Midjourney Office Hours (27th Nov 2024)
Midjourney Mood Board, new Personalization profile, Storytelling feature, World Building, Midjourney Video, and Midjourney V7
Dear readers,
Here is the summary of the latest Midjourney Office Hours:
Next week's releases will include a Mood Board feature and a new Personalization profile.
The Mood Board feature somewhat combines Sref and personalization, allowing users to upload images and "train" the model and create a style.
The new personalization profile enables users to quickly create a personalization profile.
The Storytelling feature will be shared with the community during Midjourney Office Hours (December 11th) over the next two weeks, so mark your calendars!
It is unclear whether the feature will be released on the same day or just a demonstration. David said he might rename the feature to "World Building Tool" to reflect its capabilities better. The tool enables users to interact with various media. This feature will become "more serious" in Midjourney V7, and it should be even better in V7 because the new model supports multiple characters.
The bigger batch feature may be released for V6 this year; if so, the current model will be dubbed V6.2. It will cause a significant change in the creation workflow, leading to a better creation process. It is different and superior to the current variation feature. However, Discord will not support this feature due to user interface issues.
In the next month or two, the new Style Explorer will be released, allowing users to explore the style for free. Sref mining is expected to become a thing of the past with the introduction of this new feature.
The Retexture feature in the Full Editor now supports the Niji model.
(I tested it with the --Niji 6 suffix in the Retexture prompt, and it worked).
There is no immediate plan to work on the Layers for the Editor because there is currently insufficient manpower.
The current priority is to train the video and V7 models.
Midjourney V7 will only be available after Christmas, probably in January 2025.
David wants the Midjourney Video to be rendered correctly in the first run. The video feature works similarly to an image Upscaler. It is a stepping stone for Midjourney's world-building model. It is not intended to create Hollywood-style content.
