Glitter colors (Materials.xml type glitter, glitter_colors 114,117) go into
S21_Glitter_Model and, transparent, S21_GlitterAlpha_Model (shader_glitter,
default 21, LEGO-AnimUV). Their shapes get box-projected UVs, an
NiTexturingProperty with a stored 128 px mipmapped fleck texture
(NiSourceTexture + NiPersistentSrcTextureRendererData, as the client's own
env_ag_ocean-maelstrom.nif) and two NiTextureTransformControllers looping
the base map's translation (glitter_size, glitter_density, glitter_speed).
The shader lays the texture over the vertex color by its alpha and outputs
the vertex alpha, so transparent glitter blends as S01_Alpha does.
Satin colors (satin_colors, LEGO's opal colors) stay in S01_Alpha but get
satin_opacity and are whitened by satin_whiten.
NifFile reads the base map's scroll speed (uvScroll) from the controllers;
the icon draws still flecks, the UGC 3D view and the LXFML viewers moving
ones. stats.json counts the glitter groups. With shader_glitter 0 and no
satin colors the files are the same bytes as before (tested). Also keeps
glow_emissive for the icon (it was reset by the icon settings).

NifFile::ShaderLookFor knows Polished Metal (98), Brushed Steel (99) and
LEGO-Emissive (53). The UGC mesh route sends each mesh's look (from its
multishader tag), and the UGC 3D view draws metal as reflective and glow
unlit. The zone views draw LEGO-Emissive objects going to their vertex
color by its alpha, as the shader does.

Compared block by block with res/BrickModels/ndmade (and nif.xml for
20.3.0.9, LU's version, user version 0): every shape now has the same four
properties in the same order (material with glossiness 4, alpha blending by
the vertex alpha, specular off, vertex colors as ambient and diffuse), nodes
have flags 0x110 and shapes 0x10. A generated NIF put in place of a game
model and spawned in the 1.10.64 client renders with its colors.
Readers treat a blended shape as transparent only where it is see-through
(material or vertex alpha below 1), for the icons and the 3D view.

The /ugc page no longer needs the browser to reach the UGC server: the
dashboard fetches its status (/api/ugc/server/status), the files it made
(/api/ugc/files/<kind>/<id>/<file>) and its NIFs converted for the 3D view
(/api/ugc/mesh/<id>, NifFile like the scenery) from ugc_internal_url
(default http://127.0.0.1:2008) with libcurl on the worker threads, keeping
small answers briefly. ugc_public_url is only an "open on the UGC server"
link now.
The page gets an icon gallery beside the list, filtered by kind, state and a
search by id or owner (GetUgcProcessList/GetModularBuildProcessList take a
search), and a viewer: the generated NIF in 3D at any LOD, now or before it
was made again, with wireframe, vertex color and baked lighting switches, the
LXFML beside it, the icon now and before, and the stats with triangles before
and after hidden faces were removed. The status box shows CPU, memory, the
jobs' memory estimate with their limits, and throttling. The settings page
lists the UGC server's new settings.
