Cubism is also an African Artstyle, Batman the animated series takes allot from it because it is Jazz inspired

[@FutureTechPilot]

That's a really good point and I can see that inspiration now that you mention it. The entire opening credits really fits that description lol love that show

[@moosekeating]

Absolutely amazing. I'm relatively new to Midjourney and your videos are immensely helpful. Cheers!

[@FutureTechPilot]

I'm really glad to hear that!

[@jackcotner8981]

Another presentation with clear, concise, and valuable information. Thank you!

[@FutureTechPilot]

I'm glad to hear that, cheers!

[@crashdummyglory]

After you use an image as a image prompt you will need to hit a vary command ( with remix on )as this lets mj do a better and more coherent blend of prompt and image prompt. For mysterious reasons image prompts work best after you hit vary ( with remix on )

[@FutureTechPilot]

I'll have to go do some experiments!

[@wystemd]

thank you, cool information!

[@FutureTechPilot]

And thank you for taking the time to comment!

He's a time traveller! I have proof! Ten minutes ago I took his survey and asked two questions and here he is now answering those questions eight hours in the past. How does he do it!

[@FutureTechPilot]

😂 that's hilarious

[@miss69smart]

I knew he was smart and talented but this is mind blowing!!!!!lol🤣

[@MegaStoneyMahoney]

Love your videos. They have been helping me out a lot. I've run into an issue. I've been trying various different ways to blend characters into kind of Amalgam-Versions. But it doesn't work most of the time, any tips?

[@FutureTechPilot]

You could straight up try /blend? Not saying it will be perfect - and maybe you've already tried it - but that's what I would do

[@MegaStoneyMahoney]

@TechPilot The results of /blend are not at all satifactory. But I think I maybe found a way, to get good results. First the text prompt, then the image prompts (one for each character), then I use an image as a style-reference and finally --style raw. At least up until now, that has given me the best results. Still working on it though. EDIT: I forgot to mention, I give the first two images a IW of .5.

[@ArielBrito82]

Great!

[@FutureTechPilot]

Cheers!

[@AG_before]

I think it's great that you're moving ahead with your videos but not skipping some of the basics new users might need to know. Excellent approach. It was only when I watched this that it crossed my mind - What if there was a way to weight 'style' vs 'style raw'. That would be awesome! Thanks for the video. 👍

[@FutureTechPilot]

haha I think there would be soo many cool possibilities if the Midjourney team wanted the bot to be more complex - but it seems like they're drawn to a simplified version of AI

[@AG_before]

@@FutureTechPilot It's smart that they are I think. One way they could make the parameters even easier is keep the range of values the same for every one. Someone mentioned that in discord and I think it's simple and brilliant. I had completely forgotten the range for sref. So thank you for that. 👍 MJ is pretty much the nicest looking slot machine there is! You win most of the time, and when you win big, you win really big! Lol

[@FutureTechPilot]

@@AG_before lol it's soo weird that chaos goes from 0-100 and most other things go from 0 - 1000 but then weird goes from 0 - 3000 ... I've heard that changing the ranges isn't as simple as it sounds, but maybe they'll get around to it one day!

[@GreenbellyStudios]

Thank you for this, it is so helpful! For some reason I can’t accurately make the “dash dash” on my iPad Pro and have resorted to copying and pasting it in. Any suggestions?

[@FutureTechPilot]

I think you can change that in your keyboard settings ... there is some setting that is changing your -- to an 'em dash' ... or maybe try hitting 'backspace' as soon as the dashes change ... that might work sorry I'm not more help!

[@lunazamoraart]

In MJ a web you can just drag the image up. I can’t figure out how to use -iw. When I include 2 images. Thankyou. You are soooo helpful

[@FutureTechPilot]

I don't think the website is optimized for that yet. That's one of the reasons I choose to generate on Discord still ... but please let me know if you figure out how to do it!

[@lunazamoraart]

@@FutureTechPilot ok.

[@KingZero69]

i saw that Mac Finder... i see you joined team Apple 😂

[@FutureTechPilot]

👀 it was either pay a giant amount of money for a new PC or pay a lot of money for an amazing laptop haha I don't know if I'll ever get an Iphone though

[@KingZero69]

@@FutureTechPilot respect, i use a mac too, it’s great for making videos 💪

[@kieren7763]

Im a custom car builder and ive been trying out different car designs the problem im having is i will type in a specific car and if its not common it wont be the right car any ideas ?

[@FutureTechPilot]

Image prompting, but if Midjourney doesn't know the car, it's going to have trouble creating it

[@Deaflephant]

what times would you want to AVOID using --style raw?

[@FutureTechPilot]

When you write shorter prompts. As a general rule, shorter prompts are better in the default

[@lunazamoraart]

How to do the -iw on mj alpha? With 3 images ?

[@FutureTechPilot]

I actually don't know! Please let me know if you figure it out

[@lunazamoraart]

I wonder how it knows what beauty is

[@FutureTechPilot]

😂 right??

[@eurossocial]

great tutorial. Thank you for these Great tips. 👍 Personally i never use the "Niji", because i hate manga cartoons. 😊 I don't like that style, that's all.

[@FutureTechPilot]

Honestly you should try it and negative prompt like --no manga, cartoon haha you'd be surprised, maybe you'll like the results!

[@gtSpleen]

One problem that is really frustrating me. I am trying to create a rabbit with three ears. Midjourney and also DALE are completely ignoring any try implementing this idea. Even if I use an example... any ideas or is this a hard border for AI at the moment?

[@FutureTechPilot]

I would definitely try image prompting with a reference, but maybe you can also try in-painting? Vary (Region) underneath an upscale, and then maybe select where you want the third ear to go? that could work

[@gtSpleen]

@@FutureTechPilot Thanks a lot, I will try our ideas!

[@gtSpleen]

@@FutureTechPilot tried the whole evening, it seems as if Midjourney (and DALE) are told not to show stuff as a third ear. Possibly to be more realistic in most cases. Even giving the system pictures of rabbits with three ears, it just corrects them back to two (saying it has three)). Four was possible again. Also defining an area and telling to add another ear did not work. If anyone finds out how to get this going (breaking barriers seem to be hard implemented) I would be very glad to know! Anyway thank you a lot for your great videos! I am just starting with KI as a normal person, not really having a connection to my daily work, but understanding, that THIS will impact our whole society.

[@FutureTechPilot]

@@gtSpleen Very well said! Hopefully some of these frustrations get ironed out in future releases

[@gtSpleen]

@@FutureTechPilot Made it, create the picture first, then "Vary (Region)" for half the head. And in some cases (10-25%) the system does not detect, that there are already two ears and adds a third one. Telling the system still does not work, but like a genetic defect some random changes did it.

[@dianimartinez1477]

I can't create full body characters, it always cuts them off somewhere, any tips?

[@FutureTechPilot]

Vertical Aspect Ratio --ar 2:3 / and mention their shoes!

[@metrosoft]

MidJourney 6 does not listen to me with the camera angles. For example: "/imagine a warrior from a low angle shot" dont work in 6.0, but in 5.2 and previous works fine. you have not had this happen to you? (sorry for my bad english).

[@FutureTechPilot]

Camera angles are soo frustrating in Version 6. I probably should have mentioned that in this video... all I can say is that these tips aren't going to guarantee success, but they're exactly what I would do if I was having trouble

[@NizamulMulk.Hassan]

Actually Style Raw give a realistic and real life look to the image. Am I right?

[@NizamulMulk.Hassan]

But it doesn't work as good in niji

[@FutureTechPilot]

Yah it does for sure, but that's a result of it being less opinionated and listening to your words more - so when you don't pick an art style, it definitely defaults to realistic!

really?? dang. You can shoot me an email and I'll send you them if you want. ftp @ futuretechpilot .com

[@discoarcade_]

Nice video - can you apply both --iw and --sref in one command to build the composition but also reference the style?

[@FutureTechPilot]

Oh yah! I'll have a video about that idea soon

[@Coollsmalls4kTechArtist]

You should trying my art style .

[@FutureTechPilot]

What style is that

[@LouisGedo]

What's the deal with some sort of collaboration between Midjourney and Twitter I've heard being mentioned?

[@FutureTechPilot]

From what I can see, it's a combination of three separate pieces of info. 1. David has mentioned that he has been friends with Elon for more than a few years 2. Elon said something about allowing other ai's on Twitter 3. David recently mentioned an openness to collaborating with other AI labs this year I think it's a stretch to say they will be working together, and I think it's irresponsible for people to act like they're a super detective who can read between the lines. But, if there is a collaboration - like allowing Midjourney images to be prompted from Twitter - these would be the clues that led to that

[@LouisGedo]

@@FutureTechPilot Thanks for the info....... I didn't know anything about this until in passing I heard a quick soundbite on the radio I believe

[@FutureTechPilot]

@@LouisGedo the radio?? haha that's crazy. Maybe I missed some bigger clues!

[@LouisGedo]

@@FutureTechPilot I don't remember exactly where I "heard" it but it was on audio. But because I listen to a lot of YT videos, it may have been a video I was hearing while doing other tasks! 👍

[@eona]

I'm spending my days on MJ and I still can't keep up with all the new info! Drag the image? After the prompt?? And what's --sw ?! Oh god....

[@FutureTechPilot]

😂 I know that feeling
