What the first pass got wrong, and what changed:
- The mural plates were placed 0.20 m INSIDE the solid blockout volume, so they
never rendered. Nothing can be recessed into a solid we do not cut: the inset is
now faked by a proud frame with a near-flush plate, and the row reads.
- Detail sat 0.05 m off the wall, under a pixel of depth at 40 m. Trim planes now
stand 0.10-0.20 m proud, and the parapet became two tiers with deeper reveals.
- 6806's parapet started at 0.62 H and left a 4.6 m blank band; the window storey
and parapet moved up to follow the photograph.
- Security bars on the upper windows, twelve fluted fins on the corner tower.
- The trim's stucco/white/glass slots are mapped onto the demo's look materials, so
the walls sit in the same noise/texture family as the rest of the block; the
colour slots sampled from the photograph stay as authored.
- Review camera pulled back and widened to 66 deg so the east end is in frame.
- The scene audit caught duplicate RetailTrim_ actors: the demo builder's clear list
did not include the new label, so every rebuild stacked another copy.
Still open and not fixable by geometry: wall lettering. A plate at 0.10 m does not
read at 40 m, so it moves to the 0.9.0 decal route (TODO.md, Screenshots/README.md).
Models the two retail buildings beside the hero from their own photograph rather
than the generic kit: bronze cornice, mural row, lettering band, stepped Deco
parapet and rounded corner tower on 6800 Lee Drug; burgundy fascia, pilasters,
white-framed windows and banded parapet on 6806-6820. Reference analysis written
before any geometry (Art/blender/retail/ref-analysis.md), every unmeasured
proportion carried into the part report as an assumption.
6822 Budget is deferred, not guessed: no photograph of it exists and the 6.0 x 5.5 m
sliver cannot be read out of the neighbour shot.
Pipeline fixes found on the way:
- render_screenshots.sh called ./Engine/... for the capture step while every
commandlet used the absolute path; set -e killed the script at 127 *after* the
maps were rebuilt, so screenshots silently stayed a day old.
- the facade kit applies to every Frontage_*/North_* actor, so it pasted its own
language over the new modelled facades; it now skips them, and the trim stages as
RetailTrim_*.
- pure bay arithmetic moved to Tools/_common.py so it is unit-testable without
Blender (4 new tests, 82 total pass).
Known gaps recorded in Screenshots/README.md, not hidden: the parapet reads as a
blank band, murals and lettering do not resolve at review distance, the tower is a
plain cylinder, and the review camera crops the east end.
