Midjourney + Blender Is Crazy

[@devlad]

On Midjourney, there's also a flag to making tiling textures, which is insanely powerful

[@fightfearfirefoes]

Hey man how do you activate this option, I can’t find it 😂

[@equinox_night]

@@fightfearfirefoes add "--tile" to the end of your prompt :)

[@bodhiwijn]

@@equinox_night THANK YOU!

[@bodhiwijn]

@@equinox_night you’ll need to add ‘- v 3’ as well, since V4 won’t support it yet though!

[@equinox_night]

@@bodhiwijn ohh good to know! Thank you

[@FulguroGeek]

If you want to get most a time a specific view like front view you can ask it to, A circle of intricate aztec patern engraved in metal, font view, symetric, you can add as much precision as you want in your prompt

[@Nipahc]

Exactly what I was going to say.... totally can ask it.

[@uk3dcom]

Hey Max it's perhaps worth mentioning you don't have to go outside of Blender 3d to do the same thing now. In fact using Stable diffusion inside Blender is much quicker and has many added benefits. Dream textures allows for auto mapping and depth maps and a whole bunch of other useful 3d implementations. Additionally AI render is worth a look too.

[@mujahidfaruk2152]

Midjourney's so so so much better currently though

This is a really fast way to get this high detailed stuff. I used it to make buildings in a like gothic style. Just for some background objects and it worked quite well.

[@theslicenetwork]

I don't support fully AI generated cgi or vfx but what I DO support is AI assistance. Using these tools to speed up workflows I think will become incredibly useful 👍

[@tyler.walker]

What about Snapchat filters? Those are graphics generated by a computer, CGI. Where do you draw the line? Inevitably, without fail, these tools will be used to automate the entire process of content creation, from idea formation to the final edit, sound design, and style. It's going to put people out of jobs, like myself who works in the television industry as an editor. But it's inevitable, and it's awesome that it's even possible at all. I fully support AI development in all of its forms.

[@pladselsker8340]

​@@tyler.walker I don't think humans will stop creating because of AI art. Some will stop, I agree. Others will try to do everything they can to keep some control on the final result. One thing I'm sure of: for those who only care about putting into the real world what they have in their heads, they won't stop at all; they'll double down to make their dreams come true.

[@tyler.walker]

@@pladselsker8340 I definitely agree with this. I don't see any of this as a replacement for art in it's truest form: an expression of creativity. I see AI art as a threat to the commodification of art-based skills, which is painful in the short-term, and we're all going to go through growing pains over the next few decades as we sort through the automation of an increasing number of jobs. But I think it's inevitable and ultimately, I think it's a good thing overall. The democratization of something is always a good thing.

[@visionevo]

Is your tub full of tears yet 😢

[@tyler.walker]

@Bleh Style cannot be copyrighted. Uploading your art to an online platform such as DeviantArt instantly gives them legal rights to sell that image as part of a training dataset, per the Terms and Conditions. No art has been "stolen" in any way, shape, or form. It's just that the value of artists has suddenly and drastically decreased due to new technology. The same thing happened to horse-and-buggy manufacturers.

[@synthbendati]

What a great and fast way of adding crazy details to scene elements

[@MetabrainsAI]

Great idea! You can throw your favorite texture photos in to midjourney after using /describe. It'll generate 4 super detailed prompts that will likely describe how to consistently generate front facing photos

[@NateCAnimation]

you can also put it into the displacement for cool effects

[@locouno1065]

Displacement map?

[@Syfmuna]

This is so cool dude, subbed and hoping you show more ideas of how to use Midjourney and Blender together ❤️

[@mine_raidz1514]

I found if u add “ texture image, front facing texture image for material” to the front of your prompt it will make it face the camera more often instead of being on an angle

[@aveycat]

at ~5:10, when you talk about it being hit or miss on the perspective, try adding "front perspective" or something along those lines to the prompt

[@TheROZ]

You're implementation of the phrase "but, whatever" is majestic.

[@gabrielegagliardi3956]

That's the attitude i like, instead of whining about AI like most of the people you directly integrated it in your workflow. I enjoy when someone has a progressive attitude towards technology. Amazing result pal, you are very talented.

[@itsMBWAAA]

super cool dude! Liked and subbed

[@itsMBWAAA]

suddenly I'm reminded of every DMT experience I've ever had

[@fisherman10101]

thanks Max, great vid as always.....you can try a couple of things to take this idea up a level. Firstly try using the texture as a normal/bump map, also you could try using the texture as a displacement map but you'd have to use cycles render and lots of geometry.....anyway just some food for thought

[@samcollinsdesign]

check out realtime displacement in "eevee next" the combination of this technique with the power of eevee next will be pretty interesting.

[@converterOneAI]

Thanks for your work.

[@tdotg2161]

I've been using Midjourney and Stable Diffusion to bring my 3D creations to another level. I am definitely embracing AI technology as another tool! Great vid Max! 🙏🏽👏🏽

[@ThunderThouin]

Just add four little words that will prove to be true in the future : '...for the time being'

[@aceparable1]

The easier your work becomes, the less likely anyone will buy it. In the near future people will make their own entertainment right on their TVs and phones. "Hey Siri. Make me a Spielberg style movie about aliens fighting robot whales, starring a 25 year old Keanu Reeves with 30% more muscle definition." No more creators or performers. But it sounds great as a consumer.

[@kaidan725]

​@@aceparable1 Exactly what I've been thinking after interacting with AI celebrating artists. They only see the short term convenience, not to the fact no one will be motivated to create new things with their own minds in the future. Only AI generated overflowing images and products that people don't even value would remain.

[@Lancer95_305]

​@@aceparable1 thank u the voice of reason 👏👏👏

[@lamski3286]

[@CryptobdSchool]

I personally think BlueWillow is far better than MJ. BW is 100% free tool. Though BlueWillow is so early stage. I experimented with BW, and I'm really amazed by the results

[@edwinblackman7037]

[@bigscheesy4982]

Its pretty cool but doesn't really impress beyond novelty, part of my appreciation of visuals is the knowledge of how hard or time consuming they are to accomplish, so assistance this extreme, while cool looking, isn't really better looking or more impressive to me than non ai workflows.

[@HunterChrisp]

Same here. Still cool though I guess? Haha

[@CameronKusmaul]

I used this as well its so good for references that you normally cant get as easily on google, or from google at all.

[@AmineOuldKaci]

So how exactly is this new or different from simply googling and stealing somebodys image and run it through Blender?

[@Mageblood]

AI doesn't steal images. People with 75IQ think that.

[@KangarooBoss21]

try adding " "front view" or "front perspective" to the prompt! i'm sure that will work wonders

[@gabriellamontez-np7nq]

one word, INCREDIBLE ! 😄 Can I work this process using BlueWillow instead of Midjourney? Please please share .

[@DjBolt11]

I understand why many artist and designers are outrage but how does one not take advantage of this? Whether we want to or not, A.i is here to stay. So why not take advantage of it and use it with your are. I do it and find it to be such a loop hole in to getting my art done a lot faster. It’s like your own personal assistant

[@Und3adNigthmar3]

sorry if this is a dumb question, I am very inexperienced with these kinda things: could you import these things in unreal engine to create assets?

[@popilikitt5173]

Yas you'd just have to recreate the materials with Unreal's node system, but with the same textures and 3D models you could !

[@_casg]

No against AI art But Ai PBR materials and Ai HDRI is here Bois, All we need next is AI geometry nodes And AI simulation mode system. The FUTURE IS NOW

[@BadMouseRM]

You can also try to convert them into height maps ;)

[@aceparable1]

People are in straight up denial. Embracing this means very, very short term gains. The inevitable conclusion is entertainment created BY the audience. You will not be part of that transaction. No you will not pivot to "prompt writer". That will never be a job. Skill is the greatest barrier to art, not ideas.

[@TheShinorochi]

[@hudhayfajohansson866]

WOuld really have loved to see how you actually used midjourney in those first two examples. The first example is it the same technique of glass ball with the golden texture from midjourney?

you create your own server, then go into midjourney server and click on the bot on the right and you can invite the bot into your server.

[@kramerjack]

You can replace "2d" by "front view"

[@twitterglobalarmy]

Midjourney should think about raising their 25 free limit right away. Otherwise AI like Leonardo, Blue Willow will more popular day by day

[@GolpokothokRaktim]

Exactly. I used Blue Willow recently and experiment with it. It recently launched V2 with a brand new model upgrade. Now I got more better-quality images with more aesthetic outputs
