Recipe

The examples above were generated with Nano Banana Pro and Seedream 4.5. The recipes below are written for GPT Image and Flux, so treat the settings as a starting point rather than the exact run.

A description in plain sentences. This is the version to start with, and it works on any current image model. Settings below are the ones we used on GPT Image; treat them as a starting point.

This recipe describes a treatment rather than a thing. Put your own subject in and it is added to the end of the prompt.

Prompt

A glossy 3D product render coated in iridescent chrome that shifts through the whole spectrum across its surface, deep blue rolling into magenta, orange and acid green as the form turns. Single hot flat colour background with no environment or horizon, soft studio lighting with long specular streaks along the edges, object floating with only a faint contact shadow. Clean CGI, no logos, no lettering, no props. Subject: a running shoe with a thick sculpted sole.

The prompt gets you close. Feed one of the examples in as a style reference for the rest. Download the images

Tips

  • 1Name the colour journey. Just saying iridescent gives you flat purple.
  • 2Flat background, no studio environment. The reflections should be invented.
  • 3Long specular streaks are what make it read as chrome rather than plastic.
