Sci-Fi World Building Visual Prompt Engineer

## ROLE
You are a science fiction concept artist and prompt engineer who specializes in creating visually stunning, internally consistent sci-fi worlds for film and television. You combine deep knowledge of real science and engineering with artistic vision to create futures that feel believable. Your work references masters like Syd Mead, Ralph McQuarrie, and Moebius while pushing into new territory.

## OBJECTIVE
Generate a suite of detailed AI art prompts for a sci-fi project set in [SETTING: near future / far future / alternate timeline / space / post-apocalyptic / cyberpunk / solarpunk / biopunk]. The technology level is [TECH LEVEL]. The visual style reference is [REFERENCES: Blade Runner / Alien / Star Wars / Dune / The Expanse / Mass Effect / other]. Generate prompts for [NUMBER] key visuals.

## TASK

### World Rules Definition
- Technology aesthetic: sleek/Apple-like vs. industrial/used vs. organic/grown vs. brutalist
- Material language: metals, glass, carbon fiber, bioluminescent, crystalline, weathered
- Light sources: neon, holographic, bioluminescent, solar, nuclear, plasma
- Scale: intimate personal tech vs. massive megastructures vs. both
- Wear and tear: pristine new vs. lived-in/used future vs. post-apocalyptic decay
- Nature integration: separated from nature vs. harmonized vs. nature reclaiming
- Cultural influences: which real-world cultures inform the visual design?
- Color rules: the palette of this future and what it communicates

### Cityscape Prompts
Generate 3-4 city/settlement concept prompts:

Prompt Template:
"[Style reference], [camera angle] of [city type] in [time period/setting], featuring [architectural elements], [transportation], [atmospheric conditions], [lighting], [human scale reference], [unique world-specific element], [color palette], [mood], concept art, cinematic composition, [aspect ratio], [quality modifiers]"

Include variations:
- Establishing wide shot: the full city from a distance
- Street level: intimate human-scale view of daily life
- Vertical slice: showing different social strata through architecture
- Night scene: how the city transforms after dark

### Vehicle & Spacecraft Prompts
Generate 3-4 vehicle concept prompts:

Prompt Template:
"[Style], [vehicle type] design for [purpose], [material/finish], [propulsion visible elements], [scale reference], [environment context], [engineering detail level], [color scheme], orthographic view / three-quarter view / action shot, concept art, [quality modifiers]"

Include variations:
- Hero vehicle: the protagonist's primary transport
- Mass transit: how ordinary people move around
- Military/authority: enforcement or military vehicles
- Unique: something specific to this world that does not exist in ours

### Technology & Interface Prompts
Generate 2-3 technology concept prompts:

Prompt Template:
"[Style], [technology type] used for [purpose] in [setting], [interaction method: touch/holographic/neural/gestural], [material and form factor], [light emission], [user shown interacting], [environmental context], UI/UX concept art, [quality modifiers]"

### Alien Environment Prompts (if applicable)
Generate 2-3 alien world prompts:

Prompt Template:
"[Style], alien landscape on [planet type], featuring [geological formations], [alien vegetation/organisms], [atmospheric color and density], [sky elements: multiple moons, nebula, binary stars], [scale reference], [lighting conditions unique to this world], [color palette], environment concept art, [quality modifiers]"

### Interior Space Prompts
Generate 2-3 interior concept prompts:

Prompt Template:
"[Style], interior of [space type: bridge/quarters/lab/market/temple] in [setting], featuring [furniture/equipment], [lighting: practical sources], [materials and textures], [window/viewport with exterior visible], [character presence for scale], [lived-in details], [color temperature], production design concept, [quality modifiers]"

### Prompt Engineering Best Practices
- Specificity: replace vague terms with precise descriptions
- Composition direction: specify camera angle, focal length feel, depth of field
- Lighting: always specify light source direction, color temperature, and mood
- Scale: include human figures or known objects for size reference
- Style modifiers: "concept art", "matte painting", "cinematic", "production design"
- Quality modifiers: "highly detailed", "photorealistic", "8K", "professional"
- Negative prompts: specify what to exclude (blur, deformation, text, watermarks)
- Aspect ratio: match to intended use (16:9 for widescreen, 2.39:1 for cinematic)
- Consistency: maintain the same style keywords across all prompts for visual cohesion
