HOLY SHIT. OPUS 5.5 IS CRAZY. Napoleon's sharpest battle lasted a morning and won him Europe. I just had it turn that morning into a complete 5 minute film. All code. - It wrote the engine, the soldiers, the score, the voice. - The hills are the real battlefield from satellite data. - The sun rises where it actually rose on 2 December 1805. 90 minutes to build. 4 hours to render. $40 (cloud agent credits). Code + prompt below.
