Despite all its fascinating possibilities, AI image generation is riddled with problems. One of the main reasons it can’t be used professionally is the lack of consistency in character generation. But that may soon be a thing of the past, as Midjourney now lets you create the same character in new images and styles with a new ‘cref’ command (short for ‘character reference’).
BIG update: Creating consistent characters in Midjourney (easy tutorial)
The ability to create consistent characters is one of the most requested features. And understandably so, as it opens up new possibilities for all kinds of creators, including professionals who want to integrate AI into stories.
Testing @midjourney's –cref. This is my first attempt, first batch. Seems to work.
It means we can tell consecutive stories with consistent characters in MJ images. I don't know if it's the most technical feature, but from a storytelling perspective it's the most important ever. pic.twitter.com/7zNLFYs4iI
