# 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`](../../../hollywood-boulevard-map.md).

## Entrance — day

## Entrance — day, photo-anchored

![El Capitan Entertainment Centre entrance in daylight, anchored on the 2009 facade photo](hollywood_boulevard_entrance_day-v2.png)

Generated with `generate --reference`, anchored on the licence-cleared
[`el-capitan-facade-day-wikimedia-2009-10-27.jpg`](../../refs/hollywood/el-capitan-facade-day-wikimedia-2009-10-27.jpg)
board photo (CC BY 2.0); provenance in
[`hollywood_boulevard_entrance_day-v2.refgen.json`](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)

![El Capitan facade at night, anchored on the facade photo](el_capitan_facade_night.png)

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)

![El Capitan facade under flat overcast light](el_capitan_facade_weathered.png)

Same framing under flat overcast light. The weathering requested came out
mild — treat this as the overcast target, not a decay reference.

## Facade — local-reference anchored, two models

![El Capitan facade anchored on a local research frame, Gemini](el_capitan_facade_gemini_day.png)

![El Capitan facade anchored on a local research frame, GPT image](el_capitan_facade_gpt_day.png)

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.
