    I keep getting "custom option removed," and I THINK I'm following the tutorial. Will keep working on it.

      Make sure you are entering something in the value text box before pressing enter.

    Love your videos so much! Can you make a tutorial video on FlexClip’s AI tools? Really looking forward to that!

    Thanks for this great video! Will support your channel and watch you grow. Do you know if Midjourney is good with image to avatar and then making consistent characters out of the avatar. Would like to try and make a pixar avatar short story of myself in different backgrounds to create one story. What would you recommend?

    • @aiconcoction

      I'm glad you enjoyed the video. I think Midjourney is great for what you want to do, but you will have to use another tool to animate your avatar. I have a video on how to create talking avatars using the artflow ai tool. One of the images I used in that video, the African American woman, was created in Midjourney. You mentioned you wanted an avatar of yourself. Remember, Midjourney cref feature works best with images generated with Midjourney, so you probably shouldn't use a photo of yourself.
      Edit: I misread your post, I thought you meant a talking avatar. Sorry. Nevertheless, I think Midjourney would be great for what you want to do.

    Beautiful and, above all, VERY USEFUL video tutorial... Spectacular, THANK YOU SO MUCH.
    One question, though.
    To access Midjourney, do you have to use the discord? Or, what is the right option?
    Kindly, can you tell me what it is or what the links are?
    Thank you infinitely in advance... You are great

    • @aiconcoction

      Thank you for the kind words. Midjouney can be used on their website. I think using the website is only available to users who have generated at least 1000 images, but I'm not sure if that is still the case. The website is www.midjourney.com, and you do need a paid subscription.

    Hi ! Do you know if there's a way to add 2 characters ?
    Thank you for this video!

    • @aiconcoction
      @aiconcoction  23 дні тому

      I haven't tested multiple consistent characters using the cref parameter, but I might do so in the near future.

    Great video, but for some reason, this method or any other method describeb in other videos work, can you are there any settings that need to be set, before attempting --cref and --cw? Thanks for the great video!

    • @aiconcoction
      @aiconcoction  18 днів тому +1

      It's hard to say why you are not getting the results you want without more information. I didn't set any special setttings beforehand. Are you using style raw? Some tricks I discovered after I posted this video: 1. If you are getting inconsistent resuls, try including the original prompt along with the cref parameter - remove anything you would like to change, like clothing description 2. Use the same parameters across generations, for example if you set the style parameter to 100 in your reference image, use this same value for the other generations. 3. Maybe try using style raw so Midjourney adheres more closely to the prompts. I hope this helps.

      Just leave the value empty and the option will be removed.

      Are you trying to copy the link or download the image? Try clicking on the image. Then right click on the popup.

    @jessb4035 26 днів тому +1

    so which one do you prefer and think is more consistent the midjouney or the chat gptt?????

    • @aiconcoction
      @aiconcoction  23 дні тому +1

      I think it depends on what you want. They both are generally good at generating consistent characters, and both are not perfect. Midjourney is better in generating photo realistic images, while Dalle-3 is better with illustrations. For instance, if you want to create a consistent Instagram influencer, go with Midjourney, but if you want more child-like consistent characters, Dalle-3 may be better.

    Hi ! I followed all steps but... no results, they say ---cref is not compatible with V 5.0😔

    • @aiconcoction
      @aiconcoction  16 днів тому

      It's only compatible with version 6 and Niji 6.

  • @kriskoeh6901
    @kriskoeh6901 6 днів тому +1

    Yeah this is not working for me. Unfortunately. Each time the character is different. I’m not a novice user but thinking it’s the level of detail in my character (specific color of glasses, etc.)

    • @aiconcoction
      @aiconcoction  5 днів тому

      Midjourney states that precise details likely wouldn't be copied. I usually get good results as far as the face and overall outfit go, but sometimes I have to reroll the prompt many times before I get a good result, and usually there are some minor differences. Have you tried using Midjourney's vary region tool?

  • @marcet2022
    @marcet2022 5 днів тому +1

    How did you get - copy link - as an option?

    • @aiconcoction
      @aiconcoction  5 днів тому

      If you are using Midjourney in Discord, right click on the image then click copy link. If you don't see that option, try left-clicking on the image, then right click on the popup. If you are using it on Midjourney's website, right click on the image then select copy image address.

      Midjourney is not free. You can find the subscription plans here: docs.midjourney.com/docs/plans. There are free alternatives available.

    I get a message "Custom option Nina removed!" When I set the option. Why is it?

    • @aiconcoction
      @aiconcoction  16 днів тому +1

      You have to enter a value in the value field, otherwise the option will be deleted if it exists.

    HI Im new to these. What is the link to the Midjourny tool, I was directed to a web tool called OpeArt. is that the same?

    • @aiconcoction
      @aiconcoction  2 дні тому

      You will need Discord to use Midjourney. Follow the instructions here: docs.midjourney.com/docs/add-the-bot. If you have created over 1,000 images with Midjourney, you can use it on their website: www.midjourney.com/explore. I'm not familiar with Opeart.
