Opus 5.5 rebuilds Oakland's Paramount Theatre in 3D from a 1931 floor plan
Given a 1931 theatre floor plan, Opus 5.5 generated a browser-explorable 3D scene with all 3,476 seats in 30 minutes and rendered a 1,800-frame 1440p single-take video.
I GAVE CLAUDE OPUS 5.5 ONE FLOOR PLAN FROM 1931. 30 MINUTES LATER IT HAD REBUILT THE WHOLE THEATER IN 3D, ALL 3,476 SEATS Neon sign and marquee, Grand Lobby with the green glass ceiling, three balcony tiers, ceiling grille, stage and curtain. One message, runs in a browser tab. Orchestra: 1,796 seats Balcony: 1,680 seats Geometry: 279,000 triangles, 23 draw calls Camera: one 30 second move, no cuts Video: 1,800 frames at 1440p, 8 renders per frame The building is the Paramount Theatre in Oakland, opened in 1931 for $3,000,000. The plan is sheet 2 of the architects' original drawings, from the Historic American Buildings Survey at the Library of Congress. Original plan in the replies. A plan only gives the footprint. Heights come from the National Historic Landmark file (90 ft auditorium, 100 ft facade), finishes from public photos. Treat it as an illustration, nobody measured anything on site. The fun part is that almost any old building kept on plans and drawings can come back as a scene you can explore from every angle. This theater is just the first. HABS alone holds 72,828 sheets of measured drawings, most of them public domain. This is the first version, zero edits. How would you rate it out of 10?
