Identical meeting rooms on both sides with glass walls, showing empty chairs and whiteboards with smudged dry-erase marks. A single turned-over swivel chair in the middle distance. No windows, no exits visible. Subtle chromatic aberration, slight vignette, dust particles floating in the light beams. Liminal space, unsettling repetition, claustrophobic yet vast. | Photorealistic image of an abandoned indoor swimming pool at dawn. Murky, motionless water reflecting the cracked tile walls. Mosaic tiles missing in patches, revealing dark, damp concrete. Staggered ceiling with exposed pipes and broken skylights, through which pale milky light falls unevenly.

Bare concrete walls with orange plastic netting hanging loose. A single digital departure board displaying scrambled text and “DELAYED” in red. Dusty yellow safety line on the platform edge. Endless tunnel stretching into absolute blackness, with only two dim emergency lights revealing scattered construction tools – a hard hat, a coffee cup, a rolled blueprint. Slight rust on the steel columns. Mist from tunnel ventilation visible. Liminal transition space, oppressive emptiness, low-angle perspective. | Photorealistic image of a narrow, windowless hallway connecting two sections of a closed-down 1980s arcade. Peeling pastel wallpaper with neon geometric patterns. Faded red carpet with black star sprinkles, stained by decades of spilled soda. A single coin-operated machine (dead monitor, dark screen) leaning against the wall. Wall-mounted telephones with dial tones absent. Fluorescent blacklight strips illuminating unnoticed handprints on the walls. At the far end, a half-open door revealing only another identical hallway. Soft focus, warm to cool color gradient, dust motes suspended in air, liminal nostalgia, uncanny stillness. |
Gemini tips
Flux.2 Klein: This model is incredible at text and hyper-fine detail. If you want a specific "Exit" sign or a brand name on a vending machine, just add it to the prompt.
ERNIE & Qwen: These models often have a great eye for "atmosphere." Use keywords like “cinematic lighting” or “nostalgic” to trigger their aesthetic biases.
Z Image Turbo: Known for speed and structural integrity—it’s great for the straight lines found in architectural liminality.
Grok tips
- For Flux.2 Klein and Qwen: Remove the --ar and --stylize parts and keep the prompt very descriptive.
- For ERNIE / Z Image Turbo: You can keep most of the prompt as-is or add "masterpiece, best quality" at the beginning.
- Add "no people, no humans, empty" if the model tends to add figures.
GLM 5
- For Flux.2 Klein & Qwen Image: These models strictly adhere to text. If you add
--no peopleor try to use a separate negative prompt box, it helps, but the phrase "No people" embedded naturally in the prompt (as done above) is highly effective. - For ERNIE & Z Image Turbo: Because these are Chinese-native models, they have exceptionally good understanding of spatial geometry and architectural terms. If you are inputting them in their native Chinese interfaces, translating the camera specs (e.g., "Kodak Portra 400" to "柯达Portra 400胶片") and lighting (e.g., "fluorescent" to "荧光灯") will yield even more photorealistic results than the English text.
- Aspect Ratio: Liminal spaces look best in either 16:9 (wide, emphasizing emptiness) or 9:16 (vertical, emphasizing depth and infinite drop-offs). Adjust your generation settings accordingly.
Qwen
- Aspect Ratio:
--ar 16:9or--ar 3:2works best for architectural liminal scenes. - Negative Prompts (if supported):
people, text, logos, clutter, cartoon, illustration, painting, oversaturated, dramatic lighting, horror, fantasy, CGI, 3D render - Sampling/Steps: 30–50 steps, CFG 5–7 (lower CFG often preserves photorealism better in modern models)
- Seed Control: Lock seeds when iterating to maintain composition while tweaking lighting/atmosphere
- Post-Processing: Slight film grain (+2–4%), minor contrast lift, and desaturation (-5 to -10%) enhance the liminal photorealistic feel without breaking AI coherence.
Kimi
ERNIE Image Turbo: Prefers explicit technical terms (8K, hyper-detailed) and atmospheric keywords
Z Image Turbo: Responds well to architectural descriptors and lighting specifications
Flux.2 Klein: Excels with material texture descriptions and mood/atmosphere emphasis
Qwen Image: Works best with photography-style framing and specific aesthetic references (e.g., "backrooms," "vintage")
