gig-line/Screenshots

Screenshots — visual review

Rendered in-game captures of the current project content, generated by Tools/render_screenshots.sh. The PNGs are committed alongside this README so a reviewer sees exactly what the build rendered.

How to regenerate

Tools/render_screenshots.sh

Rebuilds Game/GigLine/Content/Test/ReviewMap.umap from current content, runs the game on it (and on the DemoMap for the walkable views), walks the fixed camera list via AGigLineShotActor, 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, remove retired ones here.

Naming: shots use their stable camera name (no index prefix), so adding or reordering cameras never renumbers files or orphans the old ones. Click an image for the full-size PNG.

13	demo/review-demo-crossing.png		Demo	along the crosswalk	The designated mid-block crossing at s=130 m (UE X -14956): three continental zebra bars on the asphalt, kerbs flushed to ramps

Scene conventions

• Review map (/Game/Test/ReviewMap): 160 m floor, top face at Z 0; the character measures Z 0..83 cm. One warm key light plus sky fill.
• Cubes: Cube_ScaleTest_A rests on the floor, Cube_ScaleTest_B floats at Z 2 m; both are exactly 1 m — the scale reference.
• Demo map (/Game/Hollywood/DemoMap): fixed daytime — sun at pitch −50 / yaw 120 (intensity 4, warm), sky light 2.6, sky atmosphere, height fog, fixed exposure.
• Materials: every exported surface carries a look-developed material built in Tools/ue_build_demo_map.py (ensure_material) because Blender's flat diffuse colours do not survive the FBX → Unreal import. Each has an explicit roughness and a subtle world-space noise blend between two shades: M_Asphalt (0.92), M_Concrete (0.88), M_KerbConcrete (0.85), M_Ground (0.98), M_RoadPaint (0.62), M_FacadeStone (0.72) and M_Stucco (0.86) for the north-side buildings.
• Lighting is dynamic-only (r.AllowStaticLighting=False, all lights Movable), so no lighting build is ever required.
• Attribution overlay: every shot carries the required ODbL credit in the bottom-left (© OpenStreetMap contributors / Data © OpenStreetMap contributors, ODbL 1.0 — openstreetmap.org/copyright), drawn by AGigLineHUD. Screenshots are requested with the UI shown so the obligation is visible in review.

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 rhythm: six columns at 4.96 m across 25.75 m should read as the photographs in silhouette.

Known cosmetic issues

• Floor speckle from the Constant3Vector wiring in Tools/ue_build_review_map.py.
• Hero façade renders pale — Blender flat colours with no normal/roughness, so it reads as untextured stone (the 0.1.4 façade patch, not a lighting bug).
• Banners and window panels float detached from the colonnade wall (next modelling pass).
• Between kerb and building line, the walkable surface is the terrain mesh, not a modelled pavement.
