Adds the five remaining verified south-side buildings to the demo block (6922, 6902, 6838 El Capitan Theatre, 6822 Budget, 6806-6820, 6800 Lee Drug) exported in place from the OSM blockout and staged by the demo builder. Adding neighbours exposed a pre-existing placement bug that could not be seen while the hero stood alone: - UE south is +Y (south sidewalk Y +718..+1447), but the hero facade sat at Y -1450 on the NORTH side and at X -12024..-9420, which is 26 m east of the 6840 footprint (the frontage gap is X -14591..-12082). - The two north-side buildings were on the SOUTH side, because their exporter mirrored Y. Fixes: hero moved to X -13336 / Y +1307, inside its frontage gap; frontage and north buildings export without a Y mirror (the FBX preset already lands Blender -Y south on UE +Y south); player start and demo cameras moved to the north sidewalk looking south; sun raised to pitch -62 so both frontages read instead of the north side going to silhouette. Screenshots re-rendered; the four demo views are marked needs-review because the whole block changed.

# Screenshots — visual review
|
||
|
||
Rendered in-game captures of the current project content, generated by
|
||
[`Tools/render_screenshots.sh`](../Tools/render_screenshots.sh). The PNGs are
|
||
committed alongside this README so a reviewer sees exactly what the build
|
||
rendered.
|
||
|
||
## How to regenerate
|
||
|
||
```bash
|
||
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.
|
||
|
||
> Naming: shots use their stable camera name (no index prefix), so adding or
|
||
> reordering cameras never renumbers files or orphans the old ones. Click an
|
||
> image for the full-size PNG.

||
## Shot list
|
||
|
||
Review-map shots ☑ approved. **Demo-map shots: needs review** — the block
|
||
frontage pass (2026-11-07) added the neighbouring buildings and corrected the
|
||
hero and north-building placement, so all four demo views changed.

|

|
||
## Scene conventions
|
||
|
||
- **Review map** (`/Game/Test/ReviewMap`): 160 m floor, top face at Z 0; the
|
||
character measures Z 0..83 cm. One warm key light plus sky fill.
|
||
- **Cubes**: `Cube_ScaleTest_A` rests on the floor, `Cube_ScaleTest_B` floats at
|
||
Z 2 m; both are exactly 1 m — the scale reference.
|
||
- **Demo map** (`/Game/Hollywood/DemoMap`): fixed daytime — sun at pitch −50 /
|
||
yaw 120 (intensity 4, warm), sky light 2.6, sky atmosphere, height fog, fixed
|
||
exposure.
|
||
- **Materials**: every exported surface carries a look-developed material built
|
||
in `Tools/ue_build_demo_map.py` (`ensure_material`) because Blender's flat
|
||
diffuse colours do not survive the FBX → Unreal import. Each has an explicit
|
||
roughness and a subtle world-space noise blend between two shades:
|
||
`M_Asphalt` (0.92), `M_Concrete` (0.88), `M_KerbConcrete` (0.85),
|
||
`M_Ground` (0.98), `M_RoadPaint` (0.62), `M_FacadeStone` (0.72) and
|
||
`M_Stucco` (0.86) for the north-side buildings.
|
||
- **Lighting is dynamic-only** (`r.AllowStaticLighting=False`, all lights
|
||
Movable), so no lighting build is ever required.
|
||
- **Attribution overlay**: every shot carries the required ODbL credit in the
|
||
bottom-left (`© OpenStreetMap contributors` / `Data © OpenStreetMap
|
||
contributors, ODbL 1.0 — openstreetmap.org/copyright`), drawn by
|
||
`AGigLineHUD`. Screenshots are requested with the UI shown so the obligation
|
||
is visible in review.
|
||
|
||
## 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.
