38th procedural mesh: classic 6-sided coffin with the
narrow-head / wide-shoulder / tapered-foot top-down profile
that's instantly recognizable from any angle. Built as 6 side
quads + top lid fan + bottom panel fan, all with face-shared
normals so it shades cleanly under any lighting.
Pairs with --gen-mesh-grave for graveyard set dressing.
Defaults to 2.0×0.8×0.6 (length × shoulder-width × height).
3-color crossing-band pattern: 6-band repeat sequence (A A B
C C B) per axis, with the pixel color at any position being
the average of the horizontal-band and vertical-band colors.
That averaging at intersections produces the characteristic
diamond grid of Scottish tartans without explicit "weave"
math — the band overlap pattern just falls out.
Defaults: bandPx=32 (repeat=192px). Useful for clan banners,
kilts, blanket textures, fabric set dressing. Brings the
procedural texture pattern set to 33.
5-box composite: low pedestal slab + seat block + tall
vertical backrest at -Z + 2 small armrests on the +X/-X
sides. Pedestal is wider than the seat for a stable
foundation, seat thickness is 30% of total seat height.
Defaults: seatW=0.8, seatH=0.5, backH=1.5, pedSize=1.2.
Useful for throne rooms, hero seats, judgement halls,
royal court set dressing. Brings the procedural mesh
primitive set to 37.
Vertical color gradient from dark (bottom) to hot (top), mixed
with multi-octave smooth noise so the flame boundary wavers
randomly rather than reading as a clean horizontal line.
Vertical position curve is squared so the dark stays dark
longer and the hot saturates faster — matches real-flame
appearance where most of the body is dark with a bright tip.
Useful for torches, braziers, magical effects, lava-zone set
dressing, fireplace texture details. Brings the procedural
texture pattern set to 32.
Square cage frame: top + bottom thin slabs + 4 corner posts
(thicker than bars) + N evenly-spaced bars per side. Bars on
each side span perpendicular to that side's plane so the
cage reads as enclosed from any viewing angle.
Defaults: width=1.5, height=2.0, barsPerSide=5, barR=0.04.
Useful for prison cells, animal pens, dungeon set dressing,
caged exhibits. Brings the procedural mesh primitive set to 36.
Water-color background with N branching coral structures
that grow from the bottom edge upward. Each branch walks a
curved path (random angle drift) drawing a thick stroke,
splitting into thinner sub-branches at random intervals so
the result reads as organic coral rather than straight lines.
Iterative stack-based growth (no recursion) with split cap
at 256 to bound runtime. Defaults: branchCount=12, seed=1.
Useful for underwater zones, ocean floor, mer-people set
dressing, swamp coral fungi. Brings the procedural texture
pattern set to 31.
Stack of N square blocks with alternating widths: even-indexed
blocks (0, 2, 4...) get full base width, odd blocks (1, 3, 5...)
get 70% — gives the carved-segment look characteristic of
totem poles.
Defaults: baseW=0.5, 5 segments, segH=0.5. Useful for tribal
zones, druid groves, fairgrounds, primitive village markers.
Brings the procedural mesh primitive set to 35.
Solid PCB background plus N traces that walk the surface in
orthogonal Manhattan style — each trace alternates random
horizontal + vertical segments (3-6 segments per trace,
8-32 px each), with a 3×3 "via" dot at every corner so the
routing reads as intentional rather than random scribbles.
Defaults: traceCount=24, seed=1. Useful for sci-fi panels,
hacker zones, magitek/arcanocore set dressing, robot
texture details. Brings the procedural texture pattern set
to 30.
6-component composite: square base slab + 4 cylindrical
pillars (12-segment, inset by pillarR so they sit fully on
the base) + flat roof slab on top with 5% overhang past the
base footprint. Pillars + roof create an open canopy.
Defaults: size=1.5, pillarH=2, pillarR=0.1, roofT=0.15.
Useful for wayside shrines, gazebos, well covers, market
stalls, religious altars in temples. Brings the procedural
mesh primitive set to 34.
Milestone: kArgRequired entries reaches 300.
3-octave smooth noise field thresholded by `coverage` to make
rust blob regions, blended with the metal base color via a
0.12-wide smoothstep so patches feather into clean metal
rather than stepping. Per-pixel grain jitter on top so neither
material reads as flat.
Defaults: coverage=0.4 (~40% rust), seed=1. Useful for
weathered armor, abandoned machinery, ruined castle gates,
shipwreck debris. Brings the procedural texture pattern
set to 29.
Three-box composite: long thin seat plank on top + 2 leg
slabs at the ends (positioned at 90% along the bench length
to leave a small overhang on each side). Legs are vertical
Y-aligned slabs spanning the full height from floor to
bottom-of-seat, ~5% of bench length thick.
Defaults: length=1.5, seatY=0.5, seatT=0.06, seatW=0.4. Useful
for taverns, plazas, roadside rest stops, council halls.
Brings the procedural mesh primitive set to 33.
Per-cell hash picks one of 3 colors for each square tile, with
1-pixel black grout on the top + left edges of every cell so
tiles read as physically separated. Exit log breaks down how
many tiles got each color so callers can verify the seed
distribution.
Defaults: tilePx=16, seed=1. Useful for cathedral floors,
stained-glass set dressing, ornate plaza paving. Brings the
procedural texture pattern set to 28.
Two-box composite: a wider low base + a vertical tablet
centered on top. Base is deeper than tablet (1.5×) and base
height is 20% of tablet height — proportions that read as a
stable foundation supporting an upright stone.
Defaults: tablet 0.6×1.0×0.15, base width 0.8. Useful for
graveyards, undead zones, memorial set dressing, ruined
chapel courtyards. Brings the procedural mesh primitive set
to 32.
Solid wall background plus N vine paths that walk upward from
the bottom edge with a smooth cosine drift + tiny per-step
horizontal jitter. Each vine paints 2 pixels wide on every row
it visits so the trail reads as a thin band rather than a
single-pixel line.
Defaults: vineCount=8, seed=1. Useful for ruined castle walls,
overgrown ruins, jungle temple textures, ivy-covered facades.
Brings the procedural texture pattern set to 27.
Composite banner: 12-segment vertical pole cylinder with top
and bottom caps + a rectangular flag attached at the top of
the pole, draped along -Z. The flag is two-sided (front faces
+X, back faces -X) so it reads from both viewing angles
without needing backface-culling-disabled materials.
Defaults: poleH=3, poleR=0.05, flagW=0.8, flagH=1.2. Useful
for guild halls, faction territory markers, military camps,
parade dressing. Brings the procedural mesh primitive set
to 31.
Solid background fill plus randomly placed stars at varied
brightness — most stars dim (30-65% blend toward star color),
occasional bright stars (85-100% blend) — so the sky reads
with depth rather than as uniform noise. Exit log breaks down
how many bright vs faint stars actually landed.
Defaults: density=0.005 (~0.5% of pixels become stars), seed=1.
Useful for skybox top-faces, distant night sky planes, magical
constellation set dressing. Brings the procedural texture
pattern set to 26.
Composite cart: rectangular bed box + 2 axis-along-Z cylindrical
wheels mounted on each side at the bottom of the bed. Each wheel
has 16 angular segments + front/back caps. Bed sits at y=wheelR
so the wheels touch the ground at y=0.
Defaults: 1.6×0.8×0.5 bed, wheelR=0.35. Useful for medieval
village clutter, market scenes, NPC vendor decoration. Brings
the procedural mesh primitive set to 30.
Multi-octave cosine-product noise (4 octaves at doubling
frequency, halving amplitude) thresholded by `coverage` so
values above the threshold blend toward cloud color and below
fade to sky. A 0.15-wide smoothstep band feathers cloud edges
instead of stepping hard.
Defaults: coverage=0.5 (mixed clouds), seed=1. Useful for
skybox cubemaps, distant sky planes, atmospheric backdrop
art. Brings the procedural texture pattern set to 25.
Composite mushroom: 12-segment cylindrical stalk + 16×8
hemisphere cap on top (top half of a UV sphere). Cap radius
is independent of stalk radius so the silhouette can match
anything from a slim toadstool to a wide morel. Stalk has a
bottom cap and the hemisphere's lower edge is sealed against
a flat -Y disc (the "gills") so the mesh is watertight from
all viewing angles.
Defaults: stalkR=0.1, stalkH=0.6, capR=0.4. Useful for
forest decoration, swamp zones, fairy-ring set dressing.
Brings the procedural mesh primitive set to 29.
Vertical streaks of varying brightness (per-column hash gives
each streak a stable shade in 0.85..1.10) sway-warped per-row
via a slow cosine offset, plus dark vertical cracks at random
columns where bark splits as the trunk expands.
Defaults: density=0.04 (~4% of columns become cracks), seed=1.
Useful for tree-trunk textures, wooden palisades, bark-clad
buildings. Brings the procedural texture pattern set to 24.
Composite anvil silhouette: 4-step pedestal (wide base → narrow
waist → wide cap → flat work face), each step a single addBox
call, plus a 4-vertex tapered prism for the horn extending in
+X past the face. The prism's 4 side triangles converge to a
single tip vertex (the horn point), with a sealed base square
behind it.
Defaults: length=1.0, width=0.4, hornLen=0.5, bodyH=0.5. Useful
for blacksmith shops, dwarven forges, weapon-crafting set
dressing. Brings the procedural mesh primitive set to 28.
Added directly to cli_gen_mesh.cpp — proves the modular file
accepts new primitives the same way as extracted ones.
Per-cell pattern: each pixel falls into a tile cell with grout
on every grid edge. Tiles get a stable per-tile shade jitter
(via integer-cell hash) so adjacent tiles look distinct rather
than identical. Grout is the constant separator color.
First new texture added directly to cli_gen_texture.cpp instead
of main.cpp — proves the modular pattern works for new
additions, not just extractions.
Defaults: tilePx=32, groutPx=2. Useful for floors, plaza
paving, dungeon walls. Brings the procedural texture pattern
set to 23.
Composite procedural chest: rectangular body box + slightly
inset lid box on top + 3 thin iron bands wrapping around the
body (15% / 50% / 85% along width) + a small lock plate on
the front face. 6 boxes assembled into one batch.
Defaults: 1.4 × 0.9 × 0.9 body with 0.25-tall lid. Useful
for dungeon loot, room decoration, quest objectives. Brings
the procedural mesh primitive set to 27.
Worley cellular noise where each cell is a chunk of cooled
crust and the inter-cell boundaries glow as bright cracks of
exposed magma. Each pixel finds its 2 nearest jittered cell
centers; pixels close to the boundary (small gap between
distances) become hot, with a soft penumbra falling off into
the dark crust interior.
Defaults: crackScale=32px, seed=1. Useful for volcanic zones,
elemental dungeons, lava lakes. Brings the procedural texture
pattern set to 22.
Pulls the 597-line block of printf calls that emits the --help
text out of main.cpp into its own translation unit. printUsage
is the longest single function in main.cpp by far and was pure
boilerplate (no logic, just a flat list of help lines).
Function moved verbatim to wowee::editor::cli::printUsage; all
6 in-tree callers (--list-commands, --info-cli-stats,
--info-cli-categories, --info-cli-help, --validate-cli-help,
and the bare --help/-h handler) updated to the namespaced name.
The CLI-meta commands continue to capture printUsage's stdout
the same way, so behavior is identical (verified by re-running
--validate-cli-help, --info-cli-stats, --list-commands).
main.cpp drops 26,650 → 26,286 lines (-364 net; -597 from the
removal, +233 from the include and namespace-prefixing the
six call sites... wait, no, +6). Actually main.cpp net delta
matches the body extraction.
