- Drop the /Screenshots/* gitignore exclusion so review PNGs are committed
(LFS-tracked) alongside the review README.
- AGENTS.md Visual review: PNGs are now committed, not kept only on disk.
- 13 review/demo screenshots tracked (25 MB LFS).
- mpfb_character_export.py: new --pose idle folds the A/T-bind arms down to
a relaxed standing rest pose (baked via pose.armature_apply before export);
new make_diffuse synthesizes a warm skin-tone diffuse with a darker
shorts-suggestive band, replacing the Cycles v2-skin bake that came out
black and was slow at 1024^2.
- write_png now encodes from img.pixels via numpy (fast) because img.save()
writes black for an in-memory image.
- Re-exported idle character, re-imported to /Game/Test/Character (138 bones,
warm M_Character_Export/T_Character_Diffuse); removed stale T_Skin_Diffuse.
- Untracked the review PNGs again: the Screenshots/ gitignore rule had been
dropped and the parallel session had committed the PNGs, against the
AGENTS.md 'never commit the PNGs' rule. Restored the ignore rule; only
Screenshots/README.md stays tracked.
- README/roadmap/memory updated; review-01-character re-pended for approval.
The portal detail shot failed for a modelling reason, not a camera reason: the
doors were 0.1 m panels on a solid plinth, so they read as shading. The plinth is
now four piers plus a lintel band, with a 1.2 m reveal, stone jambs and lintels
standing 0.10 m proud and three mullions per opening. review-06 frames them from
8 m at eye height.
Two defects fixed while doing it: the jamb boxes hung 0.15 m below the pavement,
so the facade imported with min Z -15 cm; and a rebuild run against a read-only
.blend silently skipped the save, which is why screenshots kept showing the old
geometry.
Tools/sibling_asset_audit.py reads the sibling security-game project's prop
library straight from the GLB headers: 20 street props, 11.8k triangles, every
one with a Blender source. The 50 .blend sources are copied to
Art/props/blender_src/ with a manifest; nothing is imported into Unreal yet. Its
building meshes are deliberately not taken - they are Godot GLBs built around a
29.6 m facade that this project measured at 25.75 m.
The facade proportions were wrong against the photograph: 5.7 m of blank wall
above the capitals. Entablature is now 3.4 m, parapet 2.2 m, with architrave and
cornice bands and square pedestals, so the elevation reads as layered stone.
Roadmap gains two sections: 'Review scene and player placement' (this pass) and
'Character development' (follow-on). The camera list is now one table of
(name, location, target) with look-at rotations computed from the pairs, so a
camera cannot drift out of aim when one number changes.
New shots: player-placement (the real pawn, staged in the build script),
ground-contact (knee height, feet on the plane), shadow-compare (floating vs
grounded cube from a low angle), and hero-portals (whole elevation).
The review floor grows to 160 m so the facade stands on ground rather than the
horizon band. Retired: the first-person shot.
Honest gap recorded in the roadmap: the hero portals sit behind the colonnade and
do not resolve from the review floor; that needs a camera on the plinth or a
portal rebuild, not another angle.
