# Environment as events

People and places / Setting / A living place. Checked 2026-10-13.

Weather, waves and crowds that behave like a real place instead of a looping texture.

- Use when: Outdoor scenes, crowds, anything where the background should live.
- Phrase: at 1.2 seconds a wave hits the rocks and the spray rises a tenth of the frame; at 3.8 seconds a gust bends the grass; irregular, never on a beat

## Watch out

- Treat the environment as timed events with a size, at uneven intervals. Described as a texture it loops. (vendor; Higgsfield Seedance 2.5 prompting guide, read 28 Sep 2026)
