Wind-carved dunes around dry shrubs # Wind-carved dunes around dry shrubs - [Model Z-Image-Turbo](/models/z-image-turbo) - Square 1:1 - 1536 × 1536 · XL - 9 steps - Max quality - iPhoneiPadMac ## Prompt and Settings Copy prompt Wind-carved dunes with crescent ridges, dry shrubs, scattered black pebbles, and fine sand ripples. Show a gust lifting a thin veil of sand along the nearest ridge. Place the formation in an open desert basin with distant mesas under a clear sky. Use a square nature camera from knee height facing the dune curve. Light the scene with low golden sun from the left. Create realistic landscape detail with sharp ripples, soft airborne sand, and long shadows. ### Negative Prompt Copy negative prompt text, logos, watermarks, footprints, plastic sand, blurry ridges, oversaturated sky, duplicate sun, noisy shadows Seed 1659416668 Steps 9 Quality Max Size 1536 × 1536 Made With Private Diffusion on a Mac with Apple Silicon Share Make it on your own Mac with 24 GB or more. Nothing you type leaves the device.

Z-Image-Turbo can follow the knee-height camera cue to make the ripples feel close and tactile. Low golden sun from the left is the lighting engine here, drawing shadows across the ridges. Shrubs, pebbles, distant mesas, and airborne sand prevent the scene from becoming an empty pattern study. ## Recreate It in Private Diffusion 1. Paste the prompt into Studio and choose Z-Image-Turbo. 2. Set Size to XL and Aspect Ratio to Square 1:1. 3. Type 1659416668 into Seed. On a Mac, switch off Randomize first. 4. Paste the negative prompt into Negative prompt. 5. Switch off Rewrite description (Rewrite Prompt on a Mac) so Studio keeps the prompt word for word. 6. Switch on Max quality (slower). Those are the settings that made this picture, and they run on your own Mac with 24 GB or more, with nothing uploaded. ## Filed Under - [Nature](/prompts/nature) - [Travel](/prompts/travel) - [Cinematic](/prompts/cinematic) ## More Like This -
