Ready to try it yourself? Here are 10 viral prompts that are getting the most attention in the Google Gemini app:
The Digital 3D model:
This is the most trending prompt at present. To create such image, write your prompt aas (change your gender as per your wish and other requirements)- “A hyper-realistic 3D-rendered collectible figurine of a subject in a specific style, in a dynamic pose. The figurine is placed on a desk in front of a computer displaying the digital 3D sculpting process of the subject in Blender. A branded product box featuring the subject’s image and artwork is also on the desk. Highly detailed textures, lifelike proportions, dynamic pose, and realistic lighting. Studio-quality photography with sharp focus, reflections on the glass base, and soft ambient light illuminating the workspace. The background includes a modern keyboard, mouse, books, and monitor, emphasizing the creative process of digital to physical 3D modeling.”

The Classic Collectible:
This prompt started the trend. Upload a picture and try: “A highly detailed 1/7 scale figurine of the character in the picture, dressed in an adventurous outfit with a vest, shorts, and boots. The figurine stands on a wooden desk with a clear plastic toy packaging box beside it.”

Pet Power:
Turn your furry friend into a mini superhero. Use a photo of your pet and a prompt like: “Create a realistic 1/6 scale figurine of the dog in the picture, dressed in a classic superhero costume with a flowing cape. Place the figurine on a display stand with a city skyline backdrop.”

Retro Video Game:
Go back to the 16-bit era. “Using the Nano Banana model, turn the person in this photo into a 16-bit video game character. Show them standing on a 2D platform with a classic pixelated green hill and clouds.”

Sci-Fi Hologram:
Create a futuristic, glowing image. “Turn the object in this image into a 3D transparent line art hologram. The hologram should be glowing with a soft blue light and floating above a sleek, futuristic pedestal.”

Time Traveler:
See yourself in a different decade. “Transform me into a 1970s disco dancer. Give me a vibrant, bell-bottom jumpsuit and big hair. Place me on a retro dance floor with a disco ball hanging above.”

Anime Hero:
Become a character straight out of a Japanese animation. “A realistic 1/7 scale figurine of a cute anime girl, dressed in a detailed sailor-style school uniform, stands on a clear acrylic base. Her hair is tied back in a ponytail, and she holds a magical staff.”

Art Gallery:
Place yourself inside a famous painting. “Place me inside Vincent van Gogh’s ‘The Starry Night.’ Paint me in the same swirling brushstroke style, standing under the starry sky.”

Fantasy Creature:
Create a mythical figurine. “A realistic 1/7 scale figurine of a small, winged dragon, intricately detailed with scales and powerful claws, stands on a clear acrylic base atop a rugged, fantasy-style desk.”

Fictional Friend:
Join your favorite TV or movie cast. “Create a realistic image of me sitting with Jerry, Elaine, George, and Kramer in Jerry’s apartment from the show ‘Seinfeld.’ Place me on the couch, laughing with the group.”

World Explorer:
Put yourself in a lifelike photo at a world landmark. “Take this photo of me and place me standing in front of the Eiffel Tower in Paris. Make it look realistic, with accurate lighting, shadows, and perspective.”
