feat(#522): VAT export family — skeletal, rigid-body, mesh-anim and morph modes - #1076
Conversation
…orph modes One OpenVAT baker, four samplers (VATBaker::Mode): - skeletal: unchanged output (default), now tagged `_mode` in the sidecar - mesh-anim: full-mesh vertex clips (Alembic / VAT_POSE streams) - morph: morph-weight clips resolved through Ogre pose blending; sidecar lists `_morph_targets`; `--anim` defaults to the editor's "MorphAnim" - rigid: one quaternion + pivot per submesh chunk per frame (Horn fit, reusing FaceCapPose::solve); per-chunk residual reported so a non-rigid source is visible instead of silently wrong; Godot `openvat_rigid.gdshader` template + README math for Unity/Unreal Encodings rgba8 | rgba16 (default) | exr; `--target agnostic|unity| unreal|godot` recorded as `_target` and shipping that engine's template. CLI `qtmesh vat --mode/--encoding/--target`, MCP `bake_vat` mode/ encoding/target/include_shaders, Inspector Mode/Encoding/Target pickers. Sentry `file.export` breadcrumbs carry `vat_mode=`. Two bugs surfaced by an ICT lipsync parity test, both fixed: - Ogre wraps setTimePosition(length) to 0 while the state loops, so the last baked frame read frame 0; the bake now runs with loop off. - readGltfVertices refused any glTF with a base64 data: buffer (the exporter appends the morph-weights animation as one), so morph bakes lost vertex alignment + UV2; data URIs are decoded and the warning names the failing gate. Verified against an independent glTF blend-shape oracle: every frame of the 51-target ICT lipsync bake decodes within one 16-bit quantization step (0.00036 vs 0.00052).

📝 WalkthroughWalkthroughThe VAT baker now supports skeletal, rigid, mesh-animation, and morph modes with selectable encodings and targets. The Inspector, CLI, and MCP tool expose these options. Rigid mode adds chunk metadata and a Godot shader template. CLI glTF vertex readback now supports base64 data-URI buffers. ChangesVAT Export Family

For a looping rigid clip that accumulates a full rotation, adjacent-frame hemisphere continuity can leave the last quaternion antipodal to the first. Since next wraps from the last frame to frame 0, this unconditional normalized lerp crosses through a near-zero quaternion at the loop seam, producing an undefined or visibly incorrect rotation. Flip qn when dot(qc, qn) < 0 before interpolating, including for the wrapped pair.

There was a problem hiding this comment.
On a rigged entity that also has a vertex or morph animation state with the requested name, this check passes solely because the entity has a skeleton; the later state lookup also succeeds even when the skeleton has no such animation. The bake then samples vertex deformation and labels the output _mode: skeletal, despite skeletalClip already being computed as false. Reject the request unless skeletalClip is true so CLI and MCP callers cannot silently produce a mislabeled bake.

8797-8802: 🎯 Functional Correctness | 🔵 Trivial | 💤 Low valueThe
include_shaderstarget check uses substring matching.
includeShaders.contains(target)is a substring test on a comma-separated list. It also accepts"all"anywhere in the string. A token such as"godot4"or"notunity"can hide the target, so the code does not add the target's template. Split the list withVATShaderEmitter::parseEngineList(includeShaders)and check membership in the parsed list.♻️ Proposed fix

- skeletal mode now requires a SKELETON animation: a rigged mesh that also carries a vertex/morph clip under the requested name used to bake vertex deformation labelled `_mode: skeletal` (Codex); regression test on a rigged entity with a vertex clip, which also pins the mesh-anim bake of that clip with the skeleton left in bind pose - openvat_rigid.gdshader aligns quaternion sign across the loop seam before the frame lerp (last frame -> frame 0 can be antipodal) (Codex) - MCP/CLI `include_shaders`+target merge uses parseEngineList membership instead of substring matching (CodeRabbit); robot-mesh MCP tests gain the canLoadMeshFiles()/fixture-path guards (CodeRabbit) - rigid mode: MCP payload reports `shaders_skipped` and the Inspector shows a `lastWarning` when an engine has no rigid template, instead of a clean success with a missing file - `_morph_targets` lists only the poses the clip actually references (no "every pose" fallback) - GUI morph bakes use the same `<entity>_morph` default basename as the CLI/MCP for the internal weight clip - rigid fit no longer copies the bind/deformed slices per chunk per frame; per-chunk solver inputs are built once - glTF read-back tolerates a count-0 accessor again (the reason-reporting change had narrowed it) - rigid CLI report says "primitive i == chunk i" rather than "vertex order matches the bake"; JSON gains `chunkMapping` - header/CLI comments no longer claim bit-identical skeletal output (the last row is now the pose at t == length) Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5.1 <noreply@anthropic.com>
