Overview
This skill guides you through creating world-class 3D CGI and rendered video prompts optimized for Seedance 2.0（Higgsfield） . Whether you are targeting Pixar-style animation, photorealistic product visualization, architectural walkthroughs, sci-fi environments, or creature character animation, this framework provides the terminology, structure, and psychology knowledge needed to generate compelling CGI content.
The difference between a generic "make it look 3D" request and a production-grade CGI prompt lies inspecificity: render engine terminology, material properties, lighting language, camera dynamics, and the "hook" architecture that captures attention in the first two seconds. This skill teaches you all of it.

The 2-second hook framework in 3D CGI
A successful CGI prompt begins with an immediate visual promise. The first two seconds should clearly show:
- Three-dimensional form — the viewer immediately understands what this is and where it is in 3D space
- Surface quality — does the material look realistic? Is it glossy? Metallic?
- Lighting environment — where does the light come from? Is it indoors or outdoors?
Framework
[0–0.5秒]: [主体建立] + [相机视角] + [关键光源]
[0.5–1秒]: [材质细节] + [环境线索]
[1–2秒]: [相机运动或变换] + [深度和规模]
Example 1: Product visualization
0–0.5秒：一个豪华手表正面视图。三个点打光设置。金属案例在白色背景上。柔软的阴影。
0.5–1秒：特写镜头展示瑞士制造的刻字。次表面散射在蓝宝石水晶上。
1–2秒：旋转360度。反射在抛光金属上。全景景深。
Example 2: Architectural visualization
0–1秒：现代玻璃建筑的外立面。日出时分。长阴影穿过玻璃。
1–2秒：无人机镜头向上旋转。天空从淡蓝色过渡到金色。反射在玻璃上。
Example 3: Pixar-style character
0–1秒：一个友好的卡通人物的正面视图。高度过饱和的颜色。明亮的三点打光。
1–2秒：角色转身和微笑。皮肤有细微的SSS。眼睛反射灯光。
3D CGI terminology architecture
Layer 1: Render engines and global illumination
Render engine selection
| Engine | Best use | Visual characteristics |
|---|---|---|
| Blender Cycles | Photorealistic general rendering | Physically accurate, few artifacts, natural shadows |
| Unreal Engine 5 | Real-time visual effects, game quality | Dynamic lighting, real-time shadows, fast iteration |
| Octane Render | GPU-accelerated, product rendering | Ultra-sharp, detailed reflections, extremely fast |
| Arnold | Big-budget VFX | Procedural, extensible, data-driven |
| RenderMan | Pixar animation standard | Soft shadows, high-end animation quality |
| V-Ray | Architecture, product, VFX | Photorealistic, powerful materials |
| Redshift | GPU rendering, hour-level efficiency | High-speed rendering, real-time preview |
Global illumination technology
直接光照 → 最快，最少逼真感（用于概念概览）
间接光照（一次反弹） → 平衡的速度和真实感（产品、建筑）
路径追踪（多反弹） → 最慢，最逼真（高端电影）
光子贴图 → 室内渲染、焦散特效
体积光（缎光） → 烟雾、雾霾、丁达尔效应
Layer 2: Materials, surfaces, and shading
PBR (Physically Based Rendering) workflow
Three core properties define any CGI surface:
| Property | Range | Impact | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| Base color | sRGB | The object's true color | Metals do not use base color; they use reflectivity and a special specular color |
| Roughness | 0.0–1.0 | Degree of surface scattering | 0.0 = mirror smooth; 1.0 = extremely diffuse |
| Metallic | 0.0–1.0 | Conductivity (key for film) | 0.0 = non-metal; 1.0 = metal (no blending!) |
| Normal map | XYZ direction | Illusion of microscopic surface detail | Does not change actual geometry, saves polygons |
| Gloss map | Grayscale | Surface variation per texel | Makes surfaces look worn or dirty |
Material example prompts

Advanced material techniques
Subsurface scattering (SSS)
用于：皮肤、石蜡、大理石、薄瓷器
效果：光透过表面穿过，创造温暖感
提示词提示：添加SSS时，指定"光散射距离"（1-5mm范围）
Specular reflection and Fresnel
用于：水、玻璃、光亮的表面
效果：以陡峭的角度看时更反光（手机屏幕），正面看时更透明
提示词提示："强菲涅尔效应"或"边缘处更反光"
Anisotropic highlights
用于：拉丝金属、缎面、头发
效果：反射不是圆形，而是细线条状
提示词提示："拉丝铝"或"各向异性高光"
Layer 3: Lighting and VFX
Three-point lighting setup (CGI standard)
关键灯 → 主光源，45度角，产生定义阴影
填充灯 → 软灯（1:3或1:4比例），填充阴影细节
背光 → 从后面分离主体，创造边缘高光
CGI lighting terminology
| Term | Definition | Use |
|---|---|---|
| HDRI (High Dynamic Range Image) | 360-degree lighting environment | Realistic environment reflections and shadows |
| Caustics | Patterns refracted from water or glass | Swimming pools, underwater scenes, glass lamps |
| Volumetric light | Light beams passing through particles (smoke, dust) | Dramatic effects, atmospheric feel |
| Emission | Surfaces that emit light from a shader | Neon lights, screens, glowing eyes |
Layer 4: Camera and composition
CGI camera settings
焦距：
- 35mm（标准）：自然视角，多用途
- 50mm（标准）：人像，最接近人眼
- 85mm（长焦）：人像，压缩深度
- 24mm（广角）：建筑，环境
- 17mm（超广角）：戏剧性环境，变形
光圈（景深）：
- f/1.4–f/2.8：非常浅，隔离主体
- f/5.6–f/8：平衡的深度
- f/16+：所有内容清晰（建筑/产品）
Composition principles
三分法则 → 在1/3线上放置主体
前导线 → 直线引导观众眼睛进入框架
开放与对称 → 创造平衡感或对比感
负空间 → 留空以创造呼吸和孤立感
垂直和水平 → 避免倾斜的地平线（除非有意）
Layer 5: Animation and motion
Animation fundamentals (12 principles of animation)
压缩和拉伸 → 物体在运动时变形以显示力
预期 → 动作前的微妙准备
分段动作 → 动作不是同时发生的，而是按顺序
跟随和重叠 → 一部分比另一部分晚停止（头发、衣服）
弧形 → 自然弧形，不是直线
时序 → 速度和节奏传达权重和意图
缓冲进出 → 物体加速和减速，不是突然停止
呼吸 → 角色即使静止也在微妙地移动
次要动作 → 头转向转身的方向之前
立体感 → 角色看起来有体积和重量
吸引力 → 好的设计吸引观众的眼睛
Animation guidance in prompts
相机绕物体360度旋转：
"平稳缓冲旋转。没有快速加速。完全360度。"
角色走路循环：
"生物学准确的行走循环。跨过一条腿。臀部旋转。手臂摆动与腿相反。"

Common pitfalls
| Problem | Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Plastic looks strange | Roughness too low or too high | 0.3–0.5 for physical products |
| Metal looks matte | Roughness too high; no reflections | Metal: roughness 0.1–0.3; enable reflection |
| Skin looks like plastic | Missing SSS; no pore detail | Add subtle SSS and pore normal maps |
| Lighting looks artificial | Lighting is too bright or too dark | Use HDRI; use three-point setup |
| Inefficient | Oversampling; too many bounces | Grade according to quality target |
