### **Optimized AI Prompt Template: The VEO 3 Dynamic Ground FX System**
This template is designed to be a modular and dynamic tool. You will replace the bracketed `[text]` placeholders with your specific choices to create a unique and highly detailed prompt.
#### **Understanding the VEO 3 Framework**
* **V (Vision):** This section sets the overall scene, mood, and artistic direction. It’s the “big picture” that defines the camera, lighting, and style.
* **E (Elements):** This section details the specific subjects in the scene—the “nouns.” It describes the tank, the environment, and the atmospheric conditions with precision.
* **O (Outcome & FX):** This is the core of the prompt for Ground FX purposes. It describes the action—the “verb”—and, most importantly, the physical consequences of that action on the ground and surrounding environment.

### **[V] VISION & CINEMATOGRAPHY**
**(This section sets the overall artistic and technical tone of the image.)**
**Core Vision:**
A hyper-realistic, gritty, and cinematic action photograph of a modern tank in motion. The image should feel visceral and impactful, captured with an extremely high-speed cinematic camera, emphasizing motion blur, particle effects, and texture.
**Camera & Composition:**
* **Shot Type:** `[Example: Dynamic low-angle tracking shot, eye-level with the tank’s treads, wide-angle establishing shot, drone-level top-down view]`
* **Focal Length/Lens:** `[Example: Shot on a 35mm lens, telephoto lens with shallow depth of field, anamorphic lens with cinematic flare]`
* **Focus:** `[Example: Razor-sharp focus on the churning mud and tank treads, soft focus on the background, deep focus with entire scene in clarity]`
**Lighting & Color:**
* **Lighting Style:** `[Example: Harsh, dramatic midday sun casting long shadows, overcast and diffused morning light, dramatic volumetric light from a nearby explosion, golden hour backlighting illuminating dust particles]`
* **Color Palette:** `[Example: Desaturated and bleak with muddy browns and olive drabs, high-contrast monochrome, cinematic teal and orange color grading, stark and cold blue tones]`
* **Artistic Style:** `[Example: Photorealistic, Unreal Engine 5 render, cinematic concept art, style of a modern war photographer, gritty documentary footage still]`

### **[E] ELEMENTS & ENVIRONMENT**
**(This section defines the specific subjects and the world they inhabit.)**
**Primary Subject: The Tank**
* **Tank Model:** `[Example: M1A2 Abrams, T-90M, Leopard 2A7, Challenger 3, Merkava Mk. 4]`
* **Tank Condition:** `[Example: Battle-worn with scratched paint and carbon scoring, covered in reactive armor blocks, heavily caked in thick mud and grime, streaked with rain, pristine and new]`
* **Tank Details:** `[Example: Antennas whipping in the wind, stowage gear rattling on the hull, glowing thermal optics, turret traversing]`
**Environment: The Battlefield**
* **Terrain Type:** `[Example: A war-torn urban street littered with rubble, a soggy and churned-up European farmland, an arid Middle-Eastern desert with sand dunes, a dense and muddy jungle track, a frozen Siberian tundra]`
* **Ground Details:** `[Example: Shattered asphalt and concrete rebar, deep muddy puddles reflecting the grey sky, loose gravel and scorched earth, cracked dry riverbed, snow-covered permafrost]`
* **Background Elements:** `[Example: Ruined multi-story buildings, distant burning vehicles, a line of sparse, shell-stripped trees, low stone walls, smoke-filled horizon]`
**Atmosphere & Weather:**
* **Weather Conditions:** `[Example: Driving heavy rain, dense morning fog obscuring visibility, a blinding sandstorm, gently falling snow, clear and crisp air]`
* **Atmospheric Effects:** `[Example: Heat haze shimmering above the tank’s engine, thick black smoke billowing in the background, swirling dust motes caught in sunbeams, mist clinging to the ground]`

### **[O] OUTCOME & GROUND FX**
**(This is the most critical section for your request. It details the interaction between the tank and the ground.)**
**Primary Action:**
* **Tank Action:** `[Example: Plowing forward at high speed, executing a sharp power slide turn, braking hard and digging into the ground, climbing a steep earthen berm, firing its main cannon causing the hull to rock back]`
**Ground Interaction & Particle FX:**
* **Track Interaction:** `[Example: The tracks violently churn the ground, kicking up a massive rooster tail of mud and debris; The immense weight crushes loose concrete into fine powder; Deep, perfectly defined ruts are carved into the soft earth; Individual track grousers bite into the asphalt, leaving distinct marks]`
* **Displacement FX:** `[Example: A large puddle of water explodes outwards in a spectacular splash; Clumps of wet soil and grass are thrown high into the air; Loose gravel and small rocks are sprayed away from the tracks like shrapnel; The ground visibly vibrates and ripples from the tank’s passage]`
* **Weather-Related FX:** `[Example: Thick, viscous mud clings to the treads and is flung off in heavy arcs; Rainwater is atomized into a fine mist as it hits the hot armor; Dry sand billows into an opaque cloud, completely enveloping the rear of the tank; Snow is compacted into ice under the tracks and kicked up as a powdery spray]`
**Secondary & Weapon FX:**
* **Weapon System Effect (if applicable):** `[Example: The main cannon fires with a blinding orange muzzle flash, creating a powerful concussive shockwave that kicks up a ring of dust from the ground; A nearby IED detonates, erupting in a shower of earth, rock, and shrapnel; Hot brass from the coaxial machine gun ejects and lands sizzling in a puddle]`
* **Environmental Debris:** `[Example: The tank smashes through a brick wall, sending a cascade of bricks and mortar dust into the air; Barbed wire is caught in the tracks and dragged along, scraping against the ground; A small tree is splintered and thrown aside]`

### **Best Practices for Use**
1. **Be Specific:** The more specific your choices for the `[placeholders]`, the better the AI will understand your vision. Instead of “tank,” say “battle-worn M1A2 Abrams with TUSK II armor.”
2. **Combine & Create:** Mix and match elements. A tank in the snow is common, but a tank plowing through a muddy, rain-soaked desert after a flash flood is unique and visually interesting.
3. **Use Negative Prompts:** On platforms that support them, add a negative prompt to exclude unwanted elements. For example: `negative prompt: clean, static, cartoon, video game, illustration, blurry, out of focus, peaceful, undamaged`.
4. **Iterate:** Generate a few images with your prompt. If the ground FX isn’t dramatic enough, strengthen the language in the “Outcome & FX” section. Use words like “violent,” “explosive,” “cascading,” “shattering.”

### **Example Prompt in Practice**
Here is a complete, ready-to-use prompt generated from the template above.
**(V) VISION:**
A hyper-realistic, gritty, and cinematic action photograph. The image feels visceral, captured with an extremely high-speed cinematic camera. Dynamic low-angle tracking shot, eye-level with the tank’s treads, shot on a 35mm lens with razor-sharp focus on the churning mud. The lighting is overcast and diffused morning light, creating a bleak and desaturated color palette of muddy browns and olive drabs. Photorealistic, Unreal Engine 5 render quality.
**(E) ELEMENTS:**
The primary subject is a battle-worn British Challenger 3 main battle tank, heavily caked in thick, wet mud and grime, with stowage gear rattling on the hull. It is on a war-torn battlefield in a soggy and churned-up European farmland. The ground is a sea of deep muddy puddles and scorched earth, with shattered low stone walls in the background under a smoke-filled horizon. The weather is a driving heavy rain, with mist clinging to the ground.
**(O) OUTCOME & FX:**
The tank is plowing forward at high speed directly through a large, deep puddle. The tracks violently churn the ground, kicking up a massive, explosive rooster tail of muddy water, grass, and dark soil. The immense weight of the tank shatters the puddle’s surface, sending a spectacular splash high into the air. Water is atomized into a fine mist around the vehicle. Clumps of wet soil are thrown high, and deep, perfectly defined ruts are carved into the soft earth beneath the water. The water sheets off the tank’s angled frontal armor in thick streams.
**(Modifiers & Negative Prompt):**
**Parameters:** cinematic, hyperdetailed, 8k, photorealistic, motion blur, particle effects, high shutter speed photography
**Negative Prompt:** clean, static, cartoon, video game, illustration, blurry, undamaged, peaceful, dry ground
