jeremy d6f1587eb0 feat(rig-work): lena_leafbikini AccuRig rig bait (decimated FBX)
Decimated the leaf-bikini Lena ancestor to a 77,999-tri AccuRig-loadable FBX
(body 24k / head 14k / hands 40k via tools/rigbait_decimate.py) — same recipe
and tri budget as lena_tripo_rigbait. Disposable skeleton carrier, never
shipped. QA renders confirm A-pose region cuts landed and fingers are distinct.

characters/rig-work — disposable AccuRig rig carriers

Decimated FBX copies of the unrigged Tripo bodies whose only job is to carry a skeleton out of AccuRig and back. AccuRig refuses the raw ~1.9M-tri FBX outright (confirmed 2026-08-04), so the bait exists purely to be small enough to rig.

Never ship a file from this folder. The graft takes geometry and materials from the pristine GLB and only the skeleton from the bait — see .agents/plans/rig-graft-lane-2026-08-04.md for the lane.

Per ../REGISTRY.md rule 11 this folder is exempt from the filename grammar and gets no Derived-artifacts rows; the grafted body's notes column names the bait its skeleton came from. The tool-era names are kept on purpose so these stay recognisable as throwaway.

Current contents (built 2026-08-04, moved here from ariki-game 2026-08-06)

file tris notes
lena_tripo_rigbait.fbx 77,999 from originals/female/female_lena_tripo.glb
lena_leafbikini_tripo_rigbait.fbx 77,999 from originals/female/female_lena_leafbikini_tripo.glb (2026-08-13); leaf-bikini garment sculpted on — fine for AccuRig (silhouette only), fingers distinct
mako_tripo_rigbait.fbx 78,000 from originals/male/male_base_bald_tripo_v1.glb
*_qa_front.png, *_qa_hand.png QA renders; fingers fully distinct, no webbing

Built with tools/rigbait_decimate.py: region budgets body 24k / head 14k / hands 40k, no scale and no recenter (native ~0.98 m, feet at Z=0).

These two have hands. The lane is being rebuilt with the hands cut and a GLB sibling emitted from the same decimation; when that lands, these are superseded.

Traps

  • Baits are geometry-only (~3.5 MB — a GLB's packed textures don't survive the FBX embed), so AccuRig shows a grey model. That's fine for rigging, but it means the July "Dummy001 export" check can't use textures: verify AccuRig's output by mesh name + tri count instead.
  • AccuRig exports come back to this folder as <character>_tripo_accurig.fbx.
  • These files used to live in ariki-game/assets/models/characters/rig-work/ and needed a .gdignore to stop Godot importing them. Nothing here is a game asset; that is precisely why the folder moved.
