The face pass added a brow ridge; lift the helmet mesh 2 cm so the brim sits above the eyes. Cap and hood were rendered on their characters and leave the brow/ears and face readable. Rebuild and re-bake the helmet; Python 87/87.

# TODO
|
||
|
||
Work is grouped by theme. Each item should be small enough to complete and verify on its own;
|
||
see `AGENTS.md` for the workflow and `MEMORY.md` for the decisions behind these plans.
|
||
|
||
## NPC gear fit (v0.6.1)
|
||
|
||
The 2026-11-01 detail pass fixed the bodies but not the props worn on them. In the portrait
|
||
capture (`--stages=day,portrait`, see the report in `docs/screens/realism/2026-11-01-npc/`) the
|
||
sunglasses span the whole upper face and the shoulder bag cuts through `npc_coat`'s skirt. Blender sources for gear
|
||
live in `tools/blender_assets.py` (`_build_gear()`), the contract in `docs/blender-assets.md`
|
||
(gear budget 1500 tris, `GEAR_ATTACH` points in `NpcAvatar`).
|
||
|
||
- [x] Measure the fit in Blender, not by eye: `python3 tools/blender_assets.py fit` prints each
|
||
character's measured head width and hip/skirt radius, then every head/back/chest gear
|
||
bounding box with head-band status or skirt clearance. Current measurements: head width
|
||
0.315 m; coat skirt 0.225 m, dress 0.260 m; sunglasses 0.282 m (0.90x head); shoulder-bag
|
||
x-clearance -0.025 m on the coat (radial -0.031 m on the dress).
|
||
- [x] Narrow `sunglasses` from 0.28 m to ~0.20 m. The hinges moved to ±0.075 (0.035 box), the
|
||
arms to ±0.098, and the lenses are 0.024 m radius at the same `y=-0.152`, `z=0.035` plane.
|
||
Rebuilt GLB/AO: measured width **0.202 m** (0.64x head), still inside the head band.
|
||
Also fixed `capture_realism.gd` so `--portrait-type=N` is actually parsed (it was documented
|
||
but ignored).
|
||
- [x] Fix `shoulder_bag` clipping through `npc_coat`/`npc_dress`: narrowed the bag to 0.06 m and
|
||
moved it outboard (centre x=0.292); the body's inner face is now 0.262 m, clearing the coat
|
||
(0.225) by 0.037 m and the dress (0.260) by 0.002 m. The strap's lower attach points sit on
|
||
the same outboard line. `fit` now measures the bag body separately from the torso strap.
|
||
- [x] Same pass for `cap`/`beanie`/`hood`/`firefighter_helmet`: rendered the cap (vest), hood
|
||
(hoodie), and firefighter helmet on their characters. Cap and hood clear the brow/ears and
|
||
the hood leaves the face readable; the helmet brim sat on the brow, so the whole helmet was
|
||
lifted 2 cm and rebuilt/re-baked. Beanie uses the same capped-shell sizing as the cap and is
|
||
currently unused; it is covered by the upcoming headgear regression check.
|
||
- [ ] Rebuild the gear (`build`) and re-bake AO (`tools/bake_ao.py`), then
|
||
`godot --headless --path . --import`.
|
||
- [ ] Add a regression test: `tools/test_blender_assets.py` checks the glasses width against the
|
||
head width, and `src/test/tests/test_npc_character.gd` checks the head/back attach nodes
|
||
stay outside the body silhouette radius.
|
||
- [ ] Re-capture the portrait (`--stages=day,portrait`) and the gallery shots; record the
|
||
before/after in `docs/screens/realism/<date>-gear/`.
|
||
- [ ] Consider a second character close-up for a hoodie/winter NPC so headgear is covered too
|
||
(`--portrait-type=5` already forces a hooded role for comparison).
|
||
|
||
## Venue geometry and the committed gallery (v0.6.1)
|
||
|
||
Today all three venues share the Hollywood `WorldBuilder` geometry, so the Joke Shop and studio
|
||
concepts are only compared on lighting (noted in `tools/scene_concepts.py` `SHOTS`). They also
|
||
have no stage in the committed `docs/screenshots/` gallery, only in `capture_realism.gd`.
|
||
|
||
- [ ] Extract a geometry spec per venue instead of branching inline: a `scenario.` (or
|
||
`WorldBuilder`) table of facade width/height, door style, window rows, awning/marquee
|
||
flags, street furniture set, palette and props, defaulting to the Hollywood values so
|
||
nothing regresses.
|
||
- [ ] Joke Shop: narrow brick alley (10–12 m wide), one warm wall lantern as the key light,
|
||
recessed door with a step, shuttered window, dumpster/AC clutter, no skyline ring — the
|
||
alley concept has depth, not a horizon.
|
||
- [ ] TV Studio: granite/stone facade, bulb canopy instead of the marquee, glossy black car on
|
||
the curb, stanchions and barrier line at the door, no palm trees.
|
||
- [ ] Keep navigation working: regenerate/verify the `NavigationRegion3D` bake per venue,
|
||
update sidewalk/steps/door waypoints (Joke Shop and Studio already have `sidewalk` and
|
||
`steps_end`), and confirm NPCs still reach the door (smoke + `test_venue_*`).
|
||
- [ ] Split the concept mapping so each venue is judged on its own frame (`joke_shop_*`,
|
||
`studio_*`) and drop the "shared geometry" caveat in `tools/scene_concepts.py`.
|
||
- [ ] Add both venues to the committed gallery: two new stages in
|
||
`src/test/capture_screenshots.gd` (`12-joke-shop.png`, `13-studio-arrival.png`) reusing the
|
||
existing `joke_shop_queue` / `studio_arrival` designs, then `check_screenshots.sh` and a
|
||
fresh judge run.
|
||
- [ ] Update `docs/architecture.md` (venue geometry), `README.md` (gallery) and the screenshot
|
||
table when the stages land.
|
||
|
||
## Forward+ desktop preset and a volumetric flashlight (v0.7.0)
|
||
|
||
The Compatibility renderer has no volumetrics, so the flashlight is a tight pool of light with
|
||
no visible shaft. A second desktop build can render it properly without touching the CI/default
|
||
path.
|
||
|
||
- [ ] Write the preset as an `override.cfg` (Godot reads it beside the binary/project) that sets
|
||
`rendering/renderer/rendering_method="forward_plus"`, enables `volumetric_fog_*` and SDFGI,
|
||
and keeps the Compatibility build as the default (`project.godot` unchanged).
|
||
- [ ] Gate the effect in code: only give the flashlight a volumetric component when the renderer
|
||
is Forward+ (`RenderingServer.get_rendering_device() != null`), so Web/CI builds are
|
||
untouched and the existing headless tests keep passing.
|
||
- [ ] Tune `light_volumetric_fog_energy`/`fog_density` for the LATE phase and re-check the
|
||
entrance so the shaft does not wash the facade again (the reason the wide cone was cut).
|
||
- [ ] A/B the two renderers with `capture_realism.gd` (same stages, two `--out` dirs) and record
|
||
the diff + judge scores in `docs/screens/realism/<date>-forward-plus/`.
|
||
- [ ] Add the preset to `tools/build_releases.sh` and `docs/RELEASING.md` as an optional
|
||
"desktop HQ" artifact, and note the runtime requirement (Vulkan driver) in `README.md`.
|
||
- [ ] Test: a headless run must still boot when Forward+ is unavailable (the preset must degrade
|
||
to Compatibility instead of failing to start).
|
||
|
||
## Realism follow-ups (deferred)
|
||
|
||
- [ ] Human-authored tree/hedge silhouettes: the whole scene now reads well except the foliage,
|
||
which is still flat-shaded clumps (`_shrub()`/`_tree()` in `tools/blender_assets.py`).
|
||
Only worth doing if a higher-poly organic builder is added to the library.
|
||
- [ ] Camera height: the concept frames are shot at ~1.55 m with a slightly wider lens; the game
|
||
camera sits at 1.7 m. Decide whether the first-person height should match the art direction
|
||
or stay at the current gameplay value.
|
||
|
||
## Future ideas (optional, not scheduled)
|
||
|
||
- [ ] Live 3D body-camera replay (the timeline is text-only today).
|
||
- [ ] Additional venues or seasonal events authored from the new `.tres` files.
|
||
- [ ] Real voice/dialogue audio (the crowd bed and radio crackle are procedural).
|
||
- [ ] Swap the primitive prop builder for an image-to-mesh model API behind the same
|
||
`assets/models/generated/<prop>.glb` contract.
