How to make incredibly photorealistic images with #Midjourney

It's easy.

Just follow these steps: Image
As an example, let's start with a simple prompt.

Prompt: A smiling woman with flowers

Now, let's fix the seed and make her more realistic. A smiling woman with flowers
You might be tempted to try adding "realistic" or "photorealistic" to the prompt.

Example: A realistic smiling woman with flowers

It doesn't work. Thanks @icreatelife for pointing this out! A realistic smiling woman w...
The key is to add "a photo of" to the prompt.

Example: A photo of a smiling woman with flowers

Much better!

But there's a problem.

This photo is realistic, but the scene is not.

Women don't usually have flowers exploding from their hair. A photo of a smiling woman ...
The last step is to add a suitable camera + lens to the prompt.

The Nikon D850 camera with a 85mm lens is good for taking pictures of people.

They make the scene look like something from real life.

Prompt: A photo of a smiling woman with flowers, Nikon D850, 85mm lens A photo of a smiling woman ...

PixVerse just released a powerful new AI tool called Magic Brush!

It allows you to control how objects move in videos, and has some very interesting features.

Let me demonstrate with 7 examples + how to try it for free 🧵
1. Cars racing

Notice how you can make the car on the left move faster by drawing a longer arrow.
2. Colored balls

You can specify the objects to move in up to 6 different directions.

Each brush corresponds with one arrow.

A few hours ago, OpenAI released their latest model, GPT-4o.

It's by far the best model we've seen so far, and it's available for free.

Here are 10 incredible things it can do:
1. It can accept text, audio, and images as input, and it is FAST.

The voice mode has a latency of ~300ms, 10x faster than GPT-4.

This means it can translate in real time:
2. You can get it to participate in a meeting.

It can listen to the conversation, and even speak for itself.

Coloring book images generated with AI usually have 3 problems:

1. They are too detailed for young children
2. They have shading
3. It's unclear how to make a colored version as a reference

Here's a solution I found: Image
To solve problems 1 and 2, try the AAM XL model on @getremixai.

This model usually gives simpler images vs other generators.

For example, left: AAM, right: Midjourney.

It is also an anime model, which means that there is no shading.

To solve problem 3, we'll use a trick.

First, generate an image WITH color.

Here's a prompt you can use:

children's coloring book image of a [object], beautifully colored, thick lines, simple drawing, plain, minimalistic

Negative prompt:

shading, intricate details, bad, ugly, distortedImage

I’ve shown you guys how to make flat vectors with AI.

But what if you already have a vector you like, but it doesn’t suit the theme of your website?

Here’s a trick to change a vector to any theme you want: Image
To demonstrate, I’ll be converting these two vector illustrations into a common theme.

First, upload the image to @rendernet_ai and turn on ControlNet.

This helps keep the subject and the pose consistent, while allowing you to change the style. Image
