Get Better Architectural Renderings in Midjourney with Simple Prompts

Are your Midjourney architectural images not quite hitting the mark? The quality of your results often comes down to how you write your prompts. If your renderings look low-quality, your prompts might be too vague or too complicated. This guide will show you how to use better prompts and simple formulas to get high-quality images, covering important details like light and layout.

First, Avoid Basic Prompt Mistakes

Before you start writing prompts, know what mistakes to look out for. This helps you get clearer results from Midjourney.

• Don't be too unclear or overly specific at the same time.

• Avoid putting your own opinions or guesses into the prompt.

• Provide all the key details needed.

• Keep your prompts from getting too long.

Use the Right Midjourney Version

For the best quality, especially for advanced users, make sure you are using Midjourney V5 or V5.1. You can change this setting using the `/settings` command in Midjourney and choosing the version you want.

Build Prompts with a Simple Formula

Here’s a basic formula to help you write clear prompts:

• Project type

• Architecture style

• Architect's name

• Facade details

• Rendering style

• View perspective

• Environment setting

• Lighting conditions

Including names of famous architects helps Midjourney copy their distinct styles quickly. These architects have many images online, helping the AI understand specific shapes and materials. Mentioning an architect's name is a fast and exact way to describe the look you want.

Try Using Architect Names

For example, using the name Bjarke Ingels in your prompt can produce images that look very much like his work, complete with lots of detail for your chosen setting. If you swap Bjarke Ingels for Peter Zumthor, you'll see a big change in the image, reflecting Zumthor's style in the outside look and materials. Using names like Oma architecture can lead to specific building styles.

You can add more details like 'red light inside' or 'metal structure inside' for extra creative touches. Dim lighting can make a building look beautiful at night. To see the inside, just add the word 'interior' to your exterior prompt. Midjourney can create interior views that match the outside design well.

To handle many different styles and ideas easily, consider using a tool like the Midjourney Automation Suite from TitanXT. It can help you manage various prompts and settings for your architectural projects.

Mix Styles for Unique Designs

A cool trick is to combine the names of two different architects in one prompt. Midjourney will blend their styles, often creating really unique and impressive designs. Try combining Oma with Antoni Gaudí to see what interesting shapes and looks appear.

Explore Different Rendering Styles

The rendering style you pick greatly affects the feel of your final image. Mentioning a style like 'Mir rendering' (based on the style of the studio Mir) can give you highly visual images, similar to what you'd see in designs for competitions. Even if you don't specify the view, using a rendering style term often results in dynamic perspectives. You can also try other architects like Kengo Kuma for different looks. Finding the right rendering style helps your designs stand out.

Create Architectural Model Prompts

Midjourney can also create images that look like physical models. To do this, take a regular architecture prompt and add terms like 'axonometric' and a description of the model. You can experiment with different materials like clear plastic, colored plastic, wood, or others. Using version 5.1 often makes wooden models look more real and detailed.

Design Landscapes with Prompts

Designing landscapes works a lot like designing buildings in Midjourney. You can add specific details using prompts, such as different paving materials, outdoor furniture, or art pieces needed for your project. If you're not sure what terms to use for landscape elements, resources exist to provide a list of test elements you can use.

Light is Key in Landscape Renders

For landscape images, the lighting you choose in your prompt has a bigger effect on the final result compared to architecture. Testing the same prompt setup for landscape, architecture, interior, and urban design, while only changing the lighting, shows how different light changes the look of outdoor spaces the most.

Managing many design projects and specific details for each can be time-consuming. Streamline your work with the help of the Midjourney Automation Suite from TitanXT. Automate prompt creation and image generation to speed up your design process.

Generate Master Plans Too

Midjourney can create master plans, which are like top-down views of larger areas. While the formula is a bit different, the main need is a top view. You might also include key landmarks or use specific rendering styles tied to architect names mentioned before.

Learn from Bad Examples

A prompt can be bad even if it seems easy to read. If a prompt is too long or tries to pack in too many details for one image, the result often looks strange, maybe distorted or with weird colors. Keep prompts focused for master plans.

Try Niji for Cleaner Master Plans

For a different approach, try using the Niji version of Midjourney. It’s not just for anime. It can give your master plan images a cleaner, lighter look, almost like a render done in design software. Images created with Niji tend to be clearer with less bold colors and simpler trees compared to standard Midjourney outputs.

AI image generation is a fast-moving field that can really change how visual content is made. Keep experimenting with these tools and pushing what you can create.
