#954: the FBX importer regression that poisoned motion-library re-extraction — fixed end to end

Importer fix (the core, one guarded condition)

The #936 space-change correction C = ogreBindLocal·nodeBindLocal⁻¹ was applied to every bone's animation keyframes. By chain induction it is only correct for root bones (whose re-rooted bind bakes the node ancestors in, G = ancestors·N); for any bone with an Ogre parent the correct keyframe is simply ogreBindLocal⁻¹·rawKey. Applying C to deep bones double-corrects every bone whose skin bind differs from its node bind — on Blender-FBX rigs (per-bone PreRotations on the arm chains) this rotated whole arm chains ~90° into the air while bind-consistent legs stayed right.

Settled with external ground truth: headless Blender imports of the Quaternius Woman play her walk with hanging, swinging arms; our import previously held them horizontal. After the fix they match. Mixamo (Rumba) output is bit-identical (C telescopes to identity for bind-consistent rigs).

Extraction fixes (whole-clip yaw)

  • Facing-aware bind-reference detection: the bind-vs-animation frame check compared only torso uprightness; a bind whose facing differs ~90° from the animations passed as a valid reference and yawed whole canonical clips (Woman Run/Sit rendered sideways while Walk was fine). The hip line at bind vs the sampled animated frame is now compared too.
  • Bladed-reference audit: whichever path picked the reference frame, if its hip line deviates >~40° from the clip-mean hip line (running mid-stride, seated twist), re-pick across all frames with a combined uprightness × facing-squareness score.
  • Clip-averaged facing for the canonical frame (mean hip line → canonical +X) — the yaw analog of the existing clip-averaged up-leveling.

Retarget addition

refRoll (bind-anchored roll baseline): the extraction exports each role's bind→reference roll (parent-relative, immune to the bind-vs-animation armature offset); the retarget adds it to the twist channel so the roll baseline anchors to the source bind instead of the extraction's arbitrary reference frame. The hip (role 0) is excluded — its roll is whole-body facing, which stays anchored to the target bind. The --apply-canonical parity harness consumes refRoll too, so self-retarget parity exercises the same twist path.

Explicitly not shipped

An "Arm height" slider (arm-chain pitch about the torso lateral axis) was built as an interim tool during the investigation and reverted in-branch per maintainer decision — with the importer + extraction fixes the clips it was built to rescue extract correctly (implementation preserved in history at e08df62 if ever needed).

Data (shipped separately to HF, no code)

Full corpus re-extracted with the fixed pipeline (150 clips after removing the broken Fruit-Characters Wave, all with refRoll). The maintainer-curated 41-clip set from this extraction is live on QtMeshEditor-models/QtMeshEditor-t2m as the default library for all installations.

Verification

  • Blender ground-truth parity on the Woman (walk arm directions).
  • Live viewport screenshots on Rumba (front + profile): Woman Walk/Run/Sit/Jump, low-poly Punch (chest-high guard) / Jump, Gregorio BuildLoop (crouch preserved) — all correct; maintainer-verified in-app.
  • Mixamo raw-anatomy dumps bit-identical across every change.
  • 39/39 pure-data Motion tests pass; full suite on Linux CI.

Investigation WIP commits retained in-branch for history; diagnostics env-gated (QTMESH_T2M_DEBUG, QTMESH_EXTRACT_DEBUG).

Closes #954.

…dependence for the twist channel

The retarget's twist channel zeroes at the extraction's reference
frame, so re-extractions that pick different references shift arm
bend-planes by the reference roll. Export the source's bind->reference
roll per role (parent-relative — immune to the armature world offset
that blocks bind comparisons) and add it to the twist channel so the
roll baseline anchors to the SOURCE BIND regardless of reference
choice. Empty refRoll -> legacy behavior (shipped libraries
unaffected).

…rso lateral axis (#957)

The existing Arm space slider swings about the torso FORWARD axis, so
clips whose arms point forward (raised-arm walks — 2017 Quaternius
packs) sit ON its rotation axis and don't respond ('-30 still too
wide'). Arm height pitches about the LATERAL axis instead: negative
lowers the arms toward hanging, positive raises. Same absolute +
idempotent per-clip contract as arm-space (rename migration,
clear-on-regenerate, live paused-clip refresh). Surfaces: Inspector
'Arm height' slider under Arm space; CLI --arm-elevation (generate +
standalone --animation adjust).

…ED, do not merge

Blender ground truth (headless import of the Quaternius Woman) proves
the importer raises Blender-FBX arm chains ~90deg: Blender plays the
walk with arms HANGING (upper arm dominant -Z in its Z-up world) while
our import holds them horizontal. Root cause: the animation-channel
space correction uses the bone's OWN bind mismatch; per-bone
node-vs-skin bind mismatches accumulate along ancestors, so deep bones
need a PARENT-CHAIN correction. Three formulations tested (full-chain /
root-rebased / hybrid): arms come down but the global body orientation
scrambles (hip line reads +Y). Mixamo rigs identity/unaffected in all
variants. Next session: dump per-bone node binds vs skin binds for the
Woman's arm chain and solve C from data before recompiling.

…only

The #936 space-change C = ogreBindLocal·nodeBindLocal⁻¹ was applied to
EVERY bone. By chain induction the correct keyframe for a bone with an
Ogre parent is simply ogreBindLocal⁻¹·rawKey — applying C to deep bones
double-corrects any bone whose skin bind differs from its node bind,
which on Blender-FBX rigs (per-bone PreRotations on the arm chain)
rotated whole ARM CHAINS ~90° into the air while legs stayed correct.
The ROOT is the one bone whose Ogre parent chain differs from its node
ancestors, and #936's re-rooting bakes those ancestors into the root
bind (G = ancestors·N), making the own-bind form exact exactly there.

Verified: Quaternius Woman walk now plays with hanging, swinging arms
(matches Blender's import — the external ground truth); Quaternius
lowpoly punch recovers its chest-high boxing guard (matches the July
gold library); Mixamo (Rumba) raw-anatomy output is bit-identical.

Fixes the regression that poisoned the motion-library re-extraction
(#954, hosted library had been rolled back on 2026-08-21).

Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~45 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 340be

This PR changes FBX import, motion extraction, retargeting, and an optional parameter. It is not fully merge-ready because existing positional call sites may silently bind arguments incorrectly, while the parity harness can mirror limbs or report false failures; redundant extraction work and misleading CLI error text are bounded follow-up concerns.

P1 Badge Recompose both arm adjustments from a common baseline

When a user changes both Arm space and Arm height, this left-multiplies the elevation delta onto keyframes already modified by adjustArmSpace, while each function tracks only its own angle. Because rotations about the lateral and forward axes do not commute, subsequently changing either slider applies its inverse/delta in the wrong order; even setting both sliders back to zero can leave the commutator rotation baked into every shoulder keyframe rather than restoring the original clip. Store an unmodified baseline or undo/reapply both tracked adjustments in a consistent order.

Resolved by removal: the Arm height slider (and its CLI/controller/core surface) was reverted per the maintainer's decision — with the #954 importer + extraction fixes the clips it was built to rescue extract correctly, so the second adjustment no longer exists and the composition-order concern is moot. History retains the implementation (e08df62) if it's ever reintroduced, at which point a canonical composition order (this suggestion) is the right design.

P2 Badge Pass serialized reference roll through canonical apply

The canonical dump now writes refRoll, but the --apply-canonical reader at lines 2740–2774 still parses only quats, restWorld, and restDir and calls applyMotionClip without the new argument. Consequently, immediately applying a newly dumped clip silently takes the legacy reference-zeroed roll path, so the self-parity harness cannot exercise or validate the bind-anchored-roll fix this field was added for.

Done in 340be25: --apply-canonical now parses the dump's refRoll (accepting only ≥22-wide arrays, mirroring MotionLibrary) and passes it through applyMotionClip, so the self-retarget parity harness exercises the same bind-anchored twist path as the library retarget.

93-99: 📐 Maintainability & Code Quality | 🔵 Trivial | ⚖️ Poor tradeoff

Consider a parameter object for cmdAnimGenerate's growing option list.

cmdAnimGenerate now takes seven trailing parameters, several of them same-typed (float armSpaceDeg, float armElevDeg) and adjacent, which makes positional call sites easy to transpose without a compiler error. A small options struct (mirroring FixOptions already in this file) would make each field self-documenting at the call site and prevent this class of silent misassignment as more options are added.

Role 0's 'roll' about its vertical axis is whole-body FACING, which the
retarget deliberately anchors to the TARGET's own bind. Re-basing it
injected the source armature's yaw convention as a constant ~80-96 deg
hip twist (user-reported: torso forward, hips/legs sideways on the
Woman clips). Spine/limb roles keep the bind-anchored baseline.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
The canonical frame's facing came from the hip line at the single
reference frame — a reference that catches the pelvis BLADED (running
mid-stride, seated twist) yaws the whole clip ~90 deg, so the retarget
renders the character sideways (user-reported on the Woman Run/Sit).
Average the hip line over ALL frames (horizontal component,
magnitude-weighted) and yaw-correct C so the mean lands on canonical
+X — the same treatment the up-leveling already applies to tilt.
Clips with square references are unchanged (mean == reference).

…954)

Two extraction fixes for whole-clip yaw:
1. The bind-vs-animation frame detection only compared torso UPRIGHTNESS
   — after the #954 import fix the up axes agree, so a bind whose FACING
   differs ~90 deg from the animations (Quaternius Woman) passed as a
   valid reference and yawed the whole canonical clip (Run/Sit rendered
   sideways while Walk was fine). Also compare the HIP LINE at bind vs
   the sampled animated frame (leveled, horizontal): > ~40 deg apart =>
   the bind is not a usable reference, search animated frames instead.
2. Reference-frame audit: whichever path picked the reference, if its
   hip line deviates > ~40 deg from the CLIP-MEAN hip line (a bladed
   mid-stride / seated twist), re-pick across all frames with a combined
   uprightness x facing-squareness score (fixed the Punch reference).

Plus clip-averaged FACING for C (mean hip line -> canonical +X), the
yaw analog of the existing clip-averaged up-leveling.

Verified on Rumba front views: Woman Run/Sit/Walk all face the camera;
all 8 Woman clips now carry lateral (+-X-dominant) collar references.

1392-1542: 🚀 Performance & Scalability | 🔵 Trivial | ⚖️ Poor tradeoff

Consider caching the per-frame hip line and torso-up once, then reusing it.

The case-(b) block and the facing-squareness audit compute the same clip-mean hip line and the same uprightness × squareness score twice. hipSquareness(f) also re-poses the skeleton for a frame the surrounding loop just posed, so each candidate frame is evaluated with two full reset + apply + _updateTransforms passes.

Extraction now walks the whole clip up to six times per animation. On a large motion library this cost multiplies per clip.

A single pre-pass that records hipLine[f] and torsoUp[f] would remove the duplication and most of the extra passes.

♻️ Suggested shape
// Once per clip, before reference selection:
std::vector<Ogre::Vector3> hipLineAt(frames, Ogre::Vector3::ZERO);
std::vector<Ogre::Vector3> torsoUpAt(frames, Ogre::Vector3::ZERO);
for (int f = 0; f < frames; ++f) {
    skel->reset(true);
    anim->apply(skel, std::min(length,
        static_cast<float>(f) / static_cast<float>(fps)));
    skel->_updateTransforms();
    if (roleBone[15] && roleBone[19])
        hipLineAt[f] = roleBone[19]->_getDerivedPosition()
                       - roleBone[15]->_getDerivedPosition();
    torsoUpAt[f] = torsoUpNow();
}
// Then derive meanHipLine, squareness and the re-pick score from the caches.

Pass cmuLibraryHandedness=false for the parity harness. extractCanonicalClips does not apply handedness compensation, but applyMotionClip(..., true) swaps L/R roles when the rig triggers the world-X check. This can mirror limbs during self-retargeting and produce a false parity error. Keep true for CMU/motion-library clips.

In `@src/CLIPipeline.cpp` around lines 2762 - 2764, Update the parity harness call
to extractCanonicalClips so its cmuLibraryHandedness argument is false,
preventing unintended L/R swapping during self-retargeting; retain true for CMU
or motion-library clip paths.
