OK add a background and a lot of flair

Model notes

This prompt is a follow-up to a previous rendering instruction, intended to iteratively improve the generated scene.

Example output

An updated 3D rendered image with added background elements and stylistic flair.

What it does and when to use it

This prompt is used to iteratively enhance a previously generated 3D scene. It instructs the AI to add a background and 'a lot of flair' to the existing render.

Why it works

Iterative prompting allows for refinement of AI-generated content, building upon previous outputs to achieve a more complex or polished result.

When not to use it

As an initial prompt; it requires a pre-existing scene to modify.
