Photoreal cinematic CGI with Western proportions
Realistic 3D is photoreal cinematic computer graphics: physically based materials, subsurface skin, filmic lighting, and Western live-action facial proportions. It is not cel-shaded Chinese 3D fantasy and not 2D superhero ink. Characters look like stills from a high-end CGI feature — sculpted dimensional forms, no ink contours, no comic halftone, no oversized anime eyes. Skin reads as living tissue rather than a flat paint fill. Cloth, metal, wet asphalt, and glass keep their own material response instead of collapsing into one cartoon texture.
Use it for grounded Western action, contemporary rooftop drama, military or urban sci-fi, and any story that should feel filmed rather than drawn. Keep costumes, architecture, and faces live-action; leave hanfu, jade peaks, and cultivation glow to Xianxia and 3D Donghua. A dusk city skyline, a rain-wet street argument, or a close portrait under warm key and cool fill all belong here. The camera language is cinematic: shallow depth of field, rim light, practical neon, and believable contact shadows. Do not reach for capes, speed lines, or ink-wash mountains — those belong to American Superhero and the cultivation styles.
This look is strongest when the scene could exist as a live-action plate. Faces stay adult and naturalistic. Hair has strand catchlights instead of cel clumps. Jackets wrinkle at the elbow. Night rain beads on a railing. If the prompt wants martial-arts robes, glowing swords, or palace clouds, pick Xianxia or 3D Donghua instead. If it wants punchy comic inking, pick American Superhero. Realistic 3D is the photoreal Western CGI slot in a manga catalog, not a second Donghua and not a painted comic page.
