This file provides guidance to Claude Code (claude.ai/code) when working with code in this repository.
./test-all.sh <scene_id> <env>- Run comprehensive tests for scene and object uploads (requires scene_id from previous upload)
./upload-scene.sh --scene_dir <dir> --scene_name <name> [--env prod|dev] [--scene_id <id>] [--verbose] [--dry_run]- Upload scene files with enhanced security and validation (--scene_name required for new scenes)./upload-scene.sh --help- Show usage information
./upload-object.sh [--scene_id <id>] --object_filename <name> --object_dir <dir> [--object_id <id>] [--env prod|dev] [--verbose] [--dry_run]- Upload dynamic 3D objects (supports PNG, JPG, JPEG, WEBP textures)./upload-object-manifest.sh [--scene_id <id>] [--env prod|dev] [--verbose] [--dry_run]- Upload object manifest after object upload./list-objects.sh [--scene_id <id>] --env <env> --verbose- List objects for a scene
- Requires
jqandcurlto be installed - Set
C3D_DEVELOPER_API_KEYenvironment variable or use.envfile (recommended) - Optional: Set
C3D_SCENE_IDenvironment variable to avoid --scene_id parameters
- Shell scripts: Main upload functionality in bash scripts with standardized logging, error handling, and API interaction patterns
- Test directories:
scene-test/,object-test/,lantern-test/contain sample assets for testing uploads - Generated files:
<scene_id>_object_manifest.jsonfiles are created automatically after object uploads
sdk-version.txt: Contains current SDK version (1.1.0) used for generated settings.json. Kept in lockstep withModuleVersioninC3DUploadTools.psd1.settings.json: Scene configuration with scale, sceneName, and sdkVersion fields - generated automatically during upload with SDK prefix (cli-bash-v<version>orcli-powershell-v<version>)- API endpoints: Support both prod (cognitive3d.com) and dev (c3ddev.com) environments
- Upload scene first to get scene_id
- Upload objects using scene_id (can be set in .env file for convenience)
- Upload object manifest to display objects in dashboard
- Object manifests are automatically generated but can be manually edited before upload
The object manifest follows Unity SDK conventions. Each object entry has:
id: A unique UUID identifying this object instance (auto-generated if not provided)mesh: The name of the 3D model file (e.g., "cube" for cube.gltf/cube.bin)name: Display name for the object (defaults to mesh name)scaleCustom: Scale factors [x, y, z]initialPosition: Starting position [x, y, z]initialRotation: Quaternion rotation [x, y, z, w]
Important: The id field is a UUID, not the mesh name. Multiple objects can share the same mesh but must have unique id values. When no --object_id is provided, scripts auto-generate a UUID.
- Scene uploads support PNG, JPG, JPEG, and WEBP image files
- Object uploads support PNG, JPG, JPEG, and WEBP texture files
- Textures are automatically detected and uploaded with scene/object files
- Object thumbnail must be named
cvr_object_thumbnail.png(PNG format required)
Streamlined Workflow with .env:
- Set
C3D_SCENE_IDin.envfile to avoid --scene_id parameters - All object operations (upload-object.sh, upload-object-manifest.sh, list-objects.sh) support environment variable fallback
- PowerShell module automatically loads .env file during import
- Tested with real API uploads in both dev and prod environments
- All scripts use consistent argument parsing with
--parameter valueformat - Standardized logging with color-coded output (INFO/WARN/ERROR/DEBUG) and timestamps
- Comprehensive error checking for dependencies and required parameters
- Support for
--verboseand--dry_runflags across scripts
- Secure API key handling without local storage exposure
- Safe file operations with comprehensive validation
- Automatic settings.json generation with SDK version prefixes
- Comprehensive input validation (UUID format, semantic versioning, file size limits)
- Cross-platform compatibility (macOS and Linux)
- Specific guidance for HTTP 401 "Key expired" errors with step-by-step resolution
- Authentication troubleshooting for general 401 errors
- Clear messages for 403 (forbidden) and 404 (not found) errors
- Actionable error messages that guide users to solutions
- Scene ID must be valid UUID format:
xxxxxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx - SDK version must follow semantic versioning:
x.y.z - File size validation with 100MB limit per file
- Early validation prevents costly operations with invalid data
- Timestamped logs with format:
[YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM:SS] [LEVEL] message - Upload timing metrics and performance monitoring
- File size reporting in debug mode
- Color-coded output for different log levels
--dry_runmode shows exact operations without execution- Previews curl commands with redacted API keys
- Displays file inventory with sizes before upload
- Validates all inputs before making any changes
- Always test with
--dry_runfirst before real uploads - Use
--verbosefor detailed debugging information - Check file sizes if uploads are slow or failing
- Rotate API keys immediately when receiving 401 errors
- Validate scene_id format from dashboard before use

Challenge Resolved: PowerShell's Invoke-WebRequest validates Authorization headers strictly and rejects the APIKEY:DEVELOPER format required by Cognitive3D API.
Solution: Uses System.Net.WebClient for multipart uploads with manual multipart form data construction:
- ✅ Windows Compatible: No external dependencies (curl, jq) required
- ✅ Authorization Working: Custom APIKEY:DEVELOPER format bypasses PowerShell validation
- ✅ Multipart Uploads: Manual boundary construction for object file uploads
- ✅ Full Functionality: Object upload (HTTP 200) and manifest upload (HTTP 201) working
- ✅ Environment Variables: C3D_SCENE_ID fallback fully functional
- ✅ Cross-platform: Works on Windows PowerShell 5.1+ and PowerShell Core 7.x+
