Attach model-north.jpg (shape reference), the screenshot from the model's Arrival, north view. The render here was made from the concept book's own screenshot of its model, which hid the roof window under wing 2's roof; the screenshot on this page is retaken from the model on the idea's page. The first image here is the result.

Start a fresh chat for each view, so it does not borrow from the last image. Attach only the one reference image named, if there is one, then paste the prompt.

how it came out

One light at the door and one upstairs, as asked, under a crescent rather than a half moon.

Turn the attached 3D model image into a photorealistic architectural photograph. Keep the exact shape, proportions, camera angle and position of every window, door and roof from the attached image. Only change the materials, lighting and surroundings as described below.

Setting: a clear autumn night, deep blue sky, a half moon. Camera at eye height on the gravel track to the north, 28mm lens.

Shape rules (do not change these from the image): a modest one-and-a-half storey house in an L-shape. Two simple gabled wings meet at a right angle, each about 5.4 metres wide, with steep 45 degree roofs of the same ridge height that meet in one clean valley. The main wing is about 9 metres long; the second wing projects about 3.6 metres from one end. The eaves are low, about 4 metres up, so the roof is the main shape and the bedrooms sit inside it, lit by windows in the gable ends. No dormers, no chimney stack, no porch, no extensions.

Materials:
- Walls: vertical untreated larch boards, weathered to an even soft silver-grey with a little honey colour left under the eaves, with slim dark grey corner trims.
- Roof: dark grey fibre-cement slates in neat straight courses, crisp thin verges with a small overhang, a lead-lined valley, slim black half-round gutters and downpipes.
- Windows and doors: plain standard-size casement windows with slim anthracite grey frames, set neatly in the boarding. Only one roof window, in the main wing's roof slope that faces the yard, close to the valley.
- Base: the house sits on a low dark timber skirting just above a narrow strip of pale gravel. No brick or stone plinth.
- A single slim black steel stove flue rising through the north roof slope near the west end.
- A single warm light under the slim black canopy over the plain oak front door, and warm light in the upstairs gable window.
- The rest of the north wall is dark and quiet; the slate roof faintly lit by the moon.

Surroundings: a flat paddock in a quiet Peak District valley: dry stone walls, rough grazing with a few sheep in the distance, hawthorns and one old ash tree, gritstone edges along the skyline by moonlight, the open field gate and dry stone wall in the foreground, a car's tyre tracks in the gravel.

Style: calm, realistic night photography. Avoid floodlights and uplighters. Avoid: changing the shape, dormers, brick, render, stone walls on the house, porches, conservatories, big glass walls, barn conversion look, modern villa look, people, text.
