I tried 7 Nano Banana Pro trends — and Gemini 3’s upgrades are mind-blowing

Prompt: “Create a detailed 3D render of a Funko Pop-style chibi figure based on the uploaded reference photo. Match the person’s hairstyle, clothing, and unique style accurately.”

Perhaps the most fun of the prompts, I started out by turning my daugher who loves to perform into a collectible-style Funko Pop Character. I was impressed by the way Nano Banana Pro captured her look — hairstyle, outfit and overall vibe — but transformed her into a stylized chibi figurine with oversized features and cute proportions.

The result looks like a professional 3D render straight from a toy catalog.

Prompt: “Create a vibrant rhythm-dance game screenshot featuring a 3D animated character based on the uploaded photo. Keep their signature outfit, accessories and overall style, and pose them mid-dance with strong energy.”

I wasn’t sure what to expect here, but I figured I’d prompt Nano Banana to place me into a neon-lit, high-energy rhythm dance game. (Think Dance Dance Revolution or Just Dance.) And without hesitation, it created a 3D animated character of me complete with outfit and accessories.

This prompt highlights the AI’s ability to create dynamic, arcade-style action shots with bright lights, motion and game HUD elements. If you’re a gamer, you’ve got to give this one a try.

Prompt: “Recreate the image from four different camera angles. Keep identity, proportions, clothing, and background consistent with the original photo. Use photorealistic lighting, natural shadows, and high-detail rendering. Output four side-by-side variations.”

Don’t miss these

If you’ve ever wished you’d taken a selfie at a different angle or just want more options for the same picture, give this prompt a try. My cats don’t get along that often, so I had to milk this one image for all I could. This prompt recreated the original image four different ways — each from a new camera perspective.

If you’re a creator who needs multiple view options, alternate poses or different framing without reshooting, I can’t suggest this one enough. It’s a game-changer for storytelling.

Prompt: “Replace [target element] in [Image1] with [new element / reference] (such as another object, person, or scene). Keep all other parts of the image unchanged. Match lighting, perspective, and style for seamless, photorealistic integration.”

Swap out one product for another, or, in my case, change your kids’ bikes into ponies! This powerful prompt switches up a specific element in the image — an object, person or background — while leaving everything else completely untouched.

While ponies are fun, this is a great prompt for fixing photos, customizing scenes, updating backgrounds or replacing items with something more relevant or stylish. The seamless blending makes the final image look natural and untouched.

Prompt: “Take the quilt from the uploaded image and place it neatly on a bed in a photorealistic bedroom scene. Keep the quilt’s colors, patterns, and textures accurate. Drape it naturally across the mattress with realistic folds, shadows, and fabric depth. The bed should have neutral, soft lighting, a simple modern or cozy bedroom setting, and a clean background that doesn’t distract from the quilt.”

This prompt took a quilt my mom made and placed it realistically on a bed. It preserved fabric texture, pattern, colors, and folds to make it look truly integrated into the scene.

This is a good one for crafters or hobbyists on a budget. It gives you the chance to have realistic product photography for your Etsy shop or website. Using this prompt, you’ll get a clean, high-quality lifestyle shot without needing a full photo shoot.

Prompt: “Using the person from the uploaded image, recreate the scene with a completely new weather setting and outfit. Keep the person’s identity, facial features, and proportions consistent.”

Using this prompt, I took an image of me freezing in Colorado and turned it into a sunny, warm one on the beach. It screams “Wish you were here!” without actually being there.

Essentially, the prompt rebuilds the entire scene with new weather conditions — rain, snow, sunshine, fog — including updates to the outfit to match.

It’s another good one for creators who want quick seasonal transformations, travel-style edits or mood changes without actually traveling or waiting for the weather to change.

Prompt: “Using the person from the uploaded image, create a photorealistic aged version of them. Keep their identity, facial structure, hairstyle shape, and defining features consistent while naturally increasing their age 20 years older.”

If you’ve ever wondered what you might look like when you’re older but don’t want to download one of those sketchy apps advertised on social media, give this prompt a try instead. It realistically ages the person in the photo (I requested 20 years older) while keeping their identity completely recognizable.

This is a fun one to do on your kids if you’re curious what they’ll look as an adult.
