Make Your Midjourney Characters Look the Same: Your Guide to Consistency

Creating images in Midjourney is fun, but what if you need the same person in different pictures? The new character consistency feature makes this easy. This guide shows you how to make sure your character looks the same every time.

Start with a Main Character Image

First, you need a base image of the character you want to reuse. It's best to create this image directly in Midjourney. This way, you have full rights to your unique character. Once you have your main character image, you need to get its image link.

To do this, right-click on the image (or long-press on mobile) and select "Copy Image Address." Keep this link handy; you'll need it for your prompts.

Check Your Midjourney Settings

Before you start, make sure you're using the right Midjourney version. Type `/settings` in the chat and press Enter. Ensure you are using the `Midjourney Model V6` or newer. This character consistency feature works best with the latest models.

Thinking about creating many images with consistent characters? Managing this process can take time. Consider using a tool like the Midjourney Automation Suite by TitanXT. It helps streamline repetitive tasks so you can focus on being creative.

Build Your Consistent Character Prompt

Now, let's create a prompt that uses your character image. Start with a regular prompt describing the scene you want.

For example:

man playing chess --ar 16:9

After your prompt, add the character reference command: `--cref`

Paste the image link you copied right after `--cref`, with a space in between:

man playing chess --ar 16:9 --cref [Your Image Link Here]

Adjust Character Weight (Optional)

You can control how closely the generated character matches your reference image using the character weight parameter: `--cwt`

Add `--cwt` followed by a number from 0 to 100. A lower number (closer to 0) means the character might look less like the original, allowing for variations. A higher number (closer to 100) will stick very closely to the original character's features, like face, hair, and clothes.

Let's add it to our prompt, using 60 as a middle-ground example:

man playing chess --ar 16:9 --cref [Your Image Link Here] --cwt 60

This setting tells Midjourney to use the character from your link with a moderate likeness. You can experiment with this number to get the look you want.

Automating prompt creation and managing multiple image generations with consistent characters can be simple. The TitanXT Midjourney Automation Suite is built to help handle these steps efficiently, saving you time and effort.

Generate and See the Results

Press Enter and let Midjourney create your images. You'll see variations of your scene, but the character in each image should have consistent features based on your reference image and the character weight you set.

Look at the results. The characters in the generated images should share key traits like facial hair, glasses, and hairstyles, making them recognizable as the same person across different pictures.

Get Creating!

And that's how you use the character consistency function in Midjourney! It's a powerful tool for creating stories, series, or just having the same familiar face pop up in different scenarios.

Making many images for a project? Don't get bogged down by manual steps. The Midjourney Automation Suite by TitanXT can help automate parts of your workflow, making consistent character creation faster and easier.

Have fun creating awesome consistent characters!
