### **Optimized Dynamic AI Prompt for Ink Splash VFX & Fluid Dynamics**
This prompt template is structured as a modular framework. You can mix and match elements from each category to create a highly specific and controlled output. The goal is to move beyond simple “ink splash” requests and give you precise control over the physics, aesthetics, and context of the visual effect.
#### **How to Use This Template:**
1. **Start with the Core Concept:** Begin by defining the primary subject and action.
2. **Layer in Details:** Add descriptors from the different categories (Fluid Properties, Interaction, Lighting, etc.).
3. **Combine into a Sentence:** String your selected keywords and phrases together into a coherent descriptive paragraph. The more detailed and evocative your language, the better the result.
4. **Iterate:** Don’t be afraid to change one variable at a time (e.g., change only the `[Viscosity]` or `[Lighting Style]`) to see how it affects the outcome.

### **[ THE DYNAMIC PROMPT TEMPLATE ]**
#### **1. Core Subject & Action**
* **Primary Subject:** `[e.g., A single drop, a violent splash, a delicate swirl, colliding streams, an explosion, a subtle ripple]` of `[e.g., ink, paint, liquid metal, cosmic fluid, bioluminescent algae]`.
* **Action & Motion:** Describe the movement. Is it…
* `[e.g., Colliding with a surface, erupting from a point, suspended in mid-air, swirling in zero-gravity, blooming outwards like a flower, collapsing inwards, dispersing like smoke]`.
* **Ink Color & Properties:**
* **Color:** `[e.g., Opaque jet-black India ink, translucent watercolor pigments, iridescent pearlescent white, shimmering gold-flecked crimson, duo-chrome ink shifting from cyan to magenta, nebulae-like cosmic colors]`.
* **Texture/Additives:** `[e.g., with fine glitter particles, containing suspended metallic flakes, having a glossy sheen, matte finish, containing miniature bubbles, with a subtle grainy texture]`.
#### **2. Fluid Properties & Dynamics (The Physics Core)**
* **Viscosity:** How thick is the fluid?
* `[e.g., Extremely low viscosity like water, syrupy and thick with high viscosity, gelatinous and cohesive, oily and slow-moving, non-Newtonian fluid (solidifies on impact)]`.
* **Surface Tension:** How does it hold together?
* `[e.g., High surface tension creating perfect spherical droplets and beads, low surface tension causing it to spread thin, creating delicate web-like tendrils and ligaments, forming cellular patterns (Marangoni effect)]`.
* **Flow & Turbulence:**
* `[e.g., Smooth laminar flow, chaotic and turbulent eddies, swirling vortex, beautiful fractal patterns, wispy and ethereal like smoke, dense and pluming]`.
* **Splash Characteristics:**
* `[e.g., High-velocity impact creating a Worthington jet (central upward column), forming a crown-shaped splash, thousands of tiny atomized particles and mist, long, stringy tendrils reaching outwards, thick, globular splashes]`.
#### **3. Interaction & Surface**
* **Impact Surface:** What is the ink hitting? The material drastically changes the effect.
* `[e.g., a flat sheet of textured watercolor paper, a smooth pane of glass, a rippling water surface, a polished black obsidian slab, an invisible barrier, another liquid, rough concrete, porous fabric absorbing the ink]`.
* **Result of Interaction:**
* `[e.g., creating intricate splash patterns, being absorbed and bleeding into the surface, beading up on a hydrophobic surface, mixing with another color on impact, shattering the surface on impact, wrapping around a 3D object]`.
#### **4. Environment & Lighting**
* **Background:**
* `[e.g., Minimalist white studio background, stark black void, textured canvas, out-of-focus natural environment, industrial warehouse setting, against a softly lit gradient]`.
* **Lighting Style:** This is crucial for defining form and mood.
* `[e.g., Dramatic cinematic lighting, high-key studio lighting, soft backlighting creating a glowing rim light, harsh single-point spotlight, volumetric light rays piercing through the splash, underwater caustics and refraction, UV blacklight causing bioluminescence]`.
#### **5. Artistic Style & Composition**
* **Art Style:**
* `[e.g., Ultra-photorealistic, abstract expressionism, minimalist, Japanese sumi-e style, high-fantasy concept art, sci-fi VFX, graphic novel ink work]`.
* **Composition & Framing:**
* `[e.g., Symmetrical macro shot, dynamic dutch angle, extreme close-up (ECU) focusing on droplet interaction, wide shot showing the scale of the explosion, frozen in time, high-speed photography, motion blur effect, shallow depth of field with beautiful bokeh]`.
#### **6. Technical & Rendering Specifications**
* **Rendering Engine/Quality:**
* `[e.g., Photorealistic, cinematic VFX, Unreal Engine 5 render, Octane render, fluid simulation, particle physics simulation, ray tracing, hyper-detailed, 8K resolution, physically-based rendering (PBR)]`.
* **Camera Details:**
* `[e.g., Macro lens, telephoto lens, cinematic anamorphic lens flare, captured with a Phantom Flex4K high-speed camera]`.
#### **7. Negative Prompts (What to Avoid)**
* **Commonly Used:** `-no blurry, -no ugly, -no deformed, -no text, -no watermark, -no signature, -no UI, -no cartoony, -no simplistic, -no 2D flat`

### **Best Practices Summary:**
* **Specificity is Key:** Instead of “black ink splash,” use “High-velocity impact of jet-black, high-viscosity India ink creating a crown-shaped splash with turbulent, stringy tendrils.”
* **Combine Concepts:** Merge ideas from different categories. What does a “sci-fi, bioluminescent, gelatinous fluid” look like when “colliding with a rippling water surface” under “UV blacklight”?
* **Platform Adaptation:** For platforms like Midjourney or Stable Diffusion, you can add technical parameters at the end (e.g., `–ar 16:9` for aspect ratio, `–style raw` for less stylization, `–chaos 20` for more variation). The core descriptive text remains the same.

### **Example Prompt in Practice**
Here is a complete, assembled prompt created using the template above. This example aims for a visually stunning and physically interesting result.
#### **Title:** The Cosmic Collision
* **Core Concept:** A large, single drop of iridescent, cosmic-colored ink collides with a polished surface.
* **Fluid Dynamics:** The ink has low viscosity but high surface tension, causing it to splash outwards in a perfect crown shape while forming intricate, web-like tendrils.
* **Interaction:** The surface is a flawless, polished black obsidian, creating a perfect reflection of the splash.
* **Lighting:** The scene is backlit by a soft, volumetric light, causing the translucent parts of the ink to glow and creating dramatic rim lighting on the splash tendrils.
* **Style & Composition:** An extreme close-up macro shot, captured with the precision of high-speed photography to freeze the moment of impact. The style is hyper-realistic and cinematic.
#### **Final Assembled Prompt:**
**(Copy and paste this into your AI platform of choice)**
> **Hyper-realistic cinematic VFX shot, extreme close-up using a macro lens. A single, large drop of iridescent, cosmic nebulae-colored ink collides with a perfectly smooth, wet, polished black obsidian surface. The fluid has low viscosity but high surface tension, causing a magnificent and perfectly symmetrical crown-shaped splash frozen in time. Thousands of delicate, glowing, web-like tendrils and ligaments stretch outwards from the impact. The scene is set in a minimalist dark studio and is dramatically backlit with soft, volumetric light rays, creating a glowing, ethereal rim light around the splash and casting subtle caustics onto the reflective surface. Captured with the clarity of high-speed photography, particle physics simulation, ultra-detailed, 8K, physically-based rendering, shallow depth of field. -no blur, -no text, -no watermark, -no cartoony.**
