FAQ
What makes a dinosaur prompt look realistic?
Specify the species, skin texture, lighting, and environment — details like "hyper-detailed scaly skin" or "dramatic side lighting" push the result toward photorealism rather than a generic reptile shape.
Can I create a cartoon-style dinosaur instead of realistic?
Yes, just swap the style descriptor to something like "flat illustration" or "cartoon character" and the AI will follow that direction instead of a photorealistic render.
Can I use these dinosaur images commercially?
Yes, generated images can be used for personal and commercial projects, subject to Pippit's current usage terms.
