Today's video covers a topic that I believe will be particularly interesting for anyone who frequently sketches out their ideas.
So, I'm looking at all of the architects, interior designers, but also other types of illustrators and designers.
Despite the great advancements in generative AI, sometimes it's just easier to capture your ideas with a quick sketch or scribble.
And while you can't really import a sketch directly into Midjourney, you can still use it to create photorealistic representations that are close enough.
This is especially helpful for those who want to give their clients an idea of what the concept might look like in real life.
And the beauty of doing it in Midjourney is that you can also create variations of the interiors with ease.
For those of you who are unfamiliar with Midjourney's Remix Mode, this will give you a good idea of what it can be used for and how powerful it is when used correctly.
I hope you enjoy today's tutorial. More to come soon! :)

Fascinating approach! Once again you're taking Midjourney to new places!

[@TokenizedAI]

Remix confuses so many people. It confused me too initially.

[@manfrombkk]

Just found your channel today, and after watching a few of your videos, I subscribed !! Love your clear presentation style and your curiosity driven learned techniques. Literally waiting to see what you do with the forthcoming MidJourney 6 release. Especially natural language prompting and 3D (fingers crossed). Also, because of your channel and the advent of MidJourney 6, I took the plunge on the 1 year Pro subscription. Felt this is money well spent, and even with Firefly enabled Photoshop, will probably not renew my Photoshop CC subscription in late summer. What a wonderful time to be creative.

[@TokenizedAI]

Oh wow, even I don't have a full year's subscription because I up- and downgrade based on actual usage 😆 But thank you so much! PS: Regarding 3D. Don't count on it for v6. But that's just my guess.

Great video ! thanks

[@andreamuller8468]

Hammer 😀 danke!

[@lgrindrod3474]

Interesting. I look forward to playing with this soon. It could be helpful for a project. Thank you.

[@TokenizedAI]

Remix can be really useful in certain situations. Apparently MJ is revamping how it works, so it'll be interesting to see how this changes over time.

[@zarzacreativeworks5507]

Awesome. I'm going to use this for non architectural illustrations. I've been pounding my head against the wall trying to get the composition and subjects of my sketches rendered via Midjourney. Thank you! Is there a prompt that will saturate the color?

[@nic-ori]

Thanks.

[@DrNothing23]

Great process, but I was really hoping for a direct side by side at the very end of the original sketch and final outcome, after the image evolution shots. Only thing I'd change. :)

[@TokenizedAI]

Next time!

Excellent approach and teaching

[@TokenizedAI]

Glad you think so!

[@iamwaterproof]

This is great. Thanks. But is it fair to say that you are not changing your sketches into renders, but images that look similar to your sketch?

Try Chainner for upscaling.

[@dm.b7560]

How to do the oposite conversion?

[@anvohoang503]

nice

[@maxwell-cole]

Though I don’t do interior design, this is fascinating and can be used for other purposes.

[@TokenizedAI]

Definitely should work for other use cases too.

[@FreibierDas]

I would like to know if you specifically wanted to focus on the remix option for this or if you tried other methods also but the outcome was not as desired or turned out to be too complex. I'm thinking of combining constant subjects + your "theme infusion" method iE.

[@TokenizedAI]

I specifically wanted to use Remix but I also don't think you'll get more fidelity with any other method, unless you use external tools.

[@FreibierDas]

@@TokenizedAI Another funny thing I noticed is that during you altered the style step-by-step MJ cooked the picture down to only represent your prompted subject and background. The bookshelf disappeared pretty fast and the dining area devolved into single chairs on the balcony and then vasnished completly. Almost like inpainting :)

[@TokenizedAI]

Good catch. I guess it just goes to show how important the text prompt is, even when working with image references.

[@easyeasegraphics]

Hello Heidorn uncle, can we first make like this: I hand draw the room, then hand draw 2 -3 different character then generate AI to place them inside room ? Can you make a tutorial like that?

[@Dazreil]

You could mirror the image before image prompting it. Also I’ve just got a 8 minute Vision Pro ad.

[@TokenizedAI]

I don't control the ads. Complain to Apple or get YT Premium. 😅

[@Dazreil]

@@TokenizedAI not complaining, just commenting that you're getting some top quality 8 minute ad for a device that isn't released til next year 😀

[@TokenizedAI]

Was it an unskippable ad? 😳

[@darianapro2560]

Do you have a course for Deforum?

[@TokenizedAI]

This is Midjourney, not Stable Diffusion.

[@heredownunder]

I’ve started using remix mode more and more. Even going back to old MJ images and adding an image reference to the remix.

[@TokenizedAI]

It's definitely underrated. Especially with the recent updates.

[@zobbizobba2088]

Very interesting but i think it works because the space you work with is very generic (a rectangle), i tried it with something more complex and it does't work at all cause its inventing a space that is NOT mine at all…

[@TokenizedAI]

That's quite possible, but then that's not directly related to the "remix" part of the process but rather the initial sketch. And unfortunately that just not something that MJ covers right now, I'm afraid.

[@Gee-bz7kp]

is there an ai walkthrough app that could handle renders like is, in keyframes?

[@TokenizedAI]

I don't even know what an "AI walkthrough app" is 😬

[@Gee-bz7kp]

@@TokenizedAI it would be like a 3D visualization of a design scheme

[@VesnaMackovic]

Maybe these 2 solutions are useful for situations when preserving shapes of sketches is needed: kzbin.info/www/bejne/sITOe4WEga-ritU and kzbin.info/www/bejne/pHelh6xtaLqhgMk

[@filmdesigner]

Honestly, very nice work if being impressed with pretty pictures is the goal, but the reality is none of the results actually match what you started with. Midjourney - as all common AI applications - suffer from a random nature that makes them almost useless in a real situation. As an interior designer these images are not useful. As an architect they are almost dangerous. In the end its all in the detail. If an AI can't produce your work in the detail its useless. So, if you are concerned about AI taking your work from you you should only worry if you are only producing pretty images. That said, I give it 12 months and then AI will do exactly as I describe.

[@TokenizedAI]

As you said. Give it 12 months. Rome wasn't built in a day.

[@Ton369]

shoulda done a side by side. Original 9:15 Final 9:46

[@TokenizedAI]

Shoulda, woulda, coulda....in hindsight, you're right Next time 😁

[@UnderMyPalm]

Midjourney sucks at this kind of stuff. Not being able to 'convert the style' of an existing image but get "quite close" as you say after enough re-rolls. Photoshop will end midjourney, just a matter of time.

[@TokenizedAI]

Midjourney wasn't meant to do this sort of stuff. I'm just showing how one might achieve a similar result. I'm not saying there aren't better options out there, but they all cost extra.

[@JoJo-nm1dh]

where is the dining table? that way you can't present it as a final rendering, rather just a replacement or compliment to the early stage sketches.
