Music Studio After Dark

A home recording room at night lit by dozens of small LEDs and one dim key; the camera travels onto a laptop recording a vocal take.

A home recording studio at night with a wooden desk against a foam-clad wall, an anodised mixing console with glowing level meters, speakers, headphones, a guitar and a lava lamp, lit only by moody strips of coloured light and the lamp's glow. One continuous 13 s take in four beats: a low macro over the faders, a travel and hold, a pull out to the wide room, then a drift down onto the lava lamp and headphones.

    REALISM STUDIO — "Music studio, after dark" (see SCENE.md)

    A home recording room at night, lit by dozens of small emissives and one dim warm key: a
    walnut desk on a foam-clad wall, a small anodised mixing console (60 LED meter segments,
    18 lit buttons, aluminium knobs and fader caps), studio monitors, headphones, a lava lamp,
    a violet LED strip grazing the foam, a cyan LED bar in the corner, a guitar on its stand,
    and a laptop running Loomtone, a fictional music app recording a vocal take.
    Props: TRELLIS from FLUX (models/, models.json), placed as meshopt-simplified `-lo` copies
    (3.4 M → 0.87 M triangles: the traced export rebuilds its BVH every frame and ran out of
    memory at frame 153 with the full meshes); the console, the lava lamp and the LED
    practicals are primitives so their emissives sit exactly where they light.

    SET   x right, y up, z toward the camera. Desk top Y = 740 (z −1150…−350); console faceplate
          Y = 802; meter bridge face z = −720; back wall z = −1300. Props y = surface + scale × |minY|.
    LIGHT no sun, no sky: a closed room, so the traced frames are lit only by what is in it.
          studio_small_04_2k lights the raster at night strength (rule C62); no authored fog
          (the traced composite fogs by first-hit depth); haze is the render-time `haze` word.
    SCREEN Loomtone (realism-studio.screens.html → scripts/html-screens.mts, r = 4, rule C46):
          the vocal take records while the camera holds on it (4.6–6.9 s), then "Take 3 saved".

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