OUR NOTEA screen recording of an explorable cel-shaded 3D scene, where the camera glides along railway tracks lined with orange, red and yellow autumn trees; the author says it recreates a photo and cost about $38 in API usage.
Oh my god...
Opus 5.5 is the best model in 3D rendering, BY FAR.
I gave the following prompt: "create a highly detailed 3D scenery that faithfully captures this photo in a cel-shaded cartoon art style" and it crushed it.
The detail, the lighting, the colors, the visual fidelity... I have no words for this.
Didn't even exceed the Claude Pro session limits.
Cost around $38 in API usage.
