Turn ordinary photos into glowing cyberpunk cyberware scenes with neon volumetric lighting and futuristic HUDs on Muvi AI.
The Retro Arcade effect transforms standard photos into a cohesive, studio-grade video experience. Powered by the Muvi Cinematic Neural Engine, this workflow analyzes the uploaded subject's geometry, extracts facial landmarks, and renders a photorealistic scene complete with authentic lighting and thematic depth.
Instead of applying a flat color filter, the neural diffusion pipeline reconstructs the entire scene: background textures, wardrobe styling, ambient reflections, and particle dynamics are generated around your subject while preserving their distinct likeness.
This effect is driven by a multi-stage generation graph in the Muvi creation studio:
1. Select the Effect: Open Retro Arcade from the Muvi Effects catalog. 2. Upload Your Source: Provide a crisp, well-lit photo of your subject or product. 3. Customize Prompts (Optional): Use the pre-configured prompt or tweak camera movements and lighting notes in the studio prompt box. 4. Render: Click Apply Effect. The generation queue processes your request within seconds. 5. Download & Share: Export your watermark-free video in full high definition.
