Turning references into prompts
Use concept art as a brief, not as an upload.

Forge is text-only. Use a reference image to write a sharper prompt instead of uploading it.
- 1
Pick one clean reference
One object, plain background, the whole object in frame.
- 2
Describe the silhouette
Name the biggest shapes and how they connect.
- 3
Describe the surface
Material, wear, colour and the details that matter most.
- 4
Refine in words
Ask for one change at a time: 'thicker legs', 'shorter barrel'.
