+- [before overview](jajce_center_02_before.png)
+- [after overview](jajce_center_02_after.png)

+- `tools/capture_jajce_lookdev.gd`
+
+The two overview images use the same 1280×720 camera, fixed daylight value,
+warmup, and Metal renderer. The gameplay image is a separate readability check,
+not part of the matched comparison.
+
+## Reference reading
+
+The reduction uses Jajce's hierarchy rather than attempting a literal city
+reconstruction:
+
+- the [UNESCO tentative-list description](https://whc.unesco.org/en/tentativelists/2098/)
+  describes the citadel at the summit of a rocky pyramid, ramparts descending
+  its slopes, and residential roofs forming an amphitheater beneath it;
+- the [official Jajce fortress overview](https://www.agencija-jajce.ba/en/the-fortress/)
+  supports treating the fortress as the primary long-distance landmark;
+- official Studio Ghibli still collections for
+  [My Neighbor Totoro](https://www.ghibli.jp/works/totoro/) and
+  [Princess Mononoke](https://www.ghibli.jp/works/mononoke/) were used only as
+  broad references for layered green masses, clear silhouettes, restrained
+  natural motion, and small warm human details inside large landscapes;
+- [Tiny Glade](https://store.steampowered.com/app/2198150/Tiny_Glade/) supports
+  the low-detail diorama reading of whimsical castles, cottages, ruins, and
+  incidental life;
+- the [Terrain3D instancer guidance](https://terrain3d.readthedocs.io/en/latest/docs/instancer.html)
+  informed the split between camera-local particle grass and intentional tree
+  placement.
+
+No building, frame, or asset is copied from those references. The project keeps
+its own compact low-poly language and real simulation constraints.
+
+## Implemented reduction
+
+- The ridge block becomes a larger warm-stone citadel with a rocky plinth,
+  ramparts, descending walls, towers, gate, crenellations, banner, and narrow
+  window slits.
+- Eight timber-accented plaster houses now cascade below the citadel instead of
+  leaving three isolated boxes in an empty field.
+- The waterfall is wider, softly animated, misted, and framed by irregular
+  mossy rock columns. Its plunge pool feeds a turquoise ribbon that samples the
+  live Terrain3D height field instead of disappearing beneath it.
+- The bridge gains a full river span, stone abutments, center pier, rails, and
+  posts. House windows and chimney smoke add small warm points.
+- Existing rounded deciduous trees are richer and wind-reactive; authored
+  conifer clusters strengthen the citadel, falls, and valley edges.
+- Three intentionally oversized butterflies add quiet ambient life.
+- A bounded camera-local Terrain3D grass field uses roughly 10,400 particles.
+  Its project-owned process material keeps blades short and patchy, while a
+  shader receives at most eight real player/NPC transforms and bends grass
+  away from their feet.
+- Haze and saturation are reduced so green terrain, warm roofs, stone, and
+  turquoise water separate more clearly.
+
+## Authority boundary
+
+Grass, butterflies, smoke, water motion, and foliage sway are transient
+presentation. They do not enter saves or checksums. Player and `NpcVisual`
+nodes merely expose real transforms to the grass shader.
+
+Finite food and wood still come only from stable-ID `ResourceNode` anchors
+bound to simulation-owned records. The conifers and grass are decorative; the
+next resource-discovery phase can pair selected Terrain3D-authored visuals with
+intentional resource anchors without turning every blade or background tree
+into authoritative state. Livestock is deliberately deferred until one animal
+has a real identity/state/interaction contract; ambient butterflies do not
+pretend to be simulated food or work.
+
+## Remaining visual work
+
+This is a stronger prototype composition, not final environment art. The next
+art pass should sculpt a true river channel and waterfall shelf into Terrain3D,
+replace procedural fortress/house geometry gradually, add bank stones and
+flower/fern clusters through bounded instancing, and validate a representative
+frame-time budget. The matched comparison should remain the checkpoint before
+those asset-heavy changes.
