Re-rendered via Tools/render_screenshots.sh. The demo-north-buildings camera was re-pointed (was 9.5 km west, 85% sky; now frames both north buildings), and the DemoMap/ReviewMap now carry the re-staged shot cameras (PR #12 updated the .py but not the regenerated .umap). Screenshots README notes the refresh and that human approval of this set is pending.

# 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
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
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.

||
## Shot list
|
||
|
||
All shots ☑ approved 2026-11-07, including the block frontage pass that added the neighbouring buildings and corrected the hero and north-building placement.
|
||
|
||
**2026-11-08 — regenerated set.** Re-rendered via `Tools/render_screenshots.sh` after the placement release check. The `demo-north-buildings` camera was re-pointed (it previously sat 9.5 km west and framed 85 % sky); that shot now shows both north buildings, and all maps carry the re-staged shot cameras. **Human approval of this regenerated set is pending** — tick the table once reviewed.

Flat surfaces = `0.1.4` façade scope. |
|
||
|
||
## 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.
|
||
|
||
## 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.
