Notes

Import Script*

Created a master Traits list, with original formatting
Male Base Mesh, and Female Base Mesh, need seperate animations to match their armatures
Male base mesh has error importing
Animations needed after we decide base mesh
Eyes trait is missing from most .json
Brace_master has no armature
Create animation testing fork
Exporting batches of 200+ fills VRAM
Gather Animations From Same Armature
Decide VRM MetaAuthoring
Make sure all materials have unique names, playcanvas bug
Script to attach objects to the headbone / Blender fixed OnCyber Bug
Errors on Importing PNGs
plugins for merging skinned meshes / transfer weights
22 Masks in Metadata, but more in Folders
Overall Scale
FBX and GLBs / Unity Import Process for Materials

https://github.com/M3-org/anata-boom-tools/issues

Supplement metadata prior to generation (some don't have traits like eye)
Master CSV / JSON of Metadata v2

Bring up animation artifacts in some assets, sanitize?

Preparing blends for Unity import
Export all glbs from current directory, import into blender and arrange as grid (arrange.py), then pack blend file / export master glb for ingestion.

jin: Add male / female base mesh to the master blends

Meeting 5-10-23

female team: get eyes/tattoos/earrings as transparent pngs
timelapse some blendering / unity stuff
- some metadataing
Note: naming in blender hierarchy should match traits
- folder structure is canonical
- see metadata folder: https://github.com/M3-org/anata/blob/main/metadata/alltraits.csv

Jin: make vlog video about constructing master blend files per category

not everything might color match exactly 1:1
