        // Check energy conservation
        if (material.color.r * material.metalness > 1.0) {
            warnings.push({
                type: 'energy_conservation',
                message: 'Base color too bright for metallic material',
                severity: 'warning'
            });
        }

        // Check IOR range
        if (material.ior < 1.0 || material.ior > 3.0) {
            warnings.push({
                type: 'ior_range',
                message: `IOR ${material.ior} outside typical range [1.0-3.0]`,
                severity: 'warning'
            });
        }

        // Check texture dimensions
        ['map', 'normalMap', 'roughnessMap', 'metalnessMap'].forEach(texName => {
            if (material[texName]) {
                const tex = material[texName];
                if (!isPowerOfTwo(tex.image.width) || !isPowerOfTwo(tex.image.height)) {
                    warnings.push({
                        type: 'texture_size',
                        message: `${texName} not power-of-2: ${tex.image.width}×${tex.image.height}`,
                        severity: 'info'
                    });
                }
            }
        });

        // Check colorspace encoding
        if (material.map && material.map.encoding !== THREE.sRGBEncoding) {
            errors.push({
                type: 'colorspace',
                message: 'Base color map should use sRGB encoding',
                severity: 'error'
            });
        }

        if (material.normalMap && material.normalMap.encoding === THREE.sRGBEncoding) {
            errors.push({
                type: 'colorspace',
                message: 'Normal map incorrectly using sRGB encoding',
                severity: 'error'

            ['r', 'g', 'b', 'a'].forEach((ch, idx) => {
                const val = data[i + idx];
                stats[ch].min = Math.min(stats[ch].min, val);
                stats[ch].max = Math.max(stats[ch].max, val);
                stats[ch].sum += val;
                stats[ch].histogram[val]++;
            });
        }

        // Calculate averages
        const pixelCount = data.length / 4;
        stats.r.avg = stats.r.sum / pixelCount;
        stats.g.avg = stats.g.sum / pixelCount;
        stats.b.avg = stats.b.sum / pixelCount;
        stats.a.avg = stats.a.sum / pixelCount;

        // Detect issues
        const issues = [];
        if (stats.r.max === 0 && stats.g.max === 0 && stats.b.max === 0) {
            issues.push('All zeros - texture may not be loaded');
        }
        if (stats.r.min === stats.r.max) {
            issues.push('R channel is constant');
        }
        // ... more checks

        return { stats, issues };
    }

    renderHistogram(canvas, histogram) {
        const ctx = canvas.getContext('2d');
        const width = canvas.width;
        const height = canvas.height;

        const maxCount = Math.max(...histogram);
        const barWidth = width / 256;

        ctx.clearRect(0, 0, width, height);
        ctx.fillStyle = '#4CAF50';

        for (let i = 0; i < 256; i++) {

  - Force roughness value
  - Force metalness value
  - Force base color
  - Disable normal maps
  - Disable all textures

**Implementation Plan**:
```javascript
// File: web/js/material-override.js
const originalMaterialProps = new Map();

function applyMaterialOverrides(overrides) {
    scene.traverse(obj => {
        if (obj.isMesh && obj.material) {
            // Store original if not already stored
            if (!originalMaterialProps.has(obj.uuid)) {
                originalMaterialProps.set(obj.uuid, {
                    roughness: obj.material.roughness,
                    metalness: obj.material.metalness,
                    color: obj.material.color.clone(),

                    normalMap: obj.material.normalMap,
                    roughnessMap: obj.material.roughnessMap,
                    metalnessMap: obj.material.metalnessMap
                });
            }

            // Apply overrides
            if (overrides.roughness !== null) {
                obj.material.roughness = overrides.roughness;
            }
            if (overrides.metalness !== null) {
                obj.material.metalness = overrides.metalness;
            }
            if (overrides.baseColor !== null) {
                obj.material.color.copy(overrides.baseColor);
            }
            if (overrides.disableNormalMaps) {
                obj.material.normalMap = null;
            }
            if (overrides.disableAllTextures) {
                obj.material.map = null;
                obj.material.normalMap = null;
                obj.material.roughnessMap = null;

    });
}

function resetMaterialOverrides() {
    scene.traverse(obj => {
        if (obj.isMesh && originalMaterialProps.has(obj.uuid)) {
            const orig = originalMaterialProps.get(obj.uuid);
            obj.material.roughness = orig.roughness;
            obj.material.metalness = orig.metalness;
            obj.material.color.copy(orig.color);
            obj.material.map = orig.map;

**Priority**: High | **Effort**: Medium-High
**Status**: ✅ **COMPLETED** (Commit: 40e9cccf + UI: 5d9b10d9)

**Implementation Summary**:
- Split-screen rendering with draggable divider
- Three split modes:
  - **Horizontal** (top/bottom)
  - **Vertical** (left/right)
  - **Diagonal** (top-left/bottom-right)
- Load two different:

    constructor(renderer, scene1, scene2, camera) {
        this.renderer = renderer;
        this.scene1 = scene1;
        this.scene2 = scene2;
        this.camera = camera;
        this.splitMode = 'vertical'; // 'vertical', 'horizontal', 'diagonal'
        this.splitPosition = 0.5; // 0.0-1.0
    }

    render() {
        const width = this.renderer.domElement.width;
        const height = this.renderer.domElement.height;

        if (this.splitMode === 'vertical') {
            // Left side: scene1
            this.renderer.setViewport(0, 0, width * this.splitPosition, height);
            this.renderer.setScissor(0, 0, width * this.splitPosition, height);
            this.renderer.setScissorTest(true);
            this.renderer.render(this.scene1, this.camera);

            // Right side: scene2
            this.renderer.setViewport(width * this.splitPosition, 0, width * (1 - this.splitPosition), height);
            this.renderer.setScissor(width * this.splitPosition, 0, width * (1 - this.splitPosition), height);
            this.renderer.render(this.scene2, this.camera);

        } else if (this.splitMode === 'horizontal') {
            // Top: scene1
            this.renderer.setViewport(0, height * (1 - this.splitPosition), width, height * this.splitPosition);
            this.renderer.setScissor(0, height * (1 - this.splitPosition), width, height * this.splitPosition);
            this.renderer.setScissorTest(true);
            this.renderer.render(this.scene1, this.camera);

            // Bottom: scene2
            this.renderer.setViewport(0, 0, width, height * (1 - this.splitPosition));
            this.renderer.setScissor(0, 0, width, height * (1 - this.splitPosition));
            this.renderer.render(this.scene2, this.camera);

        } else if (this.splitMode === 'diagonal') {
            // Use stencil buffer for diagonal split
            // ... more complex implementation
        }

        this.renderer.setScissorTest(false);
    }

    setSplitPosition(position) {
        this.splitPosition = Math.max(0, Math.min(1, position));
    }

    setSplitMode(mode) {
        this.splitMode = mode; // 'vertical', 'horizontal', 'diagonal'
    }
}
```

**UI**:
- Toggle button to enable split view

#### Texture Tiling Detector

1. Open "Texture Tiling Detector" folder in GUI
2. Load a scene with textures
3. Click "Analyze Scene Textures"
4. Check console for detailed results

**Analysis Features**:
- Edge seam detection (left/right, top/bottom comparison)
- Repetition pattern detection (horizontal, vertical, diagonal)
- Grid pattern detection (regular line spacing)
- Low resolution warnings (< 512×512)
- Multi-texture analysis (base color, normal, roughness, metalness)

**Scoring System**:
- **Tiling Score**: 0.0-1.0 (>0.3 = tiling detected, >0.6 = strong repetition)
- **Edge Seam Score**: 0.0-1.0 (>0.1 = seams visible, >0.3 = high severity)

**Issues Reported**:
- 🔴 High severity: Strong tiling (>0.6) or visible seams (>0.3)
- 🟡 Medium severity: Moderate tiling/seams, grid patterns
- ℹ️ Info: Low resolution warnings

#### Material Gradient/Ramp Editor

1. Open "Gradient/Ramp Editor" folder in GUI
2. Check "Enable Editor"
3. Select gradient from dropdown (10 presets available)

**Available Gradients**:
- **Color Ramps**: Heatmap, Rainbow, Turbo, Sunset, Ocean, Forest, Metal
- **Value Ramps**: Grayscale, Smooth to Rough, Inverted

**Usage**:
1. Select object with material
2. Choose gradient preset
3. Choose target property (baseColor, emissive, roughness, metalness)
4. Select texture width (64, 128, 256, 512, 1024)
5. Click "Apply to Selected Object"

**Features**:
- **Preview Gradient**: Opens popup with 256×32 visual preview
- **Generate Texture**: Creates Three.js texture without applying
- **Export as JSON**: Save gradient definition for reuse
- **Log All Gradients**: Show library in console

**Use Cases**:
- Procedural material creation without texture files
- Gradient-based roughness/metalness maps (smooth to rough transitions)
- Custom color ramps for artistic effects
- Value mapping for data visualization

#### Light Probe Visualizer

1. Open "Light Probe Visualizer" folder in GUI
2. Ensure scene has environment map loaded
3. Select visualization mode (sphere, skybox, or split)
4. Check "Enable Visualizer"

**Visualization Modes**:
- **Sphere**: Chrome ball preview at custom position (shows reflections)
- **Skybox**: Full 360° environment render
- **Split**: Both sphere and skybox simultaneously

**Controls**:
- **Sphere Position**: X, Y, Z sliders (-5 to +5 units)
- **Sphere Size**: 0.1 to 2.0 units
- **Show Mip Levels**: Toggle to visualize specific mip level
- **Mip Level**: Select level 0-10 (0=highest detail)

**Analysis**:
- Click "Analyze Environment Map" for console report
- Reports: type (cubemap/equirectangular), resolution, format, encoding
- Detects HDR vs LDR, validates settings
- Export markdown report with recommendations

**Recommendations Engine**:
- ⚠️ LDR environment map → suggests HDR for better lighting
- ⚠️ Missing mipmaps when using mipmap filters
- ℹ️ sRGB encoding → should be Linear for IBL

#### BRDF Visualizer

1. Open "BRDF Visualizer" folder in GUI
2. Select object with material
3. Check "Enable Visualizer"
4. Overlay appears in top-right corner (320×256px)

**Interactive 3D Visualization**:
- **3D Lobe Shape**: Shows how light reflects off surface
- **Height/Radius**: Reflection intensity in each direction
- **Width**: Spread of reflections (controlled by roughness)
- **Color**: Heatmap (blue=low, cyan=medium, yellow=high, red=very high)

**Controls**:
- **View Angle**: 0-90° (camera position relative to surface normal)
- **Light Angle**: 0-90° (light source position)
- **Resolution**: 32, 64, or 128 (quality vs performance)
- **Update from Selected Object**: Refresh visualization

**Analysis Features**:
- Material type classification (metal vs dielectric vs mixed)
- Roughness interpretation (glossy, medium, rough, matte)
- BRDF characteristics description
- Physical correctness warnings (e.g., metalness should be binary)

**Interpretation Guide**:
- **Narrow tall lobe**: Smooth/glossy surface (low roughness)
- **Wide short lobe**: Rough/matte surface (high roughness)
- **Metallic**: No diffuse, colored reflections
- **Dielectric**: Both diffuse and specular, white reflections

**Export**: Click "Export Report" for complete BRDF analysis markdown

## 📝 Notes for Developers

### Adding New AOV Modes

1. Add enum to `AOV_MODES` object
2. Add case to `createAOVMaterial()` switch statement
3. Write custom shader (vertex + fragment)
4. Extract material properties from Three.js material
5. Test with various material types

### Performance Considerations

- AOV modes are applied to all meshes in scene
- Each mode creates new ShaderMaterial instances
- Original materials are stored in `aovOriginalMaterials` Map
- Restore originals when switching back to `NONE`

### Testing Checklist

For each new feature:
- [ ] Works with textured materials
- [ ] Works with constant-value materials
- [ ] Handles missing textures gracefully
- [ ] Proper colorspace handling
- [ ] No console errors
- [ ] Performance acceptable (<100ms switch time)
