So I'm finally back from my holiday in Bali and was able to recharge my batteries a bit.
I also had the chance to finally dedicate some time to fully grasping the power of Vary, Pan, and Zoom, Midjourney's newest set of features that are poised to help everyone that is working on any form of storytelling.
That's right, it might not seem obvious at first, but if you combine all of these features into a specific workflow, you can finally craft entire scenes based on an original consistent character concept.
You guessed it. Carla Caruso is back!
It all starts off with a simple headshot on a white background. But from there, you can essentially use your character to craft any type of scene you need.
You work yourself outwards from the character's face and build out the environment. And you can even add additional characters to the scenes, giving you unprecedented control.
And guess what? You can even re-introduce another specific character into your scene, getting us one step closer towards truly multi-character scenes.
Today's video is just an appetizer. It's the tip of an iceberg.
I sincerely believe we are at the cusp of a massive step-change!

12:53 I love that Midjourney added the option to change the aspect ratio, but it would be helpful if we could use our own custom backgrounds (based on reference images that we provide), and place our characters within those custom backgrounds. For projects where we need a lot of control over the scene that we create, it’s important to not only have custom characters, but also custom backgrounds, and maintain consistency of these elements. When combining our characters with a background, we may want to show the scene from different camera angles, and change things like the lighting conditions (or weather conditions), but it should still maintain the same consistent look even when these changes are made.

15:35 I’m very interested in combining multiple characters together in a scene, since this is usually important for creating a full scene. But I don’t want to add the same character twice in a scene because there’s usually no point in doing that. Instead of adding a random male character to the scene like you did earlier in the video, would you be able to add a custom male character instead? I’d like to know if it’s currently possible to add multiple of my custom characters into a scene. Also, I want to be able to create interactive poses with my characters. Instead of my characters being placed in different areas of the image, I may want them closely interacting with each other. Some examples where the characters might need to closely interact is if they’re engaging in combat sports like wrestling or martial arts, or if the characters are hugging each other (or if they’re holding hands). This is something I’m hoping will be possible soon, because it would be really helpful in creating scenes for comics and graphic novels.

Really good video. I was able to create consistent characters using Vary Strong by using an image prompt of the original image and then weighting it by say 0.25 in the remix. I wrote up a Medium Post about it: "Generating Consistent Characters in Midjourney v5.2".

The new Vary-Strong in combination with Remix is indeed quite a game changer.

Thanks for making this Christian. I have a question please. When using "pan" feature, is the entered prompt only applying to the newly created pan area, or the new area + the original area? I asked this because you didn't mention the girl at 11:30 in the prompt when using panning. I hope you understand what I'm asking. Thanks for creating this tutorial.

Technically, with pan you should only be entering what's in the new area. But sometimes it also works with the original prompt.

@davidcummins8125 10 ай бұрын

I'm wondering whether there is a workflow using character sheets. I've played around with generating comic character sheets, e.g. 4x4 grid of the same character with different expressions or varying by some other feature. I find that the items in the grid are reasonably consistent. The shame is that you can't start with a single item from the grid and outpaint from that (easily anyway).

@TokenizedAI 10 ай бұрын

Yeah, like a "crop" feature that you can then expand again. That would be cool.

@davidcummins8125 10 ай бұрын

@TokenizedAI Exactly. It would be easy to express in a prompt too, e.g. --crop top%,left%,width%,height%.

Midjourney's inpainting is messed up and doesn't do what it should in at least 30% of the time. It does certain things really well and completely fails at many others. It needs a lot of work, to be honest. But yes, face swapping is something it's relatively good at.

Largely depends on how uniquely distinguishable the object is and whether you have a base prompt that reliably produces similar images.

@TokenizedAI 10 ай бұрын

You need to use "Vary (Strong)" and you obviously need to replace "white background" with some sort of environment. If you're using Remix with low variation mode activated, then it obviously won't work because that's an entirely different type of Remixing. I'm pretty sure I show these steps with quite a bit of detail 😉

Using red hair is a common cheat for "consistent" characters. Because there are fewer redhead face examples that Midjourney has sampled, and the hair distracts the mind from facial differences. I challenge anyone to create a consistent character that isn't a red haired woman. Or a pirate with an eyepatch, which is impossible! Try to create just one image of a pirate with an eyepatch!

Looking for the hair in the soup. The eyepatch issue also has nothing to do with consistency. That's a coherence problem.

@TokenizedAI 10 ай бұрын

The video would have ended up being 45 minutes long if I showed every single example. Many wouldn't watch the video then. The approach is always the same. The only thing that changes is the image that you want to create. Start with the head, pan the body (and choose an activity/pose if you must), custom zoom out a bit, pan the environment, custom zoom out the full scene. No need to repeat the same thing multiple times.
