SCENEGOD — machinima director's sandbox

Drop characters, Mixamo clips, and photo backdrops onto a 3D stage; keyframe transforms, cameras (with cuts), and lights on a timeline; render an mp4 with muxed audio. The Movies / Source Filmmaker energy on the GODVERSE stack.

Run

.venv/bin/uvicorn scenegod.server:app --port 8020
# → http://127.0.0.1:8020

Assets live in assets/{characters,animations,props,backdrops,audio}/ (plain folders, scanned live — files sharing dir+stem are one entry; a same-stem image becomes the thumbnail). Scenes save to scenes/*.json, renders to renders/ (reaped after 48h).

What works (v1)

• GLB/FBX/OBJ characters & props; spec-gloss (Character Creator) GLBs are converted on load. Image backdrops: flat plane, corner, or 360 dome.
• Mixamo-style clip retarget onto any mixamorig-named skeleton, client-side (world-space rotation-delta bake, ported from MESHGOD rigroom).
• Timeline: transform + param keyframes with easing, clip blocks with trim/loop/crossfade, multiple cameras + cut list, keyframable sun/ambient, audio tracks (Web Audio preview; server-side ffmpeg mux in the final mp4), viseme/morph track with Rhubarb JSON import (GET /rhubarb?path= if the rhubarb binary is installed).
• Render: draft webm (MediaRecorder) or deterministic PNG-sequence → ffmpeg h264 (+aac) mp4 at any resolution.
• scripts/graft_limb.py: headless-Blender armature graft (add a rigged hand/limb to a rigged body; refuses when the bones already exist).
• scripts/test_server.py (9 groups) + node scenegod/web/timeline_test.mjs.
