Conflicts resolved by union, not by picking a side:
- AGENTS.md keeps the stronger visual-review rule (README updated with every visual
change; a stale section is a defect).
- render_screenshots.sh keeps the absolute engine path from main and adds
-thirdperson from this branch - both were needed and neither alone worked.
- Screenshots/README.md now lists six shots, retail and third-person both embedded;
the known-issues tables merged, with the animation defect and unproven camera
collision added to main's rows.
- visual_targets.json carries both expectations.
- Architecture docs: ADR-8 (realistic buildings) and ADR-9 (third-person body) both
present and in numeric order; ADR-8 was mis-placed before the Quality Requirements
heading in the combined document by an earlier edit, now fixed.
- Binary conflicts resolved to main's content, since the retail trim only exists
there.
Checks: 82 tool tests, prettier clean, six embeds resolve.
One pawn, both rigs (ADR-9): a skeletal body hidden in first person, a
collision-tested spring arm, and a toggle that swaps the active camera and the
body's visibility. Shipped default stays first person; -thirdperson starts the
pawn in the third-person rig so the review shot is reproducible, and the
screenshot run passes it.
Three defects found and two fixed:
- The skin material had no SkeletalMesh usage flag, so Unreal silently substituted
the default grey. That is why the body rendered as clay.
- render_screenshots.sh still called ./Engine/... on this branch (the fix lives on
the facade branch and never reached main); applied here so the shots generate.
- OPEN: the idle clip is bound and PlayAnimation is called - the run logs the clip
name - but the body still renders in bind pose, arms out. Recorded with that
evidence in TODO.md rather than called done.
Shot 5 (demo-third-person) added and documented; camera collision is implemented
but unproven, since the spawn has open space behind it.
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.
