Larger buildings, one village

Tripo-generated homes, a grain store and glasshouses now share warm timber, cream walls and terracotta roofs.

Full entry & measurements

How can the larger buildings feel at home beside the small village cottages? The final pass replaces all remaining large catalog appearances: six Hearthstead houses, four Lakeside houses, one grain store and two glasshouses. The four small central cottages, generated barns, windmill and office retain their established designs. Roads, home approach anchors and conservative simulator navigation remain unchanged. Four original Tripo P1 text-to-model tasks produced the designs. The recorded prompts described the warm hut/cottage references; no reference image or private habitat data was uploaded. All subsequent finishing was local. Front and rear renders exposed open plaster strips, defective doors, missing glazing and torn roofs. Houses r1–r5 preserve the orientation attempt, real matrix correction, backing trials, rejected broad patches and overlapping gable, then the final inset repair and existing-door reface. Farm r1–r7 preserve the incomplete roof backing, rejected silo-wall face selection, roof-edge gap and final narrow verge fascia; glasshouse r4 is final. Front/back/close source reviews, exact web-model posters, intermediate Editor views and final native photographs remain individually dated in visual session tripo-estates-20261016. Failed studies have explicit historical labels. The process document and Asset Library retain original prompts, source identities and preparation recipes. Statistics measured on 16 October 2026 for this pass: 4 original generated designs, from the four completed task receipts; 13 replaced appearances, from the final Unity placement fixture; 41,706 triangles across the four unique prepared sources (13,105 + 12,100 + 8,176 + 8,325, not multiplied by placements), from the final source/FBX records; and 62/62 final Unity checks passed immediately before native build unity-source-be88542806af-20261016152534. Those comprise 19 village compatibility, 32 imported-house source and 11 remaining-building checks. A separate 41/41 read-only Blender/FBX check covers farm-source continuity, finite geometry, exact UV/texture preservation, dimensions and targeted repaired-surface rays. The earlier 51/51 house import result remains historical and included temporary farm sources. The native Mac player succeeded at 15:25 UTC with zero errors and one warning about an unconfigured RuntimePipelineConfig asset. Exact Unity source/assets/settings bytes were unchanged during its build, apart from the intentional build stamp. The five new 1920×1080 native frames were inspected with the saved habitat paused; only the camera changed. These show appearance, grounding, roof silhouettes and road clearance. They do not establish new resident behavior, universal mesh watertightness or sustained performance. The grain store's lower silhouette follows the old footprint constraint. Frosted glazing is opaque stylization; the models are static exteriors without new interiors or farm mechanics. The website now includes all four exact rotatable GLBs, their reimported posters, original prompts and limitations. Current village, lake, orchard and fire-circle imagery comes from the delivered native build; older images retain their original identities and dates. Each source image, model and public derivative receives separate internet review. All active project contributors received the documentation standard and agreed file ownership through the authorized coordination channels. Final website checks, Git delivery and live HTTPS verification are recorded separately. Next is to assess the exteriors across existing light moods and ordinary resident journeys. Website verification on 16 October 2026: the publication/evidence Python suite passed 156 tests in 31.03 seconds; the later inventory/localization/evidence subset passed 73 in 27.40 seconds; the actual journal renderer passed 28 isolated Node checks. Chromium 151 passed 66/66 checks on frozen public source tripo-estates-public-8d4af2b8bb4519cd: fourteen decoded posters, all four new paused GLBs rotating on request, no initial model downloads, current homepage/journal/portraits, 24 route/language/width layouts and static fallbacks. The later statistics snapshot passed 22/22 checks and the final copy snapshot 26/26; phone results use viewport emulation. Website-only captures in session tripo-estates-web-20261016 preserve the model, journal, German phone, inventory and corrected FAQ iterations with their exact source fingerprints. A stale legacy model counter was corrected to 41 imported project FBX/GLB files, including fallback and LOD files rather than unique designs; the independently recorded inventory excludes the licensed catalog and scene instances. The photograph FAQ now distinguishes paused views from earlier observed gameplay. The journal's leading picture is curated to show the new houses and glasshouse beside the orchard. These website checks do not replace the separate native/source acceptance above. The corrected leading orchard photograph was then verified in 7/7 focused browser checks on frozen source tripo-estates-journal-r2-1b4a395547de24aa. Final website capture 20261016T154935007000-c2fc921dfe16 establishes that reading; it is a website screenshot with the embedded native frame retaining its original provenance. All six completed website-session captures received individual local approval and separate internet review. Native Unity source, assets and settings were checked again at handoff: no changes since the delivered build.
