docs: consolidate screenshot README, drop stale shot refs in roadmap
- Screenshots/README.md: collapsed per-shot blurbs into one approved review-map table + one demo-map table; removed the duplicate hero-facade-front/oblique entries (leftovers from an old camera list that duplicated review-07/08) and the trailing duplicate 'known issues' block. - Removed the three orphan PNGs (review-03-first-person, review-04/05 hero-facade) that no longer match the camera list. - ROADMAP.md: fix stale 'review pending' on character and hero-facade items (now approved), and point facade review refs at review-06/07/08.

The MPFB character asset (idle pose + warm skin, done below) is planned as the template for **NPCs** in later milestones (`0.2.0` adds the body/camera toggle; `0.5.0` adds pedestrians). Keep it as a standalone character/prefab rather than wiring it into the `AGigLineCharacter` pawn. Everything here is future/NPC work, not `0.1.0` scope.
|

|
||||
- [x] Give the MPFB character asset a standing idle pose so review and NPC shots show a person, not an A-pose bind. Done: `Tools/mpfb_character_export.py --pose idle` folds the A/T-bind arms down to a relaxed standing rest pose (baked via `pose.armature_apply` before export; `upperarm01.L` rest z −0.71 → −1.91 rad), re-exported, re-imported (138 bones), rendered in `review-01-character`.
|
||||
- [x] Bake a second skin tone or clothing layer, so the character does not read as a grey mannequin in shots. Done: the v2-skin bake came out **black** and slow at 1024², so we synthesize a warm skin-tone diffuse directly (`Tools/mpfb_character_export.py` `make_diffuse`, with a darker shorts-suggestive bottom band) via a stdlib/numpy PNG writer. Character reads warm, not grey. Screenshot review pending (`Screenshots/review-01-character` re-pended).

- [-] Collect reference photography for manual façade work. Local only, never committed: `Art/reference/` is gitignored. **72 images in eleven folders**: hero façades to 4k, the El Capitan Theatre exterior series, premiere-night staging, Ovation Hollywood, the north side, and the Lee Drug neighbour. Gaps largely closed by the Flickr/web-search pass: the hero entrance is now documented (three portals with individual short flights — the inherited "eight steps, 12 m wide" is overturned), and the 6806–6822 retail run appears in an oblique 2013 frame. Still missing: a clean isolated frame of the door recess and a night frame of 6840 itself.
|

- [x] Download reference photography for the two north-side buildings inside the 50 m buffer — TCL Chinese Theatre (OSM way 424105908, 6925 Hollywood Blvd) and Madame Tussaud's (way 424105889, 6933 Hollywood Blvd). Done 2026-11-06 with `Tools/commons_fetch.py` against the Wikimedia Commons API: eleven frames in the local `Art/reference/north-chinese/` and `Art/reference/north-tussauds/`, provenance in each `sidecar.json`, nothing committed.

- [x] Model simplified background buildings directly across Hollywood Boulevard. Done 2026-11-07, the two in-scope north-side buildings — TCL Chinese Theatre (SM_TCL_Chinese_Theatre) and Madame Tussaud's (SM_Madame_Tussauds) — taken from the verified OSM blockout volumes and exported with `ue_metric_v1`, with a Y-mirror so they land north of Hollywood Blvd across the street from the hero (TCL spans Unreal Y 1802..9431, Tussaud's 1888..7586; road centreline ≈ 0, hero façade at Y −1450). Staged in the DemoMap as `North_TCL_Chinese` / `North_Madame_Tussauds`; demo shot `review-03-demo-north-buildings` captured. Simple flat facade materials (surfaces are the `0.1.4` patch).

- [-] Build sidewalks, roads, and collision meshes. Terrain, road, sidewalks and kerbs exist (`Art/blender/terrain/`, `street/`) and are assembled in `site/site-2026-11-06.blend`; collision and details (crossing markings, kerb radii, aprons) are not built. Ground must follow the DEM: 3.94 m fall along the block, ~2 % crown between the gutters at ±10–11 m from the centreline, north sidewalk higher than south. Kerb height is an unresolved assumption — the DEM does not resolve it (`Geo/verification/2026-11-06-cross-sections.md`).

## Scene conventions
|
||||
|
||||
- **Floor**: 160 m square, 10 cm thick, top face exactly at Z 0. Anything standing on it has bounds
|
||||
starting at Z 0; the character measures Z 0..83 cm.
|
||||
- **Cubes**: `Cube_ScaleTest_A` floats at Z 2 m, `Cube_ScaleTest_B` rests on the floor. Both are
|
||||
exactly 1 m, so they double as the scale reference.
|
||||
- **Lighting**: one warm directional key light plus a sky fill. This is the review rig, not the
|
||||
`0.1.0` daytime look.
|
||||
- **Known limitation**: outside the floor there is no geometry, so the horizon is a black band.

|

New: generated 2026-11-07 after the portals were rebuilt. Eye height at 8 m, filling the frame with the three doorways, their flights, and the plinth. The doors are now genuine 1.2 m recesses cut through four plinth piers, with stone jambs and lintels standing proud and three mullions in each opening.
|
||||
|
||||
What this shot is evidence for: that the entrance is three separate openings with individual flights (not the inherited "eight steps, 12 m wide"), and that the facade stands on Z 0 rather than sinking into the ground.

## What to look for
|
||||
|
||||
- **Ground contact**: feet meet the plane with no gap and no shadow seam.
|
||||
- **Scale**: everything checks against the 1 m cubes.
|
||||
- **Façade proportions**: six columns at 4.96 m centres across 25.75 m; check the rhythm reads as the
|
||||
photographs do in silhouette.

|
||||
|
||||
## Known cosmetic issues
|
||||
|
||||
- The floor renders with a faint speckle from the `Constant3Vector` wiring in
|
||||
`Tools/ue_build_review_map.py`. Cosmetic only.
|
||||
- The hero façade still has flat Blender colours; surfaces are a later materials pass.

Known issues in this build, visible in the shots and already on the roadmap:
|
||||
|
||||
- The façade renders very pale — the Blender materials came across as flat colours with no normal or roughness, so it reads as untextured stone. That is the `0.1.4` façade patch, not a lighting bug.
|
||||
- The banners and window panels stand detached from the wall, floating in the colonnade. They are the next modelling pass.
|
||||
- Terrain carries the sidewalks between the kerb and the building line, so the walkable surface there is the terrain mesh, not a modelled pavement.

||||
