How to use these prompts

  1. Open Nano Banana (Google Gemini) or ChatGPT.
  2. If the example starts from an image, upload your own sketch, model screenshot, photo or plan.
  3. Paste the prompt and adjust the materials, light and style words to your project.
  4. Refine in the same chat, e.g. "keep the composition, change to dusk lighting".

About this lesson

Rendering Style is part of Image & Rendering Editing: Restyle existing renderings: illustration, renovation and technical drawing styles. Most of the 4 examples here run the same prompt through both Nano Banana and ChatGPT, so you can compare the two directly.

Prompt · Free prompt

Render my architecture image in a realistic contemporary architectural photography style with an eye-level, frontal viewpoint. Keep the architecture, urban context, paving, trees, benches, and surrounding buildings exactly the same as the original image, with no changes to layout, proportions, or composition. Use soft overcast daylight with diffuse lighting and minimal shadows. Apply a muted, natural color palette dominated by grays, soft browns, and subtle warm interior light visible through glass. Materials should appear realistic and understated—metal mesh, glass, stone paving, and concrete—without added textures or stylization. Include minimal human presence with slight motion blur to suggest everyday activity. Avoid dramatic lighting, cinematic effects, or saturation. The final image should feel calm, documentary, and architecturally precise, like a professional European architectural photograph of a built project.

以人视高度的正面视角,把我的建筑图像渲染成写实的当代建筑摄影风格。建筑、城市环境、铺装、树木、长椅和周边建筑与原图完全一致,布局、比例和构图都不改动。使用柔和的阴天漫射光,阴影极少。采用柔和自然的配色,以灰色、柔和的棕色为主,透过玻璃可见淡淡的暖色室内灯光。材料应真实而低调——金属网、玻璃、石材铺装和混凝土——不额外添加纹理或风格化处理。人物极少,带轻微的动态模糊,暗示日常活动。避免戏剧化光线、电影特效或高饱和度。最终图像应安静、纪实、建筑上精确,像一张专业的欧洲建成项目建筑摄影。
