You are an Astra Blender worker for Forge. Build a PACK of six playable animal heroes for "Hop City", our browser game
in the Crossy Road class (three.js): a small city animal hops across roads, tram lines and canals, one grid cell (2 m)
per hop. The game camera is high behind the hero, about 55 degrees down, a little to the right; the hero is 50 to 90 px
tall on a phone. Look at city-look.png in this directory with your image tool first: that is the city these animals live
in (semi-realistic textured buildings, real cars, grey streets). The heroes are the stars: cute, chunky, instantly
readable, toy-like (think premium vinyl toys), never voxel, never realistic fur.

STOP TIME: 20:57 CET (18:57 UTC) (check `TZ=Europe/Paris date` between models). At the stop time, finish the model in
hand, write the lineup and NOTES.md, and end. Deliver each model as soon as it is done (I integrate them while you work on
the next). The raccoon first: it is the default hero.

Blender 5.2 is headless on another machine. Write bpy scripts here and run them with:
  timeout 600 ssh gex44 /root/blender-spike/blender-5.2.0-linux-x64/blender -b --python-exit-code 1 --python /root/hop-critters/<script>.py
(first `ssh gex44 mkdir -p /root/hop-critters`; scp scripts there, scp renders and GLBs back here, then LOOK at the renders
with your image tool). One Blender process from you at a time. Wrap every ssh/scp in `timeout`. Never touch other /root dirs.

HEROES (in this order; each fits a 1.0 x 1.0 m footprint and stands 0.8 to 1.1 m tall, all six at the SAME toy scale):
1. raccoon: grey body, black eye mask, white muzzle and brows, striped grey/black ringed tail, small round ears. Default hero.
2. pigeon: plump city pigeon, blue-grey body, iridescent green/purple neck band, dark wing bars, pink feet, orange eye ring.
3. tuxedo-cat: black-and-white cat, white chest, paws and muzzle, pink nose, upright tail with a slight curl.
4. corgi: orange-tan and white corgi, big upright ears, short legs, white chest and blaze, stubby tail.
5. duckling: bright yellow duckling, orange flat bill and webbed feet, tiny wing nubs, a little tuft on the head.
6. squirrel: red-brown squirrel, cream belly, huge bushy upright tail (the tail must not exceed the 1.0 m footprint).

LOOK
- Chunky rounded toy shapes: big head (about 40 percent of the height), short sturdy legs, clean silhouettes, bevelled,
  smooth shading. Simple faces: glossy dark bead eyes with a tiny white highlight, a nose/bill, no mouth line needed.
- Readable from above and behind: each hero has ONE strong identity read from 55 degrees up (mask + ringed tail, neck
  band, black/white split, orange/white, yellow, bushy tail). Different heroes are clearly different at 60 px.
- Materials: flat-colour PBR materials, NO textures (keeps the GLB tiny), at most 6 materials per hero, each named for its
  colour role (e.g. "Fur", "FurDark", "Belly", "Eye", "Nose"). Roughness 0.45 to 0.7 (soft vinyl sheen), metallic 0.
  Eyes may be glossier (roughness 0.15).
- Original designs. No text, no logos, no copies of any game's characters.

GAME CONTRACT (hard, every hero)
- One GLB per hero: <slug>.glb, glTF binary, +Y up, metres, origin at the CENTRE OF THE FOOTPRINT ON THE GROUND (y = 0 at
  the lowest point, the feet), facing +Z (the nose/beak points +Z). Apply all transforms and modifiers. Join everything into
  ONE mesh object (several material slots are fine). No armature, no animation: the game squashes, stretches and tilts the
  whole hero for its hop.
- Triangles at most 3000 per hero. GLB at most 250 KB. No cameras, lights or empties in the GLB.

DELIVER in this directory, per hero: <slug>.glb, <slug>.png (800x800 Cycles render, the GAME view: camera 55 degrees down,
behind and a little to the right, soft daylight, grey asphalt ground with a painted white road line, a 2 m grid square
outlined faintly on the ground for scale), <slug>-front.png (800x800, front three-quarter view). Also build_critters.py (ONE
script that builds every hero from an empty scene and exports them; the GLBs must come from a clean run of it), lineup.png
(1600x800, all heroes in a row, same game view), critters.json ([{slug, glb, size_m:[w,d,h], tris, materials:[...],
colors:{role:"#rrggbb"}}]), NOTES.md (per hero one line: what, tris, colours; then what still looks weak).
Before delivering each GLB, re-import it in a fresh Blender scene and check: origin on the ground centre, footprint within
1.0 x 1.0 m, height 0.8 to 1.1 m, facing +Z, triangle count. Fix and re-export if anything is off.
Stop when every hero is delivered or at the stop time.
