Progress Report

The beach map is now finished, too. For the neighborhood map, I still need to add a few trees and mailboxes, but I can't change much there—otherwise, it would deviate from the images that have already been rendered. My biggest concern is the data size. I need to find a good way to decompress the images dynamically; right now, they sit as raw files on the hard drive and can be streamed without consuming RAM.

You can see the new beach map in these images. There are also a few shots—some with and some without AI-generated background people.
