Thanks for the shoutout on using colour crefs. Since the trick makes colour more precise, there’s practical commercial use-cases, such as logos or templates for print-on-demand T-shirts, etc. Multiple colour crefs are also great for a specific palette with groups of objects, like a basket of Easter eggs.

Dude, now you did what no one did in the videos. Congratulations, incredible and your channel is awesome

Absolutely fantastic, man cant thank you enough for all your hard work, I will definitely be checking out your course. Keep up the hard work!

Best and favorite channel for anything and everything Midjourney! Thank you so much for everything you share.

Thanks! That was a pile of very useful MJ tricks! I need to digest.

hey bro, I really enjoy your work and after I discovered your videos, I started diving into your channel and dedicating myself more to Midjourney because you were like a light at the end of the tunnel. Thank you for your dedication!

You're a CHAMPION, once again huge thank you for your hard work !!! It's a great well detailed video about this workload.

Thank you. I find your tutorials especially helpful.

Great job, Nolan. Another way to add multiple characters to a scene is to use the pan feature then add the new image link of your character. I think this works with custom zoom as well.

So good, thanks for all the information bro!

Thanks for including those last tips in this video. Time flies when watching these videos anyway.

As always, great, you never disappoint with your videos. I have tried --sref not with characters or colors, but with textures of fabric patterns or specific models of drawings on carpets and although they are not identical, they are very very similar, THANK YOU AGAIN LONAN for sharing,, looking forward to the next video

Great tips and examples it really showcase a lot of how to use the new reference tools we got. I used to include --cref in my value but after watching this now I started not including it in case I wanna use it for more fun ways so thank you so much the trick with colors and how it doesn't carry on if you put --cref is a great way to showcase how I might be limiting myself and I used to rely on rerolling the prompt and adding to it or editing it sadly :p Always a pleasure to see your point of view and we all learn and evolve from each other ❤

I already created comics using -- cref but definitely learned even more advanced workflows from this video. Thanks man. Glad to onow Im not the only guy interested in AI-powered storytelling

What a huge help. This is going to help me produce my animated films so much quicker than before. I was using Rendernet, but feel as if using Midjourney with these prompts makes character consistency so much easier.

Excellent tips. I was able to take a one off generated photo that was highly stylized (unrealistic) but i liked it very much in terms of the character, plug it in as cref using the 'multiple expressions' prompt with cref and cw 0 to focus just on the face, and get a realistic, multiple angle and expression view of the same character. This solved the issue i was having. Thanks a bunch!

You are killing it. Been watching you since your first videos. :-)

Great video brother. Love your stuff!

Nolan--amazing tutorials--so well explained. Its a freakin' masterclass. I have an google doc opened and taking notes.....

Love this one, thank you!

best ai filmmaking channel keep it up ill mention you in the credits of my coming shortfilm

Nice workflow Nolan, thanks!

High valued videos, thanks a lot !

great tips, thanks 💪

Great tips, Nolan!

Great Video! Thanks!!

Very useful! Thank you!

I'm going to buy your course just in the name of support, these machines are powerful beyond belief. Artist who attack these machines ironically are holding back art itself. A few more decades and special effects and VFX are going to be easy to do like this. There is no longer a monopoly on art, it's democratize like plastic surgery either you want it or not

"But these people also don't exist." I'm going to hold you liable for making me laugh so hard I scared my cat.

Thanks for ur video😊 i use cref for outfits that i found in the internet. Direct link from the photo. The face looks diffrent but the outfit is close the same😉

This is genius. Thanks for making this.

Helpful video thank you ❤❤❤❤

I am just loving the new Midjourney website

Thanks! Good to know!

Nice tip - thank you:)

sooooo gooood thx!!!

You can use your sketch as cref as well and combine it with a sref in the style you want!

Wow. It really kicked in towards the end. Im hoping (well begging) for you to try freaky faces in your next vid. Horror ones or entities, sci fi. Be good to see how you would tackle something that is out the norm and really unique. Even if it doesnt really work be good to see your findings and what tricks you would use. Maybe some sci fi faces or horror , but not famous ones that MJ already knows. Just ones u create yourself. Thanks for all the tips n tricks i keep forgetting about --w, gonna try that later. Your a star my good man..

One thing I'd like to add is that SREF/CREF doesn't work all that well for painted/cartoon-like characters. It works much better (from what I can tell) with photographic references. The paint style transfers from the reference well, but I have a squirrel jumping from a tree, and when I use either function it warps my squirrel into some like...Ren-like squirrel from Ren and Stimpy with googly eyes (or something like that). It just can't hold onto the abstract nature of the squirrels features when making a style/character composite. It could be that the facial pose is not that great, but I'm not seeing results regardless of cw/sw.

It's so great. I learned a lot. Are there any other courses besides the beginner course?

Great tips, Nolan. I really miss prefer option on the website. I hope that comes soon so we can add all these prompt shortcuts.

Ha Nolan! Excellent video. Very helpful tactics for consistent characters. Can't wait to try these out. Keep up the good work, thanks! (Edit) BTW Do you know if MJ is working on a reference feature for character POSES? That would be the next big feature for more character control.

Oh, Midjourney is doing the Dragon Ball fusion ! Amazing ! The color thing just saved my day by the way, so thank you for that.

OK! _HOW_ did you get lucky enough to get that expression in the top left 0:42 That is ridiculous! Great tip with the colour reference. Although I haven't tried everything I just watched, I have noticed that if I'm going for photorealistic images, the more images I add, the less photorealistic the generated image is. That might just be my experience but fantastic video man. 💯

Nice one thanks. AM looking to produce some streaming backdrops for storytelling. Will check out your course.

I needed help with MJ. The algorythm led me to your channel and I love every video of the past months. Maybe you could update the AESTHETIC PDF for MJ v6? :) Love you and if I made some money of this in the future I will send you some (I use these in Ae projects so I need to also give the guy who explained me that program some ':)

Useful tips as always. Re multiple characters in a scene, have you tried having two characters in the reference image? For instance I created a reference image of "young black man and older white woman" then used it with prompts like "young black man and older white woman dancing the foxtrot" and it replictaed their looks pretty well

Hi, thanks again for the awesome video! I'm kind of curious if you're using cref parameter then why do you tune the cw to 0?

Hi! I love your videos, they're super helpful :) I have some problems with cref if I use characters created with version 5. They mostly never look like my original version 5 characters. Is it possible that this doesn't work with v5 characters? I also tried using the same seed than in my original image und changed the stylize and character weight values...

Thanks for sharing!. Sir, Can I use this to recognize hand drawn images with different positions and convert them into vectors?

I have seen a technique of using two character references by using the pan and remix functions.

Nice stuff! Based on the color example @sidewaysdesign brought to the table, I'm trying to add logos to clothing. Trying is the keyword.....

It appears cref's problem is you can't use it to generate a long-shot photo because the character will have a big head like a bobblehead doll, anyway thanks for the amazing tutorial!

Thank you so much for your help. What do you do when you get "Request cancelled due to image filters". I get that on my own produced pictures on MJ sometimes and it just halts everything

I haven’t got the membership MJ, how about the tutorial of product photography?

thanks Nolan.

Using the tips you provided, what description would you use to get a "full body" image?

Hi, does your course includes all the newest features in midjourney 6? Basically I'd like to know how updated is the course. Thank you.

Question: Do you recommend using colors and texture for -cref instead of -sref? I thought style reference was for this kind of prompting. Unless you’re saying it works better for character reference?

Hi, have you tried using the `--seed` option to get closer to the original pictures? I'm also curious as to why, when the Vary (Region) works so well, the `--cref` can't duplicate the picture exactly?

My head is exploding. I'm just struggling to get it to create a cowboy in period 1800's clothing. It keeps generating a cowboy in 20th century clothing. I have tried to use a photo as a reference. I'm glad you have a brain for this.

I think they will transform the color trick into the color feature they talked about, did you tried as sref instead?

Instand fan-ed you, bra. We should probably meet our AI models one day :D

5:07 That's not true, you can use more than one character reference in the --cref parameter and it's not necessary to use Vary Region to change a character to get them distinct from each other. It's not very effective with simple cartoon characters (--cref in general doesn't do well with cartoons) but it does work with more human characters.

Is it possible to use photos as characters style when creating niji characters? Niji to photo I know it work fine, but I have a hard time the other way around.

Hello, have you tried using the option to bring niji 6 anthro furry cat closer to the original images? I'm also curious why, when it works so well, --cref anthro furry and Cyberpunk can't duplicate the image exactly. How do I do the Midjourney v6 cw 100 realistic?

thank you for the great information, but unfortunately, I have tried but it doesn't work for architecture prompts yet. for example, if we want to have an interior view of the building which we generated before, I didn't work.

It's easy if you only make 1 consistent character. Try making 2 or more consistent characters that interact incorrectly, for example greeting, having breakfast, wearing the same clothes. very difficult

hello this is about image prompt , when i add a image link and i add some style prompt why there is a random face appearing on generated image

Is there a way to use more than 1 consistent character in a single scene? In other words, is it possible to use multiple references during the query?

I thought exporting the image externally and then uploading it back was a no-no. I thought you had to use native MidJourney images within MidJourney. Otherwise, how does MidJourney know the difference between that and a real picture of me that I upload, for example? Or will this work now with photos of real people?

I have tried to vary region on Alpha site to add in characters but not working. I will add them but won't do it if you add --cw to try to get the same character look and feel. See if you can do it. That will by pass having to use Photoshop to add multiple characters to a stories page. Maybe I just have to wait for Alpha to enter Beta..

Anyone knows if it's possible to change faces but keep the exact same clothes? So i would like to upload a suit from my own store and put it on different models? Is that possible and if so how do i do that?

Is all of this covered in your course at a slower pace? Your videos are the best but I need something slower!

How can I put plus +1 on iPad version for value?

Can multiple photos of a person be used to get a character that looks like the person?

I tried making a character, cref works WONDERS but my character almost ALWAYS has a black shirt, even when i describe an outfit it just won't change (it did put different clothes in a few instances but most of the time it just defaults to a black shirt, the cref image im linking literally only shows the character's face, no clothing whatsoever), how do i consistently fix that?

5:06 It sucks that we can’t generate multiple characters in a scene.

Just Curious, Why are you not using Midjourney Alpha?

We need consistent clothing design. the face, you can always swap that out.

👋 👍

Struggling with mouth closed. For some reason all images default to mouth WIDE open. Very strange.

💪💪💪💪💪

I must be missing something. You do the various face expressions to create an eliza2 but then do not seem to use 'eliza2' in any prompts. you just cref all the individual links??

how about full body

Oh wait I forgot, time to check if character reference works for pokemon.

Now that Alpha is out, you're still using Discord to create images. Why is that? FMPOV, I still prefer using Discord. I like having access to the Tuner Styles and Describe features.

This was a bit confusing, as you explain some things, but don’t really see you use it in your examples

this guy tries to be confusing to get you to spend money on his tutorials...which is fine, knock yourself out pal... but by making your fast-talking, fact-omitting videos 15 minutes long you are just pissing people off... you should be able to sell your tutorials in 5 minutes max...right now this video is a hybrid half-ass tutorial and mini qvc infomercial... i won't be watching this dude again...there are way too many options that are better at conveying information... i mean we are talking about AI midjourney prompts not Quantum Physics... not impressed...

Awesome job! Did you have any luck with non-human characters? For example, robots or monsters?

Hi bro i need help in midjourney issue i will be so grateful if u help me with it and if i can text u somewhere

Richard has so many amazing skills! @sidewaysdesign
