Generating scenery with Avolo’s AI is easy; be it a photo of the northern lights or the pyramids. If you can imagine it, you can create it. Learning how to make the best of AI takes a little bit of getting used to, but we’re here to help. By following the Idea → Subject → Frame prompt writing process, you’ll be churning out incredible renders in no time.
Let’s first come up with some ideas for what we’d like to render. Since we’re doing scenery today, I’d like to see some cool landscape photos. I can actually get Avolo to help me with some ideas. First thing’s first, I’m going to set out a few renders of generic “beautiful scenery” at relatively low detail so everything comes out quickly.
"Beautiful scenery"
"Beautiful scenery"
"Beautiful scenery"
In the images above, I've used aspect ratio of 1:1, a detail setting of 25, with the "photograph" filter enabled on Avolo. We’ve got a babbling brook, some wooded wetlands, and some mountainous scenes here. I quite like mountains, so we’ll do something with these for now.
Now I know that I’m after mountains, let’s put a prompt in that’s a little more relevant to mountains. We can still leave the detail low on these since still churning out ideas:
"A beautiful landscape photograph of mountain scenery"
"A beautiful landscape photograph of mountain scenery"
"A beautiful landscape photograph of mountain scenery"
I've continued on the same path with my settings here. 1:1 aspect ratios, especially when exploring, often produce more reliably fast renders. This is because Avolo's AI is trained on 1:1 aspect ratio images.
Now that we’re a little closer to knowing what we’re looking to get a hold of, let’s play with the subject a little. Currently we’re looking at generic mountain scenery. I want to see something more specific. First let’s play with the weather a little. I can make it snowy and cold, or I can make it warm and sunny:
"A beautiful landscape photograph of mesa mountain scenery, boiling hot, sunny, summer"
"A beautiful landscape photograph of mountain scenery sunny, warm, dry, summer"
"A beautiful landscape photograph of mountain scenery, two inches of snow"
Better yet, let's specify by location:
"A beautiful landscape photograph of Yosemite mountain scenery, sunny, warm"
"A beautiful landscape photograph of Yosemite mountain scenery, winter"
"A beautiful landscape photograph of Banff mountain scenery, sunny, warm"
"A beautiful landscape photograph of Banff mountain scenery, winter"
Let’s play with the forestry a little. I want to be looking at more of Yosemite’s trees here:
"A beautiful landscape photograph of Yosemite mountain scenery full of trees, forest, snowy, cool, winter"
"A beautiful landscape photograph of Yosemite mountain scenery full of trees, forest, snowy, cool, winter"
"A beautiful landscape photograph of Yosemite mountain scenery full of trees, forest, sunny, warm, summer"
We can even add a little helicopter, or a plane:
"A beautiful landscape photograph of Banff mountain scenery with a plane flying in the background, snowy, cool, winter"
"A beautiful landscape photograph of a helicopter flying through Banff mountain scenery, snowy, cool, winter"
You might notice that if you add these same objects to the end of the prompts, the AI gets a little confused. This is because descriptors put closer to the end of a prompt carry less weight. You’ll see that I’ve put the helicopter and plane front and centre in these prompt to ensure they carry lots of weight. Managing multiple subjects tends to take a little more trial on error than single subjects, so be ready for things to go wrong!
Now that we’re a little closer to knowing what we’re looking to get a hold of, let’s play with the subject a little. Currently we’re looking at generic mountain scenery. I want to see something more specific. First let’s play with the weather a little. I can make it snowy and cold, or I can make it warm and sunny:
"A beautiful National Geographic photograph of Yosemite mountain scenery full of trees, forest, photorealistic, golden hour, sunny, warm, summer"
"A beautiful National Geographic photograph of Yosemite mountain scenery full of trees, forest, photorealistic, golden hour, sunny, warm, summer"
"A gloomy National Geographic photograph of Yosemite mountain scenery full of trees, forest, photorealistic, golden hour, sunny, warm, summer"
Let’s tweak the mood and go for something a little more mysterious. If it’s no longer golden hour, we can give Yosemite a spooky mood! You can use any adjectives to set the mood here.
"A gloomy National Geographic photograph of Yosemite mountain scenery full of trees, forest, photorealistic, foggy, warm, summer"
"A foggy National Geographic photograph of Yosemite mountain scenery full of trees, forest, photorealistic, warm, summer"
"A gloomy National Geographic photograph of Yosemite mountain scenery full of trees, forest, photorealistic, warm, summer"
Let’s change our perspective a bit. We can go up in a helicopter to take these photos!
"A beautiful National Geographic photograph, helicopter view of Yosemite mountain scenery full of trees, forest, photorealistic, warm, summer, wide angle, golden hour"
"A dramatic National Geographic photograph, helicopter view of Yosemite mountain scenery full of trees, forest, photorealistic, warm, summer"
"A beautiful National Geographic photograph, helicopter view of Yosemite mountain scenery full of trees, forest, photorealistic, warm, summer, wide angle"
"A dramatic National Geographic photograph of Yosemite mountain scenery full of trees, forest, photorealistic, warm, summer"
Using Avolo's colour sliders you can add a coloration theme to your renders.
"A National Geographic photograph of Yosemite mountain scenery at midnight, full of trees, forest, photorealistic, starry night"
Need to specify a time of day? You can add this anywhere in the prompt.
"A dramatic painting of Yosemite mountain scenery full of trees, forest, warm, summer"
Naturally, using Avolo's pre-set modifiers, you can turn all of these photos into anything from a kids drawing to a Monet painting!
