Attach model-east-side.jpg (shape reference), the screenshot from the model's East side view. The first image here is the result.
Open a fresh chat for each view, so it does not borrow from the last image. Attach only the one reference image, paste the prompt and ask for landscape format.
how it came out
The corners drifted: The Crown & Anchor and Hartley's came out on the corners, where Hartley's should be on the left and Texas Homecare on the right.
prompt
Turn the attached 3D model image into a photorealistic architectural photograph. Keep the exact layout, camera angle and the position of every building, shopfront, sign, lamp post, bench and tree from the attached image. Only change the materials, lighting, weather and surroundings as described below.
Setting: a late summer afternoon. This side faces west, so warm low sun lights the fronts from the left. Camera high on the west side of the street looking east, 35mm lens.
The view: the whole east side of Market Row, the private courtyard street of the house, seen from slightly above, as if from the roofline of the opposite side. Show every shop listed below clearly, with its sign readable.
Every shopfront sits in its own bay between honed pale limestone pilasters, uplit at their feet, under a deep carved pale stone cornice; a slim bronze and glass canopy with a fine warm LED line runs along the fronts (not over the cinema or the garage). Above, the upper floor is a crisp grid of pale Portland limestone fins and slabs with tall bronze windows set deep, a band of clerestory glass on top, and a thin pale floating roof plate overhanging the street by nearly two metres with a fine LED line on its edge; the plates step up and down with the house sections and dark slate roofs rise behind them. All the stone is calm, even and pale with no marble veining. The street: pale granite pavements, grey granite setts laid in sweeping fan arcs, slim black modern lamp posts.
The shopfronts, left to right, exactly in this order and no others:
- Northgate Stores (7 m front): slim dark bronze frame and tall plate glass, the name in cut bronze serif letters on a dark bronze fascia, softly backlit; through the glass, neat deli-style shelves of jars, tins and dry goods in glass canisters
- Kingsway Motors (14 m front, the garage): a modern premium car showroom: tall frameless glass from floor to ceiling with only slim black edges, a backlit charcoal fascia reading KINGSWAY MOTORS in clean, wide modern white capitals, and just above the glass a row of five brushed-metal plaques, each lettered in plain dark capitals with a classic British marque name: BRISTOL, JENSEN, ALVIS, DAIMLER, ARMSTRONG SIDDELEY (lettering only, no badges, emblems or logos). Inside: a polished pale stone floor, soft gallery lighting and two cars on display, with the wide middle glass bay standing open as a drive-through, granite setts running into it
- Ashworth Ironmongers (7 m front): slim dark bronze frame and tall plate glass, the name in cut bronze serif letters on a dark bronze fascia, softly backlit; through the glass, a wall of vintage hand tools on oak pegboard.
The garage is the centrepiece of this side. Foreground: the granite square with the stone water bowl, birches and benches, and the road of fan-patterned setts curving into the open garage bay. The Market Row street plate, white with black letters on two black posts, stands on the pavement just left of the garage. At the left and right edges, the corner shops of the north and south sides turning the corner.
Style: high-end architectural photography, natural colours, crisp detail, real weathering and texture.
Avoid: changing the layout, theme park or film set look, twee chocolate-box cottages, plastic signs, modern glass boxes, real film titles or logos other than the shop names given, people, extra text.
