Create an empty location reference plate in a warm, stylized Pixar/DreamWorks-style 3D CG animation render — no people present. Hand-crafted animated-film exterior, painterly matte surfaces, NOT photorealistic. ATTACH REFERENCE IMAGE: the already-approved Location Plate 7 (Volga night scene with burning heart) for this project — this must be recognizably the SAME place: same grassy sloped bank, same wooden pier/jetty, same willow and birch trees, same far-bank silhouette with the small church dome, same camera vantage point. Match the exact render style and level of stylization, but remove the burning heart and all fire/flame elements entirely. Scene: the identical riverbank, now at calm, warm dusk — no fire, no balloons, no decorations of any kind, just the natural, peaceful place itself. Soft warm amber-to-blue gradient sky reflecting gently on the still river water, a few birds silhouetted far in the sky, the same wooden pier and bench quietly waiting, willow branches swaying gently. A feeling of quiet, settled warmth — the place where it all began, now softly lit by nostalgia rather than spectacle. Time of day: calm early evening/dusk, warm golden-pink afterglow low on the horizon fading into soft blue above, gentle even light, long soft shadows. Camera: eye-level wide angle, same framing as Locations 6 and 7 (looking across the river along the bank), pier and bench in the mid-foreground, far bank softly visible in the warm dusk haze. LOCKED: no people, no fire, no balloons/decorations of any kind, no readable text. Same overall render style, lighting treatment and level of stylization as the approved location plates and character reference sheets for this project.
