Cause of death: the autopsy

Meshy and Tripo already sell auto-rigging for a few credits, an MIT-licensed rigging model exists, and it's a poor fit for code. Kill line hit.

The numbers

None. It was never built, so there are no visitors, sales or ad spend to count. It died on paper, which is the cheapest place to die.

Could rise again if

The report left no way back.
