15 easy prompts to create 3D in Google Nano Banana

- Prompt (Physics Simulation): “A car driving on a wet road at sunset with realistic reflections and puddles.” (Tip: Seedream leads in prompt following—specify “physics-accurate shadows”; Nano Banana for aesthetics: “cinematic golden hour glow.”)
- Superhero Action Figure– Upload a reference image of a real action figure (e.g., from Marvel Select) if editing mode; specify “4K upscaling” for pro outputs. This prompt excels in both tools for viral 3D figurine trends.
- 3D Video Game Character – Upload a reference image of a real action figure, give prompt- standing on a platform in a pixelated environment, with video game props.
- Retro Makeover: [Upload portrait] “Turn this into a 90s grunge style mall studio portrait, faded colours.” (Tip: Nano Banana’s stylistic win—add “vintage filter”)
