v043 bounded manual primary-form review
The sculpt moved.
The anatomy didn’t.
A focused manual sculpt pass changed local chest, neck, head, and hindquarter contours, but it did not replace the tube, pillar, and dome construction with credible canine masses. It also introduced one-sided dents and asymmetry. Gate G1 is rejected again, v043 is frozen, and this foundation will not continue downstream.

What changed
A second attempt, with the same foundation problem
v042 proved the continuity workflow. v043 tested whether one bounded manual primary-form pass could rescue that surface. The local silhouette moved, but the construction logic did not.
The experiment was bounded, source-preserving, mechanically auditable, and judged in the same fixed cameras.
The manual pass did not establish ribcage, scapula, pelvis, limb chains, paws, skull planes, muzzle, or a natural neck transition.
Freeze v043 as a failed rescue experiment. Replace the foundation through a licensed, anatomy-first candidate bakeoff.
Adversarial form review
Why Gate G1 failed
-
01
critical
Head and neck
The pass increased separation, but the head still reads as a dome over a pipe muzzle. Stop, orbit, cheek, jaw, mouth corner, nose plane, throat, and ear roots remain unresolved.
-
02
critical
Shoulder, chest, and torso
The chest and tuck moved locally, but the torso remains a nearly uniform tube. Ribcage, scapular plane, withers, upper arm, pectoral mass, waist, and loin do not form a coherent hierarchy.
-
03
critical
Pelvis, haunch, and hind chain
The croup and thigh changed slightly, but the rear remains mechanical and high-folded. Pelvis, gluteal, thigh, hamstring, hock, and tail-base relationships are still not credible.
-
04
severe
Limbs and paws
Forelegs still read as posts, hind legs as rods, and paws as tiny flat pads. The manual pass did not establish joint direction, weight support, or believable contact.
-
05
severe
Surface and overall read
The mass distribution remains generic, while one-sided dents and asymmetry add noise without anatomical information. Cockapoo identity work still cannot begin.
v043 proves that a bounded manual sculpt was attempted and reviewed. It also proves that this construction is not worth carrying into another rescue pass.
Mechanical truth
Closed is not production-ready
v043 still has one island and no boundary or nonmanifold edges. Its uniform remesh density remains useful only as broad sculpt clay; it carries no deliberate deformation flow around the face, shoulder, hip, paws, or tail base.
This is disposable sculpt clay. It is not curated topology, rig-ready geometry, or a quality approval.
Workflow video source
The process was captured and privacy-reviewed
The v043 five-minute manual attempt and the prior v042 union work were captured in guarded Blender-window clips. The v043 review covered a sixteen-sample contact sheet plus start, middle, and end frames; v042 added forty reviewed samples. No photos, people, messages, unrelated apps, or private URLs were visible. The public package keeps only compact contact derivatives; raw recordings stay private.
Accepted use: future workflow-video editing, including an honest failed-form experiment and recoverable UI error. Not accepted as: form, likeness, topology, rig, groom, animation, or final-render approval. Raw recordings are intentionally not in this public package.
Gate truth
Everything after anatomy stays blocked
v041, v042, and v043 remain frozen evidence for construction, union, and the failed manual rescue attempt.
v042 and v043 are one closed surface with clean structural receipts. That proves continuity only.
v043 still does not read as a credible canine body and will not receive another rescue pass.
Identity cannot be judged on unresolved anatomy.
No deformation cage, production loops, controls, or weighting are authorized.
No fur, animation, or polished render may conceal the failed nude-body gate.
Rejected historyOpen the earlier prototype and retrospective
These videos remain collapsed as historical proof of an earlier, rejected workflow. They do not show v043 and they do not represent the target character quality.
