To highlight the style's strenghts and features, we run each SREF code through a set of 16 standardized prompts—Midlibrary Benchmark. Each prompt demonstrates how the SREF ”behaves“ in various domains of visual art/applications.
Paper cutout is a traditional art form involving the intricate cutting of paper to create decorative designs. Originating in China, this technique has been adapted worldwide, often used for storytelling, decoration, and cultural expression. It requires precision and skill, with artists creating detailed patterns and scenes by hand.
