The portal detail shot failed for a modelling reason, not a camera reason: the doors were 0.1 m panels on a solid plinth, so they read as shading. The plinth is now four piers plus a lintel band, with a 1.2 m reveal, stone jambs and lintels standing 0.10 m proud and three mullions per opening. review-06 frames them from 8 m at eye height. Two defects fixed while doing it: the jamb boxes hung 0.15 m below the pavement, so the facade imported with min Z -15 cm; and a rebuild run against a read-only .blend silently skipped the save, which is why screenshots kept showing the old geometry.

# 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
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
The script rebuilds `Game/GigLine/Content/Test/ReviewMap.umap` from the current content, runs the
|
|
game on it, lets `AGigLineShotActor` walk the fixed camera list, 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 and delete retired ones from this folder.
|
|
|
|
## Scene conventions
|
|
|
|
- **Floor**: 160 m square, 10 cm thick, top face exactly at Z 0. Anything standing on it has bounds
|
|
starting at Z 0; the character measures Z 0..83 cm.
|
|
- **Cubes**: `Cube_ScaleTest_A` floats at Z 2 m, `Cube_ScaleTest_B` rests on the floor. Both are
|
|
exactly 1 m, so they double as the scale reference.
|
|
- **Lighting**: one warm directional key light plus a sky fill. This is the review rig, not the
|
|
`0.1.0` daytime look.
|
|
- **Known limitation**: outside the floor there is no geometry, so the horizon is a black band.
|

## Shots
|
|
|
|
## review-00-overview.png — Wide scene overview, approval: ☐ pending
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Character and both cubes on the 160 m floor, camera 7 m up looking north-east. Reads the whole review layout at once.
|
|
|
|
## review-01-character.png — MPFB mannequin, mid shot, approval: ☐ pending
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The imported MPFB character at eye height from the south. Check the feet meet the plane: the contact shadow joins the soles.
|
|
|
|
## review-02-scale-cubes.png — Scale cubes, approval: ☐ pending
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Both 1 m cubes from the south: the left one floats at 2 m, the right one rests on the floor. Compares cast shadow against contact shadow.
|
|
|
|
## review-03-player-placement.png — Player pawn placement, approval: ☐ pending
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The pawn the game actually spawns (`AGigLineCharacter`) at the spawn point, with the floating cube behind. Confirms capsule height and where the player lands.
|
|
|
|
## review-04-ground-contact.png — Ground contact detail, approval: ☐ pending
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Low camera, knee height, close on the mannequin's feet. A floating or sinking character is obvious here without measuring.
|
|
|
|
## review-04-hero-facade-front.png — review-04-hero-facade-front, approval: ☐ pending
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
## review-05-hero-facade-oblique.png — review-05-hero-facade-oblique, approval: ☐ pending
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
## review-05-shadow-compare.png — Shadow comparison, approval: ☐ pending
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Low angle, both cubes side by side with the character between them. The detached shadow of the floating cube against the grounded one.
|
|
|
|
## review-06-hero-portals.png — Hero façade portals, approval: ☐ pending
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
New: generated 2026-11-07 after the portals were rebuilt. Eye height at 8 m, filling the frame with the three doorways, their flights, and the plinth. The doors are now genuine 1.2 m recesses cut through four plinth piers, with stone jambs and lintels standing proud and three mullions in each opening.
|
|
|
|
What this shot is evidence for: that the entrance is three separate openings with individual flights (not the inherited "eight steps, 12 m wide"), and that the facade stands on Z 0 rather than sinking into the ground.
|
|
|
|
## review-07-hero-facade-front.png — Hero façade, north sidewalk, approval: ☐ pending
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Closer straight-on view from the road side of the building line.
|
|
|
|
## review-08-hero-facade-oblique.png — Hero façade, oblique, approval: ☐ pending
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
From the north-west, showing the 12 m body and the column line standing proud of the mass.
|
|
|
|
## 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 proportions**: six columns at 4.96 m centres across 25.75 m; check the rhythm reads as the
|
|
photographs do in silhouette.
|
|
|
|
## Known cosmetic issues
|
|
|
|
- The floor renders with a faint speckle from the `Constant3Vector` wiring in
|
|
`Tools/ue_build_review_map.py`. Cosmetic only.
|
|
- The hero façade still has flat Blender colours; surfaces are a later materials pass.
