Prompt Guidelines

The official manual for maximizing output fidelity with DX Builder engines. Master the four pillars of cinematic AI prompting.

1. Subject DNA

Always begin your prompt by defining the subject in extreme detail. Include physical traits, ethnicity, age, attire, and state of being. Avoid abstract concepts when describing humanoids.

GOOD: "A 35-year-old Scandinavian astronaut, wearing a worn, dusty white EVA suit with orange accents, exhausted expression."

BAD: "A spaceman looking sad."

2. Optic & Gear

Direct the engine exactly as a cinematographer would direct the camera crew. Specify the camera model, lens focal length, film stock, and shot composition.

GOOD: "Shot on 35mm film, ARRI Alexa 65, Cooke 50mm lens, extreme close-up, shallow depth of field, f/2.8."

BAD: "High quality, 8k, photorealistic."

3. World & Light

Light shapes the narrative. Specify the time of day, atmospheric conditions, and the exact lighting geometry (e.g., volumetric fog, cinematic rim lighting).

GOOD: "Set in a neon-lit cyberpunk alleyway during heavy rain. Volumetric blue hour lighting filtering through steam grates. High contrast cinematic chiaroscuro."

BAD: "Dark city background."

4. Action & Motion

When utilizing the DX Builder engine, append explicit motion pathways to separate the subject's animation from the camera's physical movement.

GOOD: "[Camera Movement: Slow Dolly In, Crane Up] The astronaut slowly turns their head to the left, gazing in awe as the spaceship enters hyperdrive, background motion blur."

BAD: "Spaceship flying very fast and astronaut looking at it."
