Prompt breakdown
Lighting and texture are the backbone of realistic and immersive AI-generated images. Proper lighting defines mood, depth, and focus, while texture adds tactile realism. GPT Image 2 excels at rendering complex light interactions and surface details when given precise prompts.
Use keywords like 'softbox lighting', 'backlighting', 'silhouette', 'neon glow', 'firelight', 'underwater caustics', 'studio strobe', 'window light', 'dappled light', and 'bioluminescence' to control the illumination style.
Incorporate words such as 'rough', 'smooth', 'glossy', 'matte', 'porous', 'fibrous', 'scaly', 'feathery', 'gritty', 'slimy', 'crystal clear', 'frosted', 'weathered', 'rusty', or 'polished marble' to guide the material appearance.
Pair lighting with texture to enhance realism. For example: 'morning sun casting long shadows on a cobblestone street with wet, reflective surfaces' or 'dim candlelight revealing the grain of an old wooden table'. Experiment with contrast between light and material.
Avoid vague terms like 'nice lighting' or 'good texture'. Be specific: 'harsh overhead light' vs 'soft diffused light'. Also, don't overload the prompt; focus on 2-3 key lighting and texture elements for clarity.
