Some #Midjourney V5 findings 🔥
Finally! Full-blown cinematic aspect ratios!

2.4:1 widescreen cinema standard ✅
2.76:1 ultra panavision 70 ✅

you can go up to 14:1 (!) but: letterboxing seems to set in roughly at ultra widescreen (3.6:1)

#midjourney5 🧵

However, 3.6:1 (and higher ratios) seems to work better if you drop the cinematic prefixes (cinematic shot, film still, etc.) 🤷‍♂️🤔
Here it's just scene & style description. 3.6:1, no letterboxing.

despite the letterboxing, exploring 4:1 is fun ... 🍄🎉
#MidjourneyV5

Here's a 4:1 image in panorama view. this is raw #midjourneyv5, default quality (--q 1), not bad actually

I mean, that photorealism tendency is next level, right?

#midjourney5 with strong tendency to photorealism 📷

same prompt, left: V4, right: V5

Tile mode is back! 🔥 Here in 14:1. Max aspect ratio, checked.
#Midjourney5

The --chaos value seems to vary the styles much more within the initial grid #MidjourneyV5 #midjourney

#Midjourney V5 also gives much better results for homogenous textures, thanks to improved realism & "--tile"

Top left(V4)/right(V5): "grey sandpaper, highly detailed --tile"

Bottom: mossy forest soul & rusty metal (both #midjourneyv5)

photorealistic wide angles and homogenous textures from #Midjourney V5 put into WebVR API to animate in a local browser window
