enhance realism while maintaining the existing layout and materials the ceiling should read as a clean 3 step pop up detail three tier tray ceiling this means a large outer ceiling plane a second recessed step inside a third smaller recessed center step each level should be flat rectangular and clearly defined not curved not blended and not broken into multiple small steps the transitions between each step should be sharp and linear with consistent offsets between each level use soft directional lighting to create subtle shadow lines at each step transition so all three levels are clearly visible and dimensional avoid any waviness scalloping or excessive layering keep the geometry simple architectural and intentional maintain all existing materials but enhance realism so surfaces read true to life with slight variation and natural shadowing critical direction the ceiling must read as one clean 3 tier stepped pop up not multiple steps not curves and not decorative patterns
