Huge Midjourney Update: Consistent Characters, Step-by-Step Tutorial 

You're welcome! Glad you liked it.

Thank you.

Thank you.

If you are just getting started with Midjourney, I suggest reading the official documentation on MJ's website, watching tutorials on youtube, and just experimenting with different prompts and settings.

I'm glad you enjoyed the video. I think Midjourney is great for what you want to do, but you will have to use another tool to animate your avatar. I have a video on how to create talking avatars using the artflow ai tool. One of the images I used in that video, the African American woman, was created in Midjourney. You mentioned you wanted an avatar of yourself. Remember, Midjourney cref feature works best with images generated with Midjourney, so you probably shouldn't use a photo of yourself. Edit: I misread your post, I thought you meant a talking avatar. Sorry. Nevertheless, I think Midjourney would be great for what you want to do.

It's hard to say why you are not getting the results you want without more information. I didn't set any special setttings beforehand. Are you using style raw? Some tricks I discovered after I posted this video: 1. If you are getting inconsistent resuls, try including the original prompt along with the cref parameter - remove anything you would like to change, like clothing description 2. Use the same parameters across generations, for example if you set the style parameter to 100 in your reference image, use this same value for the other generations. 3. Maybe try using style raw so Midjourney adheres more closely to the prompts. I hope this helps.

Thank you. I'll look into it.

Thank you for the kind words. Midjouney can be used on their website. I think using the website is only available to users who have generated at least 1000 images, but I'm not sure if that is still the case. The website is www.midjourney.com, and you do need a paid subscription.

Try phrases like "sad expression", "happy expression", "facing left", "head turned right", etc.

Just leave the value empty and the option will be removed.

I haven't tested multiple consistent characters using the cref parameter, but I might do so in the near future.

@@aiconcoction looking forward to it!

Are you trying to copy the link or download the image? Try clicking on the image. Then right click on the popup.

You don't have to know how to code to use Midjourney, just prompting. The prefer option set is just a command that allows users to create custom options that can be used as placeholders, so you don't have to retype parts of your prompt that you use many times. There are many Midjourney tutorials on the web. I would start with Midjourney's documentation on their official website. Just play around with prompting and watch as many tutorials as you can, you'll eventually get the hang of it. Good luck.

It's only compatible with version 6 and Niji 6.

If nothing is showing, you probably didn't set any custom options. When using the prefer option set command, make sure to enter the name of the option, click +1 more, select the value option from the dropdown, type a value in the text box, press enter. If everything goes well, you'll receive a message that the custom option was set to the value you entered. Make sure to click +1 more then value, otherwise if you press enter, the custom option will be deleted. If you've done all of this and you still don't see your option in a dropdown box, I don't know what's the problem. I hope this helps.

Midjourney states that precise details likely wouldn't be copied. I usually get good results as far as the face and overall outfit go, but sometimes I have to reroll the prompt many times before I get a good result, and usually there are some minor differences. Have you tried using Midjourney's vary region tool?

I think it depends on what you want. They both are generally good at generating consistent characters, and both are not perfect. Midjourney is better in generating photo realistic images, while Dalle-3 is better with illustrations. For instance, if you want to create a consistent Instagram influencer, go with Midjourney, but if you want more child-like consistent characters, Dalle-3 may be better.

@@aiconcoction much appreciated 👍 that helps a lot!

You're welcome.

Make sure you are entering something in the value text box before pressing enter.

You have to enter a value in the value field, otherwise the option will be deleted if it exists.

If you are using Midjourney in Discord, right click on the image then click copy link. If you don't see that option, try left-clicking on the image, then right click on the popup. If you are using it on Midjourney's website, right click on the image then select copy image address.

Unfortunately, I'm not doing any freelance work right now.

Why would you pay him? Just prompt your own picture, after all that's the entire point right?

Midjourney is not free. You can find the subscription plans here: docs.midjourney.com/docs/plans. There are free alternatives available.

I hear you. If you have the $24/month plan you can generate unlimited images in relax mode. Also, have you tried Leonardo AI's character reference tool? I posted a video about it, and the results were pretty good.

@@aiconcoction I haven't. I am looking for something to generate consistent characters and stuff around as well. For story telling, I need multiple characters in the same image. Also the house, the furniture, the horses, the landscape has to remain consistent. Nothing close yet.

Yeah, I haven't encountered an AI tool that can do that, especially with multiple consistent characters. You might have to create the characters and backgrounds separately, then use an image editing software to put it all together. Or create consistent images of one character in different scenes, then add other characters using tools like inpainting. If you want a consistent style across images, use the style reference parameter in Midjourney or Leonardo AI.

I'm sorry it doesn't work for you, could you give more information about your prompt and settings?

You will need Discord to use Midjourney. Follow the instructions here: docs.midjourney.com/docs/add-the-bot. If you have created over 1,000 images with Midjourney, you can use it on their website: www.midjourney.com/explore. I'm not familiar with Opeart.

Thank you. Unfortunately, I'm not doing collaborations at this time.
