- Screenshots/README.md: one table for all 14 shots (review + demo) with an
index, the map each came from, camera view and description; all approved
2026-11-07 by the owner. Scene conventions now document both maps and the
dynamic-only lighting setup.
- TODO.md: Fixed daytime lighting marked done; the stale 'corridor renders
near-black' note on the crossing item updated.
The editor warned 'LIGHTING NEEDS TO BE REBUILT' (Build Lighting Only /
BuildLighting) because the sun and sky were Stationary with no baked lightmap.
The demo is a fixed daytime scene lit entirely dynamically, so:
- Config/DefaultEngine.ini: r.AllowStaticLighting=False - nothing to build.
- DemoMap + ReviewMap builders: sun, sky light, height fog and the staged
mesh components are set to ComponentMobility.MOVABLE.
Also clears the Android File Server SecurityToken in DefaultEngine.ini: the
plugin is disabled and excluded from shipping, and the value is a credential
that must not be committed.
All 14 screenshots re-rendered; no lighting warnings in the build or run logs.
Fixed daytime lighting and basic ambience for the DemoMap:
- Sun pitch -50 / yaw 120 (intensity 4, warm), sky light 2.6 with real-time
capture, sky atmosphere, height fog, and an unbound post-process volume with
fixed exposure (min = max brightness) so no shot washes out or crushes to
black depending on how much sky it frames.
- Root cause of the washed-out look was NOT the sun: Blender's flat diffuse
colours do not survive the FBX->Unreal import. Every site material arrived
white and the terrain arrived with WorldGridMaterial. The demo builder now
creates and assigns M_Asphalt / M_Concrete / M_Ground / M_RoadPaint.
- Crossing fix: each zebra band was its own object, so Blender renamed the
duplicates .001/.002 and site assembly (exact-name append) kept only one.
All bands are now a single Crossing_Markings mesh (36 verts, 3 bands).
- Terrain gets a Ground_Earth material in the builder so it stops importing
as a white grid.
- Demo cameras: street-level no longer sits inside the facade body (was
rendering its back face), and the crossing camera aims at the designated
s=130.1 crossing (UE X -14956) looking along the crosswalk.
Screenshots re-rendered; the four demo views are marked needs-review for the
owner's approval. MEMORY.md records the material-import, exposure,
light_color, band-naming and camera-bounds traps.
