Achieve consistent characters every time with Midjourney's new Character Reference feature. 7 Examples: [img:P8NOXl-kk]

Midjourney's new Character Reference (--cref) transfers a character's attributes to new images generated in Midjourney or Niji. It's similar to Style Reference (--sref), but for characters instead: [img:691i8Mb3L]

Character Reference is meant for human or human-like characters, but that doesn't mean you can't experiment with different types of images. Here's several tips for using Character Reference: [img:QSH3A7mIu]

I started with a specific character in the first image and tested --cref using the same prompt: 1. "Yakuza in Neon Tokyo" [img:ZNJKiuUYM]

Next, I added the image URL from the first image to different settings. I only wanted to keep the face consistent, so I used --cw 0: 2. "Time-Traveling Vigilante" [img:zY__w5xQp]

3. "Mountain Summit Solitude" [img:LosDzts7x]

4. "Chef in a Sunlit Urban Garden" [img:MUMUzxEJg]

5. "Ancient Ruins Historian" [img:o9MkY1lo1]

6. "Floating on the Blue Ocean" Prompt credit: @umesh_ai [img:vKcIco8yy]

Finally, I used the original image URL as a Style Reference (--sref) and Character Reference (--cref). 7. Results next to the original image: [img:za4V5RLcr]

Overall, I was impressed with Midjourney's ability to place the same character in multiple settings and in different poses, compared to the original image. Experiment with different reference characters, combine more than 1 character, and adjust --cw to fit your preferences. [img:AHFX5sRt1]
