# Screenshots — visual review

Rendered in-game captures of the current project content, generated by
[`Tools/render_screenshots.sh`](../Tools/render_screenshots.sh). **The PNGs in
this folder are never committed** (`.gitignore` excludes everything here
except this README) — they exist on disk so a human can review the game's
appearance after every change that could affect it.

## How to regenerate

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

This rebuilds `Game/GigLine/Content/Test/ReviewMap.umap` from the current
content (floor, key light, sky, MPFB character, the three 1 m scale cubes),
runs the game on it in `-game` mode, lets `AGigLineShotActor` walk its fixed
camera list and capture, and copies the PNGs here. Takes about a minute.

Each screenshot is described below. After reviewing, mark the approval state
in the table so agents know whether the look is accepted or needs work.

## Current screenshots (generated 2026-11-07)

| File | View | Shows | Approval |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| `review-00-overview.png` | Wide shot from the south-west, elevated | The review scene: character at origin, three 1 m calibration cubes in a row at 4 m north, gray floor, key light + sky | ☐ pending |
| `review-01-character.png` | Medium shot, eye height, from the south | The MPFB-generated character with its baked skin material and A-pose bind | ☐ pending |
| `review-02-scale-cubes.png` | Close three-quarter view of the cube row | The 1 m cubes for scale judgement against the character | ☐ pending |

All captures are 2560×1440 PNG (the game window's size), unedited.

## What to look for

- **Character**: proportions, bind pose, skin material readability.
- **Scale cubes**: each is exactly 1 m — use them to sanity-check anything
  whose size looks off.
- **Lighting**: one warm key light and fill sky; this is the temporary review
  rig, not the `0.1.0` daytime look.

## Known cosmetic issues in the review scene

- The gray floor material renders with a speckled pattern instead of flat
  gray — suspect the `Constant3Vector` wiring in `Tools/ue_build_review_map.py`.
  Cosmetic only; the floor exists so shadows and scale read correctly.
- The horizon shows a black band below the sky atmosphere (no distant ground
  plane). Expected in the empty review scene.

## Conventions

- `review-NN-name.png` names are produced by `AGigLineShotActor`
  (`Game/GigLine/Source/GigLine/GigLineShotActor.h`); the camera list lives in
  `Tools/ue_build_review_map.py`.
- Add or adjust shots there when new content needs review, then update this
  README's table in the same change.
