This is one we've all been waiting for!!! Let's GOOOO!

[dimkadimon]

I feel that Ronaldo and Messi will work even if you leave out the new prompts, because they are well known by the model. So these are not good examples.

[sonjamargot]

Yes!!! I was waiting for that feature!

[jmg]

So hyped for this. I just got alpha yesterday and now this. Ahh life's good =)

Nice video! I'm currently working on a manga/comic spinoff of Solo Leveling with this feature. Glad to see others also using a similar process.

[MinhNguyễn-stt]

This is so awesome. Thank you for sharing the news and the techniques.

Can we do this for two kids/ characters in the same screens?

[Artiiligence]

[vidguy]

Hiya Curtis! Are we gunna talk on Discord about that animation project I told you about?

[Raven-elfPrincess]

Thank you, this was very well explained and very helpful!

[linaos]

Can i make this with photo of myself??

[MrJimpurvis]

Can you do a video how to render our own head shots photos consistently in mid journey.. I want to use my wife's likeness in her YouTube videos

[FactasticCreations]

Please show how to use it on the website too please

[jyy]

cref doesn't work with Niji5, it does work with Niji 6 though

[GuillaumeBesson]

I wish it was working better for pets. If you upload an image of a dog that has original features then it fails to reproduce the markings / stains properly (Think Dalmatiner). I hope they will work more on this cref feature. That would be really awesome.

[mikelabbe]

I have followed the instructions however the person does not look like the uploaded image. Any help would be very much appreciated.

[KaterinaSpirina-skjv]

thank you!!! I have tried to create my character i need content for social nets but it didnt work really well. Probable MJ knows Messi and that was easy to create the same person but not ordinary people

Hi there, congrats for your channel, just subscribed. I am trying to recreate a cartoon image (bitmoji or caricature style) in different poses, dont care particuralrly about the face, do you know any way to do that in Midjourney?

[JohnSmith-eu]

Your example with the image weight zero was pretty silly. You instructed the model to pretty much ignore the image. You could have basically removed the image reference and typed in the prompt and had the same, or similar results.

[Los_Leto]

I dunno why its not working for me lol. I give it images of myself and some weird dude comes out T__T
