Complexity Level: Expert
Prompt Code Block

{ "task": "Generate an inflated 'puffy' 3D UI icon — soft balloon-like volumes with pillowy highlights for modern mobile product design.", "icon_idea": "YOUR-ICON-IDEA (e.g. Chat Bubble Heart, 3D Folder, Lightning Bolt, Camera Lens)", "style": { "materials": "Semi-matte silicone / soft-touch rubber skin. Surface has gentle stretch tension wrinkles at tight curves only. Specular: broad, diffused highlights (not mirror). Feels air-filled and pressurized.", "shapes": "Inflated simplified silhouette — every corner radius ≥25% of local edge length. Icon metaphor reduced to one readable symbol. Optional tiny tethered puffy dot as notification badge.", "colors": { "palette": ["bubblegum pink", "electric periwinkle", "soft tangerine", "aqua mint", "cloud white"], "usage": "Monochrome icon body in one pastel-saturated hue + white highlight cap. Badge dot: contrasting accent (max 1). No black outlines." }, "gradients": { "usage": "Surface curvature shading only — simulates inflated volume", "application": "Top-left hot highlight → midtone → bottom-right cool shadow within same hue family", "restriction": "No multi-color gradients on a single surface; no metallic reflections" }, "lighting": "Dual softbox: key top-left, fill bottom-right at 40%. Ambient occlusion in creases where puffy forms pinch (e.g. where stem meets body).", "composition": { "layout": "1:1 square", "structure": "Single centered puffy object, slight upward float (ground gap 5% frame height)", "depth": "Soft contact shadow ellipse below; optional second smaller puffy element behind at 85% scale, 15% blur" }, "background": "Flat #F8FAFC or subtle vertical gradient #FFFFFF→#F1F5F9. No texture.", "camera": { "type": "Orthographic with 5% perspective hint", "angle": "Eye-level, dead-center" }, "details": "Micro seam line optional at equator (10% opacity). No faces, no typography, no realistic materials (wood, metal)." }, "output": { "aspect_ratio": "1:1", "file_format": "PNG", "background": "Transparent preferred", "resolution": "1024×1024 px, crisp edges" }, "notes": "Cohesive puffy icon set: identical light direction, shadow softness, and inflation pressure across all icons. Trend reference: iOS playful 3D, Notion-style soft 3D, modern fintech mascots." }
