Irregular native lake wind-patch study
The two original native lake sources are preserved byte-for-byte. Their repeated diagonal groups remain a visible pattern concern despite source approval labels and exact GPU allocation parity. This study changes artwork deliberately to a finite asymmetric arrangement,with a few wind-ruffled patches and differing quiet intervals.
The first edit retained too much banding. The second improved the arrangement but darkened the RGB mean to about14,64,52from47,91,78. A targeted colour correction produces the selected native1536x1024opaque PNG with RGB mean about52,101,87. The remaining brightness difference is explicit and must be checked in actual lake/shore contexts. Fine painted strokes are retained;the large-scale arrangement is preferred as a study,not approved for live use.
Selected asset WOG-A-009279is copied exactly into tile-library/atlas-v2/terrain/lake/lake-windpatch-irregular-native-v1.png. No resampling,lossy recompression or original-file overwrite is used. The original and reference approvals stay unchanged. The new study has no renderer source contract,normal-world frames or live appearance. Palette/grain,perceptual recurrence,water contact/state,lifecycle and performance gates remain open. Generated intermediate inputs are recorded by exact hashes for retention cleanup after selected-output preservation.
