Tools/hero_facade_build.py builds the north elevation parametrically and writes a JSON report naming the evidence behind every part: the 25.75 m frontage and 14.5 m height are measured, the 4.96 m column bay comes from the sibling notes and matches that frontage, the three portal flights follow the photographs (five risers, overturning the inherited eight-step, 12 m wide claim), and the rest is labelled assumption. Tools/ue_hero_facade_import.py imports it with the ue_metric_v1 preset (2604 x 1257 x 1450 cm, 1892 tris, 4 materials) and places it on the measured building line of /Game/Hollywood/DemoMap. Two new review shots at review-04 and review-05, both pending approval. Camera placement cost four renders: the first two sat inside the facade body, and the frontage faces Unreal -Y, so a camera has to stand at Y < -1450 cm, not north of the building line in project terms.

# Screenshots — visual review
|
|
|
|
Rendered in-game captures of the current project content, generated by
|
|
[`Tools/render_screenshots.sh`](../Tools/render_screenshots.sh). **The PNGs in
|
|
this folder are never committed** (`.gitignore` excludes everything here
|
|
except this README) — they exist on disk so a human can review the game's
|
|
appearance after every change that could affect it. The `![...]` embeds below
|
|
resolve locally next to this file.
|
|
|
|
## How to regenerate
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
Tools/render_screenshots.sh
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
This rebuilds `Game/GigLine/Content/Test/ReviewMap.umap` from the current
|
|
content (floor, key light, sky, MPFB character, the three 1 m scale cubes),
|
|
runs the game on it in `-game` mode, lets `AGigLineShotActor` walk its fixed
|
|
camera list and capture, and copies the PNGs here. Takes about a minute.
|
|
|
|
Each screenshot is embedded below with its description and approval state.
|
|
After reviewing, tick the approval checkbox so agents know whether the look
|
|
is accepted or needs work.

## review-00-overview.png — generated 2026-11-07, approval: ☐ pending
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Wide shot from the south-west, elevated. The review scene as a whole:
|
|
character at origin, three 1 m calibration cubes in a row at 4 m north, gray
|
|
floor, one key light plus fill sky.
|
|
|
|
## review-01-character.png — generated 2026-11-07, approval: ☐ pending
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Medium shot, eye height, from the south. The MPFB-generated character with
|
|
its baked skin material and A-pose bind.
|
|
|
|
## review-02-scale-cubes.png — generated 2026-11-07, approval: ☐ pending
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Close three-quarter view of the cube row. Each cube is exactly 1 m — use it
|
|
to judge scale against the character.
|
|
|
|
## review-03-first-person.png — generated 2026-11-07, approval: ☐ pending
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
New shot for the first-person player work. Camera is at 165 cm — the player's
|
|
eye height — looking from behind and slightly south-east of the spawn point.
|
|
It shows where the player lands (the character stands at origin, which is also
|
|
the default spawn) and how the capsule/camera relate to the 1 m cubes.
|
|
|
|
**What changed in the game since the last review:** the project now has a
|
|
first-person `AGigLineCharacter` (1.75 m capsule, 1.60 m eye camera, 4 m/s
|
|
walk, Enhanced Input with WASD + mouse look + jump) wired as the default pawn
|
|
by `AGigLineGameModeBase`. Nothing visible from these cameras should differ:
|
|
the review map spawns its own pawn-free staging, so this shot is the reference
|
|
for the new pawn's position and eye height, not of the pawn itself.
|
|
|
|
**Not shown, needs a human check:** walking, mouse look and jump can only be
|
|
judged interactively. Launch the editor, press Play on `Test/ReviewMap`, and
|
|
confirm W/A/S/D move in the expected directions, the mouse looks around with no
|
|
acceleration, and Space jumps once per press.

## review-04-hero-facade-front.png — generated 2026-11-07, approval: ☐ pending
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
New: the **hero façade blockout** for 6840 Hollywood Blvd — six columns at
|
|
4.96 m centres across the measured 25.75 m frontage, entablature 2.2 m,
|
|
parapet 1.6 m, plinth and three portal flights. Straight on from the north
|
|
sidewalk, looking south.
|
|
|
|
What it establishes: frontage width, column rhythm and the vertical stack
|
|
(plinth → colonnade → entablature → parapet) all read as the photographs do
|
|
in silhouette.
|
|
|
|
What it does **not** have yet: the banners, windows, portal recesses and motto
|
|
band are modelled but sit *behind* the colonnade, so from this distance the
|
|
elevation reads as a plain white mass. The materials are flat colours from
|
|
Blender, not look-developed. Do not judge surfaces here — that is the
|
|
materials pass.
|
|
|
|
## review-05-hero-facade-oblique.png — generated 2026-11-07, approval: ☐ pending
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Oblique from the north-west. Shows the building's depth (12 m modelled body),
|
|
the column line standing proud of the mass, and the scale relative to the
|
|
review floor and character far to the left.
|
|
|
|
**Known issue, recorded rather than hidden:** the façade stands on the review
|
|
floor at Z 0 but is 25 m away from the original review scene, so it appears to
|
|
float over the horizon band. That is the review scene's limitation, not the
|
|
asset's; the real map will have the terrain under it.
|
|
|
|
## What to look for
|
|
|
|
- **Character**: proportions, bind pose, skin material readability.
|
|
- **Scale cubes**: each is exactly 1 m — use them to sanity-check anything
|
|
whose size looks off.
|
|
- **Lighting**: one warm key light and fill sky; this is the temporary review
|
|
rig, not the `0.1.0` daytime look.
|
|
|
|
## Known cosmetic issues in the review scene
|
|
|
|
- The gray floor material renders with a speckled pattern instead of flat
|
|
gray — suspect the `Constant3Vector` wiring in `Tools/ue_build_review_map.py`.
|
|
Cosmetic only; the floor exists so shadows and scale read correctly.
|
|
- The horizon shows a black band below the sky atmosphere (no distant ground
|
|
plane). Expected in the empty review scene.
|
|
|
|
## Conventions
|
|
|
|
- `review-NN-name.png` names are produced by `AGigLineShotActor`
|
|
(`Game/GigLine/Source/GigLine/GigLineShotActor.h`); the camera list lives in
|
|
`Tools/ue_build_review_map.py`.
|
|
- Add or adjust shots there when new content needs review, then update this
|
|
README's table in the same change.
