snow ice leaves on deck garbage three callouts for plan view 1 true orthographic top down negative prompt blocks isometric 3d most ai renderers default to a tilted bird s eye when you say top down this phrasing forces a true directly overhead capture 2 soft directional shadows from upper right pure flat overhead light kills the depth read a slight raking shadow lets you actually see the pergola batten lines planter heights and chair forms 3 cars in muted colours capped at 4 5 keeps the road reading as a quiet boutique address not a parking lot negative prompt explicitly bans parking lot full of cars and trucks vans taxis so the renderer doesn t dump a chaotic urban street up there one question before you render is north up in the image as drawn which is the road side opposite the lawn drive or is the lake actually on the south side lawn side and the road on the north top of image if the lake is south where the lawn currently is i d swap the bottom of the prompt to show the lake instead of just lawn that planview becomes much stronger as a sales graphic with water visible at one edge
