Attach model-yard.jpg (shape reference), the screenshot from the model's From the yard 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

The cover. The roof window landed on the main wing's yard slope near the valley, where the brief wants it, and the yard, the logs and the open back door all came through.

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: high summer evening in the English Peak District, warm low sun from the west, long soft shadows, clear sky with a few light clouds. Camera at eye height to the south-west, looking into the sheltered corner of the L, 35mm 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.
- The one roof window sits in the left-hand roof slope as seen in this view (the main wing's slope facing the yard), close to the valley. There is no roof window on the right-hand wing.
- The yard in the corner of the L: worn sandstone flags with moss in the joints, a weathered oak table and four mismatched chairs, herbs and lavender in two simple timber raised beds, a glazed back door standing open.
- A neat stack of split logs under the eaves of the west gable.

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. Long meadow grass and cow parsley round the edges of the yard, a mown path.

Style: high-end architectural photography, natural colours, crisp detail, real weathering and texture. 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.
