Glossary
Short definitions of the terms used in genMC and in this knowledge base.
| Term | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Agent | An AI assistant you connect to genMC, such as Claude, ChatGPT or Codex. genMC has no AI of its own. |
| Agent column | The panel on the right with your requests, the agent's steps and the input line. |
| Atlas (UV atlas) | The flat 64 × 64 skin texture; 72 named faces map it onto the model, e.g. head.base.front. |
| Base / Outer layer | The two layers of a skin: the opaque body and the second shell for clothing and hair. |

| Components / parts | The named pieces of a build (buildings, roofs, rooms, trees …) that you browse, hide and Smart-select in Details → Structure. |

| Finish | Ends a collaboration session: the agent stops editing until you send a new request. |
| Gallery | The public collection of published skins and builds. |
