Prompt Details

Of course. Here is an optimized, dynamic AI prompt template for generating Supernova Explosion VFX, specifically tailored for the “Space Movies” niche and Cosmic FX purposes. This is followed by a practical example.

### **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.**
