Beginner: has any film, TV, advertising or game production documented blocking a scene in an engine and then restyling it to photoreal video with a generative model, and what exists instead?
No production evidence was found: no dated first-person studio account, vendor case study with a named production, or measured on-set outcome for engine-blocking followed by generative restyling to photoreal video. What exists is research on game or simulator footage (RealMaster on GTA-V; Cosmos-Transfer on robotics and driving), a simulator integration (CARLA), a previs research prototype already in the catalogue (CinePreGen), and a vendor beta announcement (Reallusion AI Render). Absence is bounded to the searches and sources listed under negative_results.

Curator qualifications: All excerpts located; no production evidence found for engine-blocking then generative restyling (search-bounded negative).
Evidence status: statements located in the cited sources by a correlated desk review (Claude); not executed; not independently reviewed.
