# Generated prairie material

Created 27 September 2026 UTC with the built-in ImageGen tool. This is an AI-generated generic material, not a photograph of Wanuskewin, a vegetation survey, an archaeological reconstruction, or a measured surface-height map.

Project asset: `prairie-albedo-generated.png`. The original generated output is retained at `/Users/wolfwhale/.codex/generated_images/01a0e0f2-5dc6-7e32-9b32-ac4c96390a19/exec-b93982a8-39bd-4a66-b28a-f494a96d1f40.png` on the development machine. It was copied without raster editing. The viewer repeats it with filtering as illustrative material detail. Any bump shading is visual material treatment, not a change to the lidar geometry or numeric measurements.

Eyes review found natural muted colours and no geographic objects or text. It flagged visible-repeat/seam risk; the renderer uses mirrored repeat and limits material contrast. The material is distinct from the real SGIC aerial image mode.

## Exact generation prompt

Use case: photorealistic-natural. Asset type: seamless square ground albedo texture for a real-time 3D educational landscape. Create a highly realistic, perfectly top-down orthographic material sample of mixed northern Great Plains prairie ground in late summer: fine dry straw grasses, short muted sage-green grass blades, occasional bare silty earth, subtle tiny leaf litter. The photographed area should feel roughly 6 metres by 6 metres. This is a GENERIC material, not an aerial photograph or reconstruction of Wanuskewin. Uniform scale throughout, flat diffuse overcast illumination with no directional shadows, no perspective, no horizon, no vignette, no dramatic central subject. Edges must tile seamlessly in both directions. Natural subdued olive, beige and earthy brown; avoid saturated emerald green or orange. Crisp fine organic microtexture, photorealistic PBR base-colour appearance. No paths, buildings, water, rocks larger than tiny pebbles, trees, bison, people, archaeological objects, text, logos, border or labels. Square composition, fill the entire image.
