Create Consistent Characters in Midjourney (AI Influencer FULL PROCESS) CREF
TLDRThe video introduces a new feature in Midjourney called character consistency, which allows users to maintain the unique characteristics of a generated character across different images. By adding 'D-CF' at the end of a prompt and providing an image reference, Midjourney can recreate the character with consistent features like eye color and overall appearance. The feature is particularly effective for characters generated within Midjourney and can be adjusted with the 'CW' parameter to modify the reference strength. It can also blend information from multiple images using multiple URLs. The precision is limited and won't replicate specific details like dimples or logos. The feature is available for both niji and normal models and can be combined with style references for consistent styles. This opens up possibilities for creating narratives and stories using AI, and can be used to craft films and AI influencers. The community response has been positive, and the video concludes with a call to action for viewers to subscribe for more AI updates.

Q & A
What is the most requested feature in mid-journey that has been introduced?
-The most requested feature in mid-journey is character consistency, which allows users to maintain the characteristics of a character across different images.
How do you use the character consistency feature in mid-journey?
-To use the character consistency feature, you enter '--CF' at the end of your prompt and paste in an image reference. This image will be used by mid-journey to maintain the character's characteristics.
What happens if you add a prompt that describes the character or the differences you want in the new image?
-Adding a prompt that describes the character or desired differences allows you to further customize the new image while still maintaining the core characteristics of the character.
How can you change the aspect ratio of the generated image?
-You can change the aspect ratio of the generated image by specifying the desired ratio in your prompt, such as '9 by 16' for a vertical orientation.
What does the character weight (-CW) parameter do in the mid-journey prompt?
-The character weight (-CW) parameter modifies the reference strength on a scale of 0 to 100, allowing you to focus more on the face with a lower weight or maintain the entire character's appearance with the default weight of 100.
How can you create different scenes with your character using mid-journey?
-You can create different scenes with your character by changing the prompt to include various contexts, such as 'night portrait' or 'in a city', and then generating a collection of images.
What are the limitations of the character consistency technique?
-The character consistency technique has limited precision and won't copy exact details like dimples, freckles, or specific logos, so it's not suitable for transferring very specific details across every image.
Can the character consistency feature be used with both niji and normal mid-journey models?
-Yes, the character consistency feature works for both niji and normal mid-journey models, allowing for consistent character creation across different types of models.
How does the character consistency feature open up possibilities for creative productions?
-The character consistency feature enables users to create stories, entire worlds, and full narratives with mid-journey, which can then be used in AI filmmaking and the creation of AI influencers.
How can you use the mid-journey Alpha website to create character consistency?
-On the mid-journey Alpha website, you can drag or paste an image into the 'Imagine' bar and select whether it is an image prompt, style reference, or character reference using the provided icons.
What has been the community's response to the character consistency feature?
-The response to the character consistency feature from the mid-journey community has been overwhelmingly positive, with users expressing gratitude and excitement for the new capabilities it offers.
What is the potential of combining character consistency with style reference (SRF) in mid-journey?
-Combining character consistency with style reference (SRF) allows users to maintain not only the same characters but also a consistent style across images, enhancing the creative workflow and production quality.
