{"params":{"colorway":{"type":"choice","default":"commons","label":"Colorway","describe":"curated kit-coherent scheme; sets all sixteen zones at once and keeps the timber frame, the board field, the paint notes, the dark iron and the near-black panes apart in VALUE so the gate never collapses into one brown slab. The three names match salvage-fence-run so a gate and its runs dress together. commons is the reference off the refs: warm timber frame, raw and bleached boards, barn-red / mint paint, galvanised sheet with orange bloom, brass latch. orchard is an older gate gone dark and warm \u2014 near-black timber and iron, deep red paint, brighter oxide, deep-blue glass, deep leaf greens. seafoam is a driftwood-pale gate painted in sea colours, cream and pale mint over bleached boards, ironwork left honest brown.","options":["commons","orchard","seafoam"]},"timber":{"type":"color","default":"#8a6236","label":"Frame timber","describe":"albedo of both posts, all three leaf rails and both stiles \u2014 the structural timber and the largest zone on the part. The frame is the only straight datum in the elevation, so this wants to stay a clear value step DARKER than the boards it surrounds, or the rails vanish into the infill and the leaf reads as a plain slab."},"boards":{"type":"color","default":"#b08a55","label":"Raw board","describe":"albedo of the raw reclaimed boards, the commonest infill tone and the material the gate is actually made of. Sits one rung LIGHTER than the frame timber and one rung darker than the bleached boards; that ladder is what makes the infill read as mismatched salvage rather than as one flat panel."},"bleached":{"type":"color","default":"#d9c9a3","label":"Bleached board","describe":"albedo of the sun-bleached boards \u2014 the pale rung of the timber ladder, the stock that faced the weather longest. Taking it near the raw board deletes the mismatch; taking it near the cream paint makes bare wood read as painted."},"paintRed":{"type":"color","default":"#a8412f","label":"Barn red paint","describe":"albedo of the faded barn-red paint on two lower boards. A saturated warm note that has to sing against the vine green; a small zone by area, so it wants committed colour rather than a muted brown."},"paintMint":{"type":"color","default":"#8fd3b6","label":"Mint paint","describe":"albedo of the mint paint on three lower boards \u2014 the cool note in a warm part, and the colour that most identifies this as the Sky Town kit rather than a generic farm gate. Keep it clearly greener and lighter than the vine, or the painted boards stop reading as paint and start reading as more foliage."},"paintCream":{"type":"color","default":"#f2e6c8","label":"Cream paint","describe":"albedo of the cream paint on one lower board and, where the glazing is boarded over, on the board across the centre opening. The lightest colour on the part, so it punches a small bright hole in the field and carries more of the read at the strategy camera than its area suggests."},"sheet":{"type":"color","default":"#b6bfc2","label":"Galvanised sheet","describe":"albedo of the riveted sheet-metal panel laid across the lower boards, and of the small patch plate. Galvanised grey is a SUPPORTING tone in this kit and is deliberately confined to these two plates; taking it dark turns the middle of the leaf into a hole, taking it warm loses the salvaged-plate-among-timber contrast."},"iron":{"type":"color","default":"#5a6468","label":"Dark iron","describe":"albedo of every piece of hardware: both post caps and shoes, the two strap hinges and their post plates, the diagonal brace, the ledger strap across the leaf back, and every rivet dome. The darkest structural zone, which is what lets the diagonal cut across the pale boards and the hinges read as bars at distance. Wants to stay well below every timber tone in value."},"ironwork":{"type":"color","default":"#b4652e","label":"Forged ironwork","describe":"albedo of the filigree curl over the head. Deliberately WARM forged brown-orange rather than the dark grey of the caps it springs from, because a scroll painted the hardware colour disappears against it and the curl is the most characterful thing in the silhouette. Keep it a clear step lighter than the iron."},"brass":{"type":"color","default":"#e3b34a","label":"Brass latch","describe":"albedo of the latch boss on the shutting post, its centre stud, the ring on the leaf and the hanging chain. The one warm metal on the part and a tiny zone, so it needs to stay bright and saturated to register at all; taking it toward brown loses the latch entirely against the post behind it."},"glass":{"type":"color","default":"#3a2c21","label":"Salvaged glass","describe":"albedo of the three recessed panes by DAY \u2014 dark, dusty rescued glass, the near-black end of the ladder, which is what makes them read as holes punched in a warm timber field rather than as painted patches. They are set 45 mm back so the reveal shades itself; a gate leaks no light after dark, so nothing here glows."},"rust":{"type":"color","default":"#d2703a","label":"Rust bloom","describe":"albedo of the bright oxide bloom on the sheet panel, placed at the seams and around the fixings where rust really starts. Warm orange oxide \u2014 the colour that sings against the vine \u2014 never a brown-grey sludge and never a dark blood red."},"rustDeep":{"type":"color","default":"#c2531f","label":"Deep rust","describe":"albedo of the deeper oxide along the bottom edge of the sheet panel where water stands. Paired with the bright bloom so the weathering is two tones in ragged patches of different sizes rather than one even wash; keep the two clearly apart in value or the panel reads as evenly dirty instead of rusting."},"moss":{"type":"color","default":"#3b7a2e","label":"Moss","describe":"albedo of the moss clumps in the damp seam at the foot of each post, and of the sapling stem at derelict. The deepest green on the part, a rung below the vine so the growth reads as three distinct greens rather than one."},"vine":{"type":"color","default":"#5ea83a","label":"Vine stem","describe":"albedo of the vine stem running along the leaf's top rail, under the filigree arch. A mid green: it crosses the pale timber rail, the sky in the gaps and the warm rod behind it, so it has to hold against all three. Taking it as dark as the moss loses the stem against the shaded side."},"leaf":{"type":"color","default":"#8fcb4a","label":"Vine leaf","describe":"albedo of the vine leaves \u2014 the freshest, lightest green on the part and the thing that makes the growth read as alive rather than as a green pipe. Wants to stay clearly lighter than the stem it grows from."},"wear":{"type":"choice","default":"weathered","label":"Wear","describe":"how looked-after this gate is, and it is GEOMETRY, not a repaint \u2014 the triangle count moves across the three and the 4.00 m FOOTPRINT does not. kept: every board in place, all three panes whole, the sheet panel sound with only a trace of bloom at the fixings, no moss and no bolted patch. weathered (the shipped default): one lower board gone, oxide in patches over the sheet, a small plate bolted over a hole in it, and moss in the seam at both post feet. derelict: three lower boards gone and one snapped off low so you see straight through the leaf, both wide panes broken out to real openings, the sheet panel gone, more moss and a sapling coming up under the hinge post. Still sunlit and being reclaimed by green, never grim.","affects":"geometry","options":["kept","weathered","derelict"]},"swing":{"type":"choice","default":"shut","label":"Swing","describe":"where the leaf is built standing. shut is the reference: the leaf fills the clear span, the fence line runs unbroken and the latch chain hangs beside its boss. ajar swings it 30 degrees toward the front so a real wedge of daylight opens between the leaf and the shutting post. open swings it 88 degrees, the leaf standing almost square to the run with the whole opening clear to walk through. The same leaf is also the animatable group `gate-leaf`, so a consumer can drive it continuously between these; this knob is for scenes that want it posed without any code.","affects":"geometry","options":["shut","ajar","open"]},"glazing":{"type":"choice","default":"panes","label":"Upper openings","describe":"what fills the three openings across the upper half of the leaf, which is the thing the eye lands on. panes is the reference: rescued dark glass set 45 mm back so each opening reads as a shadowed hole in the timber. boarded fills them with reclaimed timber set into the rebate instead, the version somebody patched after the glass went. open leaves them as real openings straight through the leaf, so daylight and whatever is behind the gate show through \u2014 the airiest silhouette and the cheapest build.","affects":"geometry","options":["panes","boarded","open"]},"filigree":{"type":"toggle","default":true,"label":"Head ironwork","describe":"the whole head dressing, and all of it belongs to the LEAF: one fat forged rod socketed into the top of each stile, curling into a scroll and arcing across above the boards, PLUS the vine growing along the top rail underneath it. Both swing with the door \u2014 pose the gate open and the head goes with it rather than hanging across the gap. ON (the default) is the reference and is most of what makes this read as a village gate rather than a hole in a fence. OFF leaves the two capped posts bare and the leaf plain to its top rail, which is the version that sits under a low eave or beside a taller part without fighting it.","affects":"geometry"},"tallness":{"type":"range","default":1.45,"label":"Fence line","describe":"height in meters of the leaf top \u2014 the fence line, and the defining dimension. Set it to the height of the run you are chaining into (the run ships at 1.45, the same default) and the boundary reads unbroken. It REBUILDS rather than scaling: the post section, the caps, the shoes, the rail and stile sections, the board widths, the hinges and every rivet stay exactly the same size, only lengths change. Below 1.30 m the upper zone is too shallow for three openings and the small centre pane is not built; above 1.60 m the leaf gains a FOURTH rail low down \u2014 a timber ledger laid ACROSS the boards and standing proud of them, the way a real ledged-and-braced gate holds a taller board run, so the boards themselves stay unbroken. So the triangle count moves at BOTH ends of the range, which is the test that this rebuilds rather than scales. The posts and the filigree ride 0.36 m above the line at every value. 1.15 m is a low garden gate you step over, 1.45 m is the reference, 1.85 m is a tall stockyard gate you do not see over.","affects":"geometry","min":1.15,"max":1.85},"boardCount":{"type":"range","default":10,"label":"Lower boards","describe":"how many reclaimed boards fill the lower half of the leaf across its fixed 2.785 m clear width \u2014 the leaf never changes size, so this is DENSITY. Each step adds one board of the same real width (0.215-0.27 m, unchanged at every value) and narrows the gaps between them: 8 is an airy paddock gate you see the field through, 10 is the reference, 12 is nearly close-boarded. At 12 the boards are trimmed a little narrower so they still cannot touch. The wear knob then removes one board at weathered and three at derelict.","affects":"geometry","min":8,"max":12,"step":1},"tone":{"type":"range","default":0.35,"label":"Tone variation","describe":"how far each reclaimed BOARD drifts in lightness from the base timber, as separately sawn stock off different piles genuinely does. It touches the raw and bleached board field ONLY: the frame, the two posts, the paint patches, the iron, the brass, the glass, the rust, the moss and the vine keep exactly what they were painted. 0 is milled-to-match new timber and reads as a factory gate, 0.35 is the reference salvage mix, 1 is a deliberately motley one built from whatever was in the yard. Changes no geometry at any value \u2014 triangles, meshes and materials are identical from end to end.","min":0,"max":1,"step":0.05},"scale":{"type":"range","default":1,"label":"Scale","describe":"Scales the whole model; 1 is as built.
