So you've created your own character in Midjourney.
But now you'd also like to place your character in action scenes.
While it's relatively easy to add a background to an image, changing the camera angles and displaying your character with its full body is a whole different story.
In this tutorial, I'll show you how to orchestrate different parts of your prompt in order to place your character poses and live-action scenes.
This video is Part 2 of a longer series about Midjourney character design. Part 3 isn't quite ready yet, but it will be released within the next couple of days.

Even though you don't need all of these here - you have to be able to plan exactly ahead of time what you wantto do - that we call DESIGN for short.

I've been using MJ for film production look books / pitch decks. I"ve found that putting consistent character together into compositions , multiple consistent looking characters in one composition, is the advanced-level challenge I'm currently trying to solve. I have to scoff at the people who think using these AI's are extremely simple, easy as typing in what you want and getting it. Far from it. I'm using MJ, DALLE2 and Photoshop to mix multiple images into one composition, for most of the images we end up using for the book. There's way more work involved than most casual observers would imagine.

@TokenizedAI Жыл бұрын

Yep, that's why I'm also starting to refuse to engage with people who are just upset because they feel like their profession is at risk. All they see is that any average dude just needs to enter 2-3 words and MJ will output a surprisingly good-looking image. What they just don't understand is that as soon as you have a very specfic idea in mind, it's not that easy anymore. And I'd argue that most of them wouldn't be able to figure it out. It's a tool like any other that requires skill and that can only be learned by using it extensively.

Thanks! Yeah, hands still are a major problem. Only way to really fix this (in the short term), is by fixing them via inpainting either in DALL-E or Stable Diffusion. Though I believe DALL-E may be a bit more effective, given that MJ v4 actually uses Stable Diffusion.

@@TokenizedAI Stable Diffusion understands the prompt's semantics, and there are operators to group and isolate concepts from each other and prevent "cross-bleed" between concepts, such as in this video how you made sure gray color only appears on the jacket. This brings up the question why did you not use this prompt: Carla Caruso, ...., bright red hair::1 Carla wears a gray leather jacket::1. ...other stuff...

@TokenizedAI Жыл бұрын

Fair question. The main problem with that is that it tries to blend all the concepts together, sometimes losing important stuff unless you keep repeating the same elements in each segment. I got much better and more consistent results with a single segment. Multiprompts are great, but they're not always the right tool for every occasion.

It doesn’t make sense to put her name in even the first prompt if she’s not a known character. Furthermore, I don’t think adding the seed to completely different prompts (changed situations, environments, camera angles, etc.) makes any difference. As I understand it, the seed only is the value used to generate the initial noise pattern. If you use the same seed for the same prompt you should get very similar results, but change the prompt and you might as well forget the seed value. Also, I did an experiment recently and I think the seed parameter may be getting ignored in V4. I upscaled an image, got the seed and then used it with another prompt, but when I checked the seed values for the resulting images they had changed.

@TokenizedAI Жыл бұрын

You might believe that, but feel free to do some very structured tests and you'll see that it does make a slight difference. It's obviously not the same as using a known character because you can actually recognize a known character. But the unknown names end up being a blend of many different famous people who either shared that first or last name. And obviously, that makes sense since it's a scrape of the internet and who's photos show up most? Right.... celebrities. With regards to your statement about seeds, it's factually incorrect. v4 absolutely supports seeds. The reason why your results are confusing you is because upscales use entirely different seeds than a set of 4 variations. Which is logical, isn't it? How can a set of 4 images from an /imagine command share the same seed as a single upscale? They can't. So you're comparing apples with oranges here.

@thebluriam Жыл бұрын

What's really crazy to me is the fact that, even though her facial and sometimes body features are not exactly the same from scene to scene, my brain still recognizes her as Carla either way and not as a different person simply because her hair is close enough and her clothes are similar enough. Psychologically, what might this say about culture where there is a precedent set on a group of people wearing the same types of things and having roughly the same between each other being perceived by outsiders as all effectively being the same person and being treated the same.

From what I've heard, this method is less effective with non-human characters. You're going to have a difficult time getting multiple protagonists that have a very specific look into the same image. I honestly haven't tested it much either. I might be able to provide more insights in a week or two, but now right now. Alternatively, depending on how your illustrations look, you might be able to screate an empty scene first and then create the characters and their poses individually. And then photoshop them into the scene. Not ideal, I know. But that's all I can offer right now.

@TokenizedAI Жыл бұрын

Yep, that's possible. You'll just have to change the original prompt quite a bit. For a back view, you'll also have to avoid making references to her face (incl. "beautiful") because as soon as you do that, the AI thinks that it's an important part of the image.

I'm a bit confused, why don't you use text weights in these prompts while you talked about the importance of it in a previous video?

@TokenizedAI Жыл бұрын

Ha, good catch! Text weights are relevant when you can't seem to get the type of composition you wanted. In this case it was working quite well. I'll cover multiprompts and their applications in some other videos though.

I still don't get the whole seed thing. When I use any seed and comment with the envelope on the generated image, it showes me a clompletely different seed every time. It doesn't matter if I use reroll or not. The seed changes always. Any solution?

@TokenizedAI Жыл бұрын

The seed always changes, unless you've set it to a fixed number. If you're not setting the seed with the "--seed ANYNUMBER", then it's obviously going to change every time. Also bear in mind that seeds will be different for a set of 4 images generated with the /imagine command than the seed that you get from a single upscaled image. They are different.

@DiegoSilvaInstrutor Жыл бұрын

@@TokenizedAI What is the difference between using a fixed seed? Can I set a seed right at the first prompt? Do you have a video or can you address this subject better? What are the advantages and disadvantages of using a fixed seed? I would be grateful if you could respond to my comment and congratulations again for your great classes.

@jonathanfesmiresteampunkau6983 Жыл бұрын

Does the seed somehow tell Midjourney exactly what the character's face looks like?

@TokenizedAI Жыл бұрын

No, not really. The seed is just a value that adds "noise" to the command. When you don't set a seed, it uses a random value. If you set a seed, it keeps the "noise" value constant. While this might lead to consistent facial features, it doesn't strictly determine what the face looks like. That also depends on your prompt.

So I'm having trouble... I have my character but had an image link in the original prompt. Now I'm afraid it's too strong to allow me to change the environment. My character is pretty well defined with the right clothing, but I can't change the environment or pose even with weights

@TokenizedAI Жыл бұрын

Sounds like either your image prompt or your character description is too dominant (I'm assuming it's just 1). Have you tried creating a second image reference that provides more context in terms of composition? You should probably watch part 3 of this series too.

@@raphaelamido8785 Doing it for 2 or more protagonists in the same scene is difficult (maybe even impossible right now). As I said, you'll have to feed 3-4 images from different angles as image prompts. Ideally also full body photos, otherwise it thinks that you want a portrait or close angle shot. I would recommend creating separate images using a seed and then post-process them together manually in Photoshop. Just the only idea I can think of right now.

Buddy, sorry you're making your self a fool... that isn't how seed work, it's totally pointless what you did with "emojis reactions" and re-running the seed... you're not "training" Midjourney in anything... please read the paper and the details of how it works... specially v4. Don't fool your self thinking a machine learning algorithm trained with several billions of images that your 15 emojis reactions does any difference to it... Try this: Remove the seed completely, and re-run all the prompts... you'll see the same thing... It's not the "seed" doing anything special... as Midjourney clearly says in their docs... The seed is JUST THE NOISE added to the source noise!!! So you're not TRAINING Midjourney in anything... and the fact that you can drop the NAME of the character is because it's a useless part of your prompt!! It doesn't match anything that Midjourney has in their data set, so as a useless part of the prompt it was ALWAYS ignored anyways!

@TokenizedAI Жыл бұрын

Thanks for your comment. 🙂 Not really sure why you're referring to "training" right here because I don't mention it in this specific video. Literally not a single time. Everything you've mentioned has already been discussed ad nauseam in the comments of the video you are referring to as well as this one. I've also pinned one specifically for that purpose. I am also aware of the fact that a seed is just noise. I don't recall making any statements specifically linking the seed to "training". Yes, I used the word "train" in the first video, though I specifically put it in quotation marks. However, your statement that setting a specific seed has no purpose is factually incorrect. Since you referred to the Midjoureny Docs, please have another read through the very first paragraph. It contains this sentence: "Using the same seed number and prompt will produce similar ending images". So it does have a purpose and in the context of these videos, I don't see why you have an issue with that. Anyway, appreciate your comment, even though it seems that I may have upset you quite a bit. Sorry about that. I hope your day isn't ruined because of me 😉 I'll be moving on now.
