Midjourney just released a new feature called 'model personalization'

It lets you tune the MJ algorithm to your own personal tastes, removing much of the MJ "bias" that comes from its training data

Breakdown of how it works:
Every time you write a prompt there's a lot that remains 'unspoken'

MJ's algorithms fill in the blank w/ their own 'preferences', which comes with certain biases

Model personalization learns what YOU like so MJ is more likely to fill in the blanks with YOUR tastes Image
Right now model personalization learns from votes in pair ranking & images that you like from the explore page

You need to have roughly 200 pair rankings / likes in order for the feature to work

You can see how many ratings you have by typing /info or going to 'tasks' on alpha Image

Elaborating on how to use Midjourney's "Style Reference" feature

This is how you break free of MJs default training data "aesthetic", and fine tune the way it interprets your prompts

Codes & examples πŸ‘‡ Image
When you use the style reference feature, you're essentially sending MJ to a specific location in "style space"

Each location has its own unique style, vibe & aesthetic. Once you're there, any prompt you run will be influenced by the locations unique characteristics
It's a far more visual & interesting way of working in MJ

To navigate style space, you'll need:
> a style "code", or
> an image reference

Whether you use a code or an image doesn't really matter. They are effectively the same thing – coordinates to a particular "style"

Text-to-storyboard

I'm really liking the approach @LTXStudio is taking with their video platform

Instead of going clip by clip, you prompt the basic story concept, and it generates an entire storyboard w/ multiple scenes, shots, and even character casting

Full interface tour:
You still have full control at the individual clip level, but the fact it takes the basic idea and turns it into a structured storyboard with multiple scenes and shots you can edit is pretty amazing

This is their character consistency feature

A few more consistent character tests in Midjourney

top row β†’ test of --cw values on clothing
middle β†’ seeing how it transfers emotions
bottom β†’ using --cref with different actions

prompts & some notes in thread:Image
MJ default is --cw 100, but try lower --cw values if you plan to specify an outfit different from your reference img

πŸ’¬ cinestill 800T photo of a woman working at her desk. She's wearing a black shirt and clear lens glasses --ar 5:7 --style raw --cref {img URL} --cw {0,50,100} Image
Here I asked for her in a black dress, so i dropped the --cw value to 0 to transfer just the face and tested different emotions

πŸ’¬ cinestill 800T photo of a {happy, sad, neutral} woman wearing a black dress sitting on a boat --ar 5:7 --style raw --cref {img URL} --cw 0 Image

Midjourney finally released their consistent character features!

You can now generate images w/ consistent faces, hair styles, & even clothing across styles & scenes

This has been the top requested feature from the community for a while now

Some examples & how it works:
It's similar to the style reference feature, except instead of matching style, it makes your characters match your Character Reference (--cref) image

I used the image on the left as my character reference

Prompts in ALT

Colorized Ilford Delta 3200 closeup portrait --chaos 100 --ar 4:5 --style raw --stylize 1000 --weird 3000 --niji 6
Cinestill 800T film still of a man pitching for the new york yankees --ar 16:9 --style raw --cref {img URL} --cw 100
Cinestill 800T film still of a man at a birthday party --ar 16:9 --style raw --cref {img URL} --cw 50
It also works across image styles, which is pretty sick and very fun to play with
