The secret sauce is the --cw parameter. It is set to 100, which tries to keeps 100% of the input, so that is why the shirt stays the same. Lower values (even 0) will keep the facial features a lot of the time, but will adapt the clothes and lighting according to the prompt.

[@glibatree]

Definitely a good parameter to experiment with. I thought keeping the clothes was a useful feature to showcase for this video (because my old Consistent Character Technique didn't really support that), but I can think of a ton of use cases where you would prefer a lighter character weight

[@HoofCreaition]

@@glibatree I thought so, you did mention keeping the striped shirt will help the recognisability of the character. But of people that want to see their character dressed like a fireman of astronaut, this helps. I did try to put myself in it, you did a far better job of that than what I managed to do. I look like a mad dwarf ready to eat anybody's soul at the drop of a dime. Must experiment more with that...

[@aidylweiss.]

I love this and I love your videos!! I'm just learning how to use Midjourney and your content has been so helpful. I'm actually mindblown 😂 It's just amazing. Thank you so much!

[@user-df2fe1en9i]

Thanks for this! Very helpful, trying it now . . .

[@JeremiahKindred]

Hands down the best explanation on youtube!

[@thewebstylist]

Great video thanks and I’ll try uploading a bunch of images of me as I used one yesterday and I looked terrible in the outputs, older and harder face so I’ll give it a try with 5 images and hope can get to work as -cref is working great creating new character w consistency

[@glibatree]

Good luck, do let me know how it goes!

[@jaydez_]

awesome! thank you

[@mofee6245]

Thank you, but what is the solution for those who don’t have access to the midjourney website. Discord only works with an url but my images on my computer have no url😅

[@Xplorer228]

I just can’t seem to get a single character that looks like me. Guess I don’t have “one of those faces” lol

[@sebgsell51]

Thanks for your video, i uploaded 10 photos and tried a lot different parameters and desciptions, but always 10 or 20 years old more than the picture lol

[@undoriel]

Haha, I get completely opposite results. I look babyface on all of the outputs :D

[@aysegultosyal1773]

How can we add our own captured image as the background?

[@agnesslovehealz]

Exciting

[@biancadupont2931]

I can't seem to add images I don't have that option in my "home " screen....

[@UnchartedWorlds]

So its possible to make pics of our selfs? I thought in first release that would not be possible, as they were afraid people would misuse this feature.

[@glibatree]

Yeah I am surprised to, but I found it was very effective at creating me - and it seems like other people are having similar results. Doesn't work for everyone - but I'm loving it...

[@joaquinfanjul8592]

Good afternoon, tomorrow May 5 in Spain is Mother's Day, with the previous version of MID JOURNEY on Discord I knew how to fit your face on another character but now I use the alpha version, could you help me to remember my mother and give her a new character. In short, how can you include a face in a character, a portrait, in the alpha version? Thank you very much in advance

[@dreamzdziner8484]

This is insane. GPT is so powerful. Now we will see many people on mountains or scenic locations in insta😁

[@digidope]

We have had this for a loooong time now as open source and free. Thats how all the AI influencers are done. Midjourney just keeps lagging behind, but it finally got ipAdapter that was released 8 months ago.

[@Farrahkhan789]

Thanks alot❤

[@glibatree]

Glad you enjoyed!

[@AlanBerry]

Great work. Why do all the Chat responses have your name in them? Does that help the prompt?

[@glibatree]

I'm kinda playing a long game here, but both DALLE and Midjourney are models that get regularly retrained. I am dreaming that, because I really trust that artworks that come out of my GPT, the Glibatree tag will become a useful filter that improves the quality to the end result. I also like seeing "Glibatree prompt" show on Midjourney's front page or in random blogs and news articles hahaha

[@rogerh999]

Thanks man. Glibatree is my absolute favorite. After generating four images, I turn around and put the best one in my GPT called the Canvas Critic. After a lengthy critique, it regenerates the image and I’d say 60% of the time, the image comes out even better, frosting on my cake! Thanks for updating yours consistently.

[@aspenlog7484]

insane

[@sloppyjoe3617]

Great video! I find Midjourney still has trouble with me, a female; it gets some parts right but the images still aren't "me". MJ has a tendency to make women unrealistically beautiful imo. It does my husband really well, though.

[@glibatree]

That does make sense, I may have to experiment a little for the best ways to counteract that. Glad you liked the video, and good luck on your generations!

[@zizostriker465]

I followed the same steps exactly but with sorry its not give me result of me

[@jesse8068]

Hey man, what happened to your GPT?

[@TheJohnCooperShow]

does this only work in midjourney alpha?

[@dahnishaw9177]

if someone could tell me how to get on this beta site he is using that would be noice!

[@samferriere5730]

I saw something about have 10,000 generations..but i could be wrong. I dont have it either...I dont think many do yet.

[@rossobosso]

somehow that doesn´t work with my face - it always generates characters a bit similar to me, but never, really never, I got results like you did in the video. Also someone from J said, sref doesn´t work with own images? it´s really weird, but i never got any character looking like me, no matter how many images I tried :D

[@Los_Leto]

Same! I cant get it to work for the life of me, maybe some humans are easier to create since their look is more common? It keep making a weird old ugly version of me lol.

[@samferriere5730]

I'm the same soooo frustrating!! I always look awful and I hate the pics..lol!

[@samferriere5730]

@@Los_Leto same for me! I'm starting to wondr the same.

[@Los_Leto]

@@samferriere5730 I haven’t tried the multi angle photos with same shirt and white background tho. I will try that when I have time. Was hoping it could just take a slew of random pictures of me, but may need more concise references.

[@jesse8068]

Wonderful video! Thank you. And I'm a big fan of your GPT. (assume we take off the "glibatree prompt" at the end, as well?)

[@glibatree]

Thanks so much! Glad you enjoyed!

[@glibatree]

And to your edit, yeah totally welcome to take the glibatree prompt off, but I have never had it hurt a prompt. I just like to see them on the popular feed haha :)

[@champisagooSF]

I have written a very interesting book and I want to publish this book through midjourney or other platforms with video pictures and audio. Can you do this for me? I’m ready to pay or you can suggest me who can do this for me.

[@AfrimaxEnglish]

You're a great man on this platform 👏

[@Blootrix]

Is there a limit to how many reference images you can use?

[@glibatree]

You can only select up to 20 image prompts at a time. That can be a mix of character references, style references, and regular image prompts, or all of any of those. In discord there is a separate character limit, I think 4000.. so it mainly depends on the length of your links.

[@r.g1654]

🎉Well it really depends about your face. You're actually quite lucky that it works with yours. Most of the time it fails.

[@glibatree]

I'd say it depends way more on the prompt matching the face itself. Inconsistencies between the prompt and the characters (or lack of description) makes Midjourney really suffer

[@Sevren-pv5ee]

This is great but how’s it different than taking photos with green screen and using backdrops from around the world. The face would be real.

[@glibatree]

Poses, expressions, and lighting match the dynamics of the scene with little to no effort on my part. I find this a very impressive feature, that I think many people have been waiting for

[@LouisGedo]

👋

[@lylturningpoint3358]

Im having trouble doing this on mobile without access to fo the Beta website. But i watched the video while driving, gonna have to rewatch. 🎉🎉🎉 AWESOME

[@dhickma]

Yeah, try not to drive a vehicle while watching also watching a video. Even if you're ok with the risk, the rest of us don't feel the same way.

[@lylturningpoint3358]

@@dhickma I was listening not watching, that how I missed the instructions. It's hands free on Bluetooth

[@biancadupont2931]

oh and I see mid journey alpha is not available for everyone so how you are doing things is not of much use to us under 1k image producers...

[@henryskillz1090]

GREAT VIDEO worked for me BUT...Midjounrey sucks at doing people of darker skin (AFRICAN) never on point

[@biancadupont2931]

yall talk way to fast

What if you change the KZbin playback speed to 0.5?
