# Screenshots — visual review

Rendered in-game captures of the current project content, generated by
[`Tools/render_screenshots.sh`](../Tools/render_screenshots.sh). The PNGs are
committed alongside this README so a reviewer sees exactly what the build
rendered.

## How to regenerate

```bash
Tools/render_screenshots.sh
```

Rebuilds `Game/GigLine/Content/Test/ReviewMap.umap` from current content, runs
the game on it (and on the DemoMap for the walkable views), walks the fixed
camera list via `AGigLineShotActor`, captures each shot, copies the PNGs here
and exits — about a minute. The camera list lives in
`Tools/ue_build_review_map.py`; add new shots there, remove retired ones here.

## Scene conventions

- **Floor**: 160 m square, top face at Z 0. The character measures Z 0..83 cm.
- **Cubes**: `Cube_ScaleTest_A` rests on the floor, `Cube_ScaleTest_B` floats at
  Z 2 m; both are exactly 1 m — the scale reference.
- **Lighting**: one warm key light plus sky fill (review rig, not the `0.1.0`
  daytime look). Beyond the floor is open: the horizon is a black band.

## Review-map shots

All ☑ approved 2026-11-07 (re-rendered with the character and cubes restored;
user visual check passed).

> Naming: shots use their stable `Tools/ue_build_review_map.py` camera name (no
> index prefix), so adding or reordering cameras never renumbers files or
> orphans the old ones. Click an image for the full-size PNG.

## What to look for

- **Ground contact**: feet meet the plane with no gap and no shadow seam.
- **Scale**: everything checks against the 1 m cubes.
- **Façade rhythm**: six columns at 4.96 m across 25.75 m should read as the
  photographs in silhouette.

## Known cosmetic issues

- Floor speckle from the `Constant3Vector` wiring in `Tools/ue_build_review_map.py`.
- Hero façade renders pale — Blender flat colours with no normal/roughness, so
  it reads as untextured stone (the `0.1.4` façade patch, not a lighting bug).
- Banners and window panels float detached from the colonnade wall (next
  modelling pass).
- Between kerb and building line, the walkable surface is the terrain mesh, not
  a modelled pavement.
