same prompt several time to see how the reaction be successfull creator.

• Aspect Ratio --ar Change the aspect ratio of a generation

• Chaos --chaos <number 0–100> Change how varied the results will be. Higher values produce more unusual and
unexpected generations.
• Character Reference Use images as character references in your prompt to create images of the same character
in different situations.
• Fast --fast override your current setting and run a single job using Fast Mode.
• Image Weight --iw <0–2> Sets image prompt weight relative to text weight. The default value is 1.
• No --no Negative prompting, --no plants would try to remove plants from the image.
• Quality --quality <.25, .5, or 1>, or --q <.25, .5, or 1> How much rendering quality time you want to spend. The
default value is 1. Higher values use more GPU minutes; lower values use less.
• Random --style random, add a random 32 base styles Style Tuner code to your prompt. You can also use --style
random-16, --style random-64 or --style random-128 to use random results from other lengths of Style Tuners.
• Relax --relax override your current setting and run a single job using Relax Mode.
• Repeat --repeat <1–40>, or --r <1–40> Create multiple Jobs from a single prompt. --repeat is useful for quickly
rerunning a job multiple times.
• Seed --seed <integer between 0–4294967295> The Midjourney bot uses a seed number to create a field of visual
noise, like television static, as a starting point to generate the initial image grids. Seed numbers are generated
randomly for each image but can be specified with the --seed or --sameseed parameter. Using the same seed
number and prompt will produce similar ending images.
• Stop --stop <integer between 10–100> Use the --stop parameter to finish a Job partway through the process.
Stopping a Job at an earlier percentage can create blurrier, less detailed results.
• Style --style <raw> Switch between versions of the Midjourney Model Version 5.1 and 5.2.
• --style <4a, 4b, or 4c> Switch between versions of the Midjourney Model Version 4.
• --style <cute, expressive, original, or scenic> Switch between versions of the Niji Model Version 5.
• Use the /tune command to create a Style Tuner and generate custom style codes.
• Style Reference --sref Use images as style references in your prompt to influence the style or aesthetic of images
you want Midjourney to make.
• Stylize --stylize <number>, or --s <number> parameter influences how strongly Midjourney’s default aesthetic
style is applied to Jobs.
• Stylreference --sref used to add one or multiple image URLs behind your prompt so the AI knows which style you
want to see, using --sref random without any URL image will cause four very different looks
• Styleweight --sw The parameter “sw” can adjust the impact of “sref” with a range of 0 to 1000. The stylised value
for Midjourney’s influence ranges from 0 to 1000
• Tile --tile parameter generates images that can be used as repeating tiles to create seamless patterns.
• Turbo --turbo override your current setting and run a single job using Turbo Mode.
• Video --video Saves a progress video of the initial image grid being generated. Emoji react to the completed im-
age grid with ✉️ to trigger the video being sent to your direct messages. --video does not work when upscaling an
image.
• Weird --weird <number 0–3000>, or --w <number 0–3000> Explore unusual aesthetics with the experimen-
tal --weird parameter.

members, a lot could happen simultaneously within sec-

So besides seeing your own generated images from

prompts, also the results of others will continuously ap-

A PROMPT CREATED WITH CHAT GBT
The futuristic tree house nestled within the mammoth trees of Sequoia National Park is a striking blend of contempo-
rary architecture and organic design. Here’s a detailed description: Location and Setting: Situated amidst the tower-
ing sequoia trees of the national park, the tree house is a marvel of modern engineering harmoniously integrated into
the natural landscape. From the street view, it appears as a futuristic oasis amidst the ancient giants. Contemporary
Architecture: The tree house showcases sleek lines and minimalist aesthetics typical of contemporary design. Its
structure combines glass, steel, and sustainable materials to create a visually stunning yet environmentally conscious
masterpiece. Cantilevered Design: The tree house features a cantilevered design that extends out from the trunk
of a massive sequoia tree, providing breathtaking views of the surrounding forest canopy and distant mountains.
Evening Atmosphere: As evening descends, the tree house comes alive with subtle lighting that illuminates its curves
and contours, casting a warm glow against the darkening sky. The play of light and shadow creates a mesmerizing
ambiance, inviting visitors to linger and savor the magic of the moment. Organic Curves: The architecture of the tree
house seamlessly integrates with the natural curves of the sequoia trees, mimicking their organic forms and creating
a sense of harmony with the environment. Innovative Materials: The exterior of the tree house is constructed from a
cutting-edge blend of materials, including nylon, cevlar (a fictional material combining the strength of carbon fiber
with the flexibility of Kevlar), and organic moss. This unique combination gives the structure its distinctive bionic bub-
blegum-like appearance while ensuring durability and sustainability. Bionic Bubblegum Aesthetics: The tree house’s
unconventional design evokes images of a futuristic bubblegum sculpture, with its sinuous lines and vibrant colors

standing out against the backdrop of the forest. Yet, despite its avant-garde appearance, the structure feels perfectly
at home among the ancient trees, a testament to the ingenuity of human creativity. Overall, the futuristic tree house
at Sequoia National Park is a testament to the possibilities of blending cutting-edge architecture with the timeless
beauty of nature, creating a truly unforgettable experience for visitors

Sculptural elements in architecture transcend mere
functionality, infusing spaces with artistic expression and
emotional resonance. From ancient civilizations to mod-
ern skyscrapers, these sculptural forms captivate the
eye, shaping our perceptions of the built environment.

Whether adorning facades with intricate reliefs or de-

fining interior spaces with dynamic shapes, sculptural
elements imbue architecture with a sense of identity and
purpose.

They can serve as focal points that inspire, evoke con-

templation and invite interaction, forging a deep connec-
tion between people and their surroundings. Through
their sheer presence, sculptural elements elevate build-
ings from structures to works of art, leaving an indelible
imprint on the urban landscape and enriching the human
experience of space.

The use of unfinished polygonal shaped elements can

help to create a counterpart to your design studies.

When MJ spit out this car design, I immediatly liked the shape, except of the wheel design. So I could have forced
the “Vary region” masking in MJ or simply create an upscale of this image and go on in PS to get rifd of the wheels.

So I opened the upscales file in Photoshop where

I simply masked the wheels by lasso and used
“content aware fill” to reconstruct an entirely
closed chassis.
In the next step the shadow on the street was
adapted by using the stamp effect to clone parts
from the exisiting surrounding floor.
Then I copied the layer, set the upper one to “over-
lay” and erased the dark floor. Finally I integrated
a sundown sky with purple clouds by using the
“generative fill” and finished the redesign with a
cool different look compared to the AI generated

Often MJ will spit out designs with wheels, so if you want to create floating cars, PS is
highly recommended to get rid of single “errors”.
There you can use stamp effect, soft brushes, smudge tool or AI effects like “generative fill”
or the “Content aware fill”. Always make sure to make a duplicate layer from the original
image first, so you can always jump back to zero. Also duplicating the final image and play-
ing around with the layer settings is a powerfull effect to add more depth or brighten your
picture. In combination with using this modified layer only partially, try out to use a soft
eraser to highlight or darken a specific area within the composition.
