The anatomy

Five parts, in order

The field takes up to 800 characters; most lines that work use fewer than 120. Every part below earns its place.

Subject

One concrete noun and its defining feature. The generator builds exactly what you name — nothing implied, nothing off-frame.

“a single-cylinder engine block”

Material

Say what it’s made of. Materials drive the whole surface — colour, reflection, wear.

“brushed aluminium, worn leather straps”

Style

Name the visual language outright. Left unnamed, the output averages every style it knows.

“stylized, hand-painted fantasy”

Detail level

Tell it how much surface information to invent, and where it belongs.

“high detail, scratched edges, dented corners”

Topology intent

Say where the mesh is headed. A game asset wants a triangle budget; a hero render wants density.

“low-poly, game-ready”

Worked examples

Nine prompts that work

Take any of them into the studio unchanged — or swap the nouns and keep the structure.

a weathered wooden rowing boat, peeling blue paint, coiled rope on the bow, high detail

Do & don’t

The habits that pay

Do

Write nouns and materials

“weathered oak, brass hinges” beats “a cool old box” every time

Do

Name the style

low-poly, stylized or photoreal — an unnamed style averages out

Do

State the polycount intent

“game-ready” reads as a budget; “for close-ups” reads as density

Don’t

Stack contradictions

“ancient yet futuristic” splits the difference and loses both

Don’t

Describe the camera or the lighting

a mesh has neither — both belong to your engine, not the prompt

Don’t

Ask for lettering

text and logos come back as texture noise, not typography
