Round 03 · artwork rebuild

Long flourishes, one implied sphere

Keep the three useful timing structures, but replace every short or empty pigment event with a complete nine-frame gesture: tiny entry, long pooled sweep, tiny exit.

Outcome: 12 passed QA · 3 heroes
Active build time: 1h 17m 57s
Scope: 108 occupied source states

Controlled edit path

Structure first, material second

Blue structure v1 established the correct sequential orbit but remained too calligraphic. One controlled edit preserved the grid, travel, safety margin, and small-to-long-to-small progression while making the body pooled, lumpy, wet, and blobby.

Twelve pigment-specific paths then entered a twenty-four-slot score every two slots. Older pigment paints first and newly entering pigment paints last, leaving four or five complete flourishes active without a hard circle, multiply, detached flecks, or generated in-between frames.

First blue orbital flourish structure — Structure v1 · contained motion was right; the watercolor body was too calligraphic.

Blue watercolor material revision — Material v2 · same sequence, now pooled, blobby, and organically wide.

Twenty-four round-three composite frames — Four to five complete flourishes overlap while remaining inside the implied sphere.

Round-three six by four composite atlas — The exact row-major atlas used by all three heroes.

Promoted timing, rebuilt artwork

Three complete flourishes

Direct paintings only

Hero 3C · 2C cadence

Quiet flourish

Promoted

Playback: 8 fps
Output: 24 frames
Duration: 3.00 s
Color play: 1.13 s

The promoted 2C cadence now carries complete nine-frame flourishes. Each pigment has time to enter, wrap around the orb, and taper away.

The cleanest read of the new artwork: twenty-four distinct composite paintings, played directly with no repeated or interpolated frames.

Hero 3E · 2E cadence

High-rate flourish

Promoted

Playback: 24 fps
Output: 96 frames
Duration: 4.00 s
Color play: 1.50 s

The same twenty-four composites, each held for four output frames. The 24 fps container stays compatible while the artwork moves at a measured six-step cadence.

A direct round-three successor to 2E. Nothing is synthesized between the watercolor paintings.

Hero 3F · 2F cadence

Breathing flourish

Promoted

Playback: 12 fps
Output: 55 frames
Duration: 4.58 s
Color play: 1.50–2.00 s

Coverage-weighted dwell gives the fullest overlapping arcs three or four beats while the tapered endpoints pass lightly.

The most authored rhythm: it lingers when the orb coheres and releases quickly when a color is only entering or leaving.

Twelve complete orbital flourishes

All passed edge safety

Each sheet reads left-to-right, top-to-bottom. The first and last cells are small on purpose; the middle cells carry the long centripetal sweep. None of the pigment reaches a tile edge.

Round-three score

Complete events, staggered every two slots

4–5 active colors

The temporal order is red, mint, cyan, yellow, magenta, sky, green, pink, violet, orange, lime, blue. Every event now spans all nine authored cells.
