# Scene concepts: the realistic target look
|
|
|
|
These are AI-generated example frames for the realism pass. They are art direction, not assets.
|
|
`tools/scene_concepts.py realism` pairs them with the in-game shots from `src/test/capture_realism.gd`
|
|
(see `SHOTS` in the tool). New generations never overwrite a file here; they are saved as
|
|
`<name>-vN.png`.
|
|
|
|
Concepts are organised per venue in the two subfolders below. The older top-level single-frame
|
|
concepts were removed on 2026-11-03 in favour of the per-venue boards, which carry photo-anchored
|
|
generations with a `.refgen.json` provenance sidecar each (source photo, licence, model).

## Real-world Hollywood block
|
|
|
|
The map-optimization references for the El Capitan Entertainment Centre block
|
|
(6840 Hollywood Blvd) are in
|
|
[`hollywood_boulevard/README.md`](hollywood_boulevard/README.md). The real-site
|
|
facts and game mapping are documented in
|
|
[`../../hollywood-boulevard-map.md`](../../hollywood-boulevard-map.md).
|
|
|
|
## The Joke Shop — Sunset Strip
|
|
|
|
The current Joke Shop map is based on The Comedy Store at 8433 Sunset Blvd.
|
|
The real-site mapping and simplifications are in
|
|
[`../../joke-shop-map.md`](../../joke-shop-map.md); the frames are in
|
|
[`joke_shop/README.md`](joke_shop/README.md).

## Cross-cutting targets
|
|
|
|
For comparison with locally generated realism runs (`docs/screens/realism/`, gitignored):
|
|
|
|
- **Exposure.** The concepts keep the ground mid-grey; the game's sidewalk reads lighter, so it
|
|
overexposes against the reference.
|
|
- **Night means dark.** The night/dusk concepts are lit by practical lights only (marquee,
|
|
signage, street lamps), with wet pavement reflections.
|
|
- **Depth.** The concepts show a layered skyline fading into haze; the v2 skyline strips supply
|
|
this at the boulevard boundary.
|
|
- **Geometry and foliage.** The facades have plinths, cornices and deep window reveals, and the
|
|
trees and shrubs are organic; the venue-realism passes close these gaps incrementally.
