unreal Render Pipeline (discrepancy)

An unreal project “Desert 5.8” rendered an 802-frame PNG sequence (“DesertSequence”) found on disk. EARLIER wiki pages treated this as the film’s desert/moon layer.

Discrepancy with authoritative data

The MovieLabs OMC export (Agent Production Bible v1, era look guide, shot list) describes the pipeline as archive + AI generation + human compositing, with NO unreal renders. The bible lists no unreal step; generation is done by Gen-Image/Gen-Video agents (AGT-002/003); the desert in sc04 is a consumer-VHS era, not a CG render.

Conclusion: the unreal “Desert 5.8” renders are likely an EARLY/parallel experiment NOT part of the authoritative production pipeline. Treat as low-confidence background material until confirmed.

Evidence on disk

• Project: UnrealEngineProjects/Desert 5.8/
• Output: Saved/MovieRenders/DesertSequence.0000.png -> .0801.png (802 frames ~= 33s at 24fps)
• See desert-5-8-renders raw note.

Notes

• Do NOT cite this page as the film’s render pipeline; the authoritative pipeline is ai-agent-pipeline.
• If the UE renders are confirmed as an early look-dev for sc04/sc05, move this page back to medium confidence and link the eras.
