Here are 7 pretty good Midjourney prompts & images you can riff on: Ilford Delta 3200 closeup portrait --chaos 100 --ar 4:5 --style raw --stylize 1000 --weird 3000 --niji 6 --no lamp

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 → test of --cw values on clothing
middle → seeing how it transfers emotions
bottom → using --cref with different actions

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

💬 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}

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

I ran all of the Sora prompts through Midjourney

Interesting how similar some are

Try prompting against your moodboards

You can get really incredible results with super simple prompts when paired with a well curated moodboard

I used custom zoom on the generated image to adjust aspect ratio to 16:9

You don't need to overthink prompts for design elements like backgrounds/textures/patterns

Most of the time you only need 3-4 words

12 examples in thread: noisy film grain texture --ar 16:9 --style raw --stylize 0 --v 6

You can elevate pretty much any Midjourney photo prompt by including a film stock with complementary lighting conditions.

I curated some pairings you can play with

12 examples in thread: Frogs on lily pads in a misty pond at night. Moody ambiance and soft lighting captured on Cinestill 800T film --ar 3:2 --style raw --v 6

Today is officially the last day I'll be using Midjourney in Discord!

The only thing that kept me in discord was the ability to organize projects in my own servers

But MJ just pushed a big update to their web alpha that makes staying organized WAY easier

All the new features: ✨ Smart Folders

Back in the day MJ had something called "collections" that let you quickly group images by search term.

Now it's called "Smart Folders" and it works the same way.

Just add your terms and MJ will automatically add any prompt using those terms to your folder.

In Midjourney you can use a double colon '::' in your prompt to separate concepts

Some examples to give you a better visual:
'Eggplant" vs 'Egg:: plant'
'Headlight" vs 'Head:: light'
'Snowman" vs 'Snow:: man'

Its called multi-prompting & theres a bunch of ways you can use it 👇 When multi-prompting, MJ considers each concept separated by the '::' as its own unique prompt > imagines them individually > then blends them

By default, each part separated by '::' has an equal amount of influence over the image

But you can change that by adding a 'weight'👇

Prompting Midjourney --v 6 is VERY different than prompting --v 5

--v 6 understands language much better, which means your punctuation, syntax, & grammar matter much more

If prompted correctly, you can control almost every element in your image

A guide to prompting --v 6 👇 💬 Prompt setup:

> Set the main scene
> Describe the details
> Describe the setting
> Explore styles & mediums

Adding a basic medium in your initial setup may help you better visualize results as you iterate. Keep it at the start or end of the prompt for best results

Attempting to make a little mini-series using only AI.

I'm using midjourney to generate the images, @pika_labs to generate the video.

It ended up taking me about 3 hours to generate 60 seconds of footage.

This 16-sec clip used only 6 images.

prompts & images in thread 👇 a cave, long exposure experimental cinematography of holographic hallucinations against mysterious backdrops, photobashing of conceptual photography, god rays --ar 7:5 --style raw --v 6.0

Then some variations

Midjourney v6 is finally here!!!! 🔥

Here are some side-by-sides, --v 5.2 versus --v 6, as well as some new highly detailed prompts and camera angle tests.

These are all unaltered and unedited, straight out of Midjourney.

v6 is a HUGE leap forward

Prompts & examples 👇 a corner bar with a neon sign that says "open late"

--v 5.2 (left)
--v 6 (right)

Midjourney had their second v6 rating party.

These are supposed to be the "better" images.

After this they'll do a final tuning and then FINALLY release v6!

Prompts & examples from rating party #2👇 Like last time, I picked img's I felt fit the prompts or were funny

We finally got our first look at v6 images 👀

Midjourney had their v6 rating party. They say these are the "bad" images. Next rating party will be the "good" ones.

I rated over 1000 images & inspected them to analyze the prompts.

v6 is gonna be insane

A bunch of examples 👇 Remember, these are the "bad" images.

I selected ones I feel highlight v6s interpretation of prompts & details.

I'm running a ton of benchmarking tests for Midjourney vs. Adobe Firefly 2 vs. DALLE-3.

Testing for speed, accuracy, quality, diversity, robustness, handling of errors, and more.

I'll be sharing my findings over the next few days. Starting with...

🪄 Robustness (details below) Here's an overview of what I'll be covering in this series. To follow the series, follow @nickfloats

I ran the prompts several times for each test to account for randomness & variability.

I've included 16 outputs for each model & prompt so you can better visualize the results.

Side-by-sides of DALL•E 3 and Midjourney

Since Midjourney currently doesn't support text (that's coming in the v6 update) I removed the text call-outs from the prompt when running in MJ.

Here's 7 comparisons: "An illustration of a human heart made of translucent glass, standing on a pedestal amidst a stormy sea. Rays of sunlight pierce the clouds, illuminating the heart, revealing a tiny universe within."

Using Permutation prompting in Midjourney to do a Gucci photoshoot around the world with a single prompt.

In about 60 seconds, MJ generated 32 image grids.

That's 128 unique and diverse images created in under a minute. Pretty incredible.

You can use ChatGPT to convert any of my Midjourney prompts into a formula that can create endless variations.

The secret is JSON, in honor of the latest Midjourney error message.
