zwitschi ece48649f5 feat: terrain mesh from the DEM, and correct the blockout frame
Tools/terrain_from_dem.py builds a 191x106 grid at 2 m over the block, Z being
NAVD88 minus the origin ground. Building footprints from the OSM extract are cut
out so rooftops never become terrain (72 footprints, 6310 cells). Spot checks
reproduce the measured profile: origin 0.00, Orange Dr +3.39, south gutter
+0.93, crown +1.38, north sidewalk +1.43.

Blosm projects with a sphere, not an ellipsoid, so its frame was ~0.4% oversized
and rotated by meridian convergence: about 2 m at the theatre. The blockout now
fits a six-parameter affine into EPSG:26911 on five control points (0.0 cm
residual) and transforms root objects only, since children inherit and double
transforming them read as a 2 m placement error.

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

Pre-production. Workstation setup and repository scaffolding are in progress; no engine, content, or geographic data is committed yet. Current state is tracked in ROADMAP.md, and the per-task setup state in Docs/setup.md.

Layout

Path Contents
Game/ Unreal project, configuration, source, game-ready content
Art/ Editable Blender files and original textures
Geo/ Source manifests, permitted geographic data, processing scripts
Tools/ Repeatable import/export helpers
Docs/ Setup, toolchain pins, licensing, release checks

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. The full procedure is in Docs/setup.md.

Licensing

Code licence is an open decision (MIT proposed). Engine, art, and geographic data are licensed separately; see Docs/licensing.md. OSM-derived output carries "© OpenStreetMap contributors".
