manifest claimed CC-BY-NC-ND, the bundled licence text says CC BY-NC, no ND. PROPS (§41.2). 110 assets from three libraries, published, sha1-verified, 0 validator errors both modes. THE FINDING: every handover number was a TRIANGLE count, and triangles were never the binding constraint — DRAW CALLS were. As handed over this cargo cost 14,140 draws against a 162-draw margin; it ships at 117. '3dstore passes as-is' was true on tris/metres/ Draco/textures and FALSE on draws — 30 of 46 files carried up to 16 materials on one mesh (one per record sleeve), so a 1,020-tri tub cost 16 draws; baked to COLOR_0, 288 -> 40, zero tri drift, A/B identical. dj-gear's own manifest claimed median 6,288 tris / 18 under budget; measured 51,528 and 12, with draws to 2,145. Pub props were NOT metre-correct (every source unit-normalised to max dim 1.00 m) and 40x decimation was impossible as specified (loungeChair is 94% non-manifold). Ruling 5 vs the draw budget was a real conflict (one mixer = 4.6x a whole room); resolved by joining SCENERY selectively while every control node keeps its object/name/pivot — verified by parsing the SHIPPED GLB, not the tool that wrote it: PASS 4 / STATIC 10 / N/A 17 / FAIL 0. deck_1200_rigged = 5 draws with Platter_SPIN, Arm_YAW, Fader_PITCH, Btn_STARTSTOP intact. The R40 four-surface transmission gate FIRED ON LIVE CARGO: 5 genuinely transmissive materials (cartridge dust-covers, a mixer meter window) that would each have doubled every opaque draw in the room. 9 assets rejected on eyeball after decimation rather than shipping mush. Two existing-tooling bugs fixed: normalize.py's yaw/up were silent no-ops (the jukebox exported 0.40 m instead of 0.97 m), and footprints now measure the shipped GLB.

PROCITY pipeline (Lane E) — how to re-run everything
The asset pipeline: audit ultra's library → normalize the good bits to house GLB law → publish
to the 3GOD depot → ship web/assets/manifest.json (the contract Lanes B/C/D read) → fill facade
- prop gaps. Everything is optional at runtime — the game runs asset-free; this lane makes it gorgeous, it doesn't make it work.
Where things live
| what | where |
|---|---|
| ultra (library + Blender) | ssh johnking@100.91.239.7 — key auth, no coreutils/timeout, py3.9, Blender at /Applications/Blender.app/Contents/MacOS/Blender (not on PATH) |
| model library | ultra ~/Documents/3D=models/{shop-fittings,street-furniture,furniture,props-scenes} |
| 3GOD depot | https://digalot.fyi/3god — GET /a/<f>, GET /api/list, POST /api/upload?name=<f> |
| OpenRouter key (skins) | env OPENROUTER_KEY or ~/Documents/dealgod/lore/keys.env (never committed) |
| depot password (publish) | env GOD3_PW (never committed; ask John) — cookie = hmac(GOD3_PW,"3god-ok") |
| Ollama (free LLM) | http://100.89.131.57:11434 (qwen3) — for names/lore/cataloguing, unused so far |
| MODELBEAST (free local gen) | this box, ~/Documents/MODELBEAST + its own queue on :8777. flux_local = FLUX.2-klein-4B text→image on MPS (the facade skins — ungated, weights cached). sf3d/trellis_mac = image→GLB, local + PROVEN, weights already cached — trellis_mac (TRELLIS.2 1024_cascade) went 15/15 on thriftgod's Tier-1 props (Lane G/ultra, R1); sf3d = seconds-fast draft. Also live on the queue: bg_remove_local, mflux_image_edit, seedvr2_upscale. (The old "HF-gated / setup needed" note here was stale — flagged by ultra, corrected R22.) |
The steps (each is idempotent / resumable)
1. Audit — AUDIT.md (free)
scp pipeline/glb_stat.py johnking@100.91.239.7:/tmp/
ssh johnking@100.91.239.7 'cd ~/Documents/3D=models && python3 /tmp/glb_stat.py --json shop-fittings street-furniture furniture props-scenes' > pipeline/_audit_stats.json
glb_stat.py is a dependency-free GLB parser (tris, bbox, texture sizes, Draco flag). Findings +
licensing triage are written up in AUDIT.md.
2. Normalize — normalize.py → 16 GLBs + thumbs (free, runs on ultra)
scp pipeline/normalize.py pipeline/batch.json johnking@100.91.239.7:/tmp/
BL=/Applications/Blender.app/Contents/MacOS/Blender
ssh johnking@100.91.239.7 "\$BL --background --python /tmp/normalize.py -- /tmp/batch.json /tmp/procity_norm"
scp johnking@100.91.239.7:/tmp/procity_norm/_results.json pipeline/_normalize_results.json
scp 'johnking@100.91.239.7:/tmp/procity_norm/thumbs/*.png' web/assets/thumbs/
scp 'johnking@100.91.239.7:/tmp/procity_norm/*.glb' pipeline/_normalized/
Enforces the house GLB law (metres, +Y up, base origin, ≤5k tris, WebP ≤1024, no Draco), renders a
256px thumbnail each. Extends MESHGOD/scripts/finish_glb.py (solidify/decimate/bright/base-origin)
- adds texture-webp, height-normalize, outlier cleanup, per-asset up/yaw. Edit
batch.jsonto add assets; always eyeball the thumbnails — node-transform-distorted sources (see AUDIT rejects) look fine in-frame but have wrong footprints.
3. Manifest — build_manifest.py + validate_manifest.py (free)
python3 pipeline/build_manifest.py # → web/assets/manifest.json
python3 pipeline/validate_manifest.py # Lane F gate: 0 errors = green
python3 pipeline/validate_manifest.py --depot # stricter: require GLBs live on the depot
build_manifest.py derives skins from web/assets/gen/ + fittings from _normalize_results.json;
the curated facade→shop-type maps live at the top of that file (edit there when adding skins).
4. Publish — publish.py → 3GOD depot (the one outward-facing step)
python3 pipeline/publish.py --dry-run # free: list what would upload
export GOD3_PW=... # ask John
python3 pipeline/publish.py # POST each GLB + thumb to the depot (idempotent)
5. Facade skin gaps — gen_skins.py --local (DONE, free, on-device)
The 23-skin gap pack is already generated + harvested + mapped. To re-run or extend:
python3 pipeline/gen_skins.py --local --dry-run # free: list the pack, no GPU
python3 pipeline/gen_skins.py --local # MODELBEAST flux2-klein-4b on MPS → .genraw/ (~5.7s/img)
python3 pipeline/gen_skins.py --harvest # → web/assets/gen/facade-*.jpg, then re-run build_manifest.py
--local drives ~/Documents/MODELBEAST/server/operators/flux_local/run.py directly (no server,
no key, weights cached). It runs one GPU job at a time. Add skins by editing PROMPTS in
gen_skins.py and their shop-type map in build_manifest.py (FACADE_TYPES). Always eyeball
.genraw/ and delete rejects before --harvest. Cloud fallback (drop --local): OpenRouter
google/gemini-3.1-flash-image, ~$0.004/img, needs OPENROUTER_KEY. Manual flow: SKIN_PROMPTS.md.
6. Bespoke hero props — gen_props.py (MODELBEAST) (round-3: DONE, free, on-device)
The meshgod_batch.json gap list now goes through MODELBEAST instead of fal.ai — free, local:
python3 pipeline/gen_props.py --dry-run # list props + what's done
python3 pipeline/gen_props.py --concepts # flux_local concept images → .genprops/*.png (eyeball!)
python3 pipeline/gen_props.py --mesh --only glass-case # trellis_mac 1024_cascade image→GLB (~5-8 min)
python3 pipeline/gen_props.py --mesh # all props with a concept, no glb
# then normalize (uses local Blender), stage, catalogue:
BL=/Applications/Blender.app/Contents/MacOS/Blender
"$BL" --background --python pipeline/normalize.py -- pipeline/batch_props.json pipeline/_normalized web/assets/thumbs
cp pipeline/_normalized/_results.json pipeline/_props_results.json && python3 pipeline/build_manifest.py
5 shipped (arcade_cabinet, listening_booth, drinks_fridge, milkshake_mixer, novelty_record) + cash-register
reused from depot. magazine-rack → primitive (thin-wire gotcha); glass-case/bus-shelter → fal.ai
fallback (TRELLIS can't do transparent glass; sf3d --draft gives a featureless blob). TRELLIS meshes run
heavy (25–77k tris) — see AUDIT provenance. Eyeball every thumbnail; ≤2 local attempts then fal (John's go).
⚠️ Finishing a trellis_mac mesh — ultra's post-mortem (Lane G, R1) — folded in verbatim
⚠️ Do NOT run trellis_mac output through the MESHGOD finish farm — its fill_holes+decimate shreds 200k-tri marching-cubes meshes (proven on ultra, post-mortem in dealgod memory). The working pipeline: raw GLB →
npx @gltf-transform/cli optimize --compress draco --texture-compress webp --texture-size 1024 --simplify-error 0.01→ 0.4–1.8 MB at raw-quality look.
Credit: Lane G / ultra (G-progress.md), proven post-mortem — it cost them a shredded batch so it
shouldn't cost us one. One amendment, per Fable's Ruling 1 (docs/LANES/FABLE_TO_LANE_G.md):
NO-DRACO WINS — the depot speaks uncompressed GLB and PROCITY's loader stays decoder-free. So drop
--compress draco; everything else in ultra's command stands (WebP ≤1024 is already our law):
npx @gltf-transform/cli optimize IN.glb OUT.glb \
--texture-compress webp --texture-size 1024 --simplify-error 0.01 # NO --compress draco
Files land ~2–3× bigger than the Draco'd version and that's fine — the depot holds ONE law.
Note our own in-house paths remain valid for their own cases and are NOT the finish farm:
bake_lowpoly.py (voxel-remesh + bake, for shell-soup that must hit a low budget) and
decimate_props.py (collapse, detail-preserving — see the R13 instrument diet).
7. Local-depot mode — loaders.js ?localdepot=1 + stage_local_depot.py (round-3: DONE)
Lets Lanes B/C/F validate GLB loading with no network / before publish:
python3 pipeline/stage_local_depot.py # mirror _normalized/*.glb → web/assets/models/ (git-ignored)
# then load the game with ?localdepot=1 — depot:<file> resolves to assets/models/<file> instead of the CDN
8. Audio pack — gen_audio.py (round-11: DONE, free, on-device)
Tool choice (Fable asked E to pick + document): pure procedural synthesis in numpy, not a neural model. MODELBEAST has no audio operator, and for this pack synthesis wins outright — $0, no model download, deterministic/seeded (house law), perfectly seamless loops (neural gens don't loop), parody-safe by construction (every sample is an original oscillator/noise render — nothing to imitate), and precise ≤25 MB budget control. Pipeline: numpy synth → WAV → ffmpeg OGG/Opus (+ M4A/AAC).
PY=~/Documents/MODELBEAST/venvs/mflux/bin/python # numpy lives in the mflux venv
$PY pipeline/gen_audio.py --dry-run # list the 23-asset pack + budget
$PY pipeline/gen_audio.py # render all → web/assets/audio/*.ogg + *.m4a
$PY pipeline/gen_audio.py --only music # just the music beds
python3 pipeline/build_manifest.py # catalogue → manifest.json audio:{ambience,sfx,music}
23 assets, 8.1 MB shipped (opus+aac): 6 ambience beds (street day/night, rain, 3 roomtones), 13
sfx (doorbell, door, till, riffle, toast, tram bell/rumble, 6 footsteps), 4 instrumental 90s music
loops. Loudness: beds/music loudnorm -16 LUFS, sfx peak-normalised. Ear-ball = spectrogram sheet
docs/shots/laneE/audio_spectrograms.png + numeric loop-seam/peak check (I can't subjectively listen —
final ear-check is John's/F's). Add assets by editing PACK in gen_audio.py + the AUDIO_* maps in
build_manifest.py. WAV scratch pipeline/.genaudio/ is git-ignored; OGG/M4A ship committed.
9. Gig layer — round-12 (v3.0-alpha, ?gigs=1) (DONE, free, on-device)
Three asset streams for one-pub-end-to-end, all $0:
# instruments (5 GLBs): flux concept -> trellis -> normalize, via the --batch override
python3 pipeline/gen_props.py --batch pipeline/gig_instruments.json --concepts # eyeball first
python3 pipeline/gen_props.py --batch pipeline/gig_instruments.json --mesh # ~3-4 min each
BL=/Applications/Blender.app/Contents/MacOS/Blender
"$BL" --background --python pipeline/normalize.py -- pipeline/gig_norm_batch.json pipeline/_normalized web/assets/thumbs
# posters (4 skins): portrait flyers with a blank name-band (B/C overprint like signboards)
python3 pipeline/gen_skins.py --posters && python3 pipeline/gen_skins.py --harvest
# gig audio (3): pub-rock live bed + crowd-walla + applause — already in gen_audio.py PACK
~/Documents/MODELBEAST/venvs/mflux/bin/python pipeline/gen_audio.py --only music # etc.
python3 pipeline/build_manifest.py # catalogues skins.poster + audio gig assets + fittings
Instruments: amp/guitar/bass reconstruct well; thin objects (mic-stand pole, drum hardware) may fall
to D's primitive (round-3 thin-wire lesson — spec allows "primitives when absent"). Posters carry
nameZone [x,y,w,h] in skins.poster. Gig audio is flagged gig:true in manifest.audio.
Cost summary
| step | cost |
|---|---|
| audit, normalize, manifest, validate, publish | free (compute + bandwidth) |
| facade skin gap-fill (23 imgs) | free — done on-device (MODELBEAST flux_local); cloud fallback ~9¢ |
| hero props (round-3) | free — 5 via MODELBEAST trellis_mac; glass-case/bus-shelter on fal.ai list (≤$2.70, John's go) |
| audio pack (round-11, 23 assets) | free — 100% procedural synthesis (numpy → ffmpeg), $0, no model |

10. Motion library — clips_export.py → clips_pack.py → clips_verify.py (round-41 §41.1: DONE, free, on-device)
46 Mixamo clips → 6 grouped skeleton-only GLBs in web/models/clips/ (3 498 124 B, 0 tris) + a
new web/assets/motion_manifest.json. Source is ultra's ~/Documents/MOTIONLIB/green/mixamo_full/
only (Mixamo = GREEN: usable in games, no attribution, never redistribute as clip packs).
The selection is checked in at pipeline/clips_r41.json — every asset by name, no wildcard.
python3 - <<'EOF' > /tmp/fbx_list.txt # 1. the 46 names

No retarget is run and none is wanted: the Mixamo bank and PROCITY's peds are the same
mixamorig skeleton (rigs.js _canon folds mixamorig1/4/…). A mixamorig→mixamorig pass through
MIRPAMO would add error and bake the ped mesh into the clip file, destroying the zero-draw
property. MIRPAMO (~/Documents/MIRPAMO, make smoke = its ground truth, green on Blender 5.1.2)
is for foreign skeletons (CMU/BVH) and for rigging raw meshes. Blender-5 gotcha avoided by
construction: FBX goes in, glTF comes out — nothing is ever exported through FBX.
Packer flags (each measured in AUDIT.md R41): --tracks all restores translation+scale (the
engine's _rotOnly discards them, so they ship off by default) · --no-quantize keeps float32
rotations (int16-normalized is ~2× smaller at a worst measured error of 0.0034°) ·
--drop-fingers removes the 40 finger channels = 49.7% of the payload, taking the set to
1.71 MB. Accessor dedup is lossless and always on (saved 1 341 724 B).
⚠️ Licence zoning, ruling 1 (closed R41): MIRPAMO's library/downloads/ also held 3,077
CC BY-NC (never-shippable) Bandai-Namco BVH, unzoned and unmarked. They now live at
library/downloads/red/bandai_namco_1_NC-research/ with the _NC-research suffix on every file
(so mirpamo batch's <rig>@<clip>.glb naming propagates the marker), and MIRPAMO's
library/manifest.json licence label is reconciled to ultra's MOTIONLIB/SOURCES.md.
R41 ships one licence regime: Mixamo. CMU/100STYLE/ACCAD are CC-BY — they wait on 41.5's credits
