No texture, mesh or other derivative is made from it and nothing derived from it ships, so the share-alike clause does not extend to the project's assets. If a material were ever derived from this frame, it would need a separate review before use. ## Redactions and permissions - The facade photo's foreground crowd (bottom 30%) was cropped out before committing; no faces were blurred because none remain at the committed crop. - The remaining files only contain incidental pedestrians at street distance (a few pixels tall); no identifiable faces, plates or interiors. - Public frontage only; no interiors, no staff, no property-permission requirement. - The star close-up was cropped at the right edge to remove a parked car and its readable plate. - The night context frame was cropped to the upper 60% so the foreground crowd and a readable plate are not committed; the remaining people are distant silhouettes. - The Walk of Fame frames show pedestrians from behind at street distance; no identifiable faces. ## What was derived from this set | Decision | Evidence | Where it landed | | --- | --- | --- | | Six Ionic columns, ~2.4 m spacing, 8 steps | facade photo measured against the door width | `docs/design/venues.md#hollywood-boulevard` geometry notes | | Masonic parapet motto and medallions | 1922 elevation + facade photo | `WorldBuilder` facade, `docs/screenshots/01-venue-overview.png` | | Three vertical event banners | facade photo | facade banners and the day/night capture set | | Red carpet + barrier staging narrows the sidewalk | premiere photo | `docs/design/venues.md#hollywood-boulevard` event staging notes | | Across-street height and plaza opening | Ovation photo | opposite frontage massing | | TV Studio arrival staging (bulb canopy, car, barriers) | premiere staging photo | `VENUE_SPECS["tv_studio"]` and the Late Night TV Studio venue docs | | Terrazzo band width, star size/spacing | terrazzo + star close-up photos | `WalkOfFame` band geometry and the paver material | | Neighbour blade sign and marquee scale | El Capitan Theatre photo | `NeighbourBlocks/ElCapitanTheatre` | | Night street-lamp bloom and blue-hour palette | night context photo | `PHASE_LIGHTING` late values (palette check only; no geometry taken) | ## Generated boards used with this set Generated frames are kept in [`../../concepts/hollywood_boulevard/`](../../concepts/hollywood_boulevard/README.md).
