### **Example Prompt in Practice**
Here is a complete, ready-to-use prompt created by filling in the template above. This example aims for a serene, mystical, and ancient feeling.
**(VFX Concept Art, Atmospheric Scene, Master Keyframe)**
**A majestic, colossal Tibetan Monastery-style temple floating serenely in the sky.** The architecture features multi-tiered pagoda roofs with elegant, upturned eaves and intricate, carved wooden balconies. The primary materials are ancient, weathered hinoki wood and grey stone, with accents of celestial bronze on the bells and roof ridges. The structure is ancient and overgrown with glowing, bioluminescent moss and vines, with ethereal waterfalls cascading from the edges of the main platform. Magical, glowing Sanskrit runes pulse with a soft, cyan light along the temple’s foundation.
**The temple is anchored above a vast, endless sea of thick, fluffy cumulus clouds** that behave like a calm, static ocean at dawn. Far in the distance, the gentle curve of a giant, ringed planet is visible on the horizon, bathed in the morning light.
**The scene is dominated by a serene and tranquil atmosphere.** The air is filled with shimmering motes of divine light and swirling, cherry-blossom-like petals of pure energy, caught in a gentle ethereal breeze that makes prayer flags flutter. A powerful, soft, warm golden glow emanates from the temple’s core, creating a shimmering heat-haze of immense, peaceful power that envelops the entire structure.
**The primary light source is the soft light of a golden hour sunrise, creating dramatic and high-contrast lighting.** Volumetric, crepuscular rays (god rays) pierce through the cloud layer from below, illuminating the temple’s underside. The dominant color palette consists of warm golds, soft oranges, and pastel pinks, with accent colors of deep indigo in the shadows and vibrant cyan from the glowing runes.
**The image is an epic ultra-wide shot.** The camera is positioned far away and slightly below the temple, emphasizing its grand scale and serene isolation. The main focal point is the highest pagoda tower, which catches the first light of the rising sun.
**The artistic style is a blend of photorealistic matte painting and ethereal fantasy concept art,** influenced by the environmental design of Studio Ghibli and the detail of a WETA Workshop landscape. Rendered with incredible detail as if from Unreal Engine 5. The final image is hyper-detailed, intricate, cinematic, breathtaking, 8K resolution, and in sharp focus.
