Q & A

  • What is the main purpose of using Midjourney V6's style random parameter?

    -The style random parameter in Midjourney V6 is used to explore and master new visual styles quickly and easily. It allows users to generate images with a random art style that can be reused across prompts, which is particularly helpful for conceptualizing logo designs and trying out different ideas.

  • How does the style random parameter influence the generated images?

    -The style random parameter can override the user's style choice and transform the entire image with a random art style. It can also sometimes override the choice of photography type or illustrative medium, leading to unexpected and interesting results.

  • What is the recommended approach when using the style random parameter?

    -When using the style random parameter, it is recommended to specify the subject and action in the prompt and leave the rest of the creative process to the parameter itself to allow for maximum exploration and discovery of new styles.

  • How can one control the influence of the random styles generated by the style random parameter?

    -The influence of the random styles can be controlled by using the s SW parameter with values ranging from 0 to 1,000. A higher value increases the impact of the randomized style on the generated image.

  • What is the atomic prompting and how does it relate to the style random parameter?

    -Atomic prompting offers a high degree of creative control for both photographic and illustrative versions of the generated images. However, when the style random parameter is used, it can potently impact the final image, potentially overriding the user's specific style choices.

  • How can one save and reuse a style that was generated with the style random parameter?

    -If a user likes a style generated with the style random parameter, they can use that image as a style reference for other prompts by using the '--srf' parameter followed by the style code. Midjourney now shows the style codes next to the generated images in both Discord and the Alpha website.

  • What is the 'chaos parameter' and how does it affect the results of the style random parameter?

    -The chaos parameter can be added to the prompt to produce even more unusual and unexpected results with many variations. It increases the randomness and diversity of the visual styles generated by the style random parameter.

  • How does the style random parameter help in the creative process of logo design?

    -The style random parameter can quickly generate a wide variety of styles, which can be particularly useful in the conceptualization phase of logo design. It allows designers to explore different visual styles and find inspiration for new creative directions.

  • What are style codes and how are they used in Midjourney?

    -Style codes are unique identifiers for specific art styles generated within Midjourney. They can be saved and reused across multiple prompts to maintain a consistent visual style or to apply a previously discovered style to new creative projects.

  • How can one join the community for more tutorials on Midjourney and AI filmmaking?

    -To join the community and receive more tutorials on Midjourney and AI filmmaking, one can show support with a thumbs up and subscribe to the channel or platform where these tutorials are being offered.

  • What is the default value for the s SW parameter when controlling the strength of the random style influence?

    -The default value for the s SW parameter, which controls the strength of the random style influence, is 100.

  • How does the visual comparison of low, medium, and high style random values affect the generated images?

    -The visual comparison of low, medium, and high style random values applied to the same prompt shows how increasing the value of the s SW parameter fuels the impact of the randomized style more and more, leading to a greater deviation from the original style with higher values.
