### **Optimized Dynamic AI Prompt Template: Asteroid & Debris Collision**
This template is designed to be a modular and powerful tool. The core principle is to break down the scene into its fundamental components, allowing you to easily swap out variables to generate a vast array of unique and high-quality destruction VFX scenes.
**How to Use This Template:**
Fill in the bracketed `[VARIABLE]` sections with your desired descriptions. Use the provided suggestions as a starting point, but feel free to invent your own. The more specific and evocative your language, the more detailed and compelling the AI’s output will be.

#### **The Dynamic Prompt Structure**
**(Scene Descriptor & Core Action)**
A hyper-detailed, cinematic VFX shot capturing a `[Primary Subject: e.g., cataclysmic high-velocity impact, silent fragmentation event, powerful kinetic strike]` within a dense asteroid field.
**(Object A: The Impactor)**
The impactor, `[Object A: Description – e.g., a rogue, jagged iron-core asteroid glowing with residual heat, a large piece of derelict spaceship hull tumbling end-over-end, a swarm of crystalline micrometeoroids]`, is traveling at immense speed. Describe its material, shape, and state: `[Object A Details: e.g., covered in frost, pitted with craters, trailing ionized gas, metallic and reflecting starlight]`.
**(Object B: The Target)**
It collides with `[Object B: Description – e.g., a massive, slow-spinning carbonaceous asteroid, an abandoned orbital satellite with solar panels, an ice-covered moonlet]`. The target’s surface is `[Object B Details: e.g., pockmarked and ancient, geologically complex with deep fissures, smooth and crystalline, metallic and rusting]`.
**(Collision FX & Energy Release – The “Destruction” Core)**
The moment of collision is depicted with `[Collision FX & Energy Release: e.g., a silent, brilliant white flash of vaporized rock and metal, a massive shockwave of pulverized dust erupting outwards, a blinding plasma discharge that illuminates the entire field, a molten core eruption of glowing magma, a brittle crystalline shattering effect with no fire or heat]`. The energy release is `[Energy Descriptor: e.g., violent and chaotic, clean and precise, searingly hot, freezing cold]`.
**(Debris & Ejecta Field)**
The aftermath produces `[Debris & Ejecta Field: e.g., a spiraling cloud of dust and superheated gas, a deadly field of razor-sharp shrapnel flying in all directions, glowing trails of molten slag and liquid metal, a slowly expanding plume of fine, glitter-like ice crystals]`. Individual pieces of debris are `[Debris Details: e.g., catching the light from a nearby star, glowing from their own internal heat, leaving faint trails of vapor behind them]`.
**(Environment & Background)**
The entire event is set against the backdrop of `[Environment & Background: e.g., the deep, empty void of interstellar space, the swirling, colorful gases of a vibrant nebula (specify colors: magenta, cyan, gold), the dense rings of a colossal gas giant, the distant, blinding light of a blue giant star]`.
**(Lighting & Atmosphere)**
The scene is illuminated by `[Lighting Style: e.g., harsh, direct sunlight creating high-contrast, stark shadows; the eerie, diffuse backlighting from a distant nebula; the dramatic, self-illuminating glow of the impact’s energy release; the cold, faint light of a distant white dwarf]`. The overall mood is `[Mood: e.g., terrifying, awe-inspiring, desolate, chaotic, beautiful]`.
**(Camera & Composition)**
The shot is composed as a `[Camera View & Composition: e.g., dynamic, ultra-wide shot capturing the immense scale; an extreme close-up on the fracture point as cracks spread across the surface; a dramatic tracking shot following a large piece of ejected debris; a stabilized, documentary-style shot from a safe distance]`. The camera lens effect is `[Lens Effect: e.g., anamorphic with subtle lens flare, clean and sharp with a deep depth of field, a slight fisheye distortion to emphasize scale]`.
**(Artistic Style & Rendering Quality)**
Rendered in the style of `[Artistic Style & Rendering: e.g., hyperrealistic 8K cinematic VFX, gritty and dark sci-fi concept art, a detailed matte painting, photorealistic astrophotography]`. The final image should have `[Quality Keywords: e.g., insanely detailed, intricate complexity, sharp focus, volumetric lighting, particle effects, ray tracing, Unreal Engine 5, Octane render, masterpiece quality]`.

#### **Best Practices for Implementation**
1. **Be Specific:** Instead of “asteroid hits asteroid,” use “A jagged, iron-rich asteroid impacts a porous, ice-dusted carbonaceous asteroid.” Specificity guides the AI.
2. **Combine Concepts:** Mix and match elements. A metallic debris impact on an ice moonlet creates a unique visual (steam, flash-frozen shrapnel) compared to a rock-on-rock impact.
3. **Keyword Weighting (Advanced):** For platforms like Stable Diffusion or Midjourney (using `::` syntax), you can emphasize key concepts. For example: `(blinding plasma discharge:1.3)` or `cinematic VFX::2`.
4. **Negative Prompts:** Always consider what you *don’t* want to see. This cleans up the final image significantly. A good universal set of negative prompts is provided in the example below.
5. **Iterate:** Generate an image with a completed prompt, then refine it. If the debris field isn’t dramatic enough, change the “Debris & Ejecta Field” section to be more explosive and try again.

### **Example Prompt in Practice**
Here is a complete, ready-to-use prompt generated from the template above.
**(Prompt)**
A hyper-detailed, cinematic VFX shot capturing a **cataclysmic high-velocity impact** within a dense asteroid field.
The impactor, a **large piece of a derelict, rusting spaceship hull tumbling end-over-end**, is traveling at immense speed. Its surface is **metallic and reflecting the cold starlight, with jagged, torn edges from a previous disaster**.
It collides with a **massive, slow-spinning, geologically complex carbonaceous asteroid**. The target’s surface is **pockmarked and ancient, with deep, shadowed fissures**.
The moment of collision is depicted with a **silent, brilliant white flash of vaporized metal and rock at the point of impact, followed by a massive, visible shockwave that cracks the asteroid’s surface like porcelain**. The energy release is **violent and chaotic**.
The aftermath produces a **deadly field of razor-sharp shrapnel and super-heated rock fragments flying in all directions**. Individual pieces of debris are **glowing from their own internal heat and leaving faint trails of vapor behind them**.
The entire event is set against the backdrop of the **swirling, colorful gases of a vibrant nebula, with dominant colors of deep magenta and electric cyan**.
The scene is illuminated by the **dramatic, self-illuminating glow of the impact’s energy release, which casts long, dynamic shadows across all nearby objects**. The overall mood is **awe-inspiring and terrifying**.
The shot is composed as a **dynamic, ultra-wide shot capturing the immense scale of the event**. The camera lens effect is **anamorphic with a subtle blue lens flare streaking from the impact flash**.
Rendered in the style of **hyperrealistic 8K cinematic VFX**. The final image should have **insanely detailed textures, intricate complexity, sharp focus, volumetric lighting from the nebula, immense particle effects, ray tracing reflections on the metal hull, masterpiece quality**.
**(Recommended Negative Prompts for All Platforms)**
`blurry, low-resolution, cartoon, anime, abstract, unrealistic physics, soft focus, oversaturated, watermark, text, signature, artist name, lens flare spam, motion blur, peaceful, calm, symmetrical, generic, boring.`
