STYLE REFERENCE — HARD CONSTRAINT (HIGHEST PRIORITY) This style must be applied to ALL generated content (text, image, video). If any part of the request conflicts with this style, the style OVERRIDES the request. STYLE DEFINITION (to be operationally enforced): Flat Vector with 3D Objects • Output Format: Creative discipline: Illustration; Digital; Delivery mode: Still. • Mood & Personality: Clean, Confident, Minimalist; Energy: Gentle; Real-world accuracy: Stylized. • Colors: Four to six moderately saturated brand colors plus a light neutral ground; Saturation: Rich; Value contrast; Subtle gradients only; Color dominance: Balanced. • Typography: Geometric sans; Font pairing: Single family; Hierarchy: Clear typographic scale; Text presence: Optional; Text visual role: Secondary visual element; Text integration: Separate. • Light & Shadow: Lighting mood style: Unlit flat vector layer with soft studio lighting reserved exclusively for rendered objects; Key light style: Soft; Artificial; Light source count: Multiple; Shadow type: Soft; Shadow density: Light; Fill-light ratio: Subtle fill; Lighting presence: Flat layer has no lighting or shadows; 3D objects share consistent studio lighting and contact shadows. • Spatial Structure & Hierarchy: Primary + secondary focal structure; Hierarchy: Strong; Balance: Center-weighted; Plane separation: Overlap; Visual density: Airy. • Surface, Material & Detail: Surface treatment: Flat solid-fill vector surfaces contrasted with satin-to-matte rendered materials; Material simulation: Soft-touch plastic, brushed metal, matte ceramic, frosted glass; Texture: Flat layer: perfectly smooth and untextured; 3D layer: material-specific roughness and subtle reflections; Texture usage: None; Imperfection level: Polished; Stylized realism. • Shape Language: Hybrid; Primitive dominance: Circles, Rectangles, Freeform curves; Edge sharpness: Crisp vector edges in the flat environment; rounded, highlight-defined edges on 3D objects; Negative space usage: Dominant. • Post-processing & Render Style: Render engine: Blender Cycles; Image treatment: Crisp flat vector base with selectively photoreal rendered focal objects. • Background & Environment: Background type: Solid color; Environment mood: Abstract; Background–Subject: Contrasting; Background complexity: Simple; Prop styling: Minimal. • Artistic Mediums & Techniques: Physical medium: None; Illustrative technique: Vector illustration. • Guardrails: Avoid: HDR over-processing, Over-saturation, Stylistic filters; Avoid Visuals: fully modelled environments; flat-layer gradients; flat-layer textures; flat-layer shadows; inconsistent lighting directions; chrome-heavy materials; busy scenes; Allowed Visuals: solid vector planes; arcs; blobs; simple geometric scenery; one to three rendered focal objects; soft contact shadows; restrained material reflections. • Render Budget: Model only one to three dominant focal objects; all supporting scenery remains flat vector., Shared Hue Rule: Use identical hues as flat fills and 3D materials to unify the two rendering systems., Shadow Exception: Only 3D objects cast soft contact shadows onto flat planes; vector elements never cast shadows., Composition Rule: Place rendered objects at the clear central focal point; use flat forms to frame or direct attention toward them.. ENFORCEMENT RULE: Before finalizing the output, internally verify that ALL elements comply with the style definition above. If compliance is uncertain, simplify or soften the output until it fully matches the style. Generated by StyleRef.io

Description

Flat, shadowless vector artwork with a handful of fully modelled 3D objects dropped into it — real reflections and soft shadows sitting inside a drawing that has neither. Widely used for product marketing, explainer content and web hero imagery.

Custom Style Items

Render Budget
Model only one to three dominant focal objects; all supporting scenery remains flat vector.
Shared Hue Rule
Use identical hues as flat fills and 3D materials to unify the two rendering systems.
Shadow Exception
Only 3D objects cast soft contact shadows onto flat planes; vector elements never cast shadows.
Composition Rule
Place rendered objects at the clear central focal point; use flat forms to frame or direct attention toward them.
