Create + Animate an Isometric View of Your Home Town

NOTE: [CITY] = Your City. Size ratio: 1:1

Prompt:
Present a clear, 45° top-down isometric miniature 3D cartoon scene of [CITY], featuring its most iconic landmarks and architectural elements. Use soft, refined textures with realistic PBR materials and gentle, lifelike lighting and shadows. Integrate the current weather conditions directly into the city environment to create an immersive atmospheric mood.
Use a clean, minimalistic composition with a soft, solid-colored background.
At the top-center, place the title “[CITY]” in large bold text, a prominent weather icon beneath it, then the date (small text) and temperature (medium text).
All text must be centered with consistent spacing, and may subtly overlap the tops of the buildings.

2) IMAGE into 16:9 ratio (ready for animation)
Prompt (works with Nano Banana Flash / V1 & Pro):
Turn into a 16:9 image ratio using the same background color. Image should be in the middle.

3) ANIMATE: Best results using Veo 3.1 on Replicate or AI Studio
Prompt I used for Naples, FL:
High-fidelity 45-degree isometric animation of a miniature Naples city block, featuring completely empty streets with no vehicles to ensure perfect geometric stability. The ocean water features realistic, gentle fluid simulation that is strictly hard-clipped to the square perimeter, ensuring absolutely no water spills onto the solid background. Green palm trees sway softly in a synchronized breeze, and clouds drift slowly behind the text. The existing title text "Naples, Florida" and weather icon at the top must remain perfectly static and sharp, effectively locked in place. Do not generate any new UI elements, pop-ups, lower-thirds, or floating widgets anywhere in the frame. The buildings and streets remain rigid and non-deforming.

A more universal prompt:
High-fidelity 45-degree isometric animation of a miniature [INSERT LOCATION NAME] city block, featuring completely empty streets with no vehicles to ensure perfect geometric stability. [INSERT NATURAL ELEMENT MOVEMENT HERE, e.g., "The river water flows gently," or "Snow falls softly," or "Trees sway in the breeze"]. All motion is strictly hard-clipped to the square perimeter, ensuring absolutely no visual elements spill onto the solid background. Clouds drift slowly behind the text. The existing title text "[INSERT EXACT TEXT ON IMAGE]" and weather icon at the top must remain perfectly static and sharp, effectively locked in place. Do not generate any new UI elements, pop-ups, lower-thirds, or floating widgets anywhere in the frame. The buildings and streets remain rigid and non-deforming.
