SAN FRANCISCO 2047 / ROUND 24 REFERENCE REVIEW

More depth.
More believable waterfronts.

31 images found: six adjacent full frames and a curated packet of 25 hero, architectural, canal, skyline and atmosphere views. The next pass should begin with a connected waterfront block: recessed facades, visible occupied rooms, working docks, material variation and water contact.

Next-round detail guidePriority reference boardSix adjacent full framesNative model omitted from this web edition.
Nine selected references for the next detail pass

Keep the current dusk lighting and scene layout. The storm mood is deferred atmosphere guidance. These references primarily support the city's architecture, public realm, water and vehicles; they add no close-up face, food or drone construction reference.

The packet declares six parent images with different filenames. Their relationship to the six adjacent PNGs is not established, and visual differences prevent treating them as simple verified crops. The packet's 4K hero and 1080p supporting views are declared upscales/crops, not newly captured detail. The ZIP exactly duplicates the extracted packet.

Context and validation

The packet brief, CSV, annotations, entity map and original handoffs are retained. Historical v18–v25 evaluation scores and production targets are labeled as prior context. The current baseline is v48, retaining the dining barge, crane-yard ferry, underwater drone, flood gate and two-minute flight.

This is a reference discovery and planning deliverable. No Blender geometry, lighting or camera was changed. Proposed visual checks are described in the guide; they have not been run or passed.
