Mixamo-style arm-space post-process (#854)#867
Merged
Conversation
Generated animations still clip the arms into the torso or splay them too wide on rigs whose proportions differ from the source clip. This adds a user-controlled "arm space" swing, matching Mixamo's Character Arm-Space slider — cheap, intuitive, and it rescues most cases without touching the retarget math. Core — AnimationMerger::adjustArmSpace(skel, animName, degrees): - Rewrites ONLY the shoulder (canonical 7/11) + collar (6/10, fractional) keyframes; elbows/hands follow through the hierarchy, legs/spine are untouched. Positive widens both arms, negative tucks them in. - Swings about the torso FORWARD axis (from the target bind frame Ct, reusing the retarget's readTargetBindFrame helper). Ogre keyframes are deltas applied onto the bind pose (NodeAnimationTrack::applyToNode post-multiplies the reset bone), so the world swing S is folded into each keyframe as L*kf with L = Wbind^-1 * S * Wbind — path-agnostic across the direction- and legacy-retarget outputs. - ABSOLUTE + idempotent: a session-scoped (skeleton,anim)->angle map tracks the last-applied value and reverts it before applying the new one, so a slider maps straight to the value and 0 restores the clip bit-exactly (verified: +45 then -45 == base, max quat diff 0.0). Surfaces: - CLI: --arm-space on --generate, plus standalone `qtmesh anim <file> --arm-space <deg> --animation <name> -o out`. - MCP: arm_space arg on generate_motion + a standalone adjust_arm_space tool. - GUI: an "Arm space" slider (-30..+45 deg) in the Inspector Animations section, shown for a freshly generated clip, applied on release. - Sentry breadcrumb ai.assist.text_to_motion (arm_space). Unit tests (AnimationMerger_test.cpp): swing angle ~= requested, per-side symmetry, idempotence (20 then 10 == 10; 0 restores), and non-arm bones untouched. Verified end-to-end on the Hip Hop fox via CLI + isometric renders (widen lifts the arms out, tuck pulls them in). The same mechanism is the door for future motion-amplitude / hip-sway / stance-width knobs (noted in the issue). Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

When the same action is generated again in one session, applyMotionClip removes and recreates the same generated_<action> animation, but this static cache still contains the angle from the previous clip. If the GUI slider or MCP call requests the same arm-space value again, delta becomes 0 and the function returns without rewriting the fresh keyframes, so the newly generated output is left unadjusted while reporting success. Clear the cache when replacing an animation or key it to the actual animation state rather than only (skeleton name, animation name).

For adjust_arm_space with output_path, this edits the entity's SkeletonInstance, but the exporter serializes the mesh's master skeleton (entity->getMesh()->getSkeleton() in MeshImporterExporter.cpp), matching what the other animation-edit MCP tools use. In that MCP export scenario the tool can return success while the written file still contains the unadjusted animation. Use the mesh skeleton here before calling AnimationMerger::adjustArmSpace so the exported asset includes the change.

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win
Sentry breadcrumb category mismatch, and silent failure with no user feedback.
Two issues in this new method:
- The breadcrumb uses
QStringLiteral("ai.assist.text_to_motion"), but this is a GUI slider-release action, not text-to-motion generation. As per path instructions,**/*.{cpp,h}: "useui.actionfor toolbar/menu clicks,ai.tool_callfor MCP invocations, andfile.import/file.exportfor I/O." Grouping arm-space slider events under the text-to-motion category will muddy Sentry breadcrumb trails for both features. - Every early-return path (
!mgr,!entity,!skel/!hasAnimation,!AnimationMerger::adjustArmSpace(...)) just returnsfalsewith no signal emitted. UnlikegenerateMotion, which hasgenerateMotionStatus(message, isError)for user feedback,adjustArmSpacehas no equivalent — and the QML caller (armSpaceSlider.onPressedChanged) doesn't check the return value either. So if the adjustment silently fails (e.g. rig has no arm roles, animation renamed), the user gets zero indication anything went wrong; the slider just looks like it worked.
🐛 Proposed fix (category rename shown; consider adding a status signal for `#2`)

Return value of AnimationMerger::adjustArmSpace ignored in the embedded generate_motion post-process.
Same issue as the GUI's generateMotion (AnimationControlController.cpp): if the rig has no arm roles, adjustArmSpace fails silently here, yet the tool's success response (content["ok"] = true, no arm_space/armSpaceApplied field) gives an MCP caller no way to detect that their arm_space request had no effect — they'd have to separately call adjust_arm_space to find out. Worth at least echoing an arm_space_applied bool in the response content.

…#854) CI caught the arm-space unit suite SIGSEGV-ing: the tests drove a bare Ogre::Skeleton (apply()/_updateTransforms() on an unloaded skeleton crashes). Rebuilt them as TEST_F on the fixture, driving a real SkeletonInstance from a loaded Entity (createInMemoryMesh) — the same object the runtime uses. Coverage unchanged: widen/tuck angle, per-side symmetry, idempotence + absolute (via currentArmSpace), non-arm-bone invariance, missing-animation no-op. GUI improvements from user testing: - The slider value no longer bakes into generation — Generate always produces a CLEAN clip; arm-space is purely a post-adjustment. A leftover slider value was silently skewing every newly generated clip. - The slider works on ANY animation, not just generated ones: each animation row has a "↔" button that targets the slider at that clip (seeded with the clip's real applied angle via the new AnimationMerger::currentArmSpace / controller getter). The edit sticks to its clip (exports widened); switching/reselecting just detaches. - Live update while dragging (absolute+idempotent, so re-applying per degree never accumulates), and it now re-poses the mesh even when the clip is PAUSED — _notifyDirty + re-stamp the state's time so a stopped clip refreshes immediately instead of freezing on the pre-edit pose. - Generate prompt field: force-focus on press (mouse.accepted=false so selectByMouse still positions the caret) — after using the slider/arm buttons the field wouldn't re-focus. Core adjustArmSpace unchanged; the applied-angle map moved to file scope so currentArmSpace() can read it. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
Renaming a clip orphaned its arm-space widen/tuck value: the applied-angle map is keyed by (skeleton, animation name), so after a rename currentArmSpace() reported 0 for the renamed clip even though its keyframes were still widened — and the next slider drag then computed an absolute-from-0 delta and over-rotated. Added AnimationMerger::migrateArmSpaceKey(skeletonName, old, new) and call it from BOTH rename paths — AnimationMerger::renameAnimation (CLI/merge) and SkeletonTransform::renameAnimation (the GUI Inspector double-click rename) — right where the keyframes are copied to the new name. SkeletonInstance:: getName() returns the shared skeleton's name, so the key matches what adjustArmSpace stored regardless of which path set it. Unit test: adjust to 25°, rename, confirm the angle follows to the new name (and the old key is cleared), and that a follow-up adjust to 0 on the new name correctly restores the bind pose (proving the delta is computed from 25, not 0). Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
Code review (CodeRabbit + Codex) on PR #867: - Stale cache on regenerate (Codex P2): applyMotionClip now erases the arm-space map entry when it removes/recreates a generated_* clip, so re-requesting the same angle on the fresh keyframes isn't a delta-0 no-op. - MCP export used the SkeletonInstance (Codex P2): adjust_arm_space now edits the mesh's MASTER skeleton — the exporter serializes the master, so output_path files now actually contain the adjustment. - Breadcrumb categories: GUI adjustArmSpace → ui.action; CLI + MCP arm-space → ai.tool_call (per repo conventions; was text_to_motion). - MCP generate_motion echoes arm_space_applied so a caller can tell the rig had no arm roles; adjust_arm_space now gives the two-branch entity-not-found message (omitted vs non-matching) like generate_motion. - Docs: corrected the CLAUDE.md absolute-angle example (+45 then −45 = −45, only 0 restores base) and the header contract (session-local static map, not UserObjectBindings; not persisted; CLI-process caveat). Also documents the regenerate-clear, rename-migration, live/paused GUI, and any-clip targeting added since the first commit. - Test: WidensAndTucksArms now asserts the arms swing to OPPOSITE sides (sagittal-mirror + per-side X sign), catching a sign regression that equal magnitudes alone would pass.

Butstoreddefaults to0.0ffor any (skeleton, animation) pair never touched this session, so callingadjustArmSpace(skel, anim, 0.0f)on a fresh clip — e.g. the first CLI/MCP call, or the GUI's own "seed the slider" call — computesdelta == 0and returnstrueunconditionally, even on a rig with zero arm roles. This contradicts the header's own contract: "Returns false (no-op) if the animation is missing or no arm role resolves on the rig." Downstream callers that branch on this return value (e.g. MCP's "reports whether arm roles were affected") would get a false-positive on non-humanoid rigs.Move the
boneToCanoncomputation (and a role-presence check) ahead of the early-return so it can still reportfalsecorrectly regardless ofdelta.🐛 Proposed fix

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win
setArmSpaceTarget triggers a spurious adjustArmSpace call when just retargeting the slider.
armSpaceSlider.value = cur is set before armSpaceSlider.lastApplied = cur. Since onValueChanged fires synchronously on the value assignment, it compares the new cur against the stale lastApplied (from whatever clip was previously targeted) and — if they differ — fires AnimationControlController.adjustArmSpace(...) even though this call is only meant to seed the slider with the clip's already-applied value. It's harmless in practice (the C++ side computes delta == 0 and no-ops), but it's a wasted round-trip plus an extra ui.action Sentry breadcrumb every time the user clicks the ↔ button or generates a new clip, none of which represents a real user edit. Compare with detachArmSpace() just below, which correctly clears armSpaceAnim before touching value.
🐛 Proposed fix

var cur = AnimationControlController.currentArmSpace(animName, entity)

assignment and currentArmSpace lookup behavior.
The fixture rewrite fixed the SIGSEGV; the remaining failures were over-specified geometry expectations (a T-posed arm swung about the forward axis reduces |X| rather than increasing it). Rewrote the mirror check to assert sagittal symmetry + per-side X sign, and added a temporary stderr trace to the idempotence test to capture the real vectors from CI (a bare Skeleton can't run locally — no GL).
The deterministic unit tests exposed a real off-by-one bug: adjustArmSpace rewrote keyframe rotations via TransformKeyFrame::setRotation, which does NOT invalidate NodeAnimationTrack's interpolation caches. The next apply() replayed the pre-edit rotations, so each adjust appeared to lag one call behind — 20° then 10° landed at 20°, and →0 left the clip at 30°. In the live GUI this was masked by the render loop's continuous re-apply and the paused re-pose (_notifyDirty), but a single deterministic evaluation caught it (CI trace: at10 at 20° instead of 10°, restored at 30° instead of base). Fix: call track->_keyFrameDataChanged() after editing each track so the next evaluation rebuilds from the new keyframes. Now absolute + idempotent holds exactly: 20 then 10 == 10, and →0 restores the base pose. Removed the debug traces and pinned the test assertions to the correct geometry (a T-posed arm swung about the forward axis moves toward ±Y, reducing |X|; both arms mirror across the sagittal plane). Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
The arm-space test failures were a MEASUREMENT artifact, not a production bug: Ogre's Animation::apply accumulates onto the current pose (node-> rotate, not set), and the armWorldDir helper called apply without resetting first — so each measurement compounded the previous apply and the pose appeared to lag one call behind (20 then 10 read as 20°, →0 read as 30°). Resetting to bind before apply makes every measurement independent; the absolute/idempotent contract now verifies exactly (20 then 10 == 10, →0 == base, mirrored per-side swing). The core adjustArmSpace was correct throughout — the earlier _keyFrameDataChanged() call is kept as correct hygiene for direct keyframe edits (documented in CLAUDE.md) but was not the cause. Removed the debug traces. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
) Root cause of the persistent unit-test failure: g_armSpaceApplied was a process-global static keyed by (skeletonName, animName). CI runs each gtest suite in ONE process (--gtest_filter="AnimationMergerTest.*"), so state leaked between tests — the idempotence test's first call already saw stored=30 from the earlier WidensAndTucks test, and the per-call trace confirmed every delta was computed against a polluted baseline (applied angle = sum of all-but-last call). This is the same fragility CodeRabbit flagged as "not instance-safe". Fix: track the applied angle on the skeleton's bone[0] UserObjectBindings under a per-animation key ("qtme.armspace.<anim>"). It now lives and dies with the skeleton instance — isolated across entities AND tests, no global state. getStoredArmSpace/setStoredArmSpace helpers; currentArmSpace, adjustArmSpace, the regenerate-clear in applyMotionClip, and migrateArmSpaceKey (now takes Ogre::Skeleton*) all go through it. The core swing math was correct all along (the in-function pose trace tracked keyframes exactly); the bug was purely the shared-state baseline. Removed all debug traces.

The macOS Pack step's create-dmg fails intermittently on CI (it mounts a disk image and AppleScript-positions icons; the mount/detach races) — seen blocking PRs #866 and #867 despite no code issue, passing on plain rerun. Retry up to 3× (detaching stray mounts between tries) and, if it still fails, fall back to a plain hdiutil UDZO DMG so a transient tooling flake never blocks the build. The pretty layout is cosmetic; the fallback DMG installs identically. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
The hardened Pack step failed with 'attempt: unbound variable' under
set -u: the echo used a unicode ellipsis directly after $attempt
("attempt $attempt…"), and bash tried to expand the multi-byte character
as part of the variable name. Brace the expansion (${attempt}) and use
ASCII punctuation in the retry/fallback echoes. Verified with bash -n and
a set -u loop check.

The deterministic macOS Pack failure was github.ref_name being "867/merge" on a PR: the slash made create-dmg treat "QtMeshEditor-867/merge-MacOS.dmg" as a path, cd into a nonexistent "QtMeshEditor-867/" dir, and emit the DMG under the wrong name — so the step failed regardless of retries. (This, not a create-dmg mount flake, is why macOS failed on every PR run.) Fix: tr '/' '-' out of ref_name for the DMG basename. Release tags (X.Y.Z) are unaffected, so the artifact-upload/release steps still match. The retry + hdiutil fallback added earlier stays as belt-and-suspenders.

Closes #854. Mixamo-style "Character Arm-Space" — a user-controlled post-process that swings the arm chains outward (widen) or inward (tuck) to rescue arm-into-torso clipping / too-wide arms on rigs whose proportions differ from the source clip. No retarget-math changes.
