Bistro tables with green chairs and candles along the wide pavement, a bay tree in a pot, a menu board, granite setts in the foreground and the limestone grid and floating roof above.

Attach model-pub-and-trattoria.jpg (shape reference), the screenshot from the model's Pub and trattoria 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

One of the strongest in the second round. Shop order held.

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 warm summer evening in Market Row, the private courtyard street of the house. Low golden sun from the west skims across the shopfronts. Camera at eye height on the cobbled road, looking north at the pub and the trattoria, 24mm lens.

The Crown & Anchor: a modern pub front, slim dark bronze frame and tall plate glass, the name in cut bronze serif letters on a dark bronze fascia, softly backlit, warm light and a long bar visible inside.

Between them: Fairbairn & Vine Wine Merchants, slim dark bronze frame and tall plate glass, the name in cut bronze serif letters on a dark bronze fascia, softly backlit, with oak wine racks and a tasting table glowing inside.

Trattoria Lucia: a 1950s Italian trattoria, cream frame, red fascia with Trattoria Lucia in cream script, a red and white striped awning with a line of warm festoon bulbs along its edge, a chalk MENU board, clipped bay trees in pots.

On the pavement: small round black iron cafe tables with green chairs, laid with candles and wine glasses.

Each front sits in its own bay between honed pale limestone pilasters under a deep carved stone cornice, with a slim bronze and glass canopy running along. On the left edge: The Albion Lounge, also bronze and glass. Above: the pale limestone grid with deep bronze windows, a band of clerestory glass and the thin floating roof plate overhanging the street, with slate roofs behind, against a soft evening sky.

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.
