### **The Dynamic Prompt Template**
**1. Core Concept & Subject**
* **Primary Subject:** A high-fidelity, atmospheric VFX shot of `[Rain Intensity]` on a desolate, post-battle `[Ruin Type]` battlefield. The scene is quiet, devoid of active combat, focusing purely on the environment and the aftermath.
* **Examples for `[Rain Intensity]`:** a gentle, melancholic drizzle; a steady, cleansing downpour; a torrential, wrathful storm; an ethereal, glowing mist.
* **Examples for `[Ruin Type]`:** shattered medieval castle walls; the skeletal husk of a futuristic sci-fi city; crumbling ancient temple grounds; a war-torn industrial complex.
**2. Atmosphere & Mood**
* **Overall Mood:** The atmosphere is `[Primary Mood]` and `[Secondary Mood]`, evoking a sense of `[Emotional Theme]`.
* **Examples for `[Primary Mood]`:** somber, tranquil, eerie, desolate, reflective.
* **Examples for `[Secondary Mood]`:** mournful, peaceful, tense, hopeful.
* **Examples for `[Emotional Theme]`:** the finality of conflict; nature reclaiming the land; a quiet sorrow; the calm after the storm.
**3. Environmental Details & Debris**
* **Key Battlefield Elements:** The ground is littered with `[Debris Type 1]`, `[Debris Type 2]`, and the remnants of `[Debris Type 3]`. In the background, a `[Major Landmark]` stands silently.
* **Examples for Debris:**
* `[Debris Type 1]`: splintered wooden siege engines; the smoking wreckage of advanced mechs; discarded, rusted swords and shields.
* `[Debris Type 2]`: deep, muddy impact craters filled with rainwater; flickering, damaged energy shields; tattered, rain-soaked banners bearing forgotten sigils.
* `[Debris Type 3]`: abandoned fortifications; spent energy cells; colossal bones of a fallen beast.
* **Examples for `[Major Landmark]`:** a broken siege tower against the skyline; the jagged spire of a ruined skyscraper; a toppled divine statue.
**4. VFX – Rain Interaction & Specifics**
* **Rain Characteristics:** The rain is `[Rain Quality]` with `[Droplet Size]` droplets. It has a slight `[Color/Effect]` to it.
* **Environmental Interaction:** The rain creates `[Surface Interaction 1]` on the metallic debris and `[Surface Interaction 2]` in the mud. Puddles are forming, acting as `[Puddle Effect]`. A light `[Atmospheric Effect]` hangs in the air.
* **Examples for `[Rain Quality]`:** crystal clear; muddy and dirty; slightly acidic and steaming; glowing with ethereal energy.
* **Examples for `[Droplet Size]`:** fine, atomized; medium, distinct; large, heavy splattering.
* **Examples for `[Color/Effect]`:** silvery sheen; oily, iridescent quality; faint blue bioluminescence.
* **Examples for Surface Interaction:**
* `[Surface Interaction 1]`: steam rising from superheated metal; water beading on scorched armor plates; small rivulets carving paths through ash.
* `[Surface Interaction 2]`: deep ripples in crater puddles; mud splashing from heavy drops; slowly dissolving propaganda leaflets.
* **Examples for `[Puddle Effect]`:** murky, dark mirrors reflecting the sky; surfaces shimmering with a rainbow sheen from oil; glowing with reflected energy from nearby tech.
* **Examples for `[Atmospheric Effect]`:** thick ground fog; a hazy mist; swirling vapor.
**5. Lighting & Color Palette**
* **Time of Day & Lighting Style:** The scene is lit by `[Light Source]` during `[Time of Day]`, casting `[Shadow Quality]` shadows and creating a strong sense of volumetric light through the rain and mist.
* **Color Palette:** The palette is dominated by `[Primary Colors]`, with stark highlights of `[Accent Color]` coming from `[Accent Source]`. The overall color grading is `[Color Grade Style]`.
* **Examples for `[Light Source]`:** a weak, setting sun behind storm clouds; the cold, pale light of a full moon; the pulsating glow of a damaged power core; occasional flashes of distant lightning.
* **Examples for `[Time of Day]`:** dawn; twilight; dead of night; perpetual overcast gloom.
* **Examples for `[Shadow Quality]`:** long, deep; soft, diffused; sharp, dramatic.
* **Examples for `[Primary Colors]`:** desaturated blues, slate grays, and muddy browns; cold metallic teals and deep purples.
* **Examples for `[Accent Color]`:** piercing crimson; electric blue; sickly toxic green.
* **Examples for `[Accent Source]`:** a warning light on a wrecked vehicle; a magical ember that refuses to be extinguished; a flickering holographic advertisement.

* **Examples for `[Shot Angle]`:** low-angle shot from the ground; high-angle crane shot; dramatic dutch angle.
* **Examples for `[Shot Distance]`:** ultra-wide landscape; medium shot; intimate close-up.
* **Examples for `[Focal Element]`:** a single, fallen helmet filling with rainwater; the vast, ruined cityscape; a tattered flag swaying in the wind.
* **Examples for `[Depth of Field Effect]`:** deep focus with every detail sharp; shallow depth of field, blurring the background into a painterly wash.

### **Example Generated Prompt**
Here is a complete, ready-to-use prompt generated from the dynamic template above. This example is for a futuristic, post-battle urban scene.
**(This would be entered into the AI as a single block of text)**
**Prompt:**
A high-fidelity, atmospheric VFX shot of a steady, cleansing downpour on a desolate, post-battle futuristic sci-fi city battlefield. The scene is quiet, devoid of active combat, focusing purely on the environment and the aftermath. The atmosphere is somber and reflective, evoking a sense of the finality of conflict. The ground is littered with the smoking wreckage of advanced mechs, deep impact craters filled with rainwater, and the remnants of flickering, damaged energy shields. In the background, the jagged spire of a ruined skyscraper stands silently against the twilight sky.
The rain is crystal clear with medium, distinct droplets, possessing a slight oily, iridescent quality. It creates steam rising from superheated metal wreckage and deep ripples in the crater puddles. These puddles act as murky, dark mirrors reflecting the flickering neon signs of the ruined city. A light, hazy mist hangs in the air.
The scene is lit by the pulsating glow of a damaged power core and distant, flickering advertisements during twilight, casting long, deep shadows and creating strong volumetric light through the rain. The color palette is dominated by cold metallic teals and deep purples, with stark highlights of electric blue coming from exposed wiring and the damaged core. The overall color grading is cinematic and desaturated.
This is a low-angle, ultra-wide landscape shot. The camera focus is on the vast, ruined cityscape, creating a deep focus with every rain-slicked detail rendered sharply. The style is gritty photorealism, rendered with hyper-detailed, cinematic quality, as if from a AAA video game cutscene using Unreal Engine 5.
**Negative Prompt:**
`people, soldiers, fighting, combat, action, vehicles in motion, bright sun, clear skies, daytime, clean, undamaged, cartoon, text, UI.`
