Prompt

Protocol

Targeted continuation of the Organic Chrome campaign, isolating capsule-ended lamella geometry, fan-to-coil topology, emerald optical material, crop, and negative space.

Frozen prompt template

Square 1:1 abstract campaign image, no text or logo. Near-black green-black seamless field. One enormous asymmetrical procedural object occupies only the upper-right and right side: 48 to 72 separate smooth elongated glass lamellae, each a broad flattened capsule-ended ribbon rather than wire. They share a hidden origin beyond the top-right edge, fan leftward in dense parallel arcs, then the lower layers return into a cropped nested coil at bottom-right. The left 45 percent and lower-left remain almost empty darkness. Material is emerald-tinted optical resin with partial liquid-chrome reflection, transparent green body, dark green edges, mint and icy-cyan strip-light highlights, internal refraction, and crisp rounded surfaces. Extreme macro crop, structure exits top and right edges, no horizon or floor. Controlled ray-traced studio lighting, rich blacks, high contrast, slight analog scan softness. Topology priority: stage one is a broad radial fan sweeping from top-right toward center-left; stage two folds underneath and winds into several nested cropped loops at lower-right. The fan and coil are one continuous directional field, not two disconnected objects. Preserve dozens of parallel lanes and a visible open hinge between them. No centered sculpture, wreath, isolated spiral, shell, or flower.
