# 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. > Naming: shots use their stable camera name (no index prefix), so adding or reordering cameras never renumbers files or orphans the old ones.

Every shot was re-rendered from current `main` content after the building-height calibration was adopted (`v0.1.2`): Mapbox-derived **3.1 m per level** (`Geo/tools/block_height_report.py`), explicit overrides for three rear outbuildings, and the regenerated blockout and frontage that follow — 6922 is now 39.1 m (was 42.1 m) and the El Capitan Theatre 20.5 m (was 20.0 m). | Round | What changed | | --- | --- | | 2026-11-07 | First approved set; block frontage pass corrected hero and north-building placement | | 2026-11-08 | Re-rendered after `0.1.1` street geometry (sidewalk upstand flush at the building edge, crossing ramps graded ≤ 8 %); `demo-north-buildings` camera re-pointed (was 9.5 km west, 85 % sky) | | 2026-11-09 | Re-rendered after the `0.1.2` building-height calibration (3.1 m per level). 12 of 14 PNGs changed; `review-demo-spawn-view` and `review-demo-street-level` are byte-identical to the `0.1.1` round, so the height change reads mostly on the frontage silhouettes | | # | File | Preview | Map | View | What it shows | ☑ | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | 1 | `review-overview.png` | [

](demo/review-demo-north-buildings.png) | Demo | across the Blvd | North-side buildings (TCL, Tussaud's) seen from the south side across the road. **2026-11-08:** camera re-pointed to the buildings' mass centre (was 9.5 km west → 85% sky); now frames both north buildings. Flat surfaces = `0.1.4` façade scope. | ☑ 2026-11-09 | ## Scene conventions - **Review map** (`/Game/Test/ReviewMap`): 160 m floor, top face at Z 0; the character measures Z 0..83 cm. One warm key light plus sky fill. - **Cubes**: `Cube_ScaleTest_A` rests on the floor, `Cube_ScaleTest_B` floats at Z 2 m; both are exactly 1 m — the scale reference. - **Demo map** (`/Game/Hollywood/DemoMap`): fixed daytime — sun at pitch −50 / yaw 120 (intensity 4, warm), sky light 2.6, sky atmosphere, height fog, fixed exposure. - **Materials**: every exported surface carries a look-developed material built in `Tools/ue_build_demo_map.py` (`ensure_material`) because Blender's flat diffuse colours do not survive the FBX → Unreal import. Each has an explicit roughness and a subtle world-space noise blend between two shades: `M_Asphalt` (0.92), `M_Concrete` (0.88), `M_KerbConcrete` (0.85), `M_Ground` (0.98), `M_RoadPaint` (0.62), `M_FacadeStone` (0.72) and `M_Stucco` (0.86) for the north-side buildings. - **Lighting is dynamic-only** (`r.AllowStaticLighting=False`, all lights Movable), so no lighting build is ever required. ## 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. - **Frontage heights (new in this round)**: 6922 and the El Capitan Theatre were re-cut to the 3.1 m storey height. Check they still read as the taller west end and the lower cinema respectively against `Art/reference/hollywood/el-capitan-theatre-blade-sign-day-wikimedia-2008-10.jpg`, and that the ordering of the six frontage buildings is unchanged. ## 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 sit on the column line rather than the wall (acceptable: they hang on the columns in the photographs). - ~~Banners and window panels float detached from the colonnade wall~~ — **window panes fixed 2026-11-09**: they sat at Y −1.98, 1.44 m in *front* of the wall and ahead of the column line; they now sit on the wall plane at Y −0.56, behind the columns, and read as dark openings (see `review-hero-facade-front`). - Between kerb and building line, the walkable surface is the terrain mesh, not a modelled pavement.
