CORE

Prompt guide

Good results come from clear briefs. Every DesignEye tool organises its prompt with the CORE framework — follow the same idea when you write your notes.

C

Context and constraints

Say what the source of truth is — a photo, a sketch or a massing model — and what must stay fixed: camera, openings, ceiling height, terrain, mature trees.

Preserve: camera, openings, ceiling height, floor boundary. Change: finishes, loose furniture, decorative lighting.
O

Objective and options

Explore one decision at a time: compare three materials, test a warmer light, try a different planting style. Avoid "make it luxurious" or "improve everything".

Without changing the layout, compare light oak, walnut and bamboo floors.
R

Rendering direction

Describe materials as material + finish + scale + condition, light as source + direction + time, then the view and atmosphere.

Matte light oak with a fine straight grain; late side light from the left with long shadows.
E

Evaluation and exclusions

State what success looks like, and remember what an AI image cannot prove: dimensions, structure, codes, cost, permits.

The opening pattern stays consistent; the three options are easy to compare; circulation reads clearly.

How to iterate

  1. Make a baseline from the shortest complete brief.
  2. Find the single mismatch that matters most.
  3. Revise one layer only: constraints, direction, view, light or context.
  4. Keep briefs that work and reuse them.
  5. Compare options with the same photo, view and aspect ratio.

Checklist after each image

  • Compare with the source: did the camera, openings, roof, levels or trees change?
  • Do circulation, sightlines and scale feel believable? Are furniture, people and plants in proportion?
  • Is the light direction consistent? Are shadows and glass reflections plausible?
  • Are the options easy to compare?
  • Is it labelled as a concept? Could a client mistake it for an approved design?

AI visuals are for early discussion only — never the basis for construction, purchasing, permits or safety decisions.
