Origami Paper Sculpture Poster

Origami Paper Sculpture Poster

Use the system imagegen skill and image-generation tool. Treat every uploaded photograph as the edit source. Rebuild its identity as a physically credible paper sculpture rather than applying a generic origami style.

Output contract

• Produce one independent raster poster for every uploaded photo. Never combine photos into a collage, contact sheet, comparison layout, diptych, or shared canvas.
• Use a 3:4 portrait canvas with one exact horizontal 50/50 division. Keep truthful photography in the upper half and the folded-paper sculpture in the lower half. Do not let either medium invade the other.
• Preserve immediate correspondence through the hero's silhouette, posture, proportion, direction, structure, relationship, and source-derived color.
• Use one primary sculptural hero, a few supporting paper forms, one integrated English title, and abundant quiet ground.
• Return every poster as a separate image. Keep user-facing commentary to one short status sentence only when necessary.

Preserve the photographic upper half

Keep the source recognizably photographic. Preserve subject identity and count, anatomy or construction, proportions, pose, silhouette, direction, spatial relationships, real materials, natural light, and the original color atmosphere.

Apply only restrained art-magazine, independent-publication, or exhibition-photography color correction. Do not redraw, vectorize, beautify, materially relight, or apply paper folds, cut edges, typography, or graphic overlays to this region.

Crop deliberately for the upper half. When more area is needed, extend only plausible sky, ground, wall, water, foliage, or environmental background. Never stretch, warp, mirror, duplicate, or redesign the subject.

Extract a foldable structure

Before prompting, privately identify:

1. the one hero subject or inseparable relationship carrying recognition;
2. its decisive silhouette, posture, proportion, direction, major masses, openings, and structural turns;
3. three to six identity features that must survive geometric folding;
4. the visual center of gravity, main axis, triangular support points, diagonal tensions, overlaps, and negative spaces;
5. the minimum environment or supporting relationship required for scale, depth, or narrative;
6. which source planes can become folds, cut facets, nested shells, slotted joints, raised flaps, or layered paper volumes;
7. the upper photograph's most spirited color, related fold tones, structural dark, light ground, and any tiny accent;
8. one concise English title and only the few supported notes needed for balance.

Do not expose this analysis or repeat the user's design brief.

Sculpt the hero from paper logic

Translate the hero into a small number of folded, cut, layered, nested, and interlocked paper forms. Preserve the source's main silhouette and relation while simplifying surface detail.

Use paper operations for visible structural roles:

• mountain or valley folds for ridges, joints, body planes, roofs, garments, wings, leaves, waves, or directional turns;
• cut facets for changes in material, silhouette, or major surface angle;
• nested shells for bodies, vessels, architecture, vehicles, flowers, terrain, or enclosing relationships;
• slots and interlocks for true crossings, joints, branches, frames, or connected subjects;
• layered paper pieces for local depth, environment, shadow plane, water, ground, foliage, or background;
• a raised flap or rolled/curved piece for one source-supported protrusion or focal gesture.

Keep fold geometry coherent and fabricable. Use enough planes to express volume, but merge small details. Preserve complete anatomy for people and animals; folds may describe body planes and clothing but must not sever limbs or create faceted damage.

Avoid standardized origami bases, crane-like folds, low-poly mesh appearance, many tiny triangles, paper-toy tabs, cute mascot proportions, or unsupported complex engineering.

Compose a stable but asymmetric sculpture

Arrange the hero from its own weight, contour direction, and action. Use triangular stability, diagonal tension, a clear primary axis, foreground/background overlap, scale contrast, and shaped negative space.

The hero may be off-center, lightly cropped, extended toward one edge, suspended over a paper plane, or partially nested with a support. Keep one dominant volume and one center of gravity.

Use only a few support pieces or geometric elements to establish base, direction, scale, or environment. They may not form a second subject. Keep large areas of clean warm paper around the sculpture.

Avoid rigid center symmetry, equal wings or panels, many floating fragments, complete scenic dioramas, repeated hero forms, decorative paper confetti, complex backgrounds, and a fixed product pedestal.

Present the result as a flat editorial artwork showing a paper sculpture on the page. Do not add a frame, wall, table, hands, craft tools, packaging, gallery vitrine, catalog product shot, or e-commerce stage.

Render physical matte paper

Use fine matte paper or cardstock with restrained fibers, visible fold creases, crisp cut edges, slight edge compression, believable thickness, local layer gaps, and subtle hand variation.

Illuminate with soft diffuse light from one coherent direction. Use short natural shadows at contacts, folds, undercuts, and overlaps to explain volume.

Avoid glossy plastic, resin, clay, metal, thick foam board, cheap construction paper, fuzzy felt, corrugated cardboard, laser-burned edges, harsh ray-traced shadows, dramatic studio lighting, smooth CGI surfaces, and gradient-based volume.

Translate source color into paper planes

Extract the upper photograph's most recognizable and life-filled colors. Convert them into a coordinated paper group using one principal color, same-family light/dark fold planes, one or two neighboring source hues, one deep structural tone, a pale ground, and at most one small contrast accent.

Assign color by fold and depth. Use related tones to separate planes and a small contrast only at a decisive feature. Preserve the source's warm/cool identity.

Keep color clear, matte, and lively. Avoid fixed pastel craft palettes, neon, rainbow paper, candy color, muddy aging, complex gradients, equal-area multicolor, unrelated beige minimalism, and repeated accent pieces.

Fold the title into the composition

Derive one concise English word or title from the source's identity, theme, action, emotion, or symbolic meaning. Add only a few supported numbers, places, state words, or micro-annotations.

Choose a structural relation for the title:

• arch around a rounded or enclosing hero;
• extend along the main axis or movement direction;
• follow a decisive contour;
• support the hero from below or above;
• interlock with, pass behind, or overlap a paper volume;
• suspend in a shaped blank region as a folded paper element.

The main title may be built from folded or cut paper letters when it remains legible and uses the same material language. Keep microtext slender and minimal, printed or lightly embossed on the paper.

Do not add a detached commercial headline, long copy, unsupported locations or numbers, issue codes, logos, brands, signatures, pseudo-language, or watermarks.

Compile the image-edit prompt

Write one source-specific production prompt per input photo containing:

1. one independent 3:4 portrait output and the exact 50% photography / 50% paper-sculpture split;
2. the upper-half preservation invariants, restrained color correction, crop, and any safe background extension;
3. the lower hero, relationship, silhouette, posture, proportion, direction, major masses, openings, and three to six identity features;
4. the exact folds, cut facets, nested shells, slots, interlocks, layers, flaps, curves, merged detail, and fabricable construction logic;
5. the primary axis, triangular support, diagonal tension, center of gravity, dominant volume, offset/crop, depth order, support pieces, and negative-space shape;
6. the matte paper, fibers, crease behavior, cut edges, compression, thickness, layer gaps, diffuse light, and short contact shadows;
7. the exact source-derived principal, fold-tone, neighboring, structural, ground, and optional accent colors, with plane assignments;
8. the exact English title and its arch-, axis-, contour-, support-, interlock-, overlap-, or suspended-paper relation;
9. the microtext content, factual support, minimal type style, and placement balancing the sculptural hero;
10. hard exclusions: no multi-photo layout, no altered or redrawn upper subject, no approximate split, no standardized origami animal, no many tiny triangular facets, no low-poly mesh, no severed living forms, no cute mascot, no paper-toy tabs, no crowded diorama, no repeated hero, no cheap cardstock, no plastic CGI, no product display, no detached headline, no logo, and no watermark.

Use concrete fold, joint, plane, support, material, color, and typographic structure rather than relying on adjectives such as “premium,” “origami,” “sculptural,” or “handmade.”

Inspect and correct

Review every result at full size and thumbnail size. Verify the exact split, truthful upper photography, immediate lower recognition, coherent fabricable folds, one dominant sculptural hero, stable asymmetric support, few subordinate pieces, real matte paper, source-derived color, integrated folded title, and large quiet ground.

If it resembles a low-poly model, reduce tiny facets and increase larger paper planes, folds, and cut edges. If it looks like a cute origami toy, restore source proportions and material seriousness. If the sculpture feels unstable, clarify three support points and center of gravity. If it becomes a crowded diorama, remove environment pieces. If title looks pasted on, give it an arch, axis, contour, support, or interlock relationship. Regenerate with one targeted correction when needed.
