Introduction
Nano Banana Pro is an advanced AI image generation model known for its high-fidelity output and "reasoning image engine" capable of handling complex, multi-step instructions. One of the fascinating applications of such powerful AI is the ability to breathe life into inanimate objects.
In this post, we share a specific prompt designed to transform a photograph of a plastic collectible figure into a photorealistic image of a human cosplayer. This transformation goes beyond simple style transfer; it involves re-texturing surfaces, realistic anatomical adjustments, and material conversion while strictly maintaining the original pose and composition.
The Prompt
Here is the prompt you can use with Nano Banana Pro. You should provide the image of the figure as an input reference along with this text.
The attached image is a photograph of a plastic collectible figure. Please transform this image into a photorealistic photograph of a pretty real-life cosplayer portraying this character.
Key instructions:
1. Source Identification: Recognize that the input subject is made of PVC plastic with artificial joints, mold lines, and painted shading.
2. Subject Definition: The output should be a beautiful human cosplayer. Apply delicate, professional-grade makeup that accentuates her features naturally, removing the painted-on look of the toy faces.
3. Transformation: Replace plastic skin with lifelike human skin texture, including pores and subsurface scattering. Turn solid sculpted hair into realistic, styled wigs or real hair.
4. Wardrobe: Convert sculpted plastic clothing into high-quality, realistic cosplay costumes using real fabrics, leathers, and metal textures.
5. Fidelity: Remove all toy joints and seams. Strictly maintain the exact pose, camera angle, and lighting composition of the original figure, rendering the final result as a high-fidelity photo taken with a portrait lens.
Understanding the Instructions
The prompt is structured to guide the AI's reasoning engine through specific steps:
- Source Identification: Explicitly telling the AI that the input is a "plastic collectible figure" helps it understand what not to preserve (joints, mold lines, plastic sheen).
- Subject Definition: Defines the target aesthetic ("beautiful human cosplayer") to ensure the transition from toy to human is pleasing and realistic.
- Transformation: This is the core technical instruction. It demands a change in material properties—from PVC to organic skin and hair. Mentioning "pores" and "subsurface scattering" cues the model to generate high-frequency details associated with real photography.
- Wardrobe: Similar to the skin transformation, this instructs the AI to interpret sculpted details as real-world materials like fabric and leather.
- Fidelity: Crucial for image-to-image tasks where the composition must remain unchanged. It explicitly forbids changing the pose or lighting, focusing the AI's creativity solely on the materials and subject realism.
By breaking down the request into these clear, numbered constraints, Nano Banana Pro can leverage its reasoning capabilities to produce a result that looks like a high-end cosplay photoshoot rather than a digital painting.
