zwitschi 0383eabc8e review: put the character on the floor, split the cubes, commit the shots
The review floor was a 5 cm slab centred 50 cm down, so the character floated
1.8 m above it. The floor is now 90 m x 90 m x 10 cm with its top face at Z 0 and
the character measures Z 0..83 cm - feet on the plane.

Two cubes only: A on the ground as the contact/scale reference, B held at 2 m so
its cast shadow separates from the body for comparison. The scale-cubes camera
was still aimed at the old three-cube row and now looks at both from the south.

Screenshots are committed per the owner's instruction, and .gitignore no longer
excludes them.
