A 4K rainy-night 7-Eleven, in Blender

Sac's claim is specific. Codex plus Blender can now hold a frame that feels like a commercial film. The test is a 4K rainy night outside a 7-Eleven, which is a mean test, because everyone already knows what that fluorescent box looks like in the wet.

Rain is where 3D scenes usually go thin. Droplets, reflections on the pavement, the glow leaking out of the doors. If any one of those slips, the cinematic claim slips with it. Watch the clip for the small wet things.

The author's next hope follows from the frame. A convenience store at night that looks like this makes a short film, directed by hand in the same tools, feel like a reasonable next week.
