# JSON Retexture Prompt (C4D 3D Render)

> JSON prompt template to restyle images into glossy 3D renders

A structured JSON prompt template designed for tools like Midjourney and GPT-4o to retexture existing images into Cinema 4D-style 3D renders. It defines materials, lighting, geometry, and a specific color palette to produce consistent visual assets across an entire series.

## The prompt

Prompt: Retexture the image attached based on the json below

{

"style": "C4D hyper-realistic 3D render",

"object\_form": "detailed mechanical design",

"geometry": { "shape": "sharp edges with smooth curves", "scale": "real-world proportion", "detailing": "high-poly mesh with intricate mechanical features" },

"material": { "base": "polished plastic and carbon fiber", "texture": "fine surface variation with specular maps", "finish": "high gloss with realistic reflections" },

"design\_elements": { "decals": "subtle branding and panel lines", "surface\_effects": "anodized gradients, emissive lighting elements", "aero\_parts": "spoilers, splitters, and aggressive styling cues" },

"color\_scheme": { "primary": "\#0ae2c0", "secondary": "\#111111", "accents": \["\#ffffff", "\#e00000"\], "reflections": "real-world HDRI light environment", "background": "\#ffffff" },

"lighting": { "type": "studio 3-point with HDRI", "intensity": "balanced with key fill and rim lights", "shadows": "soft, subtle contact shadow under object", "highlights": "strong specular reflections on curves" },

"rendering": { "engine": "Cinema 4D Redshift or Octane", "resolution": "ultra high-definition (4K+)", "focus": "object-centered with floating illusion", "background\_blur": "none" },

"composition": { "layout": "centered in frame", "object\_count": 1, "orientation": "three-quarter front view", ... }

}

( JSON is truncated at 'orientation' in the source tweet; author links to more JSON prompts in the thread.)

## Why it was saved

- [@egeberkina, 7 August 2025](https://x.com/egeberkina/status/1953479810098852050): Turns any attached image into a polished product-render style object with a fixed brand palette, so a whole series (telescope, rover, shuttle, planet, astronaut) keeps one coherent look.
