# BUILD SPEC — omegaClass (v6: the Zoned Asado + Smoke Station) Source of truth for the omegaClass 3D experiment. **This is the persona-validated redesign.** It keeps the reference-photo idea (a stainless outdoor-kitchen cabinet whose front lifts into a roof) but makes it a WIDER, ZONED unit so a master asador and a master pitmaster can both actually work on it — with real counter/landing space, a dedicated brasero, and a proper vertical smoker. Two+ builders work in parallel against this contract; do not diverge from names/API here. Product: **omegaClass** — working tagline *"One cabinet. Every fire."* (Ω motif.) > **NO PATENT / IP LANGUAGE ANYWHERE.** Frame novelty as design originality / engineering rigor, never legal. --- ## 0. Product thesis — validated against how the masters actually cook Closed, omegaClass is one sealed, weatherproof stainless cabinet. Open, it's a full **outdoor fire station** laid out left-to-right in three zones so two experts can work at once without fighting for space: - **The asador's zone** (open fire): a **dedicated brasero** (ember maker) beside a **wide crank-lift parrilla**. He burns wood down in the brasero and rakes glowing coals under the grate — the real Argentine method — riding the crank for heat, with **landing counter** right there to rest and plate. - **The pitmaster's zone** (smoke): a **vertical cabinet smoker** — an insulated chamber with **dual cabinet doors** and multiple **racks**, heated from a **firebox BELOW** (smoke rises up through the food), vented by a top flue. Load racks, seal the doors, tend the fire below, wrap on the counter. - **The shared prep zone**: a **sink + faucet + counter** for prep, plating, and wrapping. Overhead, **two independent lift-up roof lids** (the photo's move) shelter each half of the station — raise only the zone you're using. It rises straight up/forward into a high roof, never blocking the cook. Why this beats the old config: the previous unit stacked a grill and smoker vertically shoulder-to-shoulder with almost no counter — neither master could work. Going **wider and zoned** gives each their fire, their technique, and their landing space. --- ## 1. Physical envelope & why it's real (use these numbers) ### The cabinet (closed) - A wide stainless cabinet: **240 cm (W) × 68 cm (D) × 205 cm (H)**, marine/powder-coat stainless, on adjustable **leveling feet**. Closed = a sealed weatherproof monolith (two roof lids down, cookbox doors shut). - Counter working height ~**92 cm**. Left-to-right zones (origin-centered X; see §3): **prep+sink** (left), **parrilla+brasero** (center), **vertical smoker cookbox** (right). ### Zone A — prep + sink (LEFT, ~60 cm) - Stainless/butcher-block **counter**, a **sink** + gooseneck **faucet**, a cutting board, landing space, and **lower cabinets/drawers** below. This is the shared prep/plate/wrap surface. ### Zone B — parrilla + brasero (CENTER, ~90 cm) — the asador - A **dedicated brasero** (~35 cm, left of the grate): a firebox that burns wood/charcoal down to embers, with a slot/ledge to **rake coals under the grate**. - A **wide V-channel parrilla grate** (~55 cm) on a **crank lift** (~15 cm range) over an ember bed; fat drains to a channel → grease cup. **Landing counter** beside it (part of the prep zone / a ledge). ### Zone C — vertical smoker cookbox (RIGHT, ~90 cm) — the pitmaster - An **insulated double-wall chamber** with **dual front cabinet doors** (each ~44 cm, hinged at the outer edges, swing open to reveal the racks; glass window optional) and **3 stacked racks** inside. - Heated from a **firebox BELOW** the chamber (a fire/ember box at the base; smoke + heat rise up through the racks — a vertical/cabinet smoker), an intake damper low, and a **flue on top** (smoke out; smoke visible when the doors are closed + fire lit). A fire-access door on the below firebox. ### Overhead — two independent lift-up roof lids - **`lidL`** shelters the prep + parrilla half; **`lidR`** shelters the cookbox half. Each is a stainless panel (corrugated underside), **hinged at the top-back**, lifting **up and forward ~100°** on visible gas struts into a **high overhead roof** (front edge ~**230 cm**). Each carries an underside task light. Raise independently. Closed, they seal the top. ### Materials / feel Brushed + polished marine stainless, warm wood/butcher-block counter, matte-black firebox interiors, corrugated roof undersides, glass cookbox-door windows, glowing embers, curling smoke, visible gas struts, leveling feet. ### Footprint / weight Closed ~240×68×205 cm. Open: lids cantilever forward ~130 cm as roofs; full front access to all three zones. Weight target ~**300 kg** (a large all-stainless station). ### Why it's distinctive (design originality — NO patent language) One sealed stainless cabinet that opens into a complete asado + smoke station: a brasero-fed parrilla AND a vertical rack smoker AND real prep/sink/counter/storage, sheltered by lift-up roofs — genuinely usable by a master asador and a master pitmaster at once. Frame as design/engineering originality, never IP. --- ## 2. Control axes & named postures THREE independent normalized parameters (+ one minor): - **roof** `r ∈ [0,1]` — 0 both lids down (sealed) → 1 both lids raised into overhead roofs, task lights on, station revealed. (The two lids move together under this one control for the demo; independent raise is a real-product feature noted in copy.) - **doors** `d ∈ [0,1]` — 0 cookbox dual doors closed (sealed to smoke) → 1 doors swung open to the sides, racks revealed. - **fire** `f ∈ [0,1]` — 0 all cold → 1 everything lit: **brasero + parrilla embers glow, flames over the grate**, the **cookbox firebox-below glows**, and **smoke rises from the cookbox flue when its doors are closed** (`∝ f × (1 − d)`). - **grate** `g ∈ [0,1]` — parrilla grate height. Default 0.4. Per-part windows (smoothstep; CLAMP): lids lift `r∈[0,0.85]`, task lights `r∈[0.6,1]`; cookbox doors swing `d∈[0,0.9]`; brasero/parrilla/firebox glow `f∈[0.2,1]`, parrilla flames `∝ f`, cookbox smoke `∝ f×(1−d)`, intake damper `f∈[0.1,0.4]`; grate Y over `g∈[0,1]`. **Named postures** — USE THESE EXACT ids/labels/values: ``` POSTURES = [ { id: "closed", label: "Closed", roof: 0.0, doors: 0.0, fire: 0.0, caption: "One sealed stainless cabinet on leveling feet — weatherproof and locked. 240×68×205 cm." }, { id: "station", label: "Open Station", roof: 1.0, doors: 0.0, fire: 0.0, caption: "Both roofs up — brasero, wide parrilla, sink and counter, and the sealed smoker, all revealed and sheltered." }, { id: "asado", label: "Asado", roof: 1.0, doors: 0.0, fire: 1.0, caption: "Brasero lit, coals raked under the parrilla, flames up — and the smoker running sealed, smoke curling from its flue." }, { id: "smoker", label: "Load the Smoker",roof: 1.0, doors: 1.0, fire: 1.0, caption: "Cookbox doors open on three racks, firebox glowing below — a vertical smoker, smoke rising through the food." } ] ``` --- ## 3. 3D model — coordinate frame, part hierarchy, kinematics **Frame:** `+X` right, `+Y` up, `+Z` toward viewer (front). **1 unit = 1 cm.** Origin at cabinet footprint center; ground `y = 0`. Zone centers along X: **prep** ~x=−90, **parrilla+brasero** ~x=−15 (brasero ~x=−45, grate ~x=+5), **cookbox** ~x=+80. **Art direction (flawless bar):** marine stainless `MeshPhysicalMaterial` (metalness high, roughness ~0.25–0.4, **clearcoat**) + a **procedural equirectangular studio env map** (`DataTexture`, `EquirectangularReflectionMapping`) on ALL metals/glass. Warm **wood** counter; **corrugated** roof undersides. Rounded/beveled edges (`roundedBoxGeo`).

Setters clamped/idempotent. Sanity: (r0,d0,f0)=sealed wide cabinet ~240×205×68; (r1,·,·)=both lids up into HIGH overhead roofs (front edges ~230 cm, front clear), the three zones revealed; (·,d1,·)=cookbox doors swung to the sides, 3 racks visible; (·,·,f1)=brasero+parrilla flames + cookbox firebox-below glowing + smoke from the cookbox flue when doors closed. Cookbox doors hinge at OUTER edges (open to the sides); roof lids hinge at TOP-BACK and lift UP/forward (never low forward gates); the smoker firebox is BELOW the rack chamber (vertical smoker). --- ## 4.

Landing page — art direction (molten-steel cinematic + stainless/wood; NO patent) Keep the look. Rewrite copy for the WIDER ZONED ASADO + SMOKE STATION (three zones: prep+sink / parrilla+brasero / vertical smoker; two lift-up roof lids). Lead with the persona truth: built so a master asador AND a master pitmaster can both work it. Sections: 1) Hero (wordmark + Ω + tagline "One cabinet. Every fire." + auto-rotating model, CTAs); 2) The three moves (**roofs lift** to shelter the station · the **smoker's doors open** on its racks · the **fires light** — brasero-fed parrilla + vertical smoker); 3) **Configurator** (three scrubbers "Open the roof" / "Open the smoker" / "Light the fires" + grate + the 4 postures); 4) Anatomy (real §1 numbers — the two lift-up roof lids + struts; the brasero + wide crank parrilla; the vertical smoker: dual doors + 3 racks + firebox below + flue; the prep/sink/counter/storage; materials); 5) Postures gallery; 6) "Why it's different" (a whole asado + smoke station in one sealed cabinet — validated for real cooks — design/engineering originality, NO patent); 7) Reserve ($12,500, spec → PLAN.md); 8) Footer (Ω, `../../index.html`).
