type-two 037f6ef0af Fold NPCFACTORY in: vendor three.js, take the banks, and fix units without flattening body types
NPCFACTORY and wardrobegod were the same product — wardrobegod had already absorbed its reskin
engine, and keeping two benches means two half-libraries and two export paths. Folded, keeping
the wardrobegod name and codebase (370 lines there vs ~1,100 here).

· Vendored three.js r175 from NPCFACTORY, replacing the unpkg CDN importmap. This was real
  drift, not tidiness: a CDN import breaks offline and can't be lifted into a game build.
  NPCFACTORY lacked OrbitControls (it used PointerLock), so that one addon was fetched at the
  matching revision. Added a guarded /vendor/ static route. Verified in-browser: zero CDN
  requests, 5 vendor files, model still loads.
· Took the 17 rigged walk-animated NPCs and 6 parts. Bodies 4 -> 20.
· New `unitfix` op. Deliberately NOT scale-to-height: a 0.06m human is a UNIT error, but
  normalising everything to 1.72m would erase the small/medium/large/obese range the library is
  meant to carry. So it only corrects heights outside 0.5-3.0m — physically impossible for a
  human — and leaves real proportions alone as data. Verified both ways: hum_character 0.0576m
  -> 1.72m, tradie 1.000m left untouched.

Three bugs found while building it, two of them pre-existing:
· `is_helper`/`real_meshes`/`bbox_of` factored out. Material-less bone widgets (a radius-1
  42-vert Icosphere, so exactly 2.0 units tall) were being measured INSTEAD of the character —
  every body reported 2.000m. This poisoned the `scale` op too, which has been measuring
  widgets all along; NPCFACTORY's render_plates.py had independently worked around the same
  thing by framing on the dominant mesh.
· `transform_apply` under temp_override(selected_editable_objects=...) SEGFAULTS Blender 5.1.2
  on rigs with parented children. A segfault can't be caught, so it's avoided rather than
  handled: glTF encodes node scale natively, so setting the root transform is sufficient and
  every downstream measurement still reads correctly. Confirmed `scale` still round-trips
  (1.00m -> 1.72m, re-measured).
· My own bulk edit replaced only ONE of the two crash-prone call sites and reported "replaced 1"
  — I didn't check for a second, which is why `scale` worked while `unitfix` kept crashing.

WARDROBEGOD — one skeleton, infinite fits

The wardrobe generator bench: load bodies (FBX/GLB/OBJ), build a clothes library, generate new garments on the farm, fit them, assemble dressed NPCs. Sibling of NPCFACTORY (the dress-up/clip bench) and MeshGod imagelab — this one owns clothing.

python3 server.py                 → http://localhost:8150
WG_HOST=0.0.0.0 python3 server.py → expose on the tailnet
MB_TOKEN=mbt_… python3 server.py  → enables the generator tab (MODELBEAST bearer token)

No build step: stdlib server + three.js from CDN. Heavy lifting = local headless Blender (blender_ops.py, tested on 5.1.2; override path with WG_BLENDER).

What it does

  • Library panes: bodies (scans library/bodies/ + ~/Documents/anatomy + thriftgod's web/assets/models), garments, generated images, finished outfits. Upload via file inputs.
  • Stage: orbit viewer; FBX auto-converts to GLB (cached in .glbcache/); HUD reads tris / height / rig state (bones + clips); first clip auto-plays.
  • Body ops: scale-to-height (bases arrive 1.0m tall — normalize to ~1.72m); decimate-keep-weights (the SAFE local path for rigged meshes — never farm /finish).
  • Rigid attach (tier 1): hats/bags/shoes → pick a bone, slide offsets, preview live. Bake permanently via the fleet /rig endpoint (m1ultra :8011) when happy.
  • Deforming FIT (tier 2): weight-transfers the rigged body's skinning onto a garment mesh (Blender data_transfer, nearest-face interpolated, optional inflate-mm of air), parents it to the armature. FIT → wardrobe item = garment+skeleton GLB (reusable); fit → dressed glb = body+garment in one.
  • Assemble: body + ticked fitted garments → one dressed GLB in out/ — drop straight into thriftgod / djsim / procity, or publish to 3GOD.

Generating NEW clothing (the pipeline, $0 on MODELBEAST)

  1. flux (flux_local, Klein) — product-shot prompt template: garment laid flat, white bg
  2. cutout (bg_remove_local) — the biggest quality lever before 3D
  3. then ONE of:
    • → rigid 3D (trellis_mac, ~5 min): hats, shoes, bags, glasses — bone-parent these. NOT for floppy cloth: reconstruction eats thin geometry (fleet traps ledger).
    • → hanging texture: flat garment PNG for rack planes (djsim fittings.js garment({image})) and the paper-doll wardrobe. Flat clothes love this route.
    • deforming wearables: model/retopo against the base body (or socket-cut a clothed torso, character_kit_modular style), then FIT. Never raw-gen these.

House rules

  • Bases (anatomical models) stay in the library. Only dressed outfits ship into games.
  • FIT requires a rigged body. Unrigged base → rig first (MIRPAMO on ultra, or Mixamo).
  • One skeleton (mixamorig) across the fleet: any garment fitted on one body fits every body on that skeleton, and every clip in the bank drives it.
