You have no idea how happy this makes me :)

I love how you brought Carla to life. I thought it was just me not wanting enough to learn that's why I kept closing videos halfway from almost every other midjourney creator on youtube. Now I realize it's them, and how their thoughts are scattered all over the place, which makes their vids difficult to watch. How you explain everything makes your videos so easy to watch and learn from, well thought out, and very easy to understand, always staying on point instead from jumping to 10,000 other things. I also love how you consider that your viewer might not understand something you talk about and tell them where you've already talked about it and where to find it. I love how doesn't appear to be from expert to newbie but from one learner to another.

I hate it when people gatekeep certain things behind a paywall. It's silly because it's not like this information isn't available out there already. It's just that not many people go through the trouble of putting it into a nicely consumable format such as these videos. Either way, thank you so much for your feedback. Truly appreciated! :)

No, not really. MJ doesn't "learn" from it. It basically just uses the concept and tries to blend it into the final image. It's not really different from using multiprompts and adding a new segment, other than that it's an image and obviously it will be visually more precise.

The white eyes may come from the fact that a lot of Marvel heroes have white eyes due to their masks (Spiderman, Wolverine, …) or when they intensively use their powers (firing energy beams out of their eyes or having a high energy level as is, like Storm controlling the weather, Thor with lightning, Cyclops loosing his mask, …). One would have to change the comic book style to one not having heroes with supernatural powers. On the other hand, what I really absolutely do not like is when Midjourney uses the long hairs of the character instead of drawing tears (see 17:33). With the red hair it looks like the character is bleeding out of her eyes. 😱 I would not have an idea how to tell Midjourney not to do that. And as far as the squinting of the eyes is concerned, that´s also totally weird… Love your videos. Learning much of them. Thx 4 sharing. Greetings from Switzerland 🇨🇭

Great video, as always. But I don't understand how you are getting the waist up "cowboy shot" by prompting "wide angle full body image." The latter prompt gives me a head to toe image.

@TokenizedAI

Жыл бұрын

That's a very fair question. So the thing is, you always need to look at what your inputs are. In this particular case we had a reference image that was a full body shot. Then we had the first segment of the prompt that was also most likely going to generate a full body shot (although not always!) and the second segment was a concept that most of the time, would probably give us a portrait shot. When Midjourney receives inputs with different angles, it will usually blend them into an "average". So for all intents and purposes, let's assume the image prompt gets 50% of the weight. The text prompt also get 50% of the weight, but since there are 2 segements with equal weights, each one get 25% of the total weight. 50% Image reference with full body 25% 1st segment with mostly full body concepts (but not always) 25% 2nd segment with almost exclusively portrait shots All of that tends to blend into something that resembles a cowboy shot.

Would these also work if its not a closeup portrait shot , or even multiple person in the shot ?

@TokenizedAI

Жыл бұрын

Multi-character would be difficult or even impossible if they all should have different expressions. But for a wider angle shot it should work. Just bear in mind that MJ might not let you use a really wide shot because you're talk about specifics in the face. It really depends on the whole prompt.

How many image prompts do you think is the most effective for generating consistent pictures?

@TokenizedAI

3-5 is usually enough, depending on what you're doing. Anything beyond that has diminishing returns.

What you're describing (the first part) has nothing to do with Midjourney. That's probably just Discord limiting how many images get embedded in the message. And if you're using 9 image references, then each one of those image only contributes 11% to the image prompt. If you also added a text prompt (which alone gets a weighting of 50% in v4, with the other 50% going to the image prompts) then you've diluted the impact of each one of those 9 images to less than 6%. So of course it's going to be barely noticeable in your final image. But that doesn't mean that it's not taken into account.
