Core takeaways

Combine structured inputs, reference imagery, and lighting direction to keep your render story cohesive. Keep a small, curated prompt library that aligns with your brand style.

When evaluating AI models, balance cost, iteration speed, and fidelity. Define what "approved quality" looks like before exploring new workflows.
