Prompt

Vertical isometric 3D miniature cartoon scene of Lisbon seen from a clear 45-degree top-down angle, with an old stone riverside tower and a yellow tram in the centre, finely modelled with soft PBR materials and gentle realistic light. Today's weather is woven into the city: light rain, wet shining streets and a few open umbrellas. Clean minimal composition on a soft solid pale blue background. At the top centre, show the city name "LISBON" in large type, a weather icon just below it, then the date "OCT 19" in very small type and the temperature "17–22°C" in medium type. The weather text has no background box and may overlap the buildings slightly.

Prompts stay in English, the language these models follow best. Copy it as it is, or change a few words.

Make your own version

  1. This is a fill-in template: swap the parts in braces, like {weather}, in the boxes above and keep the rest word for word.
  2. The words in quotes, "LISBON", are printed in the picture. Keep them short and change them to your own.
  3. The layout is spelled out piece by piece: a weather icon just below it, then the date "OCT 19" in very small type. Keep that structure and change only the content, or the model loses track of the page.

Style prompt guide

Style traits to keep

A stylised isometric diorama pairs miniature city landmarks with integrated meteorological data in a clean mobile card format. Nano Banana 2.1 renders crisp typography directly onto the 3D scene without blurring the small numbers, while soft materials and gentle reflections keep the miniature buildings readable against the plain studio backdrop.

The miniature weather card style blends toy-like 3D craft with precise UI typography. Its signature look relies on smooth textures, a fixed vantage point, and disciplined graphic layering.

Composition
A 45-degree isometric angle displays architectural tops and facades simultaneously, anchoring the toy city against an uncluttered, solid pastel backdrop.
Texture
Soft PBR materials give the buildings and vehicles smooth, tactile plastic and stone surfaces with glossy rain reflections rather than gritty real-world dirt.
Light
Diffused studio illumination softens harsh drop shadows, preserving clarity across tiny pedestrians, umbrella domes, and street tracks.
Palette
Muted urban tones pair with vivid signature accents like the yellow tram, all set against a complementary pale blue studio background.

What defines this look

  1. camera and diorama framingVertical isometric 3D miniature cartoon scene of Lisbon seen from a clear 45-degree top-down angle,

    This fixes the diorama perspective and subject layout. Changing the 45-degree isometric instruction can cause standard eye-level perspective or flatten the buildings into 2D graphics.

  2. subject details and shaderswith an old stone riverside tower and a yellow tram in the centre, finely modelled with soft PBR materials and gentle realistic light.

    This establishes Lisbon's recognisable icons while directing the renderer toward smooth, toy-like physical materials instead of rough photorealism or flat vectors.

  3. weather theme and backgroundToday's weather is woven into the city: light rain, wet shining streets and a few open umbrellas. Clean minimal composition on a soft solid pale blue background.

    This integrates the weather effects directly into the geometry and ensures a solid studio backdrop so the scene does not get cluttered by distant horizon details.

  4. text hierarchy and valuesAt the top centre, show the city name "LISBON" in large type, a weather icon just below it, then the date "OCT 19" in very small type and the temperature "17–22°C" in medium type.

    This gives exact string literals and relative type sizes for the header card. Removing these explicit sizes often causes the date to print as large as the city name.

  5. typographic blending ruleThe weather text has no background box and may overlap the buildings slightly.

    This prevents the model from generating an ugly opaque banner or fake UI rectangle across the top of the illustration.

Same style, new subjects

Tokyo Neon Night

Swaps Lisbon for Tokyo with a snowy evening palette and cool navy background.

Prompt

Vertical isometric 3D miniature cartoon scene of Tokyo seen from a clear 45-degree top-down angle, with a busy pedestrian crossing and a ramen cart in the centre, finely modelled with soft PBR materials and gentle realistic light. Today's weather is woven into the city: heavy snowfall, white dusted roofs and glowing lanterns. Clean minimal composition on a soft solid dark navy background. At the top centre, show the city name "TOKYO" in large type, a weather icon just below it, then the date "JAN 14" in very small type and the temperature "-1–3°C" in medium type. The weather text has no background box and may overlap the buildings slightly.

London Autumn Fog

Applies the miniature card aesthetic to an autumnal London scene featuring mist and autumn foliage.

Prompt

Vertical isometric 3D miniature cartoon scene of London seen from a clear 45-degree top-down angle, with a red double-decker bus and classic brick clock tower in the centre, finely modelled with soft PBR materials and gentle realistic light. Today's weather is woven into the city: drifting mist, swirling orange fallen leaves and glowing street lamps. Clean minimal composition on a soft solid warm grey background. At the top centre, show the city name "LONDON" in large type, a weather icon just below it, then the date "NOV 03" in very small type and the temperature "8–12°C" in medium type. The weather text has no background box and may overlap the buildings slightly.

Havana Sunny Coast

Uses bright summer sunlight, tropical pastels, and seaside elements for a warm Caribbean weather card.

Prompt

Vertical isometric 3D miniature cartoon scene of Havana seen from a clear 45-degree top-down angle, with a vintage pink convertible and pastel colonial arches in the centre, finely modelled with soft PBR materials and gentle realistic light. Today's weather is woven into the city: bright sunshine, sharp palm tree shadows and clear coastal breezes. Clean minimal composition on a soft solid pale turquoise background. At the top centre, show the city name "HAVANA" in large type, a weather icon just below it, then the date "JUL 22" in very small type and the temperature "28–34°C" in medium type. The weather text has no background box and may overlap the buildings slightly.

Model and settings

Keep the aspect ratio at 9:16 to give the isometric diorama adequate vertical breathing room for the typographic header above the skyline. Generate at 1k resolution for drafting layouts, and switch to higher resolutions if you need crisp edges on the small date and temperature characters. Use text-to-image mode without input pictures so the model can freely position the 45-degree camera and construct clean miniature geometry.

  • Nano Banana ProChoose Nano Banana Pro when you want complex multi-day forecasts or intricate diagram layouts, taking advantage of its layout planning capabilities.
  • GPT Image 2.5 SunburstUse GPT Image 2.5 Sunburst if you want exceptionally clean typographic rendering and high-contrast numerical readouts at up to 4K resolution.

When the style drifts

The card generates a messy photographic city instead of a cute diorama.
Strengthen the phrasing around materials by ensuring terms like miniature cartoon scene and soft PBR materials remain prominent in the first sentence.
The weather text appears enclosed in a clumsy grey UI box across the top.
Ensure the prompt explicitly states that the weather text has no background box and may overlap the buildings slightly.
The background fills with clouds and horizon clutter instead of a clean graphic cutout.
Keep the phrase soft solid pale blue background intact and remove any generic outdoor sky descriptions.

Questions about this style prompt

How do I change the temperature or date on the card?

Edit the exact text inside the quotation marks in the prompt. Replace OCT 19 and 17–22°C with your preferred numbers while keeping the large, medium, and very small type descriptors to preserve layout hierarchy.

Why does the isometric diorama angle look flat or distorted?

Make sure clear 45-degree top-down angle and isometric remain in the opening phrase. Omitting these words can cause the engine to default to standard street-level camera perspective.

Can I replace the rain with snow or sunny weather?

Yes. Swap out light rain, wet shining streets and a few open umbrellas with your desired conditions, such as fresh powdery snow on rooftops or clear golden sunlight with crisp shadows.
