Step 2: the look of every place

Made on 2026-10-01 after your yes: 12 pictures, one try each, and 5 sharpenings. Spent: 147 credits, exactly as approved (12 pictures at 11, and 5 Topaz sharpenings at 3). You have 5,215.5 credits left. Nothing else has been made.

What I need from you: say which pictures you approve. Two rooms have one fault each that I could not fix for free (the forest and the desert, where the picture's edges meet); I can have that strip repainted for 11 credits per room if you say yes.

Space and the five gates

Wide 4K pictures (3,840 × 2,160), made with GPT Image 2. One try each.

Space (Home)

The black hole sits in a gold-and-blue galaxy, the Earth below has a thin blue edge and a faint aurora, and the dark stone platform with gold lines floats empty in the lower middle. He will be added on the platform by code, small, looking up. I found nothing wrong.

The prompt that was sent (job cf95687d-2614-412d-a228-4c6047cd45f0)
A real photograph of deep space full of stars and colorful nebula clouds; an original black hole near the heart of a gold-and-blue spiral galaxy, its bright swirling disk bending the starlight; the Earth below, lit from one side, with a thin blue edge, moving clouds and faint aurora near its pole; a floating platform of dark stone with thin gold lines. The platform is small in the lower middle of the frame, about a fifth of the frame wide, seen from a little above so that its flat top shows, and completely empty. The black hole and the galaxy fill the upper half; the Earth curves across the lower part. Natural light, real textures, no people, no figures, no creatures, no text. A real photograph, like a still from a big-budget movie. Not a 3D render, not CGI, not an illustration, not a video game. Shot on an ARRI Alexa movie camera with a 28mm lens. Real textures, natural light and shadow, soft atmospheric haze, slight film grain, true-to-life color. No text, no letters, no numbers, no logos, no watermark, no border.

The five gates (Home)

The five gates (Home)

Five stone gates with gold lines on a snowy plateau at night, each with a beam of its color. The nearest gate is ice-blue and lies under the camera, so only its far part shows at the bottom, as planned. Beyond it, from left to right: silver-green, indigo, violet, orange. There is very little falling snow in the picture itself; the snow is added by code. I found nothing wrong.

A real photograph of a high snowy mountain plateau under the clouds at night; five gates in a gentle arc, each glowing its world's color, soft beams of colored light rising into the falling snow. Seen from the air, about 8 meters above the plateau, looking down about 35 degrees. Five gates in the approved ring 4d design <<<51ff0121-52f1-41f2-b20e-b3843c9efe4f>>>: each is a wide circular ring of dark weathered stone that stands a little above the ground, with thin gold lines set into the stone, exactly like the approved ring 4d, about 7 meters across. The nearest gate glows ice blue and lies right below the camera, so only its far part shows along the bottom of the frame; the other four stand beyond it in a gentle arc, glowing silver-green, indigo, violet and orange. Lots of open snow between them, nothing close to the camera. Natural light, real textures, no people, no figures, no creatures, no text. A real photograph, like a still from a big-budget movie. Not a 3D render, not CGI, not an illustration, not a video game. Shot on an ARRI Alexa movie camera with a 28mm lens. Real textures, natural light and shadow, soft atmospheric haze, slight film grain, true-to-life color. No text, no letters, no numbers, no logos, no watermark, no border.

The five rooms

Each room was made once at 21:9 in true 4K (GPT Image 2 offers no 2:1 shape), sharpened to 8K with Topaz, and then completed by code into an exactly 2:1 picture of 7,680 × 3,840. The picture is never stretched. The code puts the picture's eye-level line on the middle row, joins the left and right edges, and fills the two spots the picture does not reach, straight above and straight below.

Before showing them, I looked at every room in the 360 viewer from ten directions: ahead, left, right, behind, at the join, and up and down. What I saw is written under each room.

The gate overhead is not in these pictures. As you decided, it is drawn by code from the approved ring 4d. It comes with the proof (step 3), where the match check (Q1) confirms that it is the same gate as in the landing shot.

Level all the way around: the far floor meets the walls on the eye-level line. The left and right edges join with no line. Straight up and straight down are clean. Two things to know: the gate is a little to the right of the middle of the picture, so the room simply starts turned toward it; and small warm lights sit at the foot of two crystal groups.

Checks: exactly 2:1 (7,680 × 3,840). Not stretched. Every picture dot was copied as it is. The picture reaches 83.4° up and 71.1° down from eye level; the code filled the last 6.6° straight above (with real ceiling from right beside it) and the last 18.9° straight below (with real floor from right beside it).

A real photograph of a vast cavern inside a glacier on a mountain top: a wide open frosted floor with a frozen river of clear ice crossing it, lit from beneath; towering walls of deep-blue ice with giant frozen waterfalls; a few ice crystals as tall as trees at the far edges; a high, thin ice ceiling with green-violet aurora rippling through it, seen as a 360-degree panorama (equirectangular) with seamless left and right edges from eye level at the center of a big open space, with lots of open floor around the center and nothing close to the camera. One gate in the approved ring 4d design <<<51ff0121-52f1-41f2-b20e-b3843c9efe4f>>>: a wide circular ring of dark weathered stone that stands a little above the ground, with thin gold lines set into the stone, exactly like the approved ring 4d, about 7 meters across. It stands in the floor ahead of the center, its near edge about 6 meters from the center, glowing silver-green with a glimpse of a moonlit forest of giant trees. Natural light, real textures, no people, no figures, no creatures, no text. A real photograph, like a still from a big-budget movie. Not a 3D render, not CGI, not an illustration, not a video game.

Open this room in the 360 viewer The flat 2:1 picture · The picture as the tool made it (21:9)

Level all the way around. The moon is round and the sky straight overhead is clean. Not right yet: where the left and right edges of the picture meet (behind you when you face the gate), the two sides show different ground, and you can see where they meet. The tool did not make its edges match here. My blend softens it but cannot invent ground. A real fix is for the picture tool to repaint that strip: 11 credits, one try.

Checks: exactly 2:1 (7,680 × 3,840). Not stretched. Below eye level every picture dot was copied as it is. Above eye level the rows are packed closer toward the top, exactly as the ball narrows there, so the moon stays round and the stars stay dots; nothing was made bigger. The picture reaches 66.3° up and 64.9° down from eye level; the code filled the last 23.7° straight above (open night sky, with stars made to match the real ones beside it) and the last 25.1° straight below (with real floor from right beside it).
