Tools/hero_facade_build.py builds the north elevation parametrically and writes a JSON report naming the evidence behind every part: the 25.75 m frontage and 14.5 m height are measured, the 4.96 m column bay comes from the sibling notes and matches that frontage, the three portal flights follow the photographs (five risers, overturning the inherited eight-step, 12 m wide claim), and the rest is labelled assumption. Tools/ue_hero_facade_import.py imports it with the ue_metric_v1 preset (2604 x 1257 x 1450 cm, 1892 tris, 4 materials) and places it on the measured building line of /Game/Hollywood/DemoMap. Two new review shots at review-04 and review-05, both pending approval. Camera placement cost four renders: the first two sat inside the facade body, and the frontage faces Unreal -Y, so a camera has to stand at Y < -1450 cm, not north of the building line in project terms.
Tools
Repeatable import/export and processing helpers. Anything that was done twice by hand belongs here.
Conventions
- One script, one job. No interactive prompts; every input is an argument.
- Each script documents its input format, output format, and the exact tool version it was tested with.
- Blender scripts run headless (
blender --background --python), so they can be re-run for a regression check. - No credentials, no absolute machine paths, no writes outside the project by default.
- A script that produces game content logs what it produced, so
Game/Contentcan be audited against it.
Helpers
render_screenshots.sh— visual-review pipeline: rebuilds/Game/Test/ReviewMapfrom current content (ue_build_review_map.py), runs the game on it in-gamemode, letsAGigLineShotActor(Game/GigLine/Source/GigLine/) capture the fixed camera list, and copies the PNGs into the gitignoredScreenshots/. SeeScreenshots/README.md.check-lfs.sh— repository guard: fails ifgit-lfsor thelfsfilter is missing, or if an LFS-tracked file was committed as a plain blob.site_assembly.py— assembles terrain + street + blockout into one file and raycasts the walking routes for holes and steps.street_mesh.py— road, kerbs, and sidewalks on the DEM, in the project frame; kerbs flush at the three crossings.terrain_from_dem.py— terrain grid from the committed DEM, with building footprints cut out.blosm_blockout.py— headless Blosm import of the committed.osmextract into a.blend, with a per-building scale report. Exact invocation inArt/blender/README.md.page_image_fetch.py— resolves a web page'sog:imageand downloads it, with page URL and hash in a local sidecar. Works for Flickr, Commons file pages, and most photo blogs.commons_fetch.py— Wikimedia Commons reference fetcher. Search, exactFile:titles, or a whole Commons category (--category), thumbnails, provenancesidecar.jsonper folder. Wikimedia throttlesupload.wikimedia.org(HTTP 429), so keep batches to six or fewer files and pass--delay 3; a throttled file is skipped and recorded rather than aborting the run. Writes only into the gitignoredArt/reference/; reference images are never committed.
Planned helpers
- Blender export preset runner (named presets, metric scale assertion)
- OSM extract fetch and manifest writer (records date, bounds, checksum)
- QGIS processing steps as batch scripts, so the geo cleanup is reproducible rather than GUI-only
