Lunar Uplink

Deploys that work from anywhere, even here: a lunar base at local morning, the iPad on a parked rover's console, a release pushed and rolled out region by region while the health checks go green, one tap to roll back, and the base sign lights up on the name.

A small lunar base seen from outside: dusty regolith to a close curved horizon, the Earth in an empty sky, a habitat module, an open-frame rover, a dish, a beacon, cases and boulders, under one hard low sun with long shadows and a cool earthshine rim. Six measured beats over 34 s at 96 bpm: an establishing wide, over the seat, low past the dish, two holds, then a pull-back.

    LUNAR UPLINK — "Deploys that work from anywhere. Even here."  ·  a 33.75 s modeled-3D promo
    for Uplink (a fictional deploy dashboard: push a release, watch it roll out region by region
    with health checks going green, one-tap rollback).

    WORLD  A lunar base seen from outside, local morning. The ground is a sphere R = 400 m (so the
           horizon curves and sits ~30 m away), regolith albedo + bump generated for this promo
           (media/regolith-*.png, audio-work/regolith_tex.py), two raised crater rims (flattened
           tori), two rover tracks, pebbles. A 2.5 m sign board (lit in s5, dim in s1). Earth (R 120 km, 2.7 km out, 11° up) with a thin additive limb ring
           and a haze glow; ~420 unlit star spheres 3 km out. Rover front = −z.
    LIGHT  One hard sun (directional, 15° up, from camera-left/behind, E 3.0), a cool "Earthshine"
           rim (directional from behind, 5° up, E 0.5), hemisphere 0.02, studio HDR 0.08. The iPad
           glass is a practical (area light); the beacon blinks amber (emissive + point light).
           No tone curve (tone_mapping=None + output_transform=2), SSAA ×2, DOF via dof_pass=three.
