The Miku model T-posed because the previous _update_skin() used
set_bone_pose(i, get_bone_pose(i)) which is a no-op when the pose
is unchanged. Replace with skeleton.notification(NOTIFICATION_UPDATE_SKELETON)
to force the Skeleton3D to recompute bone transforms and notify the
MeshInstance to update vertex buffers.
Also fix scale: the GLB is ~1.2m tall (not 1.6m as documented), so
set scale_factor=1.25 to fit the 1.8m player capsule, and add
position_y_offset=-0.2 to align the model's feet with the player origin.

The skinned player model was loading miku_rigged_final.glb which only
contained a single "Idle" animation (1 track, near-rest pose). This caused
"animation 'Jump/Walk/Run' not found" spam and a T-pose appearance.
Switch to miku_rigged_animated.glb which has all 7 animations
(Crouch, Death, Idle, Idle2, Jump, Run, Walk).
Additional fixes:
- Fix scaling: the GLB is already in meters (~1.6m tall), not cm.
Removed the unconditional 0.01 cm->m conversion that was shrinking
the character to 1/100th size.
- Fix bone track paths: use "MikuRig/Skeleton3D:" prefix matching the
actual scene tree structure (AnimationPlayer is sibling of MikuRig).
- Add _ensure_locomotion_animations() to create Walk/Run/Jump/Idle
procedurally if the GLB is missing them.
- Eliminate per-frame "not found" log spam with rate-limited warnings.
- Update level_runtime.gd and test_level_builder.gd to use animated GLB.
Closes #3d-player-model animation pipeline
The Blender GLTF exporter was stripping animation tracks (only 1 of 51
channels survived export). Now SkinnedPlayerModel detects this at
runtime and creates a proper Idle animation programmatically using Godot's
Animation API with 5 bone tracks (Spine, Arms, Neck, Hips).
Also switched model_path back to miku_rigged_final.glb since the
re-export wasn't adding usable animations.
- Remove duplicate is_local variable in level_runtime.gd line 224
- Remove orphaned animation code from old load_model in skinned_player_model.gd
- Both files now compile cleanly
Godot headless/CLI can't import GLB files — the GLTF loader only works
in the editor GUI. Switched SkinnedPlayerModel to use GLTFDocument.append_from_buffer()
which parses GLB data from raw bytes at runtime.
Verified: GLB parses successfully, generates scene with MikuRig skeleton,
AnimationPlayer, and 7 animations (Crouch, Death, Idle, Idle_001, Jump, Run, Walk).
Also added characters/glb_loader.gd as a reusable utility for loading
any GLB file at runtime.
- Add miku_rigged_animated.glb (3.27MB) with 18-bone skeleton and 6 animations
(Idle, Walk, Run, Jump, Crouch, Death) via Blender auto-rig script
- Add tools/rig_and_animate.py: reusable Blender script for rigging any humanoid
mesh with Mixamo-compatible bone naming
- Update SkinnedPlayerModel: scale_factor, first-person mode, animation state
matching (Idle/Walk/Run/Jump/Crouch/Death)
- Update level_runtime.gd: use skinned model for local player, procedural
humanoid for remote players
- Update skin_manager.gd and test_level_builder.gd to use animated model
- Fix Godot 4.2.1 'is not Type' syntax in 5 weapon files
- Add editor/import_miku_to_tscn.gd for editor-based GLB import
