🧠 Pro Tips to Perfect Your Tech Art

• Invoke lighting specifics such as “cold tungsten,” “holographic glow,” “backlit silhouette”
• Specify materials: chrome, carbon fiber, translucent polymers
• Contextualize scenes: urban, rural, industrial to enhance realism
• Iterate angles for devices: macro close-up, wide angle, isometric
• Use “cinematic” or “concept art” tags for polished finishes and dramatic framing

❓ FAQ: Future-Tech Creations in AI

Q1: Are these images usable commercially in the U.S.?
Yes—with a commercial MidJourney subscription, you own the generated images. Just avoid trademarked designs.

Q2: How can I ensure consistency across scenes?

Use the same tags especially "--v 5", "--style 4c", consistent descriptors and copy them across prompts to preserve visual language.

Q3: What aspect ratio is best for widescreen sci-fi art?
Use --ar 16:9 for cinematic cityscapes or environment art, --ar 9:16 for device or portrait orientation.

Q4: My images look too glossy—how to fix?
Add descriptors like “matte finish,” “soft ambient lighting,” or “diffused texture” to reduce boring shine.

Q5: How do I enhance detail on small objects?
Use “macro detail,” “ultra-detailed 8K,” “sharp high resolution.” You can also crop the object and upscale.
