Screenshots — visual review

Rendered in-game captures of the current project content, generated by Tools/render_screenshots.sh. The PNGs are committed alongside this README so a reviewer sees exactly what the build rendered. The ![...] embeds below resolve next to this file.

How to regenerate

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 embedded below with its description and approval state. After reviewing, tick the approval checkbox so agents know whether the look is accepted or needs work.

review-00-overview.png — generated 2026-11-07, approval: ☐ pending

Wide shot from the south-west, elevated. The review scene as a whole: character at origin, three 1 m calibration cubes in a row at 4 m north, gray floor, one key light plus fill sky.

review-01-character.png — generated 2026-11-07, approval: ☐ pending

Medium shot, eye height, from the south. The MPFB-generated character with its baked skin material and A-pose bind.

review-02-scale-cubes.png — generated 2026-11-07, approval: ☐ pending

Close three-quarter view of the cube row. Each cube is exactly 1 m — use it to judge scale against the character.

review-03-first-person.png — generated 2026-11-07, approval: ☐ pending

New shot for the first-person player work. Camera is at 165 cm — the player's eye height — looking from behind and slightly south-east of the spawn point. It shows where the player lands (the character stands at origin, which is also the default spawn) and how the capsule/camera relate to the 1 m cubes.

What changed in the game since the last review: the project now has a first-person AGigLineCharacter (1.75 m capsule, 1.60 m eye camera, 4 m/s walk, Enhanced Input with WASD + mouse look + jump) wired as the default pawn by AGigLineGameModeBase. Nothing visible from these cameras should differ: the review map spawns its own pawn-free staging, so this shot is the reference for the new pawn's position and eye height, not of the pawn itself.

Not shown, needs a human check: walking, mouse look and jump can only be judged interactively. Launch the editor, press Play on Test/ReviewMap, and confirm W/A/S/D move in the expected directions, the mouse looks around with no acceleration, and Space jumps once per press.

review-04-hero-facade-front.png — generated 2026-11-07, approval: ☐ pending

New: the hero façade blockout for 6840 Hollywood Blvd — six columns at 4.96 m centres across the measured 25.75 m frontage, entablature 2.2 m, parapet 1.6 m, plinth and three portal flights. Straight on from the north sidewalk, looking south.

What it establishes: frontage width, column rhythm and the vertical stack (plinth → colonnade → entablature → parapet) all read as the photographs do in silhouette.

What it does not have yet: the banners, windows, portal recesses and motto band are modelled but sit behind the colonnade, so from this distance the elevation reads as a plain white mass. The materials are flat colours from Blender, not look-developed. Do not judge surfaces here — that is the materials pass.

review-05-hero-facade-oblique.png — generated 2026-11-07, approval: ☐ pending

Oblique from the north-west. Shows the building's depth (12 m modelled body), the column line standing proud of the mass, and the scale relative to the review floor and character far to the left.

Known issue, recorded rather than hidden: the façade stands on the review floor at Z 0 but is 25 m away from the original review scene, so it appears to float over the horizon band. That is the review scene's limitation, not the asset's; the real map will have the terrain under it.

Scene corrections in this pass (2026-11-07)

Three things were wrong in the staging and are fixed:

• The floor was 5 cm thick and centred at Z −50 cm, so the character floated about 1.8 m above it. The floor is now 90 m x 90 m x 10 cm with its top face exactly at Z 0, and the character stands on it: measured bounds are Z 0..83 cm — feet on the plane, no gap.
• Cubes: one on the ground, one floating. Cube_ScaleTest_A sits on the floor (base at Z 0) as the ground-contact and scale reference; Cube_ScaleTest_B hangs at 2 m so its cast shadow separates from the object and can be compared against the grounded cube's contact shadow.
• The scale-cubes camera was still pointing at the old three-cube row. It now looks at both cubes from the south at (0, −900, 200) cm.

Known scene limitation, unchanged: the floor is 90 m across and the horizon is a black band where no geometry exists. That is the review scene, not the asset.

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.
• Agents: see the Visual review section in AGENTS.md.
