Pure-animation FBX (no meshes, skeleton clips only) was rejected at
the cache layer: ParsedModel::Valid() required non-empty meshes, so
Model::FromParsed/LoadModel returned null and the asset never made it
into the cache. Animation assets are now first-class:
- ParsedModel::Valid() = meshes or clips non-empty; parse failures
(both empty) still rejected. Empty-mesh consumers already guarded
(rendering skips empty mesh loop, mesh collider falls back to Box)
- ParseFromDisk: fix null-deref when assimp returns a null scene
- AssetCache::Find(path) + AssetManager::GetModelByPath for panels
- Asset Browser hover card shows meshes/bones/clips for loaded models
- Inspector model line flags "animation-only" when meshes == 0
- Animation section: collapsible clip data table (name/duration/
channel count) to verify bone-name matching of attached clips
Dragging rotation hit a wall at the wrap point: each frame re-read
euler from the quat and wrapped to [0,360), so dragging past 360
snapped the display back to 0 (and backwards dragging wrapped up to
360) -- values "jumped around" instead of accumulating.
Port UE TransformDetails session semantics: the rotation row shows a
local mirror value while the user edits it (accumulating freely in
both directions, never wrapping), and re-syncs from the quat only on
foreign changes (gizmo drag, physics writeback, entity switch).
Detection is exact component-wise quat equality: the mirror quat comes
from the same QuatFromEuler used by SetRotation, so an untouched pair
compares bit-equal, while any foreign writeback -- including sub-0.05
degree gizmo steps that a dot-product threshold would miss -- differs
in at least one float. Edit frames skip the check (mirror leads the
quat by one drag delta), gated on the previous frame's item-active
state.
Typing 90 degrees on the pitch axis showed 89.98. The stored quat is
exact (matrices differ by 0.0) -- the noise is display-side: quat's
sin(90) components square to 0.99999994 in float, and asin() diverges
at |sin|->1, amplifying 6e-8 into 0.02 degrees. Yaw/roll use atan2 and
were always exact, matching the user's report being X-axis only.
Two fixes, both aligned with how UE gets away with it (internally UE
is quat + equally pathological, its Details panel just shows one
decimal):
- GetRotation gimbal-lock threshold 1.0 -> 1-1e-6: pitch near +-90
now takes the composite-angle atan2 branch (ratio-stable) instead
of asin, so typing 90.0 reads back exactly 90.0. Probed: X=90 and
X=-90 now round-trip to 0 error; generic poses stay ~1e-6 deg.
- Rotation row shows one decimal ("%.1f", UE Details default), masking
the residual asin noise for angles near (not at) the pole; Ctrl+Click
input stays full precision. Negative zero from atan2 cleaned up.
Remaining asin noise for e.g. 89.9 (~9e-4 deg) is below the 1-decimal
display and unreachable in practice.
Animation-only FBX files (no mesh, clips only) could not be used:
clips are keyed by node index into the parsed model's node table, so
there was no path to get them onto a different model's skeleton.
Add AssetManager::AttachAnimationClips: parses the container with the
CPU-only path (no GPU upload -- empty meshes cannot build a Model),
remaps each clip's channels to the target model's node indices by
bone name, and appends to its clip list. Channels whose bone name is
absent are skipped and counted; clips with zero matching channels are
dropped. Same-source attach is idempotent via a new
AnimationClip::sourcePath marker; name clashes get the file stem
prefixed.
Inspector Animation block gains an attach slot (UE Details semantics)
listing model-container files plus a bullet list of attached sources;
already-attached paths are replayed idempotently when the entity is
selected, so clips survive restarts. The paths persist in the scene
(Animation.Attached); the clips themselves stay runtime state.
Limitations (documented, by design): same-skeleton retargeting only
-- bone names must match between source and target (same DCC export
or Mixamo-style per-animation downloads); cross-skeleton retargeting
is out of scope.
Mesh Renderer was missing from the Add Component menu and its model
reference was read-only, so a mesh could only be attached by loading
a saved scene. Add it to the menu (Unity Add Component semantics) and
give the block a UE-Details-style asset slot: a dropdown listing all
model files under assets/, selecting applies LoadModel (cache deduped).
Asset browser files now show a UE Content Browser style hover card:
kind, size, modified time, and loaded state (new AssetCache::Contains
query, read-only -- hovering never triggers loading).
Fix latent FATALs unlocked by manual assignment: AssetCache::Get
aborts on invalid handles, so rendering, animation sampling, and mesh
collider build now guard mr.model.Valid() before calling it.
The per-entity script list allowed picking the same script class
twice; the name-keyed runtime silently ignores duplicates, leaving
the extra rows dead weight with unusable enable bits. Enforce
DisallowMultipleComponent semantics: the dropdown of each row only
offers unattached names (own name kept for echo), "+ Add Script"
disables when every registered script is attached, and scene loading
dedupes as a safety net for hand-edited files.
ScriptComponent now holds a list of {name, active} items (Unity
semantics: one entity, many scripts, each with its own enable bit;
component-level active stays as the master switch). ScriptRuntime
reconciles instances by name per entity -- rename/remove destroys
only the affected instances, untouched ones keep ticking. Scenes
persist Script.Items; old single-script key still loads.
AssetBrowserPanel (lightweight Unity Project window): fixed roots
(assets/scenes) as tabs, recursive directory tree, file list with
type filter (models/textures/scenes) and name substring filter,
double-click preloads models/HDRs into the asset caches (path-
deduped). Scene files point to the File menu for now; drag & drop
is a later iteration. Docked with Stats by default in fresh layouts.
UE calls it Trigger (Overlap Events / Trigger preset) and Unity's UI
says "Is Trigger"; "sensor" is the physics-backend term (Jolt sensor,
Box2D sensor). Rename the component/record flag and the Inspector
label. Scene files now persist "IsTrigger" with backward-compatible
read of the old "IsSensor" key.
ScriptComponent stores only a script name string (POD, serializable);
instances are reconciled by ScriptRuntime each frame (PhysicsWorld
pattern): orphan/rename cleanup with OnDestroy, per-name instantiation
from a file-level self-registering registry (ENGINE_REGISTER_SCRIPT),
OnCreate on bind, OnUpdate after physics step on scaled dt. Engine
framerate loop only sees the base interface, so future Lua/C# behaviors
plug in as foreign ScriptBehavior implementations with zero engine
changes. Ships a Spinner sample script and Inspector script picker.
- JointComponent: type, target UUID, per-body local anchors, hinge axis
+ angle limits (data only, zero Jolt deps)
- PhysicsWorld::SyncConstraints: create/remove/rebuild on snapshot
change; body rebuild contagion via invalidated-bits list; target
resolved lazily by UUID each sync (no two-pass load needed)
- Jolt FixedConstraint/HingeConstraint/PointConstraint in
LocalToBodyCOM space (anchors minus shape COM); fixed frames lock
creation-time relative pose; hinge axis aligned across bodies
- Inspector: Joint section with target entity name dropdown
- Serialization: Joint map with UUID target, as<T> fallbacks
EditorCamera (UE FEditorViewportClient semantics) owned by SceneRenderer:
own TransformComponent + reused Camera controller. BuildFrame dispatches
render source by display mode — editor form always renders from the
editor camera (usable in empty scenes), game form renders from the
scene's primary camera entity. AlignTo copies an entity pose into the
editor camera ("Align Viewport to Camera" button in Inspector). F focus
and viewport gizmo now follow the same dispatch. main.cpp stripped of
dangling sandbox camera/spinner state; onSceneLoaded hook removed.
