It works pretty well if you use --cref and just change the prompt by adding in "high angle shot from above" or something like that. I'm making a video for that now

Hey, First there's a new consistent characters feature "--cref" I would recommend you use for creating consistent characters. I have a tutorial for that here that shows how to get different camera angles and facial expressions: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/jM9lfrSGv7mvm4E.html Midjourney has made some changes to it's interface. A temporary workaround is to just link the image url's directly in the vary region prompt box, instead of trying to use /prefer_option_set.

Your video tutorials have helped get me off to a great start on Midjourney. I've been trying to use the "Vary(Region)" tool, but it is not showing. I have scoured the midjourney tutorials, google, and youtube, but have not found out anything more than making sure my remix is on and that I am using V6. Do you know anything that may help? Do I need to have over 1000 images in my gallery before I can use the tool? Does the tool work on chromebooks? I appreciate any advice. Thank you so much for your incredibly helpful videos.

I think everybody should be able to use that tool. If you're using Midjourney version 6 it should be there. Do you have the newest version of Discord?

@taoprompts I needed to install Linus onto my chromebook before getting the web app version for Discord. Now I have some new bugs to figure out, but at least I can start using the vary region tool. Just in time for the character reference tool drop. It really is amazing technology.

Hey, a lot of people have been having trouble with that issue right now. Midjourney appears to have made some changes to the vary region box and that's messing up the /prefer_option_set command. A temporary workaround is to just attach the image_url directly after cref instead of using /prefer_option_set. "--cref image_url_1 image_url_2"

Yes, it can sometimes not match the same lighting in the environment image. In the prompt if you ask for different lighting like "dim and desaturated colors" it can help a bit.

Hi, is it possible to train an existing face (mine for example) like this?

@taoprompts 2 ай бұрын

You can try, but Midjourney is not designed to do that. The best way to embed your own face into an Ai model is through stable diffusion with LoRA. However, you can use the insight face swapper in Midjourney to do some basic face swapping. I have a simple guide for that here: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/htx-YNGZt7PInWQ.html

Brilliant video! Hey Tao - you are now my favorite instructor for things like Midjourney and Pika - you don't waste my time. But just for some feedback that might be helpful (because I want your channel to thrive). When I first started tuning into your channel, I was kind of bored by your deadpan delivery. It took a while for me to appreciate your gifts as a communicator and your knowledge because you didn't seem enthusiastic about your subject. Now, you've got to be you, but if you just want an example of someone whose enthusiasm for his subject is over the top, take a look at someone like Matt Wolfe. Even if his subject was watching paint dry, I'd still watch because his enthusiasm is infectious. You are obviously in love with AI imaging but you might show it a bit more. Please keep up the good work, you deserve 1M subscribers.
