Train Platform at Dusk

A phone on a bench at a station platform at dusk: a low sun through the far glazing, sodium pendants and a granite floor mirroring the hall, with a strong depth of field.

A train station platform at dusk with a steel bench, a polished granite floor full of reflections, warm sodium pendants and a low sun raking through the far glazing, with a train waiting in the hazy distance. One continuous 13 s take in four beats: a backlit macro along the bench into bokeh, a rise and hold, a pull out to the wide platform, then a slow low drift over the stone.

    REALISM PLATFORM — "Train platform at dusk" (see SCENE.md)

    The third set of the realism series: a built interior seen directly. The hamburg_hbf_1k station
    hall is mounted as a grounded dome; a low sun rakes in through the far end's glazing, sodium
    pendants hang over the platform, and a polished granite island under the bench must mirror the
    hall (roof glazing, pendants, the red train) in every render path. Strong depth of field: the
    subject is 0.5–3.5 m away, the hall 10–15 m. Props: TRELLIS from FLUX (models/, models.json);
    the bench is primitives so its seat is exactly 450 and its steel is real metal.

    SUN  hamburg_hbf_1k's brightest texel is (127, 205) of 1024 × 512: 17.8° up, φ = −135° in
         three's equirect lookup → direction (−0.673, 0.306, −0.673). The HDR floor carries that
         sun's own pool 4–10 m out along the same line, so the key is laid along it.
    SET  the dome's capture point is the origin; the platform runs along x (tracks at z ≈ −6.6 m and
         z ≈ +4.5 m, from the HDR's floor rows). The bench stands at the origin, its long axis
         R = (−0.707, 0, −0.707), its front F = (0.707, 0, −0.707): a bench-local (bx, bz) is
         x = −0.707 (bx − bz), z = −0.707 (bx + bz); yaw 135 maps local x → R, local z → F.
         The sun comes in along +R: from the right of the wide, shadows fall left.
    Y    seat top 450 (slats 26 thick, centred 437); props y = surface + scale × |minY|.
    SCREEN  Ferro, a fictional rail-ticket app (realism-platform.screens.html → scripts/html-screens.mts);
         while the camera holds on the phone the platform changes 7 → 4 and the ticket turns "Boarding".

    Authored look is the series' common case: no tone curve (sRGB only), SSAA 4. Everything else is a
    render-time switch on the URL (gpu/realism, gpu/pathtrace).

    // Focus follows the look-at, so the raster DOF stays on the subject.
