### **The Dynamic Prompt Template**

**(Core Scene Description)**
`Cinematic, ultra-detailed Sky FX shot of [Core Action]. The event takes place in the [Atmospheric Conditions] at [Time of Day].`

**(Explosion & Impact Dynamics)**
`The moment of impact is a [Primary Light/Flash], creating a [Explosion Form]. The fireball itself is a roiling mass of [Fireball Color & Texture]. From the epicenter, [Debris & Fragmentation] are violently ejected, leaving behind [Particle Trails & Streaks]. The immediate aftermath produces a [Smoke Plume Shape & Color] that interacts with the [Atmospheric Elements].`

**(Cinematic & Technical Details)**
`The scene is captured with a [Camera Shot & Angle], mimicking a [Lens Type], which introduces [Lens & Atmospheric Effects]. The overall aesthetic is [Artistic Style], with a focus on [Key Visual Emphasis]. The lighting is [Lighting Style], casting dramatic shadows and highlights across the vapor and debris.`

**(Final Quality & Rendering Polish)**
`masterpiece, best quality, 8K, UHD, photorealistic, hyperdetailed, physically-based rendering, Unreal Engine 5, octane render, intricate details, sharp focus.`

* `rapid, pulsating strobe of light`
* `muted, soft flash seen through thick clouds`

**5. `[Explosion Form]` – The shape of the initial detonation.**
* `perfectly spherical shockwave`
* `asymmetrical, violent bursting sphere of energy`
* `directional, cone-shaped blast`
* `complex, fractal-like detonation pattern`
* `annular, ring-shaped flak burst`

**6. `[Fireball Color & Texture]` – The lingering ball of fire.**
* `incandescent oranges, deep reds, and bright yellows`
* `chemical green and purple hues from exotic fuel`
* `searing white plasma with a crackling texture`
* `dirty, fuel-rich fireball with black soot mixed in`
* `brief, gaseous fireball that dissipates instantly`

**7. `[Debris & Fragmentation]` – What is being thrown from the explosion?**
* `a cloud of razor-sharp metallic shrapnel`
* `glowing, molten embers and incandescent sparks`
* `large, identifiable fragments of the missile fuselage`
* `a fine mist of vaporized metal`
* `cascading, firework-like particles`

**8. `[Particle Trails & Streaks]` – The paths left by debris and energy.**
* `long, fading smoke trails from each piece of shrapnel`
* `brilliant, phosphorescent light streaks`
* `short, sharp sparks like a welder’s arc`
* `delicate, wispy contrails that curl in the wind`
* `no trails, just a clean burst`

**9. `[Smoke Plume Shape & Color]` – The smoke left behind.**
* `a dense, puffy cloud of greasy black smoke`
* `a rapidly expanding ring of clean white vapor`
* `a thin, twisting column of greyish-brown smoke`
* `a lingering, ethereal haze of dissipating white smoke`
* `two distinct smoke trails from the interceptor and target, now tangled together`

**10. `[Atmospheric Elements]` – How does the effect interact with the environment?**
* `air, causing a visible ripple-like shockwave to expand outwards`
* `surrounding clouds, illuminating them from within`
* `raindrops, creating a shimmering, sizzling effect`
* `high-altitude ice crystals, forming a momentary halo`
* `wind shear, which immediately begins to tear the smoke plume apart`

### **Example Prompt in Practice**

Here is a complete, ready-to-use prompt generated by filling in the dynamic template above. This example aims to create a dramatic, high-altitude nighttime interception.

**(Prompt ready to be copied and pasted)**

`Cinematic, ultra-detailed Sky FX shot of a modern anti-air missile precisely intercepts a hostile cruise missile. The event takes place in the crystal-clear, high-altitude sky at pitch-black night sky, illuminated only by the explosion.`

`The moment of impact is a blinding, brilliant white-hot flash, creating an asymmetrical, violent bursting sphere of energy. The fireball itself is a roiling mass of incandescent oranges, deep reds, and bright yellows. From the epicenter, a cloud of razor-sharp metallic shrapnel are violently ejected, leaving behind brilliant, phosphorescent light streaks. The immediate aftermath produces a rapidly expanding ring of clean white vapor that interacts with the high-altitude ice crystals, forming a momentary halo.`

`The scene is captured with an extreme long shot, ground-based view looking up, mimicking a high-powered telephoto lens, creating heat distortion and atmospheric compression, which introduces dramatic lens flare and light bloom. The overall aesthetic is gritty photorealism, with a focus on the overwhelming brightness and scale of the initial flash. The lighting is self-illuminated by the explosion itself, creating stark contrast against the star-filled background.`
