ACTUAL UNITY CAPTURES / UNFINISHED EXPERIMENTS

Gentle Sun Warmth — Progress

Saved baseline, L01 lighting-only, M02 shader and M03 reflection experiments against approved AI appearance targets. These experiments are unfinished, not approved improvements, and do not establish a full visual match.

Unfinished shader experiment—pond still flat blue, grass blurry/repetitive, sky mismatch; not approved improvement.
L01 changes lighting, ambient, fog and post-processing only. M01 corrects normal decoding; M02 adds pond-mask smoothness 0.9 and metallic 0. M03 adds a sky-only reflection experiment—not shoreline/tree reflections or refraction.

Actual engine frames use approximate landmark reconstructions, not the original supplied camera transforms. Baseline is an earlier improved test scene, not Brandon’s original screenshot state. All frames are uncropped and unfiltered. Click an image for its original PNG.

Verification Scope & Limits

These captures come from actual local Unity scene edits and launches; this gallery presents their recorded evidence. Standalone macOS build failed: unsupported target. No production FPS, target-device readiness or gameplay acceptance is claimed.

M02 Editor Play Mode report: NOT a clean pass. Apple M4, 1468 × 880 offscreen scene smoke test. Reported error count: 1. UnityEditor.Search.SearchDatabase startup ArgumentOutOfRangeException. Timings measure synchronous Camera.Render + GPU readback only—not production frame rate.

Approved AI targets express appearance only; implemented geometry remains authoritative. M03 still has a flat-looking pond and is not endorsed as an improvement. M01 records remain in the capture manifest, with identical M02 frames reusing the M01 media record.
