Hollywood Boulevard references
AI-generated art-direction frames for the real El Capitan Entertainment Centre
block at 6840 Hollywood Boulevard. They are generated with
tools/scene_concepts.py generate --group scene --only ... and are not shipped
game textures. The geometry mapping and source links are in
../../../hollywood-boulevard-map.md.
Entrance — day
Entrance — day, photo-anchored
Generated with generate --reference, anchored on the licence-cleared
el-capitan-facade-day-wikimedia-2009-10-27.jpg
board photo (CC BY 2.0); provenance in
hollywood_boulevard_entrance_day-v2.refgen.json.
The facade geometry (motto band, column rhythm, lattice windows, banner slots,
blade sign) follows the photograph; the street is restaged clean for art
direction.
Facade — night (photo-anchored)
Same facade photo as the day frame, restaged to night with practical lighting only (marquee, signage, street lamps) and wet pavement. The blade sign, banner slots and lattice windows follow the photograph.
Facade — overcast (photo-anchored)
Same framing under flat overcast light. The weathering requested came out mild — treat this as the overcast target, not a decay reference.
Entrance — night
Across the boulevard
Facade — local-reference anchored, two models
Both frames are anchored on the same local-only research photo
(tmp/research/elcapitan/01.jpg, gitignored) with --reference-unchecked, one with
google/gemini-2.5-flash-image and one with openai/gpt-5-image-mini. Provenance and model are
in each frame's .refgen.json sidecar. Local reference only; the photo never enters the repo and
these frames are art direction, not assets.
