Delivers the CC6a foundation half of the chargen 3D preview: the missing
index->ObjDesc appearance factory the campaign plan's acdream-seams
section named, plus a static-pose offscreen renderer following
PrivateEntityViewportRenderer's proven paperdoll/appraisal architecture.
Page mount, spin/color-wheel controls, and rotate/zoom behavior stay out
of scope per the CC4-parallel worktree contract (CC6b, after CC4 merges).
Core (src/AcDream.Core/CharGen/, pure, no Chorizite on public surfaces):
ChargenAppearanceFactory.TryCompose ports gmCG3DView::Update @0x004EE9D0's
ObjDesc rebuild in its exact decompiled order - base body, hair style,
clothing in retail's own Headgear/Trousers/Shirt/Footwear order (not the
UI tab order or the wire's field order, both of which differ), eyes
(bald-aware), nose, mouth, then the unconditional skin subpalette, hair
color, eye color. ChargenPalSetMath ports PalSet::GetPaletteID's
shade-to-index formula, cross-checked three ways (decomp control flow,
ACE's PaletteSet.GetPaletteID "Taken from acclient.c" citation, ACViewer's
identical slider math). ChargenPalSet/ChargenClothingTable are pure
projections behind IChargenPalSetSource/IChargenClothingTableSource so the
factory itself never touches a dat.
Content (src/AcDream.Content/CharGen/): ChargenAppearanceCatalog is the
cached dat-backed implementation of those two source interfaces, mirroring
ChargenTableReader's no-leak discipline.
App (src/AcDream.App/Rendering/): ChargenPreviewRenderer is a third facade
over PrivateEntityViewportRenderer beside PaperdollViewportRenderer and
CreatureAppraisalViewportRenderer - no existing rendering file touched.
ChargenPreviewCamera carries the four retail-verbatim per-heritage eye
profiles from gmCGAppearancePage::Update @0x0047E8F0 (cross-checked
against ZoomIn/ZoomOut's identical literals) plus the recovered rotation
(3.0 s/revolution) and zoom-tween (0.6 s, reconstructed from the
decompiler's garbled float literals - the plan's own "measure if it
matters" note is resolved, not garbled beyond recovery). Rotation applies
to the character model, not the camera, per gmCGAppearancePage::DoRotation.
ChargenPreviewEntityBuilder resolves Setup/GfxObj/Surface/Animation itself
(there is no live entity yet), reusing DatLiveEntityProjectionMaterializer's
surface-override algorithm and RetailPaperdollPoseApplicator's held-pose
technique, generalized to chargen's per-heritage rest-pose DID.
Two register rows filed: TS-83 (the plan-named CC6a static-pose-vs-retail-
idle-loop staging, CC6b to retire) and TS-82 (measured, not assumed - the
un-ported clothing Setup-substitution fallback chain costs nothing for the
9 standard heritages with clothing UI, but Undead's default gear choices
genuinely lack ClothingBaseEffects coverage for Undead's own body Setup).
Tests: ChargenPalSetMathTests, ChargenAppearanceFactoryTests (hand-built
fixtures), ChargenAppearanceCatalogInstalledDatTests (installed-DAT sweep,
all 26 heritage/gender combinations, zero missing PalSet/ClothingTable
ids), ChargenPreviewCameraTests, ChargenPreviewEntityBuilderTests
(installed-DAT-gated, proves a real 34-part Aluvian mesh resolves).
Core.Tests 4767/1 skip, Content.Tests 146/0, App.Tests 5121/6 skips - all
pre-existing skips, zero failures, full solution Release build green.
