Matchstick Architectural Models
A technical prompt that creates realistic architectural models built from burnt matchsticks and boxes, including detailed textures like wood grain and glue residue.
Prompt
2x2 grid, 16:9, do this for {argument name="count" default="4 famous landmarks"} in this style: = { <matchstick_model_render> MATERIAL: Burnt matchsticks and matchboxes (charred heads, pale wood, striker strip). FINISH: PVA glue residue, tiny glue globs, slightly misaligned joints. LIGHTING: Bright table lamp with harsh directional shadows (hobbyist photography). </matchstick_model_render> <transformation> - Convert all architectural detail to a lattice of whole and halved matchsticks, with burnt red‑brown match heads forming decorative accents. - Convert surfaces to raw pine wood grain, occasional sulphur bloom, and matte sticker labels from matchboxes. - Convert light to strong, single-source tungsten casting long, defined shadows and catching glossy glue spots. - Background as a sheet of sandpaper with shallow depth-of-field, bokeh catching dust particles. </transformation> rules: no text}
