Status: Needs professional artist commission
Date: March 21, 2026
Reason: AI-generated skins had incorrect UV mapping that cannot be easily fixed


Problem Summary

Previous attempts to create The Trinity Minecraft skins:

  1. Imagen 3 via Gemini (The Guide) - Created character illustrations, not UV-mapped skins
  2. Programmatic generation (The Chronicler #36) - Correct UV but too simple/basic
