zwitschi 830ce596fa lighting: fixed daytime rig, real surface materials, crossing fix
Fixed daytime lighting and basic ambience for the DemoMap:

- Sun pitch -50 / yaw 120 (intensity 4, warm), sky light 2.6 with real-time
  capture, sky atmosphere, height fog, and an unbound post-process volume with
  fixed exposure (min = max brightness) so no shot washes out or crushes to
  black depending on how much sky it frames.
- Root cause of the washed-out look was NOT the sun: Blender's flat diffuse
  colours do not survive the FBX->Unreal import. Every site material arrived
  white and the terrain arrived with WorldGridMaterial. The demo builder now
  creates and assigns M_Asphalt / M_Concrete / M_Ground / M_RoadPaint.
- Crossing fix: each zebra band was its own object, so Blender renamed the
  duplicates .001/.002 and site assembly (exact-name append) kept only one.
  All bands are now a single Crossing_Markings mesh (36 verts, 3 bands).
- Terrain gets a Ground_Earth material in the builder so it stops importing
  as a white grid.
- Demo cameras: street-level no longer sits inside the facade body (was
  rendering its back face), and the crossing camera aims at the designated
  s=130.1 crossing (UE X -14956) looking along the crosswalk.

Screenshots re-rendered; the four demo views are marked needs-review for the
owner's approval. MEMORY.md records the material-import, exposure,
light_color, band-naming and camera-bounds traps.

Art

Editable sources and original textures. Exported, game-ready output goes to Game/Content/.

Layout (as content arrives)

Path Contents
Art/blender/ .blend sources, one file per building or asset family
Art/textures/ Original texture sources before baking or compression
Art/reference/ Reference photography, local only, gitignored — never committed. Fetch with Tools/commons_fetch.py; what it is evidence for goes in Docs/reference-notes-hollywood.md

Rules

  • Every .blend saves with a real-world metric scene scale. No exceptions; scale drift is the main source of import defects.
  • Named export presets only. Record the preset name and its settings next to the asset that used it.
  • Textures enter as a documented source (author, licence, source URL) and are listed in ../THIRD_PARTY_NOTICES.md.
  • Reference photography is never committed and never shipped. It is evidence, not content. Licensing is not a gate for local private development, but anything that would derive from a reference in a shipped asset needs a licensing decision before release.
  • .blend files are LFS-tracked and lockable; pull before editing.
