City in a Glass Bottle

Sample Prompt: “Create a hyperrealistic poster in vertical orientation (aspect ratio 2:3), featuring a transparent glass bottle partially buried in fine, golden sand at a slight angle tilting towards the viewer, with a calm ocean and distant horizon in the background under bright midday sunlight. Inside the bottle, place a highly detailed miniature 3D model of Đà Nẵng, Vietnam, showcasing iconic landmarks such as the Dragon Bridge, Han River Bridge, My Khe Beach, Marble Mountains, and Bà Nà Hills cable car – positioned in the upper dry section, while clear seawater fills the lower section with subtle ripples. Include crisp shadows from the sun, realistic reflections on the water surface inside and outside the bottle, and subtle textures on the sand with scattered tiny shells for added realism. The bottle should have slight imperfections like minor scratches and bubbles in the glass for authenticity. Add a slightly weathered, curled paper label glued to the lower part of the bottle, with 'Đà Nẵng' handwritten in elegant calligraphy font. Compose the scene using the rule of thirds for balance, with the bottle as the focal point in the lower third, creating a dreamy yet ultra-detailed aesthetic with soft glow around the edges and vibrant colors."

• Lighting and Realistic Details: “The scene is set under bright sunlight,...” - Focuses on realism (hyperrealistic), with elements like crisp shadows, water reflections, and sand textures—making the image vivid.

• Overall Style: "The composition should be balanced,...". Combines "dreamy" with "ultra-detailed" to create a unique aesthetic.

A Restaurant in a Pill Capsule

Sample Prompt: “Create a hyper-realistic, stylish poster with a [16:9] aspect ratio, featuring a horizontal tablet-capsule hovering above a surface covered in condensation and water droplets, with its sharp shadow cast on the wet ground. One side of the capsule is transparent glass, showcasing strong refractions and environmental distortions, while the other is glossy red plastic, displaying the Burger King logo and name in embossed white lettering. Seamlessly floating inside the glass portion of the capsule is a perfectly recreated miniature 3D model of a modern Burger King restaurant, where cute, stylized cartoon figures are bustling and cheerful. Warm light from within illuminates the lively scene with tiny, charming burgers being served and miniature customers laughing. The glass and plastic surfaces showcase strong reflections and environmental distortions. The background is a softly blurred, elegant light-toned setting. Use a dynamic perspective with a stylish camera angle, professional studio lighting, and ultra-high detail to make the image look like a DSLR-captured photograph with impeccable realism.”

This prompt essentially has 6 parts, describing the capsule in specific detail:

• Capsule Details: "One side of the capsule is transparent glass…” - Clearly separates the two sides: one transparent glass and the other glossy red plastic, with optical effects like refractions and distortions to enhance the hyper-realism.

• Inside the Capsule: "Seamlessly floating inside the glass portion…” - A miniature model with cute, stylized cartoon characters, with warm internal lighting to add depth.

• Surface and Background Effects: "The glass and plastic surfaces…” - Emphasizes reflections and distortions to increase realism. The blurred background helps focus on the capsule.

• Overall Style: "Use a dynamic perspective with a stylish camera angle,...” - Provides clear instructions on the perspective, lighting, and style, making the image look more professional and like a real photograph.
