A Van Gogh scene generator, a month of evenings

Simon Lee did not start from a blank prompt. The project began as Blender geometry nodes and oil-paint materials. A month of spare time, on and off, went into moving that craft into the browser with Codex.

A stylized Van Gogh scene is a hard taste test. The swirl has to read as paint. A generator other people can play with has to keep that look across more than one camera and more than one arrangement.

The pace belongs in the feature. A month of amateur hours is a different kind of AI project from the one-shot clips around it. The model is the workshop. The person still comes back.
