## 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
