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 calmest of the set: every window warm, the back door open and lanterns on the table.

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, blue hour just after sunset, deep blue sky with the first stars and a faint glow over the hills. Camera low at the edge of the yard to the south-west, 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.
- Every window glows warm amber, with glimpses of a wood stove, books and lamps inside the kitchen and living room.
- The glazed back door is open; a few glass jam-jar lanterns on the oak table in the yard.
- The silver larch and slate roofs are just visible against the sky, catching a little of the dusk light.

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, now in deep shadow, the dry stone walls and the old ash tree in silhouette.

Style: calm, realistic night architectural photography, gentle light, no floodlights. 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.
