Scene Design and Environment Creation
Master professional techniques for creating immersive scenes and environments in AI image generation
Importance of Scene Design
Excellent scene design is key to creating visual impact and emotional resonance in AI image generation. Whether natural landscapes, urban scenes, or fantasy worlds, carefully designed environments provide immersive visual experiences for viewers.
Google Flash Image and Gemini Nano Banana excel in scene generation, but creating truly captivating environments requires mastering professional knowledge of composition principles, lighting techniques, and atmosphere creation.

Composition Principles and Visual Guidance
Foreground Middle Background
Create depth through layered composition
Implementation Points:
- Foreground: Detail-rich close elements
- Middle ground: Main scene and focus
- Background: Distant view and environmental atmosphere
Prompt Reference:
detailed foreground elements, main subject in middle ground, atmospheric background, layered composition
Leading Lines Composition
Use lines to guide viewer attention
Implementation Points:
- Roads, rivers, building edges
- Naturally formed lines
- Artificially constructed geometric lines
Prompt Reference:
leading lines, visual flow, directional elements, guided composition
Framing Composition
Use natural or artificial frames to highlight subjects
Implementation Points:
- Natural frames formed by branches, rocks
- Artificial frames formed by architectural openings
- Virtual frames formed by light and shadow
Prompt Reference:
natural framing, architectural frame, window view, framed composition
Practical Workflow
Concept Design Phase

Key Actions:
Prompt Reference:
concept art, scene planning, mood board, style reference
Composition Planning Phase
Design scene composition and layout
Key Actions:
Prompt Reference:
composition design, visual balance, perspective planning, layout structure
Lighting Design Phase
Design scene lighting and atmosphere

Common Mistakes and Solutions
Lack of Depth Layers
Problem Manifestation:
Scene appears flat, lacking three-dimensional feel
Solution:
Clearly distinguish foreground, middle, background, use atmospheric perspective
Inconsistent Lighting
Problem Manifestation:
Multiple light source directions conflict, chaotic shadows
Solution:
Determine primary light source, maintain lighting logic consistency
Overcrowded Elements
Problem Manifestation:
Too many scene elements, scattered visual focus
Solution:
Simplify composition, highlight main elements, balance negative space
Incorrect Scale Relationships
Problem Manifestation:
Unreasonable object size proportions, lack of realism
Solution:
Reference real-world proportions, add reference objects
