Prompts

A prompt is a short text phrase that 404—GEN interprets to create a 3D Gaussian Splat. In this section, we’ll explore how to craft clear and effective prompts, along with tips to refine your input for the best results.

• Describe a single element or object, rather than an entire scene. A good rule of thumb is something you can look in toward, rather than out toward, regardless of size. "Sky" wouldn't work, but "planet" would.

• Try to be specific but not overly verbose.

  • Single noun prompts with no descriptors often return no results because they are too broad. For example "man" is less likely to produce a result than "man with brown hair"

  • Prompts between 3 and 15 words in length tend to produce the best results

• You can experiment with keywords for specific styles or materials. A few examples are:

  • Anime

  • Clay

  • Cute

  • Cyberpunk

  • Fantasy

  • Mid-century modern

  • Oil Pastel

  • Papercraft

  • Sci-fi
