Condensation Detail for Product Photorealism

Overview

When prompting AI image generation for canned or bottled products, explicitly request condensation on the container. This one small detail makes the render look substantially more realistic and is a fast fix for the flat, "too plastic" look that bare product renders otherwise have.

Why it works

Condensation reads as a visual cue of a cold, physical object under real lighting and moisture — a texture cue image models rarely infer unprompted from a plain "product render" request, but that's cheap to specify explicitly in the prompt.

4K Resolution Requirement

Condensation isn't the only realism lever: output resolution is treated as a hard requirement too — 4K is specified whenever a generated product image needs to read as photorealistic, on the same logic as the condensation trick (bare/low-res renders read as 'plastic').
