Achieve consistent characters every time with Midjourney's new Character Reference feature. 7 Examples:

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:

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:

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

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"

3. "Mountain Summit Solitude"

4. "Chef in a Sunlit Urban Garden"

5. "Ancient Ruins Historian"

6. "Floating on the Blue Ocean" Prompt credit: @umesh_ai

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

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.
