### **The Dynamic AI Prompt Template for Meteor Impact Crater VFX**
This template is designed to be modular and dynamic. You can mix and match components, adjust the level of detail, and substitute the bracketed `[variables]` with your specific creative choices. The structure guides you from the core concept to the finest stylistic details, ensuring a rich and controllable output.
—
#### **Instructions for Use:**
1. **Start with the Core Concept:** Define the fundamental elements of your scene.
2. **Fill in the Variables:** Replace each `[variable]` with your desired description. You can choose from the suggested options or create your own.
3. **Adjust Detail Level:** For a simpler prompt, you can remove entire sections (e.g., Section 3 if you only care about the initial blast). For a more complex prompt, add more descriptive adjectives to each variable.
4. **Combine and Generate:** Copy and paste the completed sections into a single paragraph for the AI platform. Natural language models work best with cohesive, descriptive text.

### **Section 1: Core Concept & Scene Foundation**
* **Primary Subject:** A cataclysmic, ultra-detailed VFX shot of a meteor impact explosion.
* **Impact Location:** The impact occurs in/on a `[Terrain Type, e.g., arid desert, dense jungle, frozen tundra, deep ocean surface, futuristic megacity, alien crystalline landscape]`.
* **Time & Weather:** The event takes place during `[Time of Day, e.g., the harsh light of midday, the golden hour of sunset, deep night, an eerie twilight]` under `[Weather Conditions, e.g., clear skies, a raging thunderstorm, a blinding blizzard, an otherworldly aurora]`.
### **Section 2: The Impact Event (The Explosion FX)**
* **Initial Blast & Flash:** The moment of impact creates an incandescent, blinding flash of `[Color of Light, e.g., pure white, electric blue, sickly green, searing plasma orange]` light, which casts stark, dramatic shadows across the landscape.
* **Ejecta & Debris:** The explosion hurls a colossal plume of `[Type of Debris, e.g., vaporized rock, molten earth, shattered ice shards, twisted metal from buildings, glowing alien minerals]` and superheated gas thousands of feet into the atmosphere. Describe the debris texture as `[Debris Texture, e.g., sharp and jagged, molten and fluid, powdery and dusty, crystalline and geometric]`.
* **Shockwave:** A visible, ground-hugging `[Shockwave Appearance, e.g., shimmering distortion wave, transparent ripple in the air, colossal ring of dust and vapor]` expands outwards from the epicenter, `[Effect of Shockwave, e.g., flattening trees, shattering structures, kicking up a wall of dust, boiling the surface of water]`.
* **Fireball & Plume:** In the center of the blast, a `[Shape of Fireball, e.g., rapidly expanding spherical, turbulent and chaotic, rising mushroom cloud]` fireball burns with intense energy. The smoke plume is thick and `[Smoke Color and Texture, e.g., oily black and billowing, ashen grey and thick, glowing with internal embers, tinged with unnatural purple hues]`.
### **Section 3: The Aftermath & Crater Details**
* **Crater Characteristics:** The resulting crater is `[Crater Size, e.g., immense and miles-wide, a deep and focused pit, a sprawling network of fractures]`. The inner walls are `[Crater Wall Texture, e.g., terraced and collapsing, sheer and glassy from heat, rugged and fractured]`.
* **Crater Interior:** The crater floor is a hellscape of `[Crater Floor Description, e.g., a glowing lake of molten lava, a steaming pit of superheated rock, covered in strange energy tendrils, rapidly filling with water]`.
* **Lingering Effects:** The air is thick with `[Atmospheric Debris, e.g., falling ash, lingering radioactive dust, sparkling energy particles, a choking haze]`, creating a sense of apocalyptic aftermath.
### **Section 4: Composition & Cinematic Style**
* **Camera Shot & Angle:** The scene is captured from a `[Camera Angle, e.g., dramatic low-angle shot, epic high-angle aerial view, ground-level eyewitness perspective, dynamic drone follow-cam]`, emphasizing the `[Desired Feeling, e.g., terrifying scale, raw power, chaotic beauty, utter devastation]` of the event.
* **Lighting:** The primary light source is the cataclysmic explosion itself. The lighting is `[Lighting Style, e.g., high-contrast chiaroscuro, volumetric with god rays piercing the smoke, surreal and glowing, harsh and unforgiving]`.
* **Color Palette:** The overall color grade is `[Color Scheme, e.g., cinematic teal and orange, desaturated and gritty, vibrantly saturated with cosmic colors, monochromatic with highlights of fiery red]`.
### **Section 5: Quality & Artistic Modifiers**
* **Art Style:** `[Art Style, e.g., Photorealistic, hyper-detailed, cinematic concept art, epic matte painting, Unreal Engine 5 render, octane render]`.
* **Detail Level:** Emphasize extreme detail in textures, particle effects, smoke simulation, and heat distortion. Use terms like: `masterpiece, 8K resolution, intricate detail, professional VFX, physically-based rendering (PBR)`.
* **Keywords for Mood:** `[Mood Keywords, e.g., Awe-inspiring, terrifying, epic, apocalyptic, cosmic horror, sublime, majestic]`.

### **Example Prompt in Practice**
Here is a complete, ready-to-use prompt generated by following the dynamic template above. This example creates a specific, highly detailed sci-fi scene.
**Creative Goal:** To visualize a smaller, energy-based meteor hitting a futuristic city at night during a rainstorm, focusing on the electrical and destructive nature of the impact.
**(Combined and formatted for an AI Platform)**
“**A cataclysmic, ultra-detailed VFX shot of a meteor impact explosion, captured from a dramatic low-angle shot that emphasizes the terrifying scale of the event. The impact occurs in the central plaza of a futuristic megacity defined by towering chrome skyscrapers and holographic advertisements. The event takes place deep at night during a raging thunderstorm, with neon lights reflecting off the rain-slicked streets.**
**The moment of impact creates an incandescent, blinding flash of electric blue and violet light, which casts stark, geometric shadows from the surrounding architecture. The explosion hurls a colossal plume of twisted metal, shattered ferroconcrete, and vaporized asphalt thousands of feet into the atmosphere. The debris is sharp and jagged, glowing with residual energy.**
**A visible, shimmering distortion wave of pure energy expands outwards from the epicenter, shattering the glass facades of nearby skyscrapers and kicking up a wall of steam and electrified rain. In the center of the blast, a turbulent and chaotic spherical fireball of raw plasma burns, laced with crackling lightning tendrils. The smoke plume is oily black and billowing, tinged with unnatural purple hues from the alien composition of the meteor.**
**The resulting crater is a deep and focused pit, its inner walls sheer and glassy from the intense heat. The crater floor is a chaotic mess of glowing, molten infrastructure and exposed power conduits that spark violently. The air is thick with falling ash and sparkling energy particles, creating a sense of apocalyptic, cyberpunk aftermath.**
**The overall aesthetic is photorealistic cinematic concept art, rendered with the quality of an Unreal Engine 5 cinematic. The lighting is high-contrast chiaroscuro, with the volumetric plasma light piercing through the thick smoke and rain. The color palette is a cinematic blend of deep blues, vibrant purples, and fiery orange, creating a mood that is both terrifying and awe-inspiring. Emphasize extreme detail in particle effects, electrical arcs, smoke simulation, heat distortion, and rain textures. Masterpiece, 8K resolution, intricate detail, professional VFX.**”
