Topology and UV Cleanup Audit Agent

A rig-ready mesh with a clean scan report and a cleaned copy the artist has approved

Topology and UV Cleanup Audit Agent: what goes in, what the agent does and what you get

What it does

A mesh marked ready often hides bad topology, and the faults surface only after texturing or rigging has started. When the artist marks a model ready, this agent exports the mesh data and scans for n-gons, non-manifold edges, flipped normals, stretched or overlapping UV islands and edge loops that will pinch at joints. It sorts findings into safe fixes and judgment calls. It applies only safe fixes, such as flipping normals or merging doubled vertices, on a copy of the file. Then it re-runs the full scan, because one fix can create a new fault. It loops until the report is clean or the same fault repeats three times. Judgment calls go on a list with screenshots. The artist always approves the cleaned copy before it replaces the working file. Edge case: an n-gon on a flat panel that never deforms is left alone.

How it works

Follow the arrows from top to bottom. The orange dashed arrow is the loop: when a check fails, the agent goes back and tries again.

How it decides

A fault is fixed automatically only if it is on the safe list and cannot change the silhouette. Anything on a deforming area is left for the artist.

  • Auto-fix only normals, doubled vertices and loose geometry
  • Flag UV islands with more than 20% stretch or any overlap on a unique-texture asset
  • Leave n-gons on rigid, non-deforming parts alone
  • Stop after three passes if the same fault keeps coming back

Make it yours

Every agent is a starting point. You choose these settings for your own situation.

  • Maximum stretch allowed on UV islands (default 20%)
  • Which faults count as safe to auto-fix
  • Target use: rigging, texturing or both
  • Maximum fix passes before stopping (default 3)

What keeps you in control

It always asks you first

  • Replacing the working file with the cleaned copy
  • Fixes on deforming areas such as shoulders or faces

Hard limits

  • Never edits the original file
  • Never changes the silhouette or vertex positions without approval

It stops when

  • Done: the scan is clean and the artist approved the copy
  • Stop: the same fault returns after three passes, or the export fails

An example run

What happensDragon_hero was marked ready on Monday. The scan found 14 n-gons, 3 flipped normals and two overlapping UV islands near the wing. The agent fixed normals and merged vertices on a copy. The re-scan then showed 2 new loose edges from the merge. It removed them and the second scan came back clean. It listed the shoulder n-gons for the artist, who kept two and approved the copy.
