### **Breakdown and Explanation of Dynamic Components**

This section explains each `[VARIABLE]` in the template, providing you with the knowledge to customize it effectively for realistic ballistics.

* **`[CALIBER]`**: Specify the bullet type. This implies energy, size, and effect.
* **Examples:** `7.62x51mm NATO`, `.338 Lapua Magnum`, `.50 BMG anti-materiel`, `14.5mm armor-piercing incendiary`

* **`[TARGET_MATERIAL]`**: The most critical variable. Different materials react in vastly different ways. Be specific.
* **Examples:** `weathered reinforced concrete`, `cold-rolled steel plate`, `laminated ballistic glass`, `gelatin block`, `water-filled barrel`, `dense oak wood`, `ceramic armor plate`

* **`[OBJECT_DESCRIPTION]`**: What is being hit? This provides context.
* **Examples:** `a crumbling support pillar`, `the engine block of a technical truck`, `a sniper’s periscope`, `a thick, rain-soaked tree trunk`, `a section of railway track`

* **`[ENVIRONMENT_SETTING]`**: Where is this taking place? This affects lighting and debris.
* **Examples:** `a desolate desert at dawn`, `a rain-swept urban alley at night`, `a snowy mountain pass`, `a humid jungle clearing`

* **`[MOOD/TONE]`**: The overall feeling of the shot.
* **Examples:** `tense and gritty`, `sterile and technical`, `chaotic and violent`, `cold and unforgiving`

* **`[PRIMARY_EFFECT_1]`, `[PRIMARY_EFFECT_2]`, `[PRIMARY_EFFECT_3]`**: Describe the immediate physical reaction of the material.
* **For Concrete:** `violent conical spalling`, `pulverized dust cloud`, `fracturing rebar`
* **For Steel:** `incandescent shower of sparks`, `molten metal splash (spall)`, `petaling exit hole`
* **For Glass:** `intricate radial and concentric fractures`, `a blizzard of tiny sharp fragments`, `powdery glass dust`
* **For Wood:** `a violent explosion of long splinters`, `cellulose fiber separation`, `plume of wood dust`

* **`[DEBRIS_TYPE]`**: The specific nature of the ejected matter.
* **Examples:** `sharp-edged concrete fragments`, `glowing hot metal shards`, `jagged splinters of wood`, `crystalline shards of glass`

* **`[EJECTA_PATTERN]`**: The shape of the debris field.
* **Examples:** `conical back-blast`, `directional spray`, `radial explosion`, `plume-like cloud`

* **`[DEBRIS_DETAIL]`**: Add a micro-detail to sell the realism.
* **Examples:** `reflecting the ambient light`, `trailing thin wisps of smoke`, `covered in fine dust`

* **`[PARTICULATE_MATTER]`**: The fine, dust-like material.
* **Examples:** `fine concrete powder`, `acrid smoke`, `vaporized lead`, `wood pulp dust`

* **`[BULLET_STATE]`**: What is the bullet doing?
* **Examples:** `deforming and mushrooming`, `fragmenting into pieces`, `tumbling end over end`, `cleanly penetrating`

* **`[BULLET_VISIBILITY]`**: How much of the bullet do we see?
* **Examples:** `partially embedded in the material`, `just the copper jacket visible`, `a streaking motion trail with the bullet itself unseen`, `fully visible and captured in perfect clarity`

* **`[ATMOSPHERIC_EFFECT]`**: The air’s reaction to the supersonic projectile.
* **Examples:** `supersonic shockwave cone (vapor cone)`, `heat shimmer distortion`, `parting of rain droplets`

* **`[LENS_TYPE]`**: Influences the feel and distortion of the shot.
* **Examples:** `anamorphic lens`, `macro lens`, `telephoto lens`

* **`[FOCAL_LENGTH]`**: Technical detail for the camera setup.
* **Examples:** `100mm macro`, `200mm telephoto`

* **`[DEPTH_OF_FIELD_EFFECT]`**: How much of the image is in focus?
* **Examples:** `extremely shallow depth of field`, `deep depth of field`, `creamy cinematic bokeh in the background`

* **`[FOCUS_POINT]`**: The exact point of sharpest clarity.
* **Examples:** `the leading edge of the impact crater`, `the deforming bullet tip`, `a single shard of flying debris`

* **`[SHUTTER_SPEED_EFFECT]`**: The result of the high-speed photography.
* **Examples:** `perfectly frozen motion with zero blur`, `subtle motion trails on the fastest particles`

* **`[LIGHT_SOURCE_DESCRIPTION]`**: The source and quality of the light.
* **Examples:** `the harsh, low sun of a desert morning`, `cold, sterile fluorescent lights`, `a single, overhanging sodium lamp in a dark alley`, `dappled sunlight through a jungle canopy`

* **`[LIGHTING_EFFECTS_AND_SHADOWS]`**: How the light interacts with the scene.
* **Examples:** `hard-edged shadows and bright specular highlights`, `soft, diffused light with gentle falloff`, `caustic light patterns reflecting off debris`

* **`[COLOR_PALETTE]`**: The dominant colors of the image.
* **Examples:** `monochromatic tones of grey and white`, `a desaturated, gritty palette of browns and ochres`, `cold blues and stark whites`, `a high-contrast mix of warm orange sparks and cool blue ambient light`

* **`[EMOTIONAL_IMPACT]`**: The feeling conveyed by the colors.
* **Examples:** `clinical detachment`, `sudden violence`, `gritty realism`

### **Example Prompt in Practice**

Here is a complete, ready-to-use prompt created by filling in the dynamic template for a specific, high-impact scenario.

“`
/imagine prompt:

**Primary Subject:** Photorealistic VFX frame, ultra high-speed cinematic shot of a .50 BMG anti-materiel sniper bullet impacting a cold-rolled steel plate.

**Scene Context:** The impact occurs on the armored door of a derelict transport truck located in a rain-swept urban alley at night. The overall atmosphere is tense and gritty.

**Impact Physics & Primary Effects:** The exact moment of impact is frozen in time, generating a blindingly bright shower of incandescent sparks, a splash of molten steel spall, and a petaling exit hole on the far side of the plate. The steel shows realistic ductile failure, bulging and tearing around the point of penetration.

**Debris & Ejecta:** A spray of glowing hot metal shards is ejected from the impact crater in a conical back-blast. Individual fragments are captured with extreme clarity, trailing thin wisps of smoke and vaporized metal. A cloud of acrid smoke and ionized particles hangs in the air around the impact zone.

**Bullet Visualization:** The fragmenting tungsten-core projectile is partially visible as it passes through the steel. A visible supersonic shockwave cone (vapor cone) trails the projectile, parting the falling raindrops around its flight path.

**Cinematography & Framing:** Extreme close-up, macro photography perspective. The shot is framed using an anamorphic lens with a 100mm macro focal length, creating an extremely shallow depth of field with creamy cinematic bokeh from distant neon signs. The focus is sharply on the leading edge of the impact crater where the steel is tearing apart. The motion is captured as if filmed with a phantom high-speed camera at 20,000 fps, resulting in perfectly frozen motion with zero blur.

**Lighting & Color Palette:** The scene is lit by the harsh, cold white light of a nearby streetlamp, creating hard-edged shadows, and is punctuated by the brilliant, hot orange-white flash of the impact itself. The lighting model is dramatic and cinematic, creating bright specular highlights on the wet metal and individual raindrops. The color palette is dominated by a high-contrast mix of warm orange sparks against a cool, desaturated blue and grey urban background, creating a feeling of sudden, violent energy. High Dynamic Range (HDR) is evident.

**Style & Render Quality:** Hyper-realistic, physically-based rendering (PBR), detailed to the micron level. Rendered in Unreal Engine 5 / Octane Render. The image has the quality of a RAW photo, 8K resolution, with perfect texture detail, ray tracing, and global illumination. No motion blur.

**Negative Prompts:**
–no blurry, cartoon, cgi, video game, low resolution, watermark, text, signature, oversaturated, deformed, unrealistic physics
