# Rendering: warm-scene

Golden-hour cinematic warmth — illustrated scenes with intentional warm lighting, soft shadows, atmospheric mood. Sits between `watercolor` (more painterly) and `corporate-photo` (more realistic). Used for personal growth stories, origin stories, brand narratives, lifestyle decks.

## 1. Style paragraph (paste-ready, 100 words)

> Atmospheric scene illustration with golden-hour cinematic lighting. Forms are softly rendered — recognizable but not photorealistic, with soft edges and intentional light direction. The scene has a clear primary light source (low sun, lamplight, window light) casting long soft shadows. Core colors are anchored by the deck roles; emotional warmth may derive through light placement, bloom, contrast, atmospheric haze, and coherent warm transitions without replacing the deck identity. Composition follows narrative principles — foreground subject, middle-ground context, atmospheric background. Overall feel is cinematic, contemplative, and emotionally warm, well suited to brand story and personal narrative content.

## 2. Line, texture, depth

| Aspect | Treatment |
|---|---|
| Line quality | Soft — forms defined by light and shadow, no hard outlines |
| Texture | Subtle painterly brush quality, optional very light film grain |
| Depth | Strong — foreground/middleground/background separation via atmospheric perspective |
| Material | Illustrated with golden-hour lighting |
| Mood | Cinematic, contemplative, warm |

## 3. Using the deck's HEX values

warm-scene uses the deck's HEX roles as identity anchors and creates warmth through light and contextual tonal transitions:

- Primary HEX: anchors shadows and middle-ground color family
- Secondary HEX: anchors the lit field or atmospheric separation
- Accent HEX: anchors a small concentrated zone — sun bloom, lamp glow, or key reflection

Derive warm light and haze without replacing those core families. Do not apply a generic orange grade that erases a deliberately cool brand identity; choose another rendering when that replacement would be necessary.

## 4. Fewshot prompt snippets

**Snippet A — half-page personal story, text_policy: none**

> Atmospheric scene illustration with golden-hour cinematic lighting. A softly rendered figure (simplified silhouette, no detailed face) walks along a path — foreground left, a small distant cabin in the middle ground, soft hills in the atmospheric background. Strong low-angle light comes from the upper right and casts long soft shadows. The sky derives from the deck's secondary-background family, main forms from primary, and a small sun bloom from accent; coherent light/shadow transitions support the atmosphere without replacing those anchors. No hard outlines — forms emerge from light and shadow. Add subtle bloom and film grain at 8% opacity. Composed as a 600×800 half-page block with 10% inner padding. Simplified silhouette figures only; no realistic faces, text, or labels.
