About the Photorealistic CGI style
Visual characteristics
Photorealistic CGI in modern tentpole-VFX quality. Indistinguishable from live-action with path-traced global illumination. Subsurface scattering on skin with 3-layer epidermis simulation, strand-based hair grooms with 100,000+ strands. Physically-based materials: skin, metal, fabric micro-fiber detail. Hollywood VFX blockbuster production quality, ACES color management with rec.709 output.
Color palette
Colors specified in the preset recipe, not a guarantee for every generated frame.
- #deb887

Adapt the preset recipe
Select and copy the recipe below as a starting point. In Storyboard, choose My styles, create a custom style and open Advanced mode. Adapt the wording to your scene and the editor's 1,000-character limit; a Studio preset is not imported automatically. Camera and film references describe the intended look, not equipment used to create the preview or guaranteed animation.

Plan shots in the Photorealistic CGI look
Step 1: Study the visual recipe
Compare the Photorealistic CGI still preview with the visual notes below. Choose which lighting, palette and framing cues belong in your shot list.
Step 2: Build your storyboard
Open a new Storyboard, add your script and character references, then choose its style separately. To adapt this recipe, paste it into a custom style in Advanced mode.
Step 3: Review before video
Review the generated frames for continuity. A still does not specify motion, pacing or audio; plan those as separate decisions for your video.
