The OSM pipeline pointed at actual mountains. Both levels ride the real terrarium DEM (Coot-tha's range tops at 287 m, Gravatt's at 196 -- matching the survey numbers) with the real roads draped and carved over it: Sir Samuel Griffith Drive winding up one side of town, Mount Gravatt Outlook Drive zigzagging up the other. Race mode is 3 laps of the mountain; the drag finder even discovered a 1080 m strip through Mount Gravatt's suburbs (Logan Road, of course it is). Pipeline upgrades earned along the way, all reusable: - trace: RacePath mode now STITCHES every OSM way sharing the name into one chain by shared endpoints (SSG Drive is 19 segments; tracing only the longest produced a fraction of the route) and samples densely -- 16 points cut hairpins cross-country and gridded race starts in a paddock. - 9th builder arg selects the raw-terrain texture. Bushland levels pass "grass" (tiled at 3 m -- 18 m tiling reads as macro-photography lawn blades under the car) which also enables forest fill: ~2600 extra gums, 65% biased to within ~150 m of roads, where the driver's eyes actually are. - amenity=parking polygons are now PAVED (draped asphalt) as well as stocked with parked shitboxes -- a summit lookout carpark is a burnout pad, not a dirt patch. Both summits come ready. - man_made mast/tower ways become tapered lattice towers with a cage and whip antenna, built from beams into the steel bucket. Mount Gravatt's telecom tower stands over its carpark. - Levels can carry their own sky: levels/<id>/sky_<time>.jpg overrides the global panorama for any time of day, including day (previously always procedural). Both mountains ship FLUX skies with the Brisbane skyline on the horizon; Gravatt also has a sunset one, because John's reference photo demanded it. Suite green at 11 levels. Next burnout spot: the Gateway Bridge, when the details arrive. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
