Tools/visual_loop.py:
- --verify gates every capture against its expectation in Tools/visual_targets.json
(missing, blank, tone-less or wrong-size shots fail), so 'each screenshot shows
what was expected' is checked rather than assumed.
- --compare measures luminance, RMS contrast, edge density, palette distance and a
3x3 luma grid against the reference photograph, with a 0-1 similarity score.
- --iteration N writes Art/reference/iterations/N/{metrics.json,feedback.md}; the
feedback names the skill to consult (blender-modeler, archviz, materials, lookdev,
camera-cinematography), so the next modelling pass starts from a measurement.
- Iterations are gitignored until the owner confirms a shot; only confirmed shots
are promoted into Screenshots/.
Screenshots/ holds demo-map captures only now: render_screenshots.sh renders just
DemoMap, collects the shots and runs the verification gate (--verify); the review
staging map is no longer rendered for review and its PNGs are removed. The README
is rewritten around the four demo shots with per-shot expected content and a
verified column, and no longer claims the review staging set.
Tests: 67 pass (13 new) covering metrics on synthetic images, comparison scoring,
the feedback rules and the target spec (including that every target is a demo shot
and that iterations are gitignored).
Gig Line
A Linux-first Unreal Engine game about walking and driving through a real city. The first release, 0.1.0, is a walkable exterior demo around 6840 Hollywood Blvd / El Capitan Entertainment Centre, covering the south-side frontage between Highland Avenue and Orange Drive plus the north-side frontage within 50 m of the boulevard.
Status
0.1.0 is in progress. The workstation, engine, geo pipeline and project bootstrap are done and verified; a walkable DemoMap exists with terrain, street, sidewalks, kerbs and the hero façade placed from measured coordinates. Façades are still blockouts, and materials are flat colours — both are planned patches.
Current tasks are in TODO.md and the development plan is in ROADMAP.md; what was learned the hard way is in MEMORY.md.
Layout

Getting started
git lfs install # required: content, images, audio, and geo files are LFS-tracked
git lfs pull
Tools/check-lfs.sh # verifies the lfs filter is active and files are stored as pointers
The engine is installed outside the repository and pinned in Docs/toolchain.md. Setup is in Docs/setup.md; building and the content pipeline are in Docs/build.md.
