This comparison stood out immediately. The Hunyuan 3.5 version goes for a much more cinematic storm scene — the tilted train, heavy rain, shattered debris and people reacting on the bridge make the whole frame feel chaotic and in motion. There’s a surprising amount of detail packed into one shot.

I also liked how it handled a completely different visual style. Here Hunyuan 3.5 keeps the bold red, black and deep blue palette while adding sharper facial features, dramatic shadows and that comic-book halftone look. It feels stylized without losing the character design.

This was probably the most impressive test for me. A helicopter rescue, rough ocean, lighthouse, boat, cliffs, rain and multiple characters — there’s a lot happening at once. Hunyuan 3.5 still manages to turn the detailed prompt into a coherent cinematic scene with strong depth and atmosphere.

And it isn’t limited to cinematic realism either. In this Art Deco example, Hunyuan 3.5 preserves the geometric framing, gold detailing, peacock-inspired headpiece and vintage fashion while giving the composition its own more intricate look. Really interesting range across these tests.
