How it works ๐ธ
There are two tools, and each one does one job:
- ๐ผ ChatGPT makes the still image: you, from directly above, surrounded by flowers.
- ๐ Higgsfield animates it into the LiDAR transition, using a ready-made preset called
/LIDAR.
You connect Higgsfield to ChatGPT once. After that, everything happens inside ChatGPT.
Part 1 โ One-time setup: connect Higgsfield to ChatGPT ๐
- Open the Plugins Directory in ChatGPT. Or go to higgsfield.ai/mcp and click Connect to ChatGPT.
- Find Higgsfield and select Add.
- Sign in to your Higgsfield account and approve the connection.
ChatGPT uses the official Higgsfield plugin, so there's no server address to paste. Every generation uses your Higgsfield credits.
Part 2 โ Make the effect ๐ฌ
step 1Step 1 โ Make the flower image
- Open ChatGPT and choose the strongest image model you have. Astra if your plan shows it.
- Upload your selfie.
- Paste Prompt 01 (below) and hit generate.
Check that it's still your face, the camera is directly overhead, and there are flowers on every side. If the face has drifted, reply "Keep my exact face from the selfie."
Step 2 โ Turn it into the LiDAR video
- Save that image, then upload it in a new chat.
- In the message box, type
@, select Higgsfield, then type/LIDARand send. - ChatGPT opens the Lidar transition preset with your image already loaded. Tap Recreate in the widget to start generating.
- Wait for it to finish. That's your LiDAR clip.
The preset outputs 9:16 at 720p by default. You can choose other resolutions (480p, 1080p, 4K) and aspect ratios in the widget before you tap Recreate.
Prompt 01 โ The flower image ๐ผ
Use in Step 1 ยท ChatGPT ยท 9:16
Create a photorealistic vertical 9:16 overhead flat-lay photograph matching the reference composition exactly. A young adult man is lying flat on his back directly on a dense bed of blooming lilies and green foliage, viewed from a perfectly straight-down 90-degree overhead camera angle. His body is centered vertically in the frame, with his head near the upper-middle and his torso extending toward the bottom of the frame. He is wearing a plain oversized beige/taupe hoodie with the hood resting naturally behind his neck. The hoodie has realistic thick cotton/fleece texture, natural folds, soft wrinkles and slightly oversized sleeves. His arms are folded/crossed comfortably across his stomach and lower chest, exactly as in the reference. He has thin rectangular metal-frame glasses and is looking directly upward into the camera with a calm, neutral, slightly serious expression. Keep the face natural and realistic, with authentic skin texture, subtle pores and natural facial proportions. If a character/reference face is provided, preserve that exact face and identity โ do not replace it with a random face. Surrounding him on all sides is a dense natural arrangement of large white and pale pink lilies, mixed with unopened lily buds, dark green leaves and realistic stems. Flowers are positioned very close around his head, shoulders, arms and body, creating the impression that he is lying inside a flower garden. Some flowers partially enter the edges of the frame. Composition * Exact 90ยฐ bird's-eye / top-down camera * No perspective tilt * No diagonal camera angle * Man perfectly centered * Full upper body visible from head down to approximately his knees/lower body * Face positioned around the upper third of the image * Flowers densely filling the entire background * Symmetrical, visually balanced composition * Camera relatively close to the subject * Do not create a portrait-style side angle or three-quarter angle Lighting & realism Soft natural outdoor daylight, slightly diffused, realistic shadows between the flowers and hoodie, natural skin tones, realistic fabric texture, realistic botanical details, subtle depth between flowers, professional photography, high dynamic range, sharp facial detail, realistic lens rendering. The final image must look like a real photograph taken with a professional camera, not CGI, not illustration, not 3D render, not AI artwork. Strict constraints Do not change the pose. Do not uncross the arms. Do not make him sit or stand. Do not add objects or props. Do not add text or typography. Do not add jewelry. Do not add a blanket or mattress. Do not change the beige hoodie. Do not cover the face with flowers. Do not use a different camera angle. Do not make the flowers oversized or artificial-looking. Do not stylize the image. Do not alter the reference person's facial identity if a reference image is supplied. Photorealistic, natural camera photograph, 9:16 vertical composition, exact overhead flat-lay composition.
Make it yours: the prompt describes Adam's look. Before you send it, swap "young adult man", the beige hoodie and the glasses to match you โ or delete the glasses line if you don't wear them. Update the matching constraint lines too, such as "Do not change the beige hoodie." You can also change the flowers. Roses, sunflowers and wildflowers all work.
