- Fixed Blender export: remove FBX armature modifier before scaling,
then transform_apply(scale=True) before creating new armature
- Model now exports at correct 1.8 unit height (verified in Blender)
- SkinnedPlayerModel now polls MovementStateMachine in _process
to drive animations based on movement state
- Player 1 gets Miku at origin, others get procedural humanoid at y=-0.9
Pipeline:
1. Downloaded TDA-style Miku model from Sketchfab (19MB FBX, 38K verts)
2. Imported to Blender, scaled to Godot humanoid proportions (1.8u tall)
3. Created clean 17-bone humanoid armature (Hips/Spine/Chest/Head/Arms/Legs)
4. Auto-weight-painted mesh to armature
5. Added Idle (breath bounce) and Run (cycle) animations
6. Exported as GLB with embedded animations (3MB)
New:
- SkinnedPlayerModel class: loads GLB with own armature+animations
- Player 1 spawns with Miku model, others get procedural humanoid
- Completely separate from procedural model system
Files:
- assets/characters/skins/miku_rigged_final.glb (3MB, 48K verts, 17 bones, 2 anims)
- characters/skinned_player_model.gd
- Removed old procedural GLB attempts
Skin System:
- PlayerSkin resource class (model_path, color_tint, etc.)
- SkinManager with default skins: Default, Red Team, Forest, Miku
- HumanoidModel.apply_skin() supports both GLB model replacement
and procedural color tinting
- Procedural meshes auto-hide when GLB model is loaded
Miku Skin:
- 43-part procedural model generated in Blender (headless)
- Twin tails, headphones, thigh-high socks, idol outfit
- Teal/cyan color scheme with red accents
- Exported to assets/characters/skins/miku.glb
- Applied to player 1 in test level builder
Pipeline:
- Blender 5.0.1 + MCP addon installed
- Bridge script for socket-based Blender control
- docs/3D_ASSET_PIPELINE.md documents full workflow
