유리블럭과 도시 등대

이 렌더링은 해가 저문 뒤 찾아오는 푸른빛의 황혼(Blue Hour)을 배경으로, 도시 한복판에 자리한 4층짜리 현대 건축을 정면에서 포착한 이미지를 담고 있습니다. 상부 두 개 층은 반투명 유리 블록으로 구성되어 있어, 내부의 따스한 조명이 은은하게 새어나오며 차가운 외부 공기와 대조를 이룹니다. 유리 블록은 가로 32칸, 세로 12칸의 격자 구조로 정교하게 배열되어 있으며, 모서리가 둥근 곡면을 따라 매끄럽게 이어져 건축물에 부드러운 곡선미를 더해줍니다.

하부 두 개 층은 짙은 차콜톤의 벽돌로 마감되어, 질감이 살아있는 표면 위엔 균일한 시멘트 줄눈이 촘촘히 이어집니다. 세 번째 층과 1층에는 각각 오른쪽에 세로로 긴 창문(0.7m × 2.0m)이 하나씩 자리해, 내부의 따뜻한 주황빛이 유리 면을 통해 흘러나와 어둑한 벽돌과 절묘한 대조를 이룹니다. 창문 테두리는 매트 블랙의 알루미늄 프레임으로 마감되어, 주변의 어슴푸레한 빛을 은은하게 반사하며 차폐와 개방의 경계를 동시에 연출합니다.

지면에는 좁은 보도 블록이 이어져 있고, 과거 내린 비로 인해 살짝 젖어 반사되는 표면 위를 한 인물이 흘러가듯 걸어가고 있습니다. 이 인물은 약 1.7m 높이의 실루엣으로, 짙은 외투를 걸친 채 발걸음에 약간의 모션 블러가 더해져 생동감을 전합니다. 사람의 존재감은 대형 건축물 앞에서의 스케일감을 돋보이게 해주며, 동시에 도시의 삶과 일상적 풍경을 암시합니다.

전체적으로 이 작품은 기술적 정밀성과 감성적 서정이 공존하는 순간을 포착하고자 했습니다. “황혼의 도시 경계”라는 제목이 암시하듯, 건축물은 마치 도시와 자연, 낮과 밤이 만나는 경계 지점에 서 있는 듯한 인상을 줍니다. 차갑고 고요한 외부 풍경 속에서 따스한 내부 빛이 안락함을 속삭이며, 사람의 실루엣은 그 경계 위에서 흐르는 시간과 이야기를 품고 있습니다.

Image Generation Prompt Writing (English Version)

Objective: Create a moody, photorealistic front‐elevation render of a four‐story contemporary building at twilight—emphasizing material contrast, warm interior glow, human scale, and subtle atmospheric drama.

SYSTEMATIC IMAGE DESCRIPTION REPORT

Original Description Analysis: The prompt was originally focused on a technical, orthographic front‐elevation of a building under overcast daylight, with precise grid counts of glass blocks, brick coursing, and minimal context. This report preserves that technical core while adding emotional storytelling and human scale.

Source Description (Original)

High‐resolution, orthographic front‐elevation view of a four‐story contemporary building under cool overcast daylight. The upper two floors consist of a continuous grid of translucent gray glass blocks (each ≈ 0.25 m × 0.25 m) with subtle warm interior illumination, forming a seamless wrap‐around at the rounded right corner (radius ≈ 0.8 m). Below, the dark charcoal‐brick façade spans two floors: the third floor contains a single vertical window module (0.7 m × 2.0 m) on the right with black powder‐coated aluminum framing, revealing a warm interior glow. The ground floor mirrors this alignment with another vertical window directly below and a second narrow window stack above. Brick courses (≈ 0.1 m × 0.02 m mortar joints) run horizontally with thin, uniform joints, and the curved corner brickwork follows the glass‐block curvature. mortar lines are meticulously leveled. All metal frames around windows and the subtle recess around each module are finished in matte black with slight specular highlights. The entire façade measures 8 m in width and 12 m in height, with 3 m‐high floor slabs delineating each storey. Overcast soft daylight produces diffused shadows, and the sky is a muted pale gray.

Key Elements Extracted

• Architectural Components:
  • Four‐story façade divided into two distinct material zones (glass‐block upper zone, dark brick lower zone)
  • Rounded corner detail on the right flank (radius ≈ 0.8 m)
  • Vertical window modules stacked in the brick zone (each 0.7 m × 2.0 m)
  • Horizontal floor slabs at 3 m intervals
• Material Specifications:
  • Translucent gray glass blocks (approx. 0.25 m × 0.25 m each, 50% diffuse transparency, subtle specular sheen)
  • Dark charcoal brick (approx. 0.2 m × 0.06 m masonry units with 0.02 m mortar joints, matte finish)
  • Black powder‐coated aluminum window frames (matte with slight specular highlights)
• Spatial Relationships:
  • Upper two floors: continuous glass‐block grid wrapping around the curved corner
  • Third floor: single vertical window on the far right, aligned above ground‐floor window
  • Ground floor: vertical window and narrow window stack, aligned under the third‐floor window
  • All openings inset slightly (≈ 0.05 m) from the face to create a subtle shadow profile
• Lighting Conditions:
  • Twilight (“blue hour”) ambient light—cool, dim sky (color temperature ≈ 4800 K)
  • Warm interior glow (color temperature ≈ 2700 K) visible through glass blocks and windows
  • Soft, diffused shadows at façade edges; very gentle directional lighting from upper left (approx. 30° elevation)
  • Overall contrast: deep in brick zone, glowing highlights in glass block zone
• Technical Parameters:
  • Camera: orthographic, front‐elevation, eye level
  • Focal Length Equivalent: 50 mm
  • Viewing Distance: approx. 10 m
  • Resolution: 4K (3840×3840 px) square crop
  • Exposure: balanced to preserve highlight glow in windows without blowing out brick detail
  • No perspective distortion (perfectly orthographic projection)

Visual Verification from Original Image

• Confirmed Elements:
  • Upper glass‐block façade glows warmly in four evenly spaced clusters—two per floor, forming subtle pairs
  • Rounded right‐corner curvature preserved through continuous glass block grid
  • Dark charcoal brick texture: horizontal coursing with thin mortar joints, slight irregularities in color/texture
  • Vertical windows show warm interior lighting; window frames are matte black, with slight specular on edges
  • Figure silhouette walking on sidewalk (left side) used for scale and human context
  • Sky appears as a deep, muted blue‐gray—indicative of twilight’s “blue hour”
• Enhanced Details:
  • Brick surface includes faint vertical stacking lines (≈ 0.05 m height repetition) and minimal color variance (very dark brown to almost black)
  • Glass blocks display subtle gradient: brightest at center of each window grouping (interior fixture behind), dimmer toward edges
  • Slight reflections of adjacent unseen buildings faintly visible in the top rows of glass blocks
  • Sidewalk at base: small horizontal concrete seams and faint texture indicating dampness (slightly reflective surface)
  • Figure silhouette: adult wearing a dark coat, mid‐stride, blurred slightly to indicate motion
• Consistency Check:
  • All grid counts and module dimensions match: 32 glass blocks across width × 12 blocks tall per glass section (two floors combined), each block approx. 0.25 m
  • Brick courses run continuously without unexpected vertical breaks
  • Window sizes (0.7 m × 2.0 m) align precisely between third and ground floors
  • Curvature radius on right corner ≈ 0.8 m, consistent with original specification (rounded detail mapped from original prompt)
  • Overall façade width ≈ 8 m, height ≈ 12 m, with 3 m per floor accurately maintained in image

Negative Prompt (Applying NEG Principles)

Exclusion Boundaries

- Do not include overt daylight sun rays or direct sunlight (no high‐contrast harsh shadows)
- Do not introduce other architectural styles (e.g., classical columns, wooden cladding, neon signage)
- Avoid bright sky colors (no orange/pink sunset tones; strictly cool blue‐gray twilight)
- No extraneous elements like parked cars, street furniture, lampposts, overhead wires

Quality Control Constraints

- No visible grid misalignments or non‐orthographic perspective distortions
- Brick courses must run perfectly horizontal; mortar joints uniform and straight
- Window frame profiles must be consistent thickness (≈ 0.05 m) across all openings
- Figure silhouette must remain a subtle blur—no sharp details that distract
- Glass blocks must show evenly spaced grout lines that match the 0.25 m block size exactly
- Avoid pixelation or aliasing at edges of frame; preserve crisp lines on orthographic projection

Technical Error Prevention

- Prevent lens distortion or vanishing points—strict orthographic projection
- Avoid overexposing interior lights (clamp highlight at 80% of maximum to retain detail)
- Ensure no duplicate windows or missing blocks—maintain exact 32×12 block grid
- Prevent “floating” elements—figure must touch the sidewalk plane without gaps
- Avoid unnatural reflections (no mirror‐like clarity on glass, only subtle diffuse reflections)

Style & Material Restrictions

- No glossy or polished brick—brick must be strictly matte/dull, with slight texture
- Metal frame must be matte black; no chrome‐like specularity or colored frames
- Glass blocks must remain grayish, not tinted in blue, green, or other hues
- Do not add fin‐like decorative elements or extrusions—keep all surfaces planar

 

Latent Gap Management Principles

Creative Autonomy Zones

• Flexible Interpretation Areas:
  • Subtle variation in brick color tone (within a ±5% brightness range) to simulate real masonry variation
  • Slight organic feel in sidewalk texture (small cracks, minor puddle reflections)
  • Figure posture and clothing can vary slightly (jacket vs. coat), as long as height ≈ 1.7 m and walking motion is implied
• Acceptable Variation Range:
  • Brick color variation: RGB brightness between 10–15% (dark tones)
  • Glass block glow intensity: interior highlight brightness may vary ±10% to avoid uniform “blown out” look
  • Sidewalk moisture reflection: up to 15% specular highlight intensity

Precision Control Zones

• Strict Adherence Required:
  • Overall building dimensions: 8 m wide × 12 m tall
  • Glass block grid: exactly 32 blocks across each two‐floor span, 12 blocks tall total
  • Window module size: 0.7 m × 2.0 m, positioned at x = 6.5 m from left edge, consistent on third and ground floors
  • Rounded corner radius: 0.8 m, seamlessly transitioning glass‐block grid to brick courses
• Non‐Negotiable Elements:
  • Orthographic projection (no perspective)
  • Material types: translucent gray glass blocks, dark charcoal matte brick, matte black metal frames
  • Time of day/lighting conditions: twilight blue hour, warm interior glow, cool ambient light
  • Human figure silhouette: height ≈ 1.7 m, blurred motion, walking on sidewalk plane directly in front of building

User-AI Negotiation Framework

• Expectation Alignment:
  • The building should appear both technically precise and emotionally evocative: a balance between orthographic clarity and twilight atmosphere
  • The figure in silhouette is required for human scale; if omitted, façade can feel too sterile
  • Ensure that the interior light glow remains visible but not overbearing—user expects subtle warmth, not bright lantern effect
• Quality Assurance Metrics:
  • Fidelity Metrics:
    • 100% block grid count accuracy (32×12 in upper zone)
    • Exact brick course height and mortar joint thickness compliance
    • Rounded corner curvature within ±0.05 m of specified radius
  • Consistency Verification:
    • Cross‐check window alignment between floors (vertical alignment within ±1 pixel)
    • Ensure color consistency across all brick faces (no abrupt outliers)
    • Confirm interior light color (~2700 K) and intensity is uniform in all window openings
  • Performance Optimization:
    • Use tileable materials for brick and glass block to reduce memory overhead
    • Optimize shader settings for low‐noise twilight rendering (denoiser enabled)
    • Maintain render time under 4 seconds for 4K orthographic frame at P95

Optimization Rationale and Methodology

Enhancement Strategy Applied

• Description Preservation Method:
  • Retained all original dimensions (8 m × 12 m, 32×12 glass block grid, 0.7 m×2.0 m windows) verbatim
  • Kept material types and finishes (matte brick, translucent glass, matte black frames) exactly as specified
• Technical Reinforcement Approach:
  • Added precise camera/lens/exposure settings for twilight lighting
  • Introduced clear shading and reflection parameters to reinforce realism (soft shadows, HDRI dome)
• Gap Mitigation Techniques:
  • Introduced human figure to close “sterile orthographic” gap—providing life and scale
  • Shifted lighting from uniform overcast to twilight blue hour to create richer atmospheric drama
  • Added sidewalk details (moisture reflections, small cracks) to ground the scene in reality

Quality Assurance Framework

• Fidelity Metrics:
  • 100% match on geometric counts (grid, brick courses, window modules)
  • Material color deviation < ±5 % from intended swatches (brick R:20 G:20 B:20 ± 5%)
  • Lighting temperature accuracy: ambient 4800 K ± 200 K; interior 2700 K ± 100 K
• Consistency Verification:
  • Cross‐checking alignment of all modules in 3D viewport—no drifting by more than 2 px in final render
  • Pixel‐level examine mortar joints at 4K: uniform thickness ±1 px
  • Validate shadow softness: compare penumbra radius in 3D engine to intended values
• Performance Optimization:
  • Use baked GI for ambient lighting to reduce noise at 4K (samples: 1024)
  • Tileable PBR textures for brick and glass blocks at 2048×2048 px to balance memory vs. detail
  • Enable AI denoiser with 50% denoise threshold for final render pass to keep under 4 seconds

Success Criteria Definition

• Intent Preservation Rate: 100% of original architectural specifications must be visible and unaltered
• Technical Accuracy Score: > 95% (as measured by independent review check of grid counts, dimensions, and material appearance)
• Generation Quality Index: > 90% (based on evaluation of material realism, lighting believability, and overall emotional tone)
