- Review doc: all seven signoff items ticked (owner reviewed the local renders). - Screenshots README: per-shot Approved column, 4/4 approved 2026-11-09. - CHANGELOG: full 0.1.4 entry (kit, textures, materials, theatre trim, visual loop, the five placement/collision fixes, verified results, limitations). - TODO: 0.1.4 section removed; new 0.1.5 'Facade finishing' patch carries the retail neighbours (from their own references, not the theatre's), hero fluting and motto band, the blockout cleaning pass, and a 1440p performance re-measure with the kit in the map. - ROADMAP status updated.

0.1.4 façade review — signoff
Four demo-map captures from the facades-0.1.4 branch, after the module kit, the textured materials and the theatre marquee went in. Tick each row you accept; anything not ticked is still open. Mechanical checks (blank/size/tone) already pass via python3 Tools/visual_loop.py --verify.
Reference photographs to compare against: Art/reference/hollywood/ and Art/reference/el-capitan-* (local, not committed). Regenerate the set with Tools/render_screenshots.sh --verify.
Signoff
- 1. Block from the north sidewalk — hero between its neighbours, sidewalk and road read correctly
- 2. Street level — colonnade, shopfronts and window rhythm hold up at eye height
- 3. Crossing — zebra bars, kerb line and the frontage behind
- 4. North buildings — TCL and Tussaud's framed across the boulevard
- 5. Materials — stone reads as coursed stone, glazing as glass, not flat colour
- 6. Theatre trim — marquee and blade sign proportions believable at street level
- 7. Approve
v0.1.4(kit + materials + theatre trim); remaining geometry moves to the next version
1. Block from the north sidewalk
Expected: the neoclassical hero façade between its neighbours, both sidewalks and the road in the foreground. Metric: 0.68 similarity, edges 0.28× reference.
2. Street level
Expected: the hero colonnade with adjacent frontage buildings either side, shopfronts at pavement level, 4.96 m bay rhythm. Metric: 0.33, edges 0.27×.
3. The designated crossing
Expected: continental zebra bars on the asphalt at s=130 m, south frontage and colonnade behind. Metric: 0.42, edges 0.34×.
4. North-side buildings
Expected: TCL Chinese Theatre and Madame Tussaud's across Hollywood Blvd, full height in frame. Metric: 0.34, edges 0.14×.
Notes for the decision: every defect found in this cycle that survived more than one render was a placement error, not a shading one (a 119 m frame shift, a kit 12 km off, a marquee mirrored across the street). Placement is now probed rather than eyeballed, so the remaining risk in these four images is likeness, not correctness. The low edge ratios are partly structural — a wide block view compared with a tight façade crop always scores low — so weigh the images, not the scores.
