# Blue Glass 3D Style

A photorealistic 3D render with blue glass material. Objects should have:

- Solid black background
- Soft studio lighting from above-left
- Sharp shadows

- Highlights: Light cyan (#7fdbff)
- Background: Pure black (#000000)

## Technical Notes
- Use ray-traced rendering appearance

Usage

# Apply style to generation
uv run python main.py out.png "gear icon" --style styles/glass.md

# Combine with reference
uv run python main.py out.png "cube" --style styles/glass.md --ref prev.png

Style vs Reference

Both can be combined for best results.

Security Notes

Style files are validated for potential injection patterns:

• No bash/shell code blocks
• No variable expansion (${ })
• No command substitution ($( ))
• No shell operators (& | ; `)

Suspicious patterns generate warnings but don't block creation.

Writing Effective Styles

1. Be Specific: "Soft watercolor washes with visible paper texture"
2. Include Colors: Hex codes ensure consistency
3. Describe Mood: "Mysterious, slightly unsettling"
4. Technical Details: Lighting, camera angle, rendering style
5. Keep It Focused: One style per file
