## Mechanical Constraints

### Joint Limits (Realistic Mechanical Movement)

**Elbow Joints:**
- Type: Hinge joint
- Range: 0° to 150°
- Prevents over-extension

**Knee Joints:**
- Type: Hinge joint
- Range: 0° to 140°
- Prevents backward bending

**Spine Segments:**
- X-axis: ±30° (forward/backward lean)
- Y-axis: ±45° (side-to-side twist)
- Z-axis: ±30° (rotation)
- Limited for mechanical rigidity

**Head/Sensor Array:**
- X-axis: ±60° (pitch)
- Y-axis: ±90° (yaw)
- Z-axis: ±45° (roll)
- Full tracking range

## Mech Types

**Features:**
- Minimal armor plates
- Fast movement joints
- Single weapon mount per arm
- Basic thruster system

### Medium Mech (Default)
**Keywords:** mech, robot, combat, battle
**Bones:** ~65 bones
**Features:**

## Automatic Detection

The system automatically detects mech type from your prompt:

```python
# Examples:
"scout mech" → Light Mech (55 bones)
"battle mech" → Medium Mech (65 bones)
"heavy assault mech" → Heavy Mech (70 bones)
"flying combat mech" → Flying Mech (75 bones + wings)
```

**Detection Keywords:**
- Mech: mech, mecha, gundam, robot, titan, jaeger, mobile suit
- Light: scout, light, fast, recon, agile
- Heavy: heavy, assault, tank, fortress, juggernaut
- Flying: flying, aerial, flight, hover, vtol, jet

## Bone Naming Convention

All bones follow game engine standards:

```
DEF-<bone_name>.<side>

Examples:
- DEF-root (root bone)
- DEF-pelvis (hip pivot)
- DEF-spine.001 (spine segment 1)
- DEF-shoulder.L (left shoulder)
- DEF-elbow.R (right elbow)
- DEF-weapon_mount.L (left weapon hardpoint)
- DEF-thruster.L (left thruster)
- DEF-wing.01.R (right wing segment 1)
```

**DEF- prefix:** Deformation bones (used by game engine)
**Control bones removed:** Only deformation bones exported

## Pivot Points (Mechanical Accuracy)

### Shoulder Pivot
- Location: Upper chest, offset from center
- Purpose: Arm attachment point
- Movement: Full 360° rotation

### Elbow Pivot
- Location: Mid-arm
- Purpose: Forearm hinge
- Movement: 0-150° (forward only)

### Wrist Pivot
- Location: Forearm end
- Purpose: Hand rotation
- Movement: Full 360° rotation

### Hip Pivot
- Location: Pelvis, offset from center
- Purpose: Leg attachment point
- Movement: Full 360° rotation

### Knee Pivot
- Location: Mid-leg
- Purpose: Shin hinge
- Movement: 0-140° (forward only)

### Ankle Pivot
- Location: Shin end
- Purpose: Foot rotation
- Movement: Limited range for stability

## Usage in Pipeline

### Automatic (Recommended)
```python
# In app.py, when auto_rig=True:
from blender_processor import process_with_rigging

success, message = process_with_rigging(
    input_glb="raw_model.glb",
    output_glb="rigged_mech.glb",
    prompt="heavy assault mech",  # Auto-detects type
    auto_rig=True
)

# Output: Rigged heavy mech with 70 bones, mechanical constraints
```

### Manual (Advanced)
```python
from mech_rigify_advanced import generate_mech_rigify_script

# Generate custom mech rig
script = generate_mech_rigify_script(
    input_path="model.glb",
    output_path="rigged.glb",
    mech_type="flying"  # light, medium, heavy, flying
)

# Run in Blender
subprocess.run(["blender", "--background", "--python", script_path])
```

## Output Includes

When you generate a mech with auto-rigging enabled:

1. **Rigged Mesh** - Bound to skeleton with automatic weights
2. **Custom Skeleton** - Mech-specific bones with mechanical pivots
3. **Mechanical Constraints** - Joint limits for realistic movement
4. **LOD Levels** - 4 levels (100%, 70%, 40%, 15%)

## Integration with Existing Pipeline

The mech rigging system is **fully integrated** with your existing pipeline:

```
Text Prompt → FLUX (2D) → Hunyuan3D (3D) → Blender (Optimize + Rig) → Game-Ready
```

**No changes needed to your workflow!**

Just enable `auto_rig=True` when generating, and the system:
1. Detects if it's a mech from the prompt
2. Determines mech type (light/medium/heavy/flying)
3. Applies custom skeleton with mechanical pivots
4. Adds joint constraints
5. Generates LODs and collision
6. Exports game-ready GLB

from blender_processor import process_with_rigging

success, message = process_with_rigging(
    input_glb="test_mech.glb",
    output_glb="rigged_mech.glb",
    prompt="heavy assault mech",
    auto_rig=True
)

print(message)
# Output: "Rigged heavy mech (70 bones, 18.5 MB)"
```

## Deployment

The mech rigging system is **ready to deploy** with your Blender integration:

```powershell
cd huggingface-space
