Geometric Composition

Text-to-Image

“A glass cube on a wooden table. Inside the cube is a small blue sphere. On top of the cube sits a red book. A green plant is behind the cube, partially visible through the glass. Soft window light from the left.”

Qwen Image 2.0 Pro

Vidu Q2

AI Judge Analysis

Qwen Image 2.0 Pro

+ Natural and soft lighting that matches the description
+ Realistic wood texture on the table
+ Clean, minimalist composition

− The blue sphere is levitating unrealistically in the center of the cube
− The cube edges appear more like a frame with mirrors rather than a solid glass object

Vidu Q2

+ Excellent handling of light and shadows, including caustic light through the glass
+ Physics-based object placement with the sphere resting on the bottom surface
+ High level of detail on the book spine and plant leaves

− The glass cube has slightly inconsistent thickness on the vertical edges

Verdict: While both models followed the prompt perfectly, Vidu Q2 is the superior image due to its more realistic physics and lighting. Qwen Image 2.0 Pro features a floating sphere that looks disconnected from the environment, whereas Vidu Q2 handles the complex interactions of light through glass and the reflections of the objects much more convincingly.

Magic Burger Explosion: Fiery Photorealism Challenge

Text-to-Image

“Ad for 'Magic Burger'. Dynamic, exploded burger with all components (bun, patty, cheese, lettuce, tomato, sauce) suspended in mid-air. Emphasize photorealistic detail and a sense of motion. Dark, fiery background with glowing embers. Integrate text: 'MAGIC BURGER' as a prominent title, 'LIMITED TIME ONLY' as a secondary message, and '€6.99' in a starburst, all rendered with a fiery, glowing effect.”

AI Judge Analysis

Qwen Image 2.0 Pro

+ Excellent text rendering with accurate spelling and a clean layout.
+ Superior photorealistic textures on the beef patty and fresh vegetables.
+ Balanced composition with clear separation of all exploded ingredients.

− The starburst sticker looks like a flat graphic overlay compared to the 3D scene.
− The fire effects are mostly confined to the edges and text, showing less dynamic motion in the background.

Vidu Q2

+ Highly dynamic background with intense swirling fire and glowing embers.
+ Creative integration of sauce droplets flying through the air to enhance the sense of motion.
+ Effective use of a glowing starburst that feels more integrated into the lighting of the scene.

− Failed to render the Euro symbol correctly, using a strange double-crossed 'E' instead.
− The cheese and bun have a slightly plastic, less photorealistic appearance compared to Model A.
− The composition feels slightly crowded with the fire overlapping the bottom bun.

Verdict: Qwen Image 2.0 Pro is the winner because it provides a much more professional and clean advertisement layout with perfect text and superior photorealism on the food itself. While Vidu Q2 captured the 'fiery' atmosphere and motion more aggressively, its failure to correctly render the currency symbol and its slightly waxy textures make it less effective as a final product.

Chalkboard Menu

Text-to-Image

“Handwritten-style chalkboard menu in a cozy café, all text rendered in the exact same realistic chalk handwriting style with natural variations in letter size, slight slant, and chalk texture — no printed or digital fonts anywhere on the board. Title at the top in elegant cursive chalk handwriting: ‘TODAY’S SPECIALS – APRIL 30, 2026’. Below it, three menu items also in the same handwritten chalk style: ‘Truffle Mushroom Risotto – $24’, ‘Grilled Octopus with Lemon & Herbs – $28’, ‘Brown Butter Chocolate Chip Cookies – $9’. At the very bottom, smaller text in the identical handwritten chalk style (slightly smaller but still clearly legible with the same handwriting characteristics): ‘All items made fresh daily • Ask about our gluten-free options’. Warm ambient café lighting, visible chalk dust and smudges, realistic handwriting imperfections, no clean printed text anywhere.”

Qwen Image 2.0 Pro

Vidu Q2

AI Judge Analysis

Qwen Image 2.0 Pro

+ Excellent text accuracy with no spelling errors across complex menu items.
+ Perfect adherence to the requested chalk texture and handwriting style.
+ Clean, legible composition that looks like a real cafe menu board.

− The 'elegant cursive' for the title is more of a print-script hybrid than true cursive.

Vidu Q2

+ Strong chalk texture and authentic 'smudge' effects on the blackboard.
+ Good use of color variation in the chalk strokes for a layered look.

− Extreme spelling errors including 'Truffe Musshoom', 'Octopd', and 'Browd Botter'.
− Failed to render the currency correctly for the first item ($34 instead of $24) and garbled the bottom text completely.

Verdict: Qwen Image 2.0 Pro is the clear winner as it successfully rendered every word of the complex prompt with perfect spelling and a highly realistic handwriting style. Vidu Q2 captured a more gritty, artistic chalk aesthetic but failed significantly on legibility, spelling, and following the specific menu details provided.

The Capybara Taxi Driver

Text-to-Image

“Photorealistic scene inside a yellow New York taxi at night. A capybara is driving, wearing a yellow taxi driver cap and a dark jacket. It has a calm, professional expression and both front paws on the steering wheel. In the back seat sits a human businesswoman in a coat, looking at her phone with a completely normal, bored expression (as if this is just another normal ride). Through the windows you can see the streets of Manhattan at night with blurred lights. Realistic taxi interior, photorealistic, detailed fur and fabric, 35mm lens, night lighting with reflections, shallow depth of field.”

Qwen Image 2.0 Pro

Vidu Q2

AI Judge Analysis

Qwen Image 2.0 Pro

+ Natural cinematic lighting and texture
+ Excellent rendering of the capybara's fur and expression
+ Realistic taxi grime and interior details including a 'TLC Licensed' sticker

− The passenger appears to be sitting in the front passenger seat instead of the back seat
− Minor text spelling error in the word 'Licesed'

Vidu Q2

+ Correctly places the passenger in the back seat as requested
+ Clean, high-resolution visual quality
+ Accurate interpretation of the yellow taxi driver cap

− The transition from capybara paws to clothing sleeves is anatomically awkward
− The lighting feels slightly more artificial and less like a real photo compared to Model A

Verdict: Qwen Image 2.0 Pro produces a much more realistic and atmospherically convincing image with superior textures, though it fails to place the passenger in the back seat. Vidu Q2 follows the spatial instructions better by seating the passenger in the rear, but the overall composition feels more like a digital render than a photorealistic scene.

The Halloween Invitation

Text-to-Image

“Vintage gothic Halloween party invitation. Dark parchment poster, spooky border with webs and thorns, central glowing jack-o-lantern, bats, twisted trees, moody night sky. Add elegant gothic title text saying "Halloween Party Invitation", a small scroll banner saying "You are invited to a night of frights", and event details at the bottom: Date: 30.10.2026 Time: 7pm Location: The Arches, NYC Spooky but polished, cinematic lighting, square format.”

Qwen Image 2.0 Pro

Vidu Q2

AI Judge Analysis

Qwen Image 2.0 Pro

+ Perfect text rendering with zero spelling errors.
+ Sophisticated cinematic lighting especially the green glow within the pumpkin.
+ Highly detailed and symmetric border design using thorns and webs.

− The bats are a bit large and compete with the central text for attention.
− The dark background makes the parchment feel less like a 'poster' and more like a scene.

Vidu Q2

+ Strong 'aged parchment' visual texture.
+ Effective use of twisted trees to frame the composition.
+ Classic orange jack-o-lantern color provides good contrast.

− Numerous spelling errors including 'Intovztion', 'invieed', and 'fiigts'.
− Failed to include the requested date (2025 instead of 2026) and time format.
− The border elements overlap the central text in a messy way.

Verdict: Qwen Image 2.0 Pro is the clear winner due to its flawless text execution and superior lighting. Vidu Q2 struggles significantly with typography, resulting in multiple spelling errors and incorrect event details that render the invitation unusable, whereas Qwen followed every instruction perfectly.

Isometric Miniature Diorama Scenes

Text-to-Image

“Create a clear, 45° top-down isometric miniature 3D cartoon scene of Japan's signature dish: sushi, with soft refined textures, realistic PBR materials, gentle lighting, on a small raised diorama base with minimal garnish and plate. Solid light blue background. At top-center: 'JAPAN' in large bold text, 'SUSHI' below it, small flag icon. Perfectly centered, ultra-clean, high-clarity, square format.”

Qwen Image 2.0 Pro

Vidu Q2

AI Judge Analysis

Qwen Image 2.0 Pro

+ Excellent typography rendering with clean, professional font alignment
+ Highly accurate 45° isometric perspective and diorama base
+ Clean, refined 3D textures that look like professional 3D renders

− The sushi models are slightly simple in detail compared to the prompt's 'realistic PBR' request

Vidu Q2

+ Vibrant colors and creative sushi variety
+ Includes a flag icon as requested in a playful way
+ Dynamic lighting and reflections on the sushi pieces

− Text is slightly wobbly and not as clean as Model A
− Perspective is more of a front-view than a true isometric 45° top-down view
− Some visual artifacts in the flag pole and background elements

Verdict: Qwen Image 2.0 Pro followed the technical aspects of the prompt more closely, delivering a perfect isometric view and exceptionally clean typography. While Vidu Q2 had more vibrant colors, it failed to produce a true 45-degree top-down perspective and the text quality was inferior.

Adorable Baby Animals in Sunny Meadow

Text-to-Image

“Hyper-photorealistic scene of fluffy baby animals—a golden retriever puppy, tabby kitten, baby bunny, and red fox kit—with big expressive eyes and ultra-detailed soft fur, playfully chasing butterflies and tumbling together in a lush wildflower meadow, warm golden sunrise light with god rays and dew sparkles, joyful wholesome vibe, 8K masterpiece.”

Qwen Image 2.0 Pro

Vidu Q2

AI Judge Analysis

Qwen Image 2.0 Pro

+ Excellent photographic realism with natural fur textures and lighting.
+ Correctly included one of each animal type requested in the prompt.
+ Atmospheric sunburst and depth of field feel very professional.

− The animals are more static/cuddling rather than 'chasing' and 'tumbling' as described.

Vidu Q2

+ Successfully captured the energy of the animals 'chasing' and 'tumbling'.
+ High level of detail in the butterflies and flowery meadow.

− Failed the counting constraint by including two golden retriever puppies instead of one.
− Visual style leans slightly more toward a digital illustration or CG render than a photorealistic image.

Verdict: Qwen Image 2.0 Pro followed the character count more accurately and achieved a significantly more realistic, photographic aesthetic with superior lighting. While Vidu Q2 captured the 'playful action' of the prompt better, it failed by duplicating the puppy and had a less convincing, more stylized look.

Vintage Cafe Logo

Text-to-Image

“Vintage minimalist restaurant logo for "Caffè Florian", retro cloche dome with steam and "Est. 1720" banner, classic typography, warm brown and cream tones, subtle texture on light background, vector emblem style.”

Qwen Image 2.0 Pro

Vidu Q2

AI Judge Analysis

Qwen Image 2.0 Pro

+ Excellent typography rendering with the correct accent mark on 'Caffè'.
+ Clean vector illustration style that fits the 'minimalist logo' prompt perfectly.
+ Strong color palette adherence with warm brown and cream tones.

− Includes a typo in the second word: 'Floriian' instead of 'Florian'.

Vidu Q2

+ Nice interpretation of the 'subtle texture' on the background.
+ Elegant linework on the cloche dome.

− Multiple severe spelling errors in all text elements including 'Farmiin' and 'Esttt'.
− Repetitive and nonsensical text at the bottom of the emblem.
− Cluttered composition for a 'minimalist' logo request.

Verdict: Qwen Image 2.0 Pro produced a much cleaner, more professional vector logo that accurately followed the style and color requirements, despite a minor double-letter typo. Vidu Q2 failed significantly on text rendering and composition, producing several spelling errors and redundant text lines that degraded the logo's quality.

Apollo 11: Journey to Tranquility

Text-to-Image

“Create a clean, modern vector infographic poster about the Apollo 11 mission. NASA-inspired palette (navy, white, muted red, light gray). Flat-vector style, crisp lines, consistent iconography, subtle gradients only. Steps (stop at landing): 1. Launch (Saturn Vicon) 2. Earth Orbit (Earth + orbit ring icon) 3. Translunar (trajectory arc icon) 4. Lunar Orbit (Moon + orbit ring icon) 5. Descent (lunar module descending icon) 6. Landing (lunar module on the surface icon) Small supporting elements (minimal text): • Crew strip: three silhouette icons with only last names: Armstrong, Aldrin, Collins. • Landing site marker: Moon pin labeled "Tranquility" only. Layout constraints: generous margins, large readable labels, clean background with subtle stars. Vector-only, print-poster look, high resolution.”

Qwen Image 2.0 Pro

Vidu Q2

AI Judge Analysis

Qwen Image 2.0 Pro

+ Excellent text rendering with no spelling errors.
+ Logically sound vertical flow representing the mission trajectory.
+ High-quality vector aesthetic with clean, professional iconography.

− The 'Descent' icon is slightly more complex/detailed than the other flatter icons.
− The path for 'Translunar' is a bit wavy rather than a direct arc.

Vidu Q2

+ Successfully captures the requested flat-vector style and NASA-inspired palette.
+ Clean layout of icons in a grid format.

− None of the text is legible or spelled correctly.
− The numbering system is inconsistent and does not follow the requested 6 steps.
− Iconography for 'Launch' depicts a generic shuttle-style rocket rather than a Saturn V type.

Verdict: Qwen Image 2.0 Pro is the clear winner as it followed all instructions, including the specific sequence of six steps, and produced perfect text. Vidu Q2 failed significantly on text generation and did not follow the requested progression of mission stages accurately.
