Writes the 0.1.6 entry, removes the completed section from TODO.md (its goal stays
in ROADMAP.md per the convention), and updates the roadmap status line.
Release checks: 5/5 shots verify, scene audit 0 failures, 82 tool tests, LFS check
clean, owner approval recorded for the retail shot.
Screenshots/README.md's known-issues list had no tickets, so the same defects kept
resurfacing as surprises. It is now a table with the issue, the version and item
that owns it, and a state.
Two entries were stale and are removed: the El Capitan Theatre marquee and blade
sign have been staged since ue_stage_theatre_trim.py landed (six trim actors in the
demo map), and 'materials are not yet created' contradicted the scene conventions
in the same file.
Moved out of 0.1.6, which is a patch and cannot carry new scope:
- wall lettering decal, moulded parapet profile, tower stepping and portrait
panels as textures -> 0.9.0 per-building models
- 6822 Budget (blocked: no photograph exists) -> 0.9.0 photography gap
The patch keeps what a patch can do: the trim that reads, the verified shot, the tag.
Filed with their proper owners: hero entrance doors and central-bay positioning ->
0.9.0 hero item; pale hero stone -> 0.9.0 measured material library; pavement
between kerb and building line -> 0.6.0 visual polish.
The 0.1.6 claim is released: nothing left on this branch but the owner's approval
and the tag.
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).
The facade work started as a patch (0.1.4) and the 0.1.6 retail pass showed what
that costs: a patch has no release gate of its own, so a first pass that does not
yet read as the building can sit inside a done patch series. Realism is also the
leading quality goal, which a patch cannot carry.
New 0.9.0 - Realistic buildings, before the feature freeze: facade system with more
than one order, a profile library, storefront types, signage as decals, per-building
photo-matched models, a measured material library with a texel-density rule, and
LODs plus collision proxies. Former 0.9.0 freeze/beta/audit becomes 0.10.0 with
patches 0.10.1-0.10.3; 1.0.0 moves to weeks 39-44.
Recorded as ADR-8 (append-only) with a measurable gate BR-1..BR-5 in the quality
requirements, mirrored into the combined architecture.md. The 0.1.6 item now says
which of its gaps move to 0.9.0 and why more geometry cannot close them.
Each shot now has its own section with the image embedded, its view, expected
content and both verdicts, plus a status table at the top that links to them.
A path alone was not a review: the owner had to open five PNGs to judge a pass.
Also recorded in AGENTS.md (a path is not a review; approval ticks both the section
and the table row), the two retail assets and tools in the arc42 building block
view and the combined architecture.md, and prettier-formatted the changed files.
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.
