// ============================================================
//  LUMEN-1 · Pilot 001 — "The Face"
//  A complete cinematic scene written in pure code.
//  Assets stream live from the web (model + HDRI environment).
//  The skin is shaded by the built-in LUMEN skin shader:
//  subsurface scattering, blood-tinted terminator, procedural
//  pores, clearcoat gloss and peach-fuzz sheen — all in GLSL.
//  Press COMPILE & RUN, then EXPORT VIDEO to save a .webm file.
