feat(runner): replace the runner Hoppy with the CodeRabbit hero rabbit model - #102
The Endless Runner now shows the artist's low-poly CodeRabbit hero rabbit (white, orange and black armour, chest emblem, orange cape) in place of the procedural Blender Hoppy. It keeps all 13 runner clips, the gameplay and the hitboxes.
How
The handover has a neutral-pose OBJ, four static pose OBJs, TGA textures and a Maya 2027 ASCII rig. The rig has no keyframed clips, and it can't be exported to FBX or glTF without Maya. As agreed, the mesh is auto-rigged to Hoppy's existing skeleton:
tools/blender/prep_hoppy_hero_textures.py downsizes the TGAs to 1024 px PNGs (eyes 512 px) in Assets/runner/hoppy_hero/source/. It builds a glTF ORM from the mixmap: roughness from G, no baked occlusion, no metal.
tools/blender/build_hoppy_hero.py:
scales the mesh to Hoppy's 1.8 m ear-tip height and turns it to face -Z
builds the same 33-bone skeleton (names and bone rolls) on the rabbit's own joints
skins each mesh part with bone-heat weights, limited to the bones that part may follow
retargets every clip from Assets/runner/hoppy/hoppy.glb. Each bone's rotation is re-expressed in the new rest frame, and root and hips travel scales with the shorter legs.
lifts the root wherever a pose would dip under the deck
swings raised arms outward until the paws clear the much bigger head (victory, power-up)
gives the splayed ears 45% of Hoppy's ear motion
keeps the eyeballs on the eye bones, so blink and squint still work
adds a four-segment LED band across the cape, so the power-up meter still works. It's invisible until lit.
hoppy_runner_visual.tscn now instances Assets/runner/hoppy_hero/hoppy_hero.glb. hifi/hoppy_roll.tres is re-baked against the new skin: roll bounds y 0.012 to 0.744 m, inside the 0.9 m envelope.
a1_check.gd adds hero provenance, census and ORM checks. A few targets tuned to Hoppy's proportions are adapted:
eye depth
elbow band, by 0.02 rad
"paws above the ear tips" becomes "paws flung past the head silhouette", because this rabbit's ears outreach its arms
capture_a1.gd uses the same victory measure
Cape and ear physics (second commit)
hifi/sway_rig.gd is a spring rig that runs after the clips. Lane changes, jumps, landings and the clips' own motion make the cape and ears lag, overshoot and settle.
The cape is heavy and under-damped, so it swings behind the stride and back past rest after a dash. Running air streams it back and makes it flutter.
The ears are stiff: they ride the stride and whip on dashes and jumps.
Each link has a swing limit, the cape can't swing forward into the body, and the slide damps the swing to 35%.
The cape and ear skin weights are now hand-tuned gradients in build_hoppy_hero.py, replacing the automatic weights there.
New tests/runner_sway_check.gd (61 checks) and a contact-strip fixture, dev/capture_sway.gd.
Verification
Full suite: uv run --python 3.12 --no-project python tools/tests/run_tests.py --godot …/Godot gives 66 passed, 0 failed, 8 skipped (skips are set in suites.toml). Soles stay planted at 120 Hz in every grounded clip, and the dash lean, jump tuck, face rig and LED meter checks pass.
Graphical capture: Godot --always-on-top --path hoppys-adventure-arcade --script res://scenes/runner/player/dev/capture_a1.gd. The corridor, chase, face, LED and roll views look right, and the palette and fur guards pass. The capture still exits FAIL on one check, "CPU chase projection disagrees with the camera" (about 53 px). That check fails the same way on main with the old Hoppy (52 px), so this change didn't cause it.
Follow-ups
The chase-camera projection check in capture_a1.gd fails on main too.
If the artist can export the Maya rig and clips to FBX or glTF, the auto-rig and retarget could be replaced with their own animation.
The brow and mouth-corner face bones have no geometry on this mesh, so only eye expressions show.
Summary by CodeRabbit
Updates
Refreshed Hoppy’s character model and animations, including the rolling pose.
Added responsive cape and ear movement during gameplay.
Hoppy keeps a normal pose during the run-intro title beat; victory poses remain for stage clears and boss defeats.
Documentation
Updated asset references, attribution, and guidance for the refreshed character model, its animations, and movement.
…t model
The artist handover (low-poly caped CodeRabbit rabbit) shipped a neutral-pose
OBJ and TGA textures; its Maya rig cannot be exported here, so the model is
auto-rigged to the procedural Hoppy's 33-bone skeleton and keeps every runner
clip, the gameplay and the hitboxes.
- tools/blender/prep_hoppy_hero_textures.py: TGA -> 1024 px PNG, mixmap G ->
glTF ORM roughness (no baked occlusion, no metal).
- tools/blender/build_hoppy_hero.py: scales the mesh to the 1.8 m ear-tip
height and -Z facing, builds the same-named skeleton on the rabbit's joints,
bone-heat skins each part against its allowed bones, and retargets all 13
clips from Assets/runner/hoppy/hoppy.glb (rest-frame basis change, travel
scaled to the shorter legs, root lifted where a pose dips under the deck,
raised arms swung clear of the big head, ears damped). The cape keeps a
four-segment LED band for the power-up meter.
- hoppy_runner_visual.tscn instances Assets/runner/hoppy_hero/hoppy_hero.glb;
the baked roll is re-baked against the new skin.
- a1_check / capture_a1: hero provenance and census checks; Hoppy-specific
targets (eye depth, elbow band, paws above the ear tips) adapted to the
rabbit's proportions.

Summary
Prepare textures and build the hero model hoppys-adventure-arcade/tools/blender/prep_hoppy_hero_textures.py, hoppys-adventure-arcade/tools/blender/build_hoppy_hero.py, hoppys-adventure-arcade/Assets/runner/hoppy_hero/hoppy_hero.build.json, docs/endless-runner.md
The texture script prepares resized texture maps. The Blender script builds and validates a rigged GLB using Hoppy’s skeleton and 13 clips, then records build metrics and provenance. The documentation describes the workflow.
Import and connect the hero asset hoppys-adventure-arcade/Assets/runner/hoppy_hero/*, hoppys-adventure-arcade/scenes/runner/player/hoppy_runner_visual.tscn, hoppys-adventure-arcade/scenes/runner/player/hifi/hoppy_roll.tres, ASSETS_LICENSES.md, hoppys-adventure-arcade/Assets/runner/LICENSES.md, docs/endless-runner.md
Godot import settings are added for the hero model and textures. The runner scene instances the hero GLB, and the roll animation keyframes are updated. Asset inventories and documentation describe the hero asset and build process.
Add cape and ear sway hoppys-adventure-arcade/scenes/runner/player/hifi/sway_rig.gd, hoppys-adventure-arcade/scenes/runner/player/hoppy_runner_visual.gd, hoppys-adventure-arcade/tests/runner_sway_check.gd, hoppys-adventure-arcade/scenes/runner/player/dev/capture_sway.gd
A skeleton modifier simulates cape and ear motion from spring-driven links. The runner visual supplies wind and sway settings. Test and capture scripts exercise and record the motion.
Asset checks validate hero metadata, animation clips, import settings, and triangle counts. Animation thresholds and victory-pose measurements are adjusted. The title beat no longer forwards a celebration to the visual. Capture scripts wait for scene readiness, handle pauses and boss timing, and save 1280×720 images.

Merge Risk: Low · up to c7f50
The runner now shows the new hero rabbit. One graphical asset-check fixture may pick a pose that differs from the one its victory check validates, which could cause a false failure in that dev check. Gameplay is not affected, so this is a small follow-up rather than a merge blocker.

Explanation
The title "feat(runner): replace the runner Hoppy with the CodeRabbit hero rabbit model" matches the main change in the changeset. The PR swaps the procedural Hoppy model for the hero rabbit GLB in HoppyRunnerVisual, adds the build and texture scripts, and re-rigs and retargets the clips. It follows the Conventional Commits format from the repository template.
Full details: Description check
Explanation
The description follows the template's main sections. The Summary section ('What' and 'How') explains the change and its rationale, but it does not link an issue with 'Closes #123'. The Testing section lists the exact command and results. The Screenshots/video section is missing, although the change is visual. The checklist is absent. The PR also adds a sway rig and tests, and the description covers these in its second-commit section. ASSETS_LICENSES.md and docs updates are included in the diff summaries, but the description does not mention them. Overall the description is mostly complete, but it lacks a visual capture or screenshot, and it does not confirm the checklist items.
Resolution
Optionally add screenshots or video of the hero model in the runner, since the change is visual. Link the related issue with 'Closes #N' if one exists. Confirm the checklist items, including the ASSETS_LICENSES.md entry and the docs updates in docs/endless-runner.md and docs/endless-runner-contract.md.

- hifi/sway_rig.gd: a SkeletonModifier3D that runs last. Each cape and ear
link owns a point mass at its bone tail, simulated in world space and
sprung toward the clip pose, so lane changes, jumps, landings and the
clips themselves make the cape and ears lag, overshoot and settle. The
cape is heavy and under-damped (it swings); the ears are stiff (they ride
the stride and whip on dashes and jumps). Per-link swing limits, a guard
that keeps the cape out of the body, snapping on long gaps and pose jumps.
- hoppy_runner_visual.gd feeds frame time, running-air wind (steady plus
gusts, by run speed) and a damped swing during the slide.
- build_hoppy_hero.py: hand-tuned weight gradients for the cape (collar to
chest, cloth curving over the cape joint) and the ears (skull to ear to
tip) replace the bone-heat weights there; GLB and roll re-baked.
- tests/runner_sway_check.gd and dev/capture_sway.gd (contact strips);
capture_a1 pose_for_view settles the rig so stills show the clip pose.

… hero rabbit
The four Assets/runner/menu_previews stills (how-to-play card slideshow and
main-menu showcase) now show the CodeRabbit hero rabbit.
capture_runner_menu_previews.gd needed three fixes to run again:
- start after the root has finished setting up: the saved fullscreen setting
is applied while autoloads are added, and on macOS that mode switch pumps
deferred calls, so the game was added to a busy root and never ran (same
wait in capture_a1.gd and capture_sway.gd);
- resume the run when a focus loss pauses it;
- take the boss still after the boss intro cinematic, which holds the camera
off Hoppy, and store every still at 1280x720 whatever the window size.
The intro's title beat no longer plays the victory clip; Hoppy keeps his
normal pose through the intro. The clip still plays on stage clears and
boss defeats. Test, contract and docs updated.

Minor · Select the victory peak with the metric that the gate checks. · capture_a1.gd:244
hoppys-adventure-arcade/scenes/runner/player/dev/capture_a1.gd:244 Minor · Functional Correctness · Quick win
Select the victory peak with the metric that the gate checks.
The victory peak at line 244 maximizes paws_above_ears_px. The gate at line 265 checks paws_beside_head_px on that same sample. The sample with the largest paws-above-ears value can have a smaller paws-beside-head gap. In that case, the fixture can reject the victory clip, even though another of the 37 samples meets VICTORY_PAWS_PX. Select the victory peak with paws_beside_head_px so the captured pose is the pose that the gate validates.
Suggested fix
- var score: float = absf(metrics.head_lateral_px) if clip[2] != 0.0 else metrics.paws_above_ears_px+ var score: float = absf(metrics.head_lateral_px) if clip[2] != 0.0 else metrics.paws_beside_head_px
