REJECT — DESIGNER CORRECTION REQUIRED

Yaquelin tablet avatar
corrected full rerun

Fresh technical, export, rigging, facial, material, and visual review of /home/jabo/Avatar Yaquelin Final.blend on mcp4-gw2. The review was rerun from the unchanged source after correcting two reviewer errors: upper-arm geometry above the contracted crop line is allowed, and the prior Eevee render did not support the source cornea transmission shader. All visual evidence below is new and was rendered in Blender 5.2.1 Cycles with transmission enabled.

Executive result

The source is readable and the eyes are visually correct, but the asset is not yet ready for GW2 integration. The rerun confirms that the corneas are transparent and both irises render correctly. It also confirms all 52 canonical Apple ARKit targets, real nonzero facial deformation, correct camera orientation, the contracted body crop, and exactly five active meshes. Remaining corrections are objective: 46,049 triangles versus the required 60,000–80,000, sub-budget shortages for hair/inner eyes/corneas, an embedded 117-channel animation, an unstripped rig, invalid or excessive skin weights, insufficient source texture resolutions, missing micro-normal/UV2 content, and reproducible export warnings.
Correction to the prior report: the white eyes were caused by the audit renderer, not the asset. The cornea shader uses physical transmission (weight 1.0, IOR 1.3), and the diagnostic GLB preserves it through KHR_materials_transmission. The earlier white-eye images and rejection are withdrawn.

Blender-version clarification: Ubuntu 24.04's Blender 4.0.2 cannot read this newer whole-file format. Blender 5.2.1 opens it correctly. That initial failure was a reviewer-tool mismatch, not corruption in this replacement upload.

Fresh visual evidence

All six images below were rendered afresh from the unchanged source in the corrected 2026-08-28T21:05:44Z rerun using Blender 5.2.1 Cycles with transmission enabled. None are copied from the previous report or an E2E run.

Yaquelin neutral front render
Neutral front. Forward orientation, skin/clothing textures, irises, and transparent corneas render correctly. The visible upper-arm geometry is above the required crop line and is accepted.
Yaquelin ARKit expression render
ARKit expression. Jaw, smile, cheek, and brow targets produce substantial deformation. This verifies that the facial target work is real and should be preserved.
Yaquelin blink render
ARKit blink. Both eyelids respond correctly in the transmission-correct render.
Yaquelin neutral profile render
Profile. Confirms the shoulders-up form and contracted crop boundary. The upper-arm portion above that line is allowed. A protruding hair-card edge remains visible and should be cleaned up.
Yaquelin eye and face closeup
Corrected eye close-up. Brown irises, pupils, sclera, highlights, and transmitted cornea layers are visible. This supersedes the false white-eye evidence.
Yaquelin contracted body crop render
Body crop. The source terminates at the lower-sternum/third-rib band. Upper-arm geometry above that band is explicitly allowed by the restored contract.

Diagnostic web-export evidence

Structure

5 meshes

45 named nodes, 1 skin with 39 joints, 16 materials, 38 embedded images, and 16 material primitives.

Animation

117 channels

The embedded Default action survives a normal Blender GLB export. It must be removed at the source.

Exporter warnings

3 classes

Incorrect armature parenting, more than four influences, and ambiguous multiple image nodes per texture sampler.

Eye export

PASS

KHR_materials_transmission factor 1.0 and IOR 1.3 survive the fresh diagnostic export. The prior white result was an Eevee review-configuration error.

Required designer corrections

  1. Keep the verified 52 canonical ARKit targets and their existing names. Do not add CC4-extended targets, aliases, compatibility morphs, or animation clips.
  2. Preserve the contracted body crop: delete geometry only below the third-rib/lower-sternum line and retain the upper chest, clavicles, shoulders, neck, head, eyes, hair, and mouth components. Do not remove upper-arm geometry solely because it remains above that line.
  3. Bring the five-mesh asset into the specified 60,000–80,000 range, including hair at 25,000–35,000, inner eyes at the specified 5,000 target, and corneas at the specified 2,000 target.
  4. Increase the inner-eye and cornea topology to their specified triangle targets while preserving the currently correct eye appearance and the exact ARKit target names. Remove CC_Eye_Displacement_L/R weights and normalize those vertices to the retained eye bones.
  5. Preserve the current cornea transmission shader and visible iris appearance. Do not change the eyes in response to the withdrawn white-eye finding; engineering will qualify the derived runtime GLB.
  6. Strip upper-arm/twist bones and all unused lower-body, hand, finger, and toe vertex groups. Reweight any allowed above-crop arm geometry to the retained clavicle/shoulder structure, reparent the eye bones as specified, and limit every vertex to four effective normalized influences.
  7. Parent all five skinned meshes consistently to the retained armature and verify one shared bind pose. Remove the Yaquelin 3|Default action completely before export.
  8. Supply 4096 skin albedo/normal/ORM/SSS inputs and 2048 hair, eye, and teeth/tongue inputs. Add the required skin micro-normal on UV2; wire AO, roughness, and metallic so all ORM channels survive glTF conversion; and clean up hair alpha edges.
  9. Verify the .blend in a clean Blender 5.2 session: exactly five active meshes, the stripped skeleton, exactly 52 morph names, zero clips, the currently correct eye appearance, all source texture maps, and no skinning/export warnings. Engineering owns runtime tangent generation and final web packaging.
  10. Deliver the final clean .blend plus its associated source texture maps. This is the fixed designer-delivery format. Engineering will then generate the runtime GLB and perform meshopt geometry compression, KTX2/Basis texture compression, embedding, lighting, and GW2 qualification.
Work to retain: the asset is correctly camera-facing, follows the contracted body crop, has exactly five active category meshes, includes usable packed source images, stays under the body and teeth ceilings, renders the eyes correctly, and implements the exact native ARKit-52 inventory with visibly working facial deformations.
