zwitschi 84295a1f03 docs: consolidate screenshot README, drop stale shot refs in roadmap
- Screenshots/README.md: collapsed per-shot blurbs into one approved
  review-map table + one demo-map table; removed the duplicate
  hero-facade-front/oblique entries (leftovers from an old camera list that
  duplicated review-07/08) and the trailing duplicate 'known issues' block.
- Removed the three orphan PNGs (review-03-first-person, review-04/05
  hero-facade) that no longer match the camera list.
- ROADMAP.md: fix stale 'review pending' on character and hero-facade items
  (now approved), and point facade review refs at review-06/07/08.

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.

How to regenerate

Tools/render_screenshots.sh

Rebuilds Game/GigLine/Content/Test/ReviewMap.umap from current content, runs the game on it (and on the DemoMap for the walkable views), walks the fixed camera list via AGigLineShotActor, captures each shot, copies the PNGs here and exits — about a minute. The camera list lives in Tools/ue_build_review_map.py; add new shots there, remove retired ones here.

Scene conventions

  • Floor: 160 m square, top face at Z 0. The character measures Z 0..83 cm.
  • Cubes: Cube_ScaleTest_A floats at Z 2 m, Cube_ScaleTest_B rests on the floor; both are exactly 1 m — the scale reference.
  • Lighting: one warm key light plus sky fill (review rig, not the 0.1.0 daytime look). Beyond the floor is open: the horizon is a black band.

Review-map shots

All ☑ approved 2026-11-07 unless noted.

Demo-map views

Rendered from /Game/Hollywood/DemoMap, the walkable level.

File Approval What it shows
demo/review-00-demo-spawn-view.png ☑ Spawn view: north sidewalk, the hero façade across the road
demo/review-01-demo-street-level.png ☑ Street level: portals, flights, banners, colonnade
demo/review-02-demo-crossing.png needs review From the west, looking along the block (foreground blocking)
demo/review-03-demo-north-buildings.png ☑ North-side background buildings (TCL, Tussaud's) across the Blvd

What to look for

  • Ground contact: feet meet the plane with no gap and no shadow seam.
  • Scale: everything checks against the 1 m cubes.
  • Façade rhythm: six columns at 4.96 m across 25.75 m should read as the photographs in silhouette.

Known cosmetic issues

  • Floor speckle from the Constant3Vector wiring in Tools/ue_build_review_map.py.
  • Hero façade renders pale — Blender flat colours with no normal/roughness, so it reads as untextured stone (the 0.1.4 façade patch, not a lighting bug).
  • Banners and window panels float detached from the colonnade wall (next modelling pass).
  • Between kerb and building line, the walkable surface is the terrain mesh, not a modelled pavement.
