7. Technical Specifications

Define camera and rendering details for photorealistic quality.

Fields:

• camera: Camera type and lens

• render_details: Rendering engine and techniques

Examples:

{
  "camera": "DSLR, 85mm portrait lens",

Best Practices

1. Be Specific and Detailed

3. Control Depth of Field

• f/1.2-2.8: Creamy bokeh, dreamy backgrounds
• f/4.0-5.6: Moderate depth, some background detail
• f/8.0-11: Sharp throughout, environmental portraits

4. Include Environmental Context

• Ground subjects in specific locations
• Add realistic background elements
• Describe flooring and surfaces

5. Use Technical Terminology

• "DSLR", "mirrorless", "85mm portrait lens"
• "ray tracing", "subsurface scattering", "volumetric lighting"
• "Unreal Engine 5", "Octane Render", "HDRI lighting"

Testing Your Configurations

Before generating, verify:

1. JSON is valid: Check for missing commas, brackets
2. All sections filled: Don't leave required fields empty
3. Consistent details: Lighting should match mood, apparel matches setting
4. Realistic specifications: Camera settings should be plausible
5. Complete narrative: The config should tell a coherent story
