Turn a reference scene into a tiny planet
Wrap a scene around a small spherical world while naming the landmarks that should remain recognizable.
Tools: An image editor that accepts reference images; recorded example uses Codex built-in image generation
What to provide
- Attach a photo you own or have permission to edit. The displayed defaults use our synthetic courtyard reference.
Example Recorded test output
Input
Use the attached image as the reference and edit target. Reimagine its scene as one tiny-planet composition: a continuous round ground sphere in the center, with the buildings and vegetation curving outward around its upper rim and open sky surrounding the sphere. Keep the central round stone fountain, ochre house on the left, coral house on the right, teal shutters, terracotta paving and olive tree on the right recognizable through their colors and shapes, while allowing their geometry and viewpoint to change. Use soft natural daylight, blue sky and restrained warm village colors. Keep the entire planet inside the frame with a generous sky margin. Do not add a glass dome, second planet, people, text, logos, borders or watermarks. Return one landscape 3:2 image. This is a synthetic scene transformation, not an accurate map or a recovered 360-degree photograph.
Output
The paving forms a round floating world with sky around it. The fountain, house colors, teal shutters and right-hand tree remain recognizable. Rooflines tilt and small vegetation and paving details are reconstructed; this is not an exact geometric projection.
Tool settings
One landscape 3:2 still image. Use the aspect-ratio controls supported by your tool; no particular model or seed is required or claimed.
Improve the result
- Return to the original reference and correct one specific detail while retaining the other instructions. This follow-up is untested.
Choose the change before editing
This prompt changes one aspect of a reference image. Our photo-effects guide explains how to choose between geometry, miniature composition and relighting. The source and result are generated illustrations of a fictional courtyard.
