3D Cover images

It was asked on another channel if anyone had tried this site for 3d Mockups https://trythreed.com/m/novellas

These are a breeze and no reason to pay any service. I sent this answer there so I'm sharing it here to.. and of course... something new to add to WCP's image tools

so I just tried this in chatgpt with this:

i need a prompt to put a cover image on a 3d mockup of a book or a series box of an [x] number of books. it needs to create a spine with the title and authors name from the cover image. the book size is a standard 6x9 paperback book with a 1/2" thick spine. the view should b 3/4 view showing the spine at the left of the cover image. can you give me the prompt and create the image?

It gave me the second image below. ( I should have said on a white background)

So i asked: "can i have the prompt that created this?"

Absolutely. Here is the prompt that created the mockup, cleaned up slightly so it’s easier to reuse:

Create a cinematic, high-end photorealistic 3D paperback book mockup using the uploaded cover image as the exact front-cover artwork.

The physical book is a standard 6 × 9 inch trade paperback with an approximately 0.5-inch spine.

Show the book standing upright in a three-quarter view, with the spine clearly visible on the LEFT side of the front cover. The front cover should remain the dominant visible surface.

Preserve the uploaded cover artwork faithfully:

Deep red and black leather-like texture
Ornate antique gold corner filigree
Crimson occult/ritual compass design
Large silver-white title typography
Red ampersand and decorative flourishes
Gold subtitle
Framed author-name panel

Do not redesign or substantially alter the original cover.

Create a matching professionally designed spine based on the cover artwork.

The spine should have:

Matching worn black and deep-red leather texture
Subtle antique gold ornamentation
The title “BLOOD & SHADOWS”
The subtitle “THE LEGACY”
The author name “MICHAEL CULP”
Typography and decorative styling that visually match the front cover
A small tasteful occult compass/sigil ornament near the bottom

Orient the spine typography conventionally for a U.S. paperback and keep all lettering crisp, readable, correctly spelled, and professionally typeset.

Show realistic cream-colored page edges along the top and side of the book. Give the paperback subtle rounded edges and believable physical thickness.

Environment

Place the book on a dark, aged wooden tabletop partially covered with old map-like parchment.

Surround it with subtle atmospheric props:

Antique leather-bound books in the blurred background
A brass compass or astrolabe near the foreground
A softly glowing candle to one side
Hints of antique scholarly or occult-library objects

The props should support the mood without distracting from the book.

Lighting

Use warm cinematic studio lighting with:

Soft golden candlelight
Warm highlights along the book edges
Deep atmospheric shadows
Subtle rim lighting
Realistic contact shadow beneath the book
Shallow depth of field
Soft background bokeh

Camera

Premium commercial product-photography composition.

Three-quarter camera angle
Approximately 25–35 degrees from straight-on
Slightly elevated eye-level viewpoint
70–85mm product-photography lens appearance
Sharp focus on the front cover and spine
Background softly blurred

Overall mood

Dark gothic fantasy, occult mystery, antique luxury, cinematic supernatural thriller.

The final image should resemble a professionally photographed physical book used for:

Amazon advertising
Author websites
Book launch graphics
Social-media promotion
Publisher marketing

Critical requirements:

Preserve the recognizable original front cover.

Keep the spine on the left.

Maintain realistic 6 × 9 × 0.5-inch proportions.

Do not distort the typography.

Do not invent extra book titles, publisher names, or promotional text.

For a reusable version, replace:

“BLOOD & SHADOWS” → [BOOK TITLE]

“THE LEGACY” → [SUBTITLE / SERIES NAME]

“MICHAEL CULP” → [AUTHOR NAME]

And for multiple books, change the opening line to:

Create a cinematic, high-end photorealistic 3D box-set mockup containing exactly [X] separate 6 × 9 paperback books, each approximately 0.5 inches thick, using the supplied cover images as the exact front artwork for each volume.
