00:00 - 00:03
I'm going to teach you how to transform
00:01 - 00:05
simple sketches into amazing pictures
00:03 - 00:08
like these by utilizing a few tricks
00:05 - 00:09
with mid Journey's new editor but first
00:08 - 00:12
let me walk you through some other use
00:09 - 00:14
cases like this mini trick seeing a room
00:12 - 00:15
in different times you'll need to have a
00:14 - 00:17
foundational picture and this could be
00:15 - 00:19
an image from your actual kitchen or you
00:17 - 00:21
could prompt for something like an
00:19 - 00:24
interior of a Sleek modern kitchen with
00:21 - 00:26
marble accents any room it doesn't
00:24 - 00:28
matter if this is a mid Journey picture
00:26 - 00:30
we're going to click on the editor and
00:28 - 00:32
then open in full editor
00:30 - 00:34
now we can retexture and change the
00:32 - 00:36
prompt to whatever we want we might
00:34 - 00:39
change it to something like a decrepit
00:36 - 00:41
kitchen that needs Renovations and we'll
00:39 - 00:43
find some images like these you see how
00:41 - 00:44
it keeps the same shape of the room but
00:43 - 00:46
completely changes the vibe you could
00:44 - 00:48
try something a little more fun like
00:46 - 00:51
changing the prompt to a snowy ice Igloo
00:48 - 00:53
Castle or maybe a futuristic space
00:51 - 00:55
station this interior of a haunted
00:53 - 00:56
mansion I think looks so cool or one of
00:55 - 00:59
my favorite things to do is to include
00:56 - 01:01
some art styles or old photography terms
00:59 - 01:03
like a vintage Polaroid of a crowded
01:01 - 01:05
house party isn't that amazing now let
01:03 - 01:06
me get to the big trick that I wanted to
01:05 - 01:08
tell you about how you can get the most
01:06 - 01:11
out of this update is to use both of the
01:08 - 01:13
new features in tandem one after the
01:11 - 01:15
other the editor and retexture so we'll
01:13 - 01:17
take one of the retextures that we like
01:15 - 01:19
and then we'll click on edit this will
01:17 - 01:21
allow us to change the size of the frame
01:19 - 01:24
and expand on this image we'll click on
01:21 - 01:26
the Move resize option we can shrink the
01:24 - 01:28
picture down and expand the canvas in
01:26 - 01:30
any direction place the picture where
01:28 - 01:32
you want and hit submit edit we could
01:30 - 01:33
try this in a few different spots and
01:32 - 01:35
we'll end up with some results like
01:33 - 01:37
these look how well it does at expanding
01:35 - 01:39
the room isn't that so cool maybe those
01:37 - 01:41
other ones weren't quite a futuristic
01:39 - 01:43
SPAC but like that's amazing and what
01:41 - 01:45
about the front of a house like this
01:43 - 01:47
nice Suburban home you can see this on
01:45 - 01:48
different nights I mean you could see it
01:47 - 01:50
as an igloo again you could see it as a
01:48 - 01:52
medieval castle here it is on a haunted
01:50 - 01:54
Halloween night and you can get pretty
01:52 - 01:57
specific with that prompt a haunted
01:54 - 01:59
mansion on Halloween night pumpkins are
01:57 - 02:01
surrounding the house the sky is black
01:59 - 02:03
and there are that's flying on the roof
02:01 - 02:06
don't be afraid to get specific write as
02:03 - 02:08
many details as you can in the prompt
02:06 - 02:10
when you're retexturing it all helps by
02:08 - 02:12
the way if you're new here my name is
02:10 - 02:14
Nolan and I'm trying to make learning AI
02:12 - 02:15
as easy as possible if you've learned
02:14 - 02:17
something new so far please consider
02:15 - 02:18
hitting the like button on this video
02:17 - 02:20
I'd love to share this with as many
02:18 - 02:23
people as possible and I need your help
02:20 - 02:25
my M Journey beginner course is also 25%
02:23 - 02:27
off until the launch of version 7 and
02:25 - 02:29
then the price will increase so if
02:27 - 02:30
you're interested the best value is now
02:29 - 02:32
I'm just trying to be transparent you
02:30 - 02:34
can find the link in the description
02:32 - 02:35
below let's say I wasn't happy with the
02:34 - 02:37
placement of all the pumpkins and I
02:35 - 02:39
wanted to see something else here's the
02:37 - 02:41
next big trick I want you to try and
02:39 - 02:42
it's how you write your prompt so we'll
02:41 - 02:44
paint out a spot in front of the house
02:42 - 02:47
and then we'll type in what we want to
02:44 - 02:49
see instead like a giant Jacko Lantern
02:47 - 02:51
but you'll notice this might not work
02:49 - 02:53
all four of the results actually didn't
02:51 - 02:55
work so what can we do differently well
02:53 - 02:57
it comes down to how we write our prompt
02:55 - 02:59
instead of writing just what we want to
02:57 - 03:01
see we can try writing a bit more of the
02:59 - 03:03
scene be a bit more descriptive it
03:01 - 03:05
doesn't have to be much so instead of
03:03 - 03:08
just a giant Jacko Lantern you can try a
03:05 - 03:10
giant Jacko Lantern sits in front of the
03:08 - 03:12
house that's the only change you need to
03:10 - 03:13
do and it actually works again when
03:12 - 03:15
you're editing and in painting don't
03:13 - 03:18
focus on what you're trying to insert
03:15 - 03:19
focus on the scene as a whole we wanted
03:18 - 03:21
to see a bigger pumpkin in front of the
03:19 - 03:23
house that's what we had to use in our
03:21 - 03:25
prompt again once you're satisfied I
03:23 - 03:27
highly recommend going back into the
03:25 - 03:30
retexture to see the scene in different
03:27 - 03:32
styles like a voxal screenshot of a
03:30 - 03:34
Minecraft game I think that looks so
03:32 - 03:36
cool you could try a children's crayon
03:34 - 03:38
drawing and some of these turned out all
03:36 - 03:40
right like this isn't bad but that one's
03:38 - 03:42
not great so what else can we do there
03:40 - 03:44
are two things we can expand the prompt
03:42 - 03:46
again to be a little more descriptive
03:44 - 03:48
instead of just the style we can include
03:46 - 03:50
the rest of the image and the prompt a
03:48 - 03:52
children's crayon drawing of a haunted
03:50 - 03:54
mansion it might sound simple it might
03:52 - 03:56
sound silly but it really does work try
03:54 - 03:58
being more descriptive of your entire
03:56 - 04:00
scene when you're retexturing and
03:58 - 04:02
editing your images the the other thing
04:00 - 04:04
we can do is add parameters like
04:02 - 04:06
lowering the styz value all the way to
04:04 - 04:08
zero theoretically this should make mid
04:06 - 04:10
Journey listen to us a little more and
04:08 - 04:11
it does seem to work you could also try
04:10 - 04:14
style Rod don't forget about that
04:11 - 04:16
algorithm maybe you even want to bump up
04:14 - 04:18
the Stylez value all the way to a th000
04:16 - 04:20
these will make your images look a
04:18 - 04:22
little more traditionally pretty but you
04:20 - 04:23
might like the result and here's another
04:22 - 04:25
reason why you should go back and forth
04:23 - 04:27
between retexturing and editing the
04:25 - 04:30
retexture might not be perfect use the
04:27 - 04:31
editor to fix those issues like here
04:30 - 04:34
that's not a very good Jacko Lantern so
04:31 - 04:35
let's click back on the edit We'll erase
04:34 - 04:37
this and we're going to change our
04:35 - 04:38
prompt a bit a children's crayon drawing
04:37 - 04:40
of a haunted mansion we're going to
04:38 - 04:42
leave that part of the prompt but then
04:40 - 04:44
we're going to include a simple
04:42 - 04:46
instructional phrase there is a giant
04:44 - 04:47
Jacko Lantern in front of the house and
04:46 - 04:49
at this point I would suggest maybe
04:47 - 04:51
removing the stylize value that's a
04:49 - 04:53
little better that's what I wanted to
04:51 - 04:54
see but I'll admit it didn't work in the
04:53 - 04:56
other three that's how frustrating Ai
04:54 - 04:58
and mid Journey can be at the moment but
04:56 - 05:00
there are those many tricks you can do
04:58 - 05:01
to increase the odds of getting what you
05:00 - 05:04
want check out this next tip that I got
05:01 - 05:05
from to prompts shout out to you first
05:04 - 05:07
you want to create a piece of art that
05:05 - 05:09
you like it could be any image in mid
05:07 - 05:11
journey and then we are going to use the
05:09 - 05:12
editor to make it look like that art is
05:11 - 05:15
hanging on the wall of a room we're
05:12 - 05:16
creating a mockup I'll be honest it was
05:15 - 05:18
hard for me to get a boring room when
05:16 - 05:19
using a bright and colorful piece of art
05:18 - 05:21
so please let me know if I'm missing
05:19 - 05:23
anything like I tried mentioning just a
05:21 - 05:25
painting on a white wall with wooden
05:23 - 05:26
accents around the room and these turned
05:25 - 05:28
out all right but they're not quite
05:26 - 05:30
traditional looking living rooms they
05:28 - 05:31
are pretty cool though like look what
05:30 - 05:33
mid Journey can create wouldn't that be
05:31 - 05:35
amazing to live in or like stay at a
05:33 - 05:37
hotel room that looked like that I don't
05:35 - 05:38
know if you'd want that in your own home
05:37 - 05:40
maybe you would and you don't really
05:38 - 05:42
need anything other than that phrase a
05:40 - 05:44
mockup of a painting then you can
05:42 - 05:45
mention a cozy living room or any other
05:44 - 05:48
type of room but again it might be kind
05:45 - 05:50
of hard to get something boring okay now
05:48 - 05:52
on to the Pista resistance what you all
05:50 - 05:54
came for let's go from these boring
05:52 - 05:57
sketches to these amazing looking comic
05:54 - 05:59
Pages first tip start on a smaller
05:57 - 06:01
aspect ratio I prefer a square I don't
05:59 - 06:03
really know why this works so well but I
06:01 - 06:05
find it works best it sort of just
06:03 - 06:07
condenses the amount of possibilities
06:05 - 06:08
and helps mid Journey Focus maybe I
06:07 - 06:10
would explain it like that tip number
06:08 - 06:13
two is to start with the idea of a
06:10 - 06:15
sketch you can use pencil sketch I
06:13 - 06:17
prefer black pen and ink and one of the
06:15 - 06:19
key ways to get these Dynamic poses is
06:17 - 06:21
to use the phrase twia Tharp I've
06:19 - 06:23
mentioned that in one previous video but
06:21 - 06:25
it is so powerful it's going to get you
06:23 - 06:28
this amazing choreography and it works
06:25 - 06:30
really well with the idea of a sketch
06:28 - 06:31
that might be anecdotal but that is my
06:30 - 06:34
suggestion like look how cool this
06:31 - 06:35
kangaroo is just ready to fight and then
06:34 - 06:37
the process is simple we're going to
06:35 - 06:39
take that sketch and color it in we're
06:37 - 06:41
going to use the retexture feature again
06:39 - 06:43
I want you to focus on art styles here
06:41 - 06:45
and you can really try anything you
06:43 - 06:47
could simply erase the black pen and ink
06:45 - 06:49
sketch and include the words concept art
06:47 - 06:51
but personally I'm a bigger fan of Final
06:49 - 06:53
Fantasy concept art it's a little more
06:51 - 06:55
specific and a little more my style but
06:53 - 06:56
you notice how it's just changing the
06:55 - 06:58
character and not really including
06:56 - 07:00
anything in the background maybe you
06:58 - 07:02
want to try this next tip and it does
07:00 - 07:04
sound silly but the words are fortnite
07:02 - 07:05
loading screen I think that's a really
07:04 - 07:07
cool hack that's not only going to
07:05 - 07:09
change your character but it's going to
07:07 - 07:11
fill in the background as well one last
07:09 - 07:14
style you might want to try is cell
07:11 - 07:16
shaded anime that's cell with one l c e
07:14 - 07:18
l it's a specific type of style and I
07:16 - 07:20
think it looks amazing in mid Journey
07:18 - 07:22
another tip for getting your background
07:20 - 07:24
filled in is to include that in the
07:22 - 07:26
prompt man that might seem obvious and
07:24 - 07:28
silly but it is easy to forget so we'll
07:26 - 07:30
have our new style a cell shaded anime
07:28 - 07:32
scene and and then we're going to type
07:30 - 07:34
something like a kangaroo is fighting in
07:32 - 07:37
a broken City and we're going to get
07:34 - 07:38
images like that like we're almost there
07:37 - 07:39
and then from here we're going to go
07:38 - 07:41
into the editor and we're going to
07:39 - 07:43
expand our canvas maybe what I'm trying
07:41 - 07:45
to get at is to start small to keep M
07:43 - 07:47
journei focused and constrained in some
07:45 - 07:49
way and then we can expand the canvas
07:47 - 07:51
after with the editor aren't those
07:49 - 07:52
beautiful pick one you like and then
07:51 - 07:54
check this out we're going to go back
07:52 - 07:56
into the retexture did you see that
07:54 - 07:58
coming this is where you can change the
07:56 - 08:01
Style again and I went with something
07:58 - 08:03
like this a blue and purple 1990s
08:01 - 08:05
electric cell shaded anime scene now all
08:03 - 08:07
four options might not be great but look
08:05 - 08:10
how gorgeous that is oh that spoked me
08:07 - 08:11
so much I took this as my basis and now
08:10 - 08:13
look what you can do with it first I
08:11 - 08:15
wanted to change the look of the
08:13 - 08:16
kangaroo a little bit by adding an
08:15 - 08:19
accessory so I lowered the size of the
08:16 - 08:21
Eraser brush and I selected an area
08:19 - 08:23
larger than what I thought I needed
08:21 - 08:25
that's another big trick if you're ever
08:23 - 08:27
worried about being specific enough with
08:25 - 08:29
the Eraser don't be select an area
08:27 - 08:30
larger than you think you'll need and
08:29 - 08:32
then I simply changed the prompt to the
08:30 - 08:35
kangaroo is wearing a futuristic
08:32 - 08:37
headband rewrite your prompt as if it's
08:35 - 08:39
instructions and I got a picture like
08:37 - 08:41
that I was really happy with now I
08:39 - 08:43
wanted to add a title I wanted this to
08:41 - 08:45
be like the cover of a book so I erased
08:43 - 08:47
the large part of the frame and I wanted
08:45 - 08:50
to insert some text at first I started
08:47 - 08:52
simple an electric neon comic book title
08:50 - 08:53
mangaroo remember that the text you're
08:52 - 08:55
trying to include needs to be in
08:53 - 08:57
quotation marks that's how mid Journey
08:55 - 08:59
recognizes it in your prompt but you're
08:57 - 09:01
going to see from the results it didn't
08:59 - 09:03
really work sometimes it blended it into
09:01 - 09:05
the scene and sometimes it just showed
09:03 - 09:07
up not that great text is a little
09:05 - 09:09
tricky so my recommendation might sound
09:07 - 09:11
repetitive but we want to rewrite the
09:09 - 09:13
entire scene again take a look at what I
09:11 - 09:16
did there is a large title font on top
09:13 - 09:19
of the image the font is electric neon
09:16 - 09:21
the title reads mangaroo do you see how
09:19 - 09:23
matterif fact I was with that
09:21 - 09:25
description but look at the results like
09:23 - 09:27
look how amazing that is oh my God I
09:25 - 09:29
just fell in love I tried this a bunch
09:27 - 09:31
of times though and this is another spot
09:29 - 09:33
where you can include more parameters
09:31 - 09:35
like the chaos value if you're having
09:33 - 09:38
trouble bump up the chaos value here I
09:35 - 09:39
went with chaos 6 and what chaos is
09:38 - 09:41
going to do it's going to give you more
09:39 - 09:43
variety in the resulting images which
09:41 - 09:45
means if you're having trouble
09:43 - 09:47
generating your vision chaos might give
09:45 - 09:49
you more opportunity and higher odds of
09:47 - 09:51
seeing what you want like I think this
09:49 - 09:53
one's amazing with the letter R going
09:51 - 09:55
around his ear that is so cool you could
09:53 - 09:58
also try your personalization code don't
09:55 - 10:00
forget about that one I think that's a
09:58 - 10:01
that one's one of my favorite and here's
10:00 - 10:04
another trick for you I like this one a
10:01 - 10:06
lot but it didn't really work mangar row
10:04 - 10:07
we're missing an O on the end all you
10:06 - 10:09
need to do is create some space for that
10:07 - 10:11
extra letter and when you hit enter mid
10:09 - 10:13
Journey has a pretty good chance of
10:11 - 10:16
filling it in like look at that that's
10:13 - 10:18
amazing it worked and oh I'm just in
10:16 - 10:20
love in fact I'm so in love I wanted to
10:18 - 10:22
see this exact Style with more
10:20 - 10:24
characters and here's how you do that
10:22 - 10:26
again I wanted to start with a sketch
10:24 - 10:30
black pen and ink of an anthropomorphic
10:26 - 10:32
dolphin Warrior Dynamic Twilight th pose
10:30 - 10:34
I used Chaos 3 for some more variety and
10:32 - 10:36
I was really happy with that so we're
10:34 - 10:38
going to take that into the editor and
10:36 - 10:39
then here's another trick for you I
10:38 - 10:41
suggest opening a second tab of mid
10:39 - 10:43
Journey because we want to copy the
10:41 - 10:45
picture of our kangaroo then in the
10:43 - 10:47
second tab in your gallery you're going
10:45 - 10:49
to right click on the picture and hit
10:47 - 10:51
copy image you're going to hit control+v
10:49 - 10:53
or command V and we're going to paste
10:51 - 10:55
that picture into the prompt and then
10:53 - 10:57
make sure we click on style reference
10:55 - 10:58
from there we want to change the prompt
10:57 - 10:59
again to what we used for our original
10:59 - 11:04
that blue and purple electric 1990s
11:02 - 11:06
anime and we're going to see some
11:04 - 11:08
results like this they're not all great
11:06 - 11:10
I'm not going to lie in fact I didn't
11:08 - 11:12
like any of them so I removed the idea
11:10 - 11:14
of blue and purple from my prompt and I
11:12 - 11:16
just included electric 1990s anime I did
11:14 - 11:18
that because we're using the original
11:16 - 11:19
picture as a style reference so
11:18 - 11:21
mentioning blue and purple is a little
11:19 - 11:23
redundant and it came up with this image
11:21 - 11:25
and I was like boom that's it that's our
11:23 - 11:27
character then instead of retexture
11:25 - 11:29
we're going to go into the editor expand
11:27 - 11:31
the canvas and explain what's going on
11:29 - 11:33
on in the background I wrote that the
11:31 - 11:35
dolphin Warrior is fighting in a flooded
11:33 - 11:36
casino now I didn't think there was
11:35 - 11:38
enough Headroom on this canvas so I
11:36 - 11:40
expanded it again to make room for the
11:38 - 11:43
title and I went to chat GPT to ask it
11:40 - 11:45
if it had any funny punny names for a
11:43 - 11:47
dolphin Warrior this is a back and forth
11:45 - 11:48
conversation you don't have to go with
11:47 - 11:50
what it says right away on the second
11:48 - 11:53
attempt it came back with the dull
11:50 - 11:56
finisher and I was like yes exactly
11:53 - 11:58
getting a title inserting text isn't
11:56 - 11:59
easy remember that especially when you
11:58 - 12:02
have a longer phrase that you're trying
11:59 - 12:03
to insert like the dull finisher that's
12:02 - 12:05
quite a few letters so I went through
12:03 - 12:07
all the previous tricks take a look at
12:05 - 12:10
this prompt I wrote there is a large
12:07 - 12:12
title font superimposed on top of the
12:10 - 12:14
image I found that to work really well
12:12 - 12:16
superimposed I used the rest of the
12:14 - 12:18
prompts from earlier the font is
12:16 - 12:20
electric neon and the title reads the
12:18 - 12:21
dull finisher now I really like this
12:20 - 12:23
look for the dull finisher but the
12:21 - 12:24
letters weren't quite right so again I
12:23 - 12:26
went through and I erased parts of it to
12:24 - 12:29
make room for the rest of the letters
12:26 - 12:31
and eventually it does work took me a
12:29 - 12:33
couple of tries but there we are the
12:31 - 12:34
dull finisher I went through this whole
12:33 - 12:36
process for two more characters because
12:34 - 12:39
I liked it so much and the workflow
12:36 - 12:41
really does work let me speedrun through
12:39 - 12:43
it for you we have our wolf character we
12:41 - 12:45
retexture The Prompt with the style
12:43 - 12:47
reference from earlier we expand the
12:45 - 12:50
canvas to make room for a title we ask
12:47 - 12:52
GPT what's a good pun name for this
12:50 - 12:53
character we change around the prompt a
12:52 - 12:55
little to make room for the title and
12:53 - 12:57
then once we find something we really
12:55 - 12:58
like we can edit character by character
12:57 - 13:01
to make room for all the letters and
12:58 - 13:03
there is the hoetzer like oh my God
13:01 - 13:05
isn't that so cool and the exact same
13:03 - 13:07
process for the har Medill aren't these
13:05 - 13:09
guys amazing what do you think this
13:07 - 13:11
story should be called maybe I'll ask
