Expert Usage Tips
Adjust the lighting time-of-day by swapping ‘golden hour’ for ‘overcast morning’ to change the mood from warm/inviting to cool/sober.
Incorporate specific furniture brands or styles like ‘mid-century modern’ or ‘Japandi’ to refine the interior aesthetic to your target project.
Change the ’24mm lens’ parameter to ’50mm’ if you want a tighter, more intimate framing of a specific living zone or architectural feature.
Add ‘monochromatic’ to the prompt to force the AI to focus exclusively on texture and shadow, creating a more dramatic, artistic architectural study.
Increase the ‘stylize’ or ‘chaos’ values in your model settings if you want the AI to introduce more unique, avant-garde structural interpretations.
