Acceptance criteria
3 bans · 3 fail conditions
Check each frame against these: bans must not appear at all, and any fail condition voids the result.
Anchor
The key visual is the only anchor: paper thickness, palette, and shadow direction are set by it; a new subject must obey the same physical constraints.
Bans · prepended to the prompt by priority
01
no forms beyond the thickness and stiffness of paperA sagging curved surface gives the trick away
02
no metal, no glass, no mirror reflectionsReflection makes the material read as a 3d render
03
no short hard-edged shadowsShadows must stay long and soft, or the miniature set loses its volume
Fail conditions
✗
no crease lines or cut paper edges anywhere
✗
shadow shorter than one third of the object height
✗
more than six color blocks in the frame
Pass threshold
It should read as a handmade object you could really pick up — and crease.
