Prompt Details
### **The Optimized Dynamic AI Prompt Template**
This template is structured to be a comprehensive and modular “master prompt.” You can customize it by filling in the bracketed `[variables]`. The structure follows best practices by starting with the core subject and progressively adding layers of detail, including style, composition, color, and technical parameters. This method helps the AI build a coherent and detailed image.

### **Dynamic Prompt for Light Spectrum Ripple VFX**
**(Core Concept)**
A visually stunning, high-definition [Visual Style & Medium] of a vibrant light spectrum ripple effect. The effect originates from a [Source of Ripple], propagating outwards as a [Ripple Form] across a [Setting / Surface].
**(Ripple Characteristics)**
The ripples are defined by a [Wave Profile], creating a sense of [Energy & Motion]. The waves interact with their environment by [Interaction Effect], adding a layer of dynamic realism. The core of the ripple is a [Focal Point Description], and the trailing edges of the waves [Trailing Effect Description].
**(Spectral & Color Palette)**
The color palette is a brilliant [Spectrum Type], characterized by [Color Behavior]. The overall scene is dominated by [Dominant Hues], but includes subtle undertones of [Accent Colors]. The light itself has a [Light Quality], giving it a unique visual texture.
**(Composition & Framing)**
The shot is a [Shot Type] with a [Lens Type] perspective. The composition is guided by [Compositional Rule], placing the primary focus [Focal Point Placement]. The background is [Background Description], which serves to enhance the main effect without being distracting.
**(Lighting & Atmosphere)**
The primary light source is the [Primary Light Source], casting [Shadow & Highlight Style]. The overall atmosphere is [Atmosphere / Mood], evoking a feeling of [Intended Emotion]. The scene is rendered with [Rendering Quality] and professional [Color Grading Style].
**(Technical Qualifiers & Style Keywords)**
Masterpiece, 8K, ultra-detailed, sharp focus, intricate detail, VFX, motion graphics still, cinematic, professional photography, physically-based rendering (PBR), high dynamic range (HDR). The image should be in a [Aspect Ratio] format.
**(Negative Prompt / Exclusions – Conceptual)**
Avoid: blurry, noisy, low-resolution, flat lighting, muddy colors, simple gradients, generic, pixelated, distorted forms unless specified.

* **Example Choices:** `subtly refracting the background`, `dramatically warping spacetime around it`, `leaving glowing particle trails`, `illuminating unseen dust motes in the air`, `casting complex caustics`.
**8. [Focal Point Description]:** The appearance of the ripple’s origin point.
* **Example Choices:** `a brilliant point of white light`, `a dark, absorptive vortex`, `a complex, glowing geometric shape`, `a subtle, almost invisible disturbance`.
**9. [Trailing Effect Description]:** What happens at the end of the waves.
* **Example Choices:** `dissipate into a fine, sparkling mist`, `break apart into smaller, prismatic particles`, `fade smoothly into the background`, `glitch out of existence`.
**10. [Spectrum Type]:** The nature of the color spectrum.
* **Example Choices:** `a full ROYGBIV rainbow spectrum`, `an iridescent, pearlescent shimmer`, `a neon-drenched cyberpunk palette`, `a pastel holographic glow`, `a solarized, inverted color spectrum`.
**11. [Color Behavior]:** How the colors mix and transition.
* **Example Choices:** `distinct, clean bands of color`, `heavy chromatic aberration on the edges`, `soft, blended gradients`, `oil-slick color shifting`.

The waves interact with their environment by **casting complex caustics** onto the unseen floor below and **subtly refracting the background**. The core of the ripple is a **brilliant point of white light** at the fork’s prongs, and the trailing edges of the waves **dissipate into a fine, sparkling mist** of light particles.
The color palette is a brilliant **pastel holographic glow**, characterized by **heavy chromatic aberration on the edges** of each wave. The overall scene is dominated by **electric cyan and magenta**, but includes subtle undertones of **lime green and soft gold**. The light itself has a **sharp and crystalline** quality, giving it a unique visual texture.
The shot is an **extreme close-up macro shot** with a **telephoto lens with deep depth of field**. The composition is guided by **perfectly centered symmetry**, placing the primary focus **dead center**. The background is a **completely black void**, which serves to enhance the main effect without being distracting.
The primary light source is the **ripple effect itself (emissive lighting)**, casting **soft, diffused shadows and glowing highlights**. The overall atmosphere is **serene and magical**, evoking a feeling of **wonder and awe**.
