### **Optimized Dynamic AI Prompt for an Asteroid Belt Flythrough**
**Design Philosophy:** This prompt is structured as a dynamic template. The sections in `[brackets]` are variables you can modify to dramatically alter the output. By combining different options, you can generate a virtually infinite variety of asteroid belt scenes. The detailed, descriptive language is designed to be universally understood by image, video, and 3D generation AI models, focusing on the visual outcome rather than platform-specific commands.

#### **I. Core Scene Foundation (The Unchanging Context)**
Start your prompt with this core description to establish the fundamental elements of the scene.
`Create a photorealistic, ultra-detailed, 3D space simulation VFX sequence depicting a dynamic flythrough of an asteroid belt. The scene must convey a vast sense of scale, depth, and astronomical accuracy. Focus on the interplay of light, shadow, and motion to create a cinematic and immersive experience.`

#### **II. Dynamic Variables (Customize Your Scene Here)**
Select and fill in the details for each category below to tailor the scene to your specific vision.
**1. [Point of View & Camera Motion]**
* **Description:** This defines how the viewer experiences the flythrough. Is it from a cockpit? A chase camera? A documentary-style drone?
* **Prompt Segment:** `The camera perspective is [CHOOSE ONE: a first-person view from inside a starship cockpit, showing instrument glints and the canopy frame; a third-person chase-cam view, following a small scout ship as it navigates the field; a smooth, stabilized drone shot gliding majestically through the asteroids; a shaky, handheld “found footage” style camera conveying danger]. The camera moves with [CHOOSE ONE: a slow, awe-inspiring drift; a swift, high-speed glide; a series of urgent, evasive maneuvers with sharp turns; a steady, constant forward velocity]. Incorporate subtle [CHOOSE ONE: lens flares from the primary light source, cinematic depth of field with foreground asteroids blurred, minor camera shake on asteroid impacts/near-misses, anamorphic lens distortion on the edges].`
**2. [Asteroid Field Characteristics]**
* **Description:** This details the physical nature of the asteroid belt itself. Is it dense and chaotic or sparse and ancient?
* **Prompt Segment:** `The asteroid field is [CHOOSE ONE: densely packed and chaotic, with frequent collisions and debris trails; sparse and ancient, with massive, slow-turning planetoids; a young, dusty protoplanetary disk with smaller, sharper fragments; a ring system around a gas giant, composed of icy and rocky bodies]. The asteroids vary in size from [CHOOSE ONE: fine dust and gravel to massive, city-sized behemoths; small, car-sized rocks to kilometer-wide irregular chunks; consistently medium-sized, sharp-edged shards].`
**3. [Asteroid Composition & Texture]**
* **Description:** Define the look and feel of the asteroids. Are they metallic, rocky, or icy? This heavily influences lighting and color.
* **Prompt Segment:** `The asteroids are primarily composed of [CHOOSE ONE: dark, carbonaceous C-type material, with deep craters and a matte, non-reflective surface; highly reflective, metallic M-type iron-nickel, showing surface stress fractures and gleaming highlights; porous, rocky S-type silicate material with varied albedo and regolith dust; icy cometary fragments, actively sublimating gas and dust, creating glowing comas and tails]. The surface textures are extremely detailed, showcasing [CHOOSE ONE: pockmarked craters, sharp crystalline structures, smooth regolith dust coverings, deep fissures glowing with internal heat].`
**4. [Primary Lighting Source & Atmosphere]**
* **Description:** The light source is the most critical element for setting the mood and color palette.
* **Prompt Segment:** `The primary light source is a [CHOOSE ONE: brilliant, nearby yellow G-type star, casting harsh, defined shadows and warm highlights; a distant, searing blue O-type supergiant, creating a high-contrast scene with cool, blue-white light and deep black shadows; the ethereal glow from a vibrant, multi-colored nebula (pinks, purples, cyans), providing soft, volumetric, and diffuse lighting; the accretion disk of a distant black hole, casting an eerie, gravitationally-lensed light]. The light interacts with the environment, creating [CHOOSE ONE: volumetric dust motes catching the light, god rays streaming past large asteroids, specular highlights on metallic surfaces, soft shadows that wrap around cratered objects].`
**5. [Background & Environment]**
* **Description:** What is visible in the vast distance beyond the asteroid belt?
* **Prompt Segment:** `In the deep space background, there is a [CHOOSE ONE: breathtaking view of the Milky Way’s galactic core; the swirling rings of a colossal Saturn-like gas giant; a distant, vibrant supernova remnant nebula; an empty, terrifyingly deep void of absolute blackness].`
**6. [Artistic Style & Technical Specs]**
* **Description:** Define the final look and technical parameters for the output.
* **Prompt Segment:** `The overall artistic style is [CHOOSE ONE: hyperrealistic scientific visualization, akin to a NASA simulation; dark, gritty, and cinematic, in the style of “The Expanse” or “Blade Runner”; epic and awe-inspiring, like a scene from “Interstellar”; a clean, high-fidelity video game cinematic]. The final output should be rendered in [CHOOSE ONE: stunning 4K resolution, 8K ultra-HD, 1080p HD] with an aspect ratio of [CHOOSE ONE: 16:9 widescreen, 2.39:1 anamorphic cinematic]. Ensure high dynamic range (HDR) with deep blacks and brilliant highlights.`
**7. [Elements to Avoid]**
* **Description:** Use this to guide the AI away from common misinterpretations.
* **Prompt Segment:** `Avoid any visible aliens, fantasy elements, unrealistic physics (like sound in space or fiery explosions), or overly cartoony aesthetics. The focus is on plausible, grounded science fiction.`

### **Example Prompt: “The Kuiper Anomaly”**
This example prompt is generated by selecting and combining specific options from the dynamic template above to create a single, cohesive request.
**(Core + Dynamic Selections Combined)**
Create a photorealistic, ultra-detailed, 3D space simulation VFX sequence depicting a dynamic flythrough of an asteroid belt. The scene must convey a vast sense of scale, depth, and astronomical accuracy. Focus on the interplay of light, shadow, and motion to create a cinematic and immersive experience.
The camera perspective is a **smooth, stabilized drone shot gliding majestically through the asteroids**. The camera moves with **a slow, awe-inspiring drift**. Incorporate subtle **cinematic depth of field with foreground asteroids blurred** to emphasize the immense scale.
The asteroid field is **sparse and ancient, with massive, slow-turning planetoids**. The asteroids vary in size from **fine dust and gravel to massive, city-sized behemoths**. The asteroids are primarily composed of **icy cometary fragments, actively sublimating gas and dust, creating glowing comas and tails**. The surface textures are extremely detailed, showcasing **pockmarked craters** and **deep fissures glowing with internal heat** from tidal forces.
The primary light source is the **ethereal glow from a vibrant, multi-colored nebula (pinks, purples, cyans), providing soft, volumetric, and diffuse lighting**. The light interacts with the environment, creating **volumetric dust motes catching the light** and **god rays streaming past large asteroids**. In the deep space background, there is a **breathtaking view of the Milky Way’s galactic core**.
The overall artistic style is **epic and awe-inspiring, like a scene from “Interstellar”**. The final output should be rendered in **stunning 4K resolution** with an aspect ratio of **2.39:1 anamorphic cinematic**. Ensure high dynamic range (HDR) with deep blacks and brilliant highlights.
