Quick render from a screenshot
Just generated a quick render for a project, copy my prompt!
ORIGINAL PROMPT:
"Generate a high quality photorealistic image from this image. It shows a swimming pool in the middle of a housing complexe with white concrete walls, vertical bamboo guardrails, terracotta rooftiles, travertine pavers on the exterior floor. Make the trees realistic and add Mediterranean vegetation. Add people enjoying the pool. Keep the same angle and respect the elements appearing in the existing image."
Now here's another more precise and in-depth prompt made with chatGPT from my original prompt. I uploaded my original Sketchup screenshot and asked chatGPT to generate a more precise prompt based on my simple original one. I asked to use the reference image and to make it photorealistic:
PROMPT:
"Transform the provided architectural sketch/reference image into an ultra-realistic, high-end architectural visualization while preserving the exact camera position, composition, perspective, building massing, pool dimensions, circulation paths, furniture layout, and all architectural elements shown in the reference.
The scene depicts a contemporary Mediterranean residential complex organized around a central communal swimming pool. The architecture features crisp white stucco and painted concrete walls, warm vertical bamboo privacy screens and guardrails, natural terracotta roof tiles, dark bronze aluminum window frames, and large-format light beige travertine pavers surrounding the pool. Maintain the exact arrangement of the buildings, balconies, stairs, pool deck, planters, and seating areas visible in the reference image.
Replace the sketch-style vegetation with highly realistic Mediterranean landscaping. Add mature olive trees (Olea europaea), Mediterranean cypress trees, small citrus trees, lavender, rosemary, agapanthus, ornamental grasses, and drought-tolerant shrubs. Vegetation should feel lush yet carefully curated, creating a refined resort-like atmosphere. The large trees in the background should become realistic mature specimens with detailed trunks, branches, and natural foliage.
The swimming pool should contain crystal-clear turquoise water with realistic reflections, subtle ripples, underwater caustics, and accurate light interaction. The travertine paving should display natural stone variation, slight imperfections, edge wear, and realistic joint patterns.
Populate the space with diverse residents enjoying the communal courtyard: adults relaxing on sun loungers, a couple conversing near the pool edge, children playing in the shallow area, residents walking through the courtyard, and small groups socializing on the terraces. All people should appear natural, candid, and integrated into the environment.
Lighting should be warm Mediterranean afternoon sunlight, around 4:00 PM, with a clear blue sky and soft atmospheric haze. Sunlight should create realistic shadows beneath balconies, furniture, and vegetation. Emphasize warm highlights on the white walls, terracotta roofs, and bamboo elements. The atmosphere should feel welcoming, vibrant, and lived-in, similar to a luxury residential resort in southern France, Spain, or coastal Italy.
Materials must be highly detailed:
- White stucco walls with subtle texture and weathering.
- Natural vertical bamboo guardrails with visible grain and tonal variation.
- Authentic terracotta roof tiles with realistic aging and imperfections.
- Light beige travertine paving with detailed stone texture.
- Powder-coated metal outdoor furniture with high-quality fabric cushions.
- Realistic glazing with subtle reflections and interior depth.
Rendering style: ultra-photorealistic architectural visualization, premium real-estate marketing image, V-Ray / Corona Renderer quality, physically accurate materials, global illumination, ray-traced reflections, realistic shadows, high dynamic range, 8K detail, natural color grading, architectural photography quality.
Negative Prompt: Do not alter the camera angle, building geometry, pool shape, balcony layout, stair locations, planter positions, or courtyard proportions. Avoid cartoon effects, painterly styles, CGI appearance, oversaturated colors, low-detail vegetation, blurry textures, excessive lens distortion, unrealistic people, empty spaces, flat lighting, or artificial-looking materials. Maintain complete fidelity to the reference image composition and architecture."
