TLDRIn this video, the presenter explores the new 'Style Random' feature in Midjourney V6, which allows users to add a random style to their generated images by typing 'sref random' at the end of their prompt. The video demonstrates how to obtain a style reference code from an image, the consistency in style across multiple images, and the ability to combine styles within a single image using the 'vary region' tool. The presenter also discusses the limitations of using multiple codes and the use of 'D-SV' for style variations. The video concludes with an invitation for viewers to share eye-catching styles in the comments and to check out a resource of style codes for further experimentation.

  • How can you generate multiple variations of a style using the 'D-SV' command?

    -You can use the 'D-SV' command followed by a set of numbers within curly brackets, separated by commas, to generate multiple variations of a style.

  • What is the benefit of using the 'SL tune' function in version 5.2?

    -The 'SL tune' function in version 5.2 allows you to create a style code that can then be copied and used as a style reference in version 6, providing additional flexibility.

  • How can you use the intended purpose of the style reference with an image URL?

    -You can use the intended purpose of the style reference by uploading an image URL, entering your prompt, and adding the 'SV' parameter to get different versions of the style.

🎨 Exploring MidJourney's Random Style Feature

The video discusses the new random style feature in MidJourney version 6, which allows users to generate images with a random style by typing 'sref space random' at the end of their prompt. The feature is compared to the 'tune' function from version 5 and is shown to work on both Discord and the MidJourney website. The video also explains how to obtain a style reference code, which can be shared and used across different prompts. The host demonstrates how to use the style reference code to create images with consistent styles and how to combine styles within an image using the 'vary region' feature. The limitations of using multiple style codes and the incompatibilities with certain commands are also mentioned. Finally, the video provides a tip on how to upscale and change style references within an image and encourages viewers to share their favorite styles in the comments.

🛡️ Creating Variations with Style References and URL

This paragraph explains how to use an image URL as a style reference in MidJourney, which is particularly useful when you want to create variations of a particular style. The video demonstrates the process of using the 'SV' (Style Version) parameter to generate slightly different versions of a style by entering a number between 1 to 4. The host also shows how to use permutations to create four variations of a single style by enclosing the numbers in curly brackets. The video concludes with a reminder that the 'SL tune' function from version 5.2 can still be used to create style codes that are compatible with version 6. The host encourages viewers to experiment with the new style random feature and to share their discoveries, and thanks them for watching the video.

The video script mentions using Midjourney V6 to apply random styles to images, indicating its role in creative processes.

💡Style Reference (sref)

Style Reference, abbreviated as 'sref', is a term used within the Midjourney V6 software to denote a specific style that can be applied to an image. In the context of the video, 'sref' followed by 'random' allows users to generate images with a randomly selected style. It is a key concept as it enables creative exploration of different visual aesthetics.

Discord is a communication platform that the video script mentions as a preferred method for using certain functions of Midjourney V6. It is highlighted as a platform where users can obtain style codes by using a specific command, indicating its utility in the process of image generation with the software.

💡Job ID

A Job ID is a unique identifier for a particular task or process within a system. In the video, it is used to retrieve the style code after an image generation process. It is an important concept as it allows users to copy and apply specific styles to their images.

💡Consistency

Consistency in this context refers to the uniformity or similarity in the style of images generated using the same style code. The video emphasizes the consistency across images to demonstrate the reliability of the style application feature in Midjourney V6.

💡NII

NII, while not explicitly defined in the script, seems to be another version or related tool within the Midjourney ecosystem that also supports the application of style codes. It is mentioned to produce similar results to those obtained in Midjourney V6, showcasing the compatibility and versatility of the style codes.

💡Style Codes

Style Codes are numerical values that represent different styles within the Midjourney V6 software. Users can input these codes to generate images in specific styles. The video discusses sharing and experimenting with these codes to achieve various visual effects.

💡Remix Mode

Remix Mode is a feature within the Midjourney V6 software that allows users to modify certain aspects of an image, such as changing the style reference within a specific region of the image. It is demonstrated in the video as a way to combine styles within a single image.

💡Vary Region

Vary Region is a tool or command that enables users to alter specific parts of an image independently, showcasing the granular control over style application. It is used in the video to change the style of the eyes in an image from one style to another.

💡D-SV

D-SV stands for 'Discord Style Version', which is a command used in conjunction with a URL to generate images with different versions of a style. It is part of the video's exploration of how to achieve variations in style application.

💡Permutations

Permutations, in the context of the video, refer to the different variations of a style that can be generated using the Midjourney V6 software. The script mentions using curly brackets to input multiple style versions and receive several slightly different images, demonstrating the software's capacity for creative exploration.

💡SL Tune

SL Tune appears to be a feature or a process from a previous version of the software (version 5.2) that allowed users to create style codes. The video suggests that users can still use this feature and then apply the generated style codes in Midjourney V6, indicating the backward compatibility and utility of older features.

Highlights

Midjourney V6 allows users to apply a random style to images by typing 'sref random' at the end of their prompt.

The style reference code is provided next to the prompt, which can be copied and used for consistency across images.

The 'tune' function from version 5 still works and is reminiscent of the new style random feature.

To use the style random feature, ensure that Midjourney version 6 is selected in settings or typed in the prompt.

The website provides 'srf random' instead of the style code, which can be obtained by copying the job ID and using the 'slash show' command in Discord.

Consistency in style can be achieved by applying the same style code to different prompts, even across different versions of Midjourney.

Sharing style codes with others is possible, allowing collaborative exploration of image styles.

Experimenting with different numbers after 'D-sref' can produce a variety of styles, offering a wide range of creative possibilities.

A new page on the creator's website will share discovered styles and their corresponding numbers for easy access.

Upscaling a number and using 'remix mode' allows for the combination of styles within a single image using the 'vary region' feature.

Using more than one style code or mixing codes with URLs will result in an error in Midjourney V6.

Entering a random number after 'D-' allows for experimentation with different styles by trying various numbers.

The 'D-repeat' function can be used to generate multiple styles at once, offering a broad exploration of available styles.

Style codes found eye-catching by users can be shared in the comments for community feedback and inspiration.

A resource of style codes is provided in the description for further exploration and experimentation with styles.

Using an image URL with the 'SV' parameter allows for the creation of slightly different versions of a style, offering more control over the final image.

The 'SL tune' function from version 5.2 can still be used to create style codes that are compatible with version 6.

The video provides a comprehensive guide on how to use the new style random feature and style codes in Midjourney V6.
