GPT-6 AstraReference brief
Golden-hour Roman battlefield set piece
A detailed Blender task for a realistic golden-hour Roman battlefield scene based on a supplied concept image. It specifies a boulder-ringed 1v1 arena, detailed bump-mapped ground, procedural assets where possible, a golden-hour skybox, harsh shadows, reusable GLB assets, and delivery of the .blend file plus a build timelapse.

The prompt
THE TASK
Build a golden-hour Roman battlefield set piece in Blender from the supplied concept image. Generation is allowed. You may generate 3D models for the environment and its parts with the available generation tools (Tripo on https://t.co/JV0K8OtuWC) and assemble them. Everything must still form one coherent scene: matched scale, consistent materials, and unified lighting. Requirements: Use bump maps on the ground and keep the ground highly detailed.
Create a circular empty spot on the ground with large boulders around it to form a 1v1 arena.
Render everything realistically.
Create assets procedurally where possible.
Create a skybox for golden-hour sky.
Use harsh shadows.
Reuse objects (flags, banners, helms, rocks, etc.). Export a GLB for every object and reuse those assets.
Match the supplied image as closely and accurately as possible.
TIMELAPSE REQUIREMENT
While you build, save a viewport screenshot into a numbered timelapse/ folder after every meaningful addition (each new object, modifier pass, material step, and lighting step, in order). When the work is finished, assemble those frames into a timelapse video at 2 fps (0.5 s per frame) so the full build can be watched from start to finish. Deliver the timelapse video with the main files.
DELIVERABLES
The .blend file, with camera and viewport set so the view exactly matches the original image.
The build timelapse video.
How to use this prompt
Choose one thing to change
Swap the subject, art style or setting. Keep the camera and interaction clear. Build a small version first, then refine one detail at a time.
Give the scene its own assets
For a custom character or prop, create a 3D model from a short object description or reference image, then bring it into your project.
