+independently, including occlusion between its distinct primitives. Footprint meshes do not

+The near and mid levels carry visibility in an occlusion texture. Preparation lays the level's
+triangles flat in one atlas: connected triangles facing within 20 degrees of each other share a
+chart, curved strips are cut where they would waste their rectangle, and charts under two texels
+share a palette of uniform grey texels. Shade detail grows with the square root of the level's
+surface: about 89·A^0.54 texels of visible shade for A square metres, so a large building takes
+coarser shade per metre than a small one. The near level's atlas budget allows for packing and
+has two floors: 65,536 texels, so small detailed buildings keep their mouldings distinct, and
+1.3 texels a metre, so towers keep each storey's mullions and slabs apart. It takes at most
+524,288 texels; the mid level takes a quarter of it. The density is the highest at which
+the atlas fits its budget. Each texel averages four points inside it, 12 rays each with turned
+patterns; points hidden just behind other surfaces are skipped. The atlas is a greyscale JPEG of
+quality 35, about a tenth of a byte a texel, on the second UV set, and becomes
+every material's occlusion texture. Vertices are split where charts meet; triangles keep their
+order.
+
+Contact shade therefore follows the surface instead of spreading between distant vertices. A
+level whose materials already use an occlusion texture or the second UV set, or whose charts
