### **Optimized Dynamic AI Prompt for Supernova Explosion VFX**
This prompt is structured as a dynamic template. It is designed to be a comprehensive framework that allows you to easily modify variables to generate a wide variety of cinematic supernova effects. Each section is a building block; you can mix, match, and customize the bracketed `[VARIABLE]` elements to achieve your desired visual.
**Best Practices Integrated:**
* **Specificity:** Moves from broad concepts to fine details.
* **Structured Language:** Uses clear, descriptive language that AI models can easily parse.
* **Multi-Faceted Description:** Covers subject, action, environment, style, and technical parameters.
* **Universality:** Avoids platform-specific syntax in the core description, making it compatible with Midjourney, Stable Diffusion, DALL-E 3, and others. A final note on platform-specific commands is included.

### **The Dynamic Prompt Template**
**(Copy, paste, and customize the bracketed sections)**
#### **1. Core Subject & Scene-Setting**
* **Primary Subject:** Cinematic VFX shot of the catastrophic supernova explosion of a `[Star Type]`.
* **Scale & Scope:** The scene is an `[Scale Adjective]` moment of cosmic creation and destruction, viewed from an `[Shot Type]`.
**Variable Options:**
* `[Star Type]`: Blue Supergiant, Red Supergiant, massive Wolf-Rayet star, binary star system merger, white dwarf accretion.
* `[Scale Adjective]`: awe-inspiring, terrifying, cataclysmic, breathtakingly beautiful, apocalyptically grand.
* `[Shot Type]`: extreme wide shot, epic long shot, point-of-view from a nearby spaceship cockpit, god-like high-angle shot.
—
#### **2. Explosion Morphology & Visual Dynamics**
* **Explosion Shape & Structure:** The explosion is not a simple sphere. It erupts with a distinct morphology, characterized by `[Primary Shape]` and interwoven with `[Secondary Structures]`.
* **Energy & Light Emission:** The core of the explosion radiates `[Light Quality]` light, casting dramatic god-rays and causing `[Lens & Light Effects]`. A rapidly expanding shockwave of `[Shockwave Description]` plasma is visible.
* **Ejecta & Debris Field:** Billions of tons of stellar material are ejected outwards as `[Ejecta Description]`. This debris field is composed of `[Debris Composition]`, catching the light in intricate ways.
**Variable Options:**
* `[Primary Shape]`: powerful bipolar jets erupting from the star’s poles, a complex and asymmetrical multi-lobed structure, a perfectly spherical but textured shockwave, a chaotic and turbulent fireball.
* `[Secondary Structures]`: twisting magnetic field lines, intricate fractal-like filaments, gaseous tendrils, a shimmering hourglass nebula forming in its wake.
* `[Light Quality]`: blindingly intense, pure white-hot, ethereal and multi-hued, pulsating and unstable.
* `[Lens & Light Effects]`: cinematic anamorphic lens flares, subtle chromatic aberration on the edges of the blast, gravitational lensing effects warping the background stars.
* `[Shockwave Description]`: shimmering and translucent, opaque and fiery, crystalline and refractive.
* `[Ejecta Description]`: superheated plasma filaments, glowing cosmic dust clouds, molten celestial shrapnel, iridescent gas ribbons.
* `[Debris Composition]`: incandescent heavy metals, glowing silicon crystals, superheated hydrogen and helium gas.

#### **3. Color Palette & Atmosphere**
* **Primary Colors:** The scene is dominated by a `[Palette Adjective]` color palette of `[Primary Colors]`.
* **Accent & Highlight Colors:** Accents of `[Accent Colors]` highlight the most energetic and volatile regions of the explosion.
* **Overall Mood:** The atmosphere is `[Atmospheric Mood]`, emphasizing the raw power and silent violence of space.
**Variable Options:**
* `[Palette Adjective]`: high-contrast, ethereal, violent, nebula-inspired, scientifically plausible.
* `[Primary Colors]`: deep cosmic indigo and solar orange, celestial cyan and vibrant magenta, stark white and void black.
* `[Accent Colors]`: electric blue, searing yellow-white, blood-red, emerald green.
* `[Atmospheric Mood]`: majestic and awe-inspiring, lonely and terrifying, dramatic and operatic, gritty and realistic.
—
#### **4. Cinematic & Stylistic Influence**
* **Director/Film Style:** The shot is in the style of a major motion picture, visually directed by `[Director’s Name]` or inspired by the aesthetic of films like `[Film Title(s)]`.
* **Composition:** The composition follows the rule of thirds, with `[Focal Point]` as the primary focus. The background consists of `[Background Elements]`.
* **Texture & Realism:** The visual texture is `[Texture Description]`, aiming for a look that feels both spectacular and grounded.
**Variable Options:**
* `[Director’s Name]`: Christopher Nolan (grounded, epic scale), Denis Villeneuve (atmospheric, brutalist aesthetic), James Cameron (hyper-detailed, immersive), Stanley Kubrick (symmetrical, sterile beauty).
* `[Film Title(s)]`: *Interstellar*, *Blade Runner 2049*, *2001: A Space Odyssey*, *Sunshine*, *Guardians of the Galaxy*.
* `[Focal Point]`: the star’s collapsing core, the tip of an expanding plasma jet, a silhouetted planet on the verge of annihilation.
* `[Background Elements]`: a dense field of distant stars, the swirling arms of a nearby galaxy, a dark nebula, the rings of a gas giant.
* `[Texture Description]`: hyper-photorealistic, gritty and visceral with visible film grain, impossibly clean and digitally rendered, slightly painterly and artistic.
—
#### **5. Technical Quality & Rendering Keywords**
* **Universal Modifiers:** `[Universal Keywords]`
**Variable Options (use a comma-separated list):**
* `[Universal Keywords]`: cinematic, epic wide angle, masterpiece, 8K, 4K, UHD, photorealistic, hyper-detailed, intricate detail, professional astronomical photography, Hubble Space Telescope aesthetic, Unreal Engine 5 render, VFX, CGI, physically-based rendering, octane render, trending on ArtStation.
—
#### **Final Step: Platform-Specific Adjustments**
* After assembling your prompt, add any necessary platform-specific commands. For example, for a widescreen movie format, you might add `–ar 16:9` or `–ar 21:9` in Midjourney.

### **Example Prompt in Practice**
Here is a complete, ready-to-use prompt generated using the dynamic template above. It aims for a specific, awe-inspiring, and gritty cinematic style.
**(This is one complete prompt, designed to be copied and pasted directly into an AI image generator.)**
**Final Assembled Prompt:**
Cinematic VFX shot of the catastrophic supernova explosion of a massive **Blue Supergiant** star. The scene is an **awe-inspiring** moment of cosmic creation and destruction, viewed from an **epic long shot** that captures the immense scale.
The explosion erupts with a distinct morphology, characterized by **powerful bipolar jets** erupting from the star’s poles, interwoven with **twisting magnetic field lines** made visible by glowing plasma. The core of the explosion radiates **blindingly intense, pure white-hot** light, casting dramatic god-rays and causing **cinematic anamorphic lens flares** across the frame. A rapidly expanding shockwave of **shimmering and translucent** plasma is visible, distorting the space behind it. Billions of tons of stellar material are ejected outwards as **superheated plasma filaments** and **glowing cosmic dust clouds**, catching the light in intricate ways.
The scene is dominated by a **high-contrast** color palette of **deep cosmic indigo and solar orange**. Accents of **electric blue** highlight the most energetic and volatile regions of the jets. The atmosphere is **majestic and awe-inspiring**, emphasizing the raw power and silent violence of space.
The shot is in the style of a major motion picture, visually inspired by the aesthetic of films like **Denis Villeneuve’s *Dune* and Christopher Nolan’s *Interstellar***. The composition follows the rule of thirds, with the **silhouetted, cracked surface of a barren moon in the foreground** being dwarfed by the explosion. The background consists of a **dense field of distant stars**. The visual texture is **hyper-photorealistic and gritty with visible film grain**, aiming for a look that feels both spectacular and grounded.
**masterpiece, cinematic, 8K, UHD, photorealistic, hyper-detailed, intricate detail, professional astronomical photography, VFX, CGI, physically-based rendering, Unreal Engine 5 render, epic wide angle.**
**(Optional Platform Suffix):** `–ar 16:9`
