Prompt: 3D Spherical Ecosystem Constellation with Gravity-Defying Orbital Layout: CORE NUCLEUS (Center of the Sphere): Subject: One large, highly detailed [3D_FIGURE_TYPE - e.g., 3D character, hyper-realistic object, stylized figurine] of "[CENTER_NAME]" suspended in absolute center.

Pose/Action: Dynamic floating pose, commanding presence, facing forward but dimensional.

Visual Effect: Emitting a soft inner glow, acting as the gravitational center.

Size: Largest element (100% scale), focal point of the sphere.

INNER ORBITAL SHELL ([NUMBER] core relationships): Arrangement: Floating in a tight 3D sphere immediately surrounding the core (distributed in X, Y, and Z axes - above, below, and beside the core).

Item 1: [Name] ([Category]) - [Description of 3D Figure/Object], [Color Theme], floating at [Position, e.g., upper right].

Item 2: [Name] ([Category]) - [Description of 3D Figure/Object], [Color Theme], floating at [Position, e.g., lower left].

Item 3: [Name] ([Category]) - [Description of 3D Figure/Object], [Color Theme], floating at [Position].

[Continue...] Size: Medium-large figures, approx 60-70% size of the core.

Orientation: All figures slightly angled towards the center core as if looking at or orbiting it.

OUTER ORBITAL SHELL ([NUMBER] extended network): Arrangement: A wider, dispersed cloud of elements forming the outer boundary of the sphere.

Item A: [Name] ([Category]) - Smaller [3D Figure/Object], orbiting in the distance.

Item B: [Name] ([Category]) - Smaller [3D Figure/Object], orbiting in the distance.

[Continue...] Size: Smaller figures, approx 40-50% size of the core, creating a sense of depth and vastness.

SPHERICAL CONNECTIONS & DYNAMICS: Connection Style: Thin, glowing [Color] filaments or data streams connecting the Inner/Outer items back to the Center Core (like a neural network or star constellation).

Spatial Depth: Strong depth of field effect.

Items in the back are slightly blurred; items in front are sharp.

Motion: Subtle "orbital trails" or "motion blur" indicating slow rotation around the center.

MATERIAL & STYLE SPECIFICATIONS: Figure Style: [Style Description - e.g., Pixar-style 3D render, Claymorphism, Cyberpunk metallic, Low-poly, High-fidelity realistic].

Material: [Material - e.g., Matte plastic, subsurface scattering skin, glossy ceramic, holographic projection].

Lighting: Global illumination with rim lighting to separate figures from the background.

A key light source emanating from the Center Core.

Background: A spherical void or clean studio space.

[Color] gradient vignette.

Typography: Floating 3D text labels hovering near each figure (billboard style), modern sans-serif font.

Overall Mood: [Mood keywords - e.g., Connected, Ethereal, Tech-savvy, Harmonious].

BACKGROUND AMBIENCE: Environment: 360-degree spatial feeling (zero gravity).

Watermark/Theme: Large, faint holographic text "[THEME_KEYWORDS]" curving along the back of the sphere (dome shape), low opacity.

Particles: Floating dust particles or sparkles to enhance the 3D volumetric feel.
