Most SREF codes are filters. They adjust the tone, the palette, the mood — but they leave the structure of your prompt intact. SREF 3231 is different.
SREF 3231 renders subjects in subterranean settings. Whimsical linework, glowing minerals, mysterious caves, and a sense of underground discovery define the output. Subjects feel nestled in caves, surrounded by geological wonder.
