Iterated the loop five times against Art/reference/hero-masonic/. What took the iterations was the material, not the geometry: - M_FacadeStone in /Game/Hollywood/Site is the KIT stone; the hero does not use it, so warming it changed nothing. - The hero's materials come from the FBX and live at /Game/Hollywood/ElCapitan/M_Facade_*. Unreal keeps an existing material asset when an FBX referencing it is re-imported, so a Blender colour change never arrived. - Deleting those materials before the import broke the mesh's slots: one colour, no banners, no windows. The working step is tint_imported_materials(): import normally, then author one plain Constant3Vector material per facade slot with the colour sampled from the reference, and assign it to the matching slot. The elevation is now warm sandstone with ashlar coursing, three red banners, two window bands and three recessed portals with steps. Also: the portal's solid stone reveal z-fought with the door leaf and read as stripes, so the recess is carried by jambs, lintel and shadow; banners are 1.35 x 6.2 m hung from 7.2 m instead of 1.55 x 5.4. Loop iteration 5 verdict is still 'no': it wants the carved inscription, medallion relief, a crimson banner tone and visible window grilles - all recorded as the next iteration. Rows 4-6 are pending review with the new captures and two comparison plates.

Rules
- Every
.blendsaves 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.
.blendfiles are LFS-tracked and lockable; pull before editing.
