Prompts & Prompt System

How Prompts Work

Prompts are text descriptions that guide the AI processor in generating your 360° panoramic image. Better prompts produce better results.

Writing Effective Prompts

Basic Structure

Start with the subject, then add details about style, lighting, and quality:

"a serene mountain lake at sunset, volumetric lighting, highly detailed, 8k"

Negative Prompts

Tell the AI what to AVOID:

"blurry, low quality, distorted, watermark, text, artifacts"

Tips for 360° Panoramas

• Describe the ENVIRONMENT, not a single object
• Think in terms of "being inside" the scene
• Include directional variety: "mountains to the north, ocean to the south"
• Mention lighting that wraps around: "golden hour", "overcast sky"
• Avoid references to specific camera angles ("looking up", "close-up")

Prompt Templates

Reusable prompt snippets with parameter tokens: - Browse built-in templates organized by category - Create custom templates with {{parameter}} placeholders - Apply templates to quickly set up common prompt structures - Combine templates for complex configurations

Prompt Presets

Per-model recommended prompt/parameter combinations: - Curated by the 360 Hextile team for each processor - Include prompt text, negative prompt, guidance scale, steps - One-click application for quick starting points

AI Prompt Transform

Enhance your prompts using AI language models: - Type a simple idea and get an expanded, detailed prompt - Supports Claude and OpenAI API integration - Bring your own API key (encrypted storage) - Useful for exploring creative directions quickly

Prompt Interpolation

For sequence workflows, interpolate between prompts over time: - 5 interpolation modes (linear, easing, cubic, etc.) - Smooth transitions between different scenes - Multi-prompt keyframe support

Token Counting

Real-time token estimate displayed as you type: - Shows how many tokens your prompt uses - Helps stay within model limits - Different processors have different token limits
