Weird
Explore unconventional aesthetics with the experimental --weird or --w parameter. This parameter introduces quirky and offbeat qualities to your generated images, resulting in unique and unexpected ou
--weird
accepts values: 0–3000.
The default --weird value is 0.
--weird is a highly experimental feature. What's weird may change over time
--weird is compatible with Midjourney Model Versions 5, 5.1, and 5.2
--weird is not fully compatible with seeds
The Influence of Weird on Jobs
The optimal --weird
value is dependent on the prompt and requires experimentation. Try starting with smaller values, such as 250 or 500, and then go up/down from there. If you want a generation to be conventionally attractive and weird, try mixing higher --stylize
values with --weird
. Try starting with similar values for both. Example /imagine prompt
cyanotype cat --stylize 250 --weird 250
.
prompt example: /imagine prompt
cyanotype cat --weird 250
--weird 0
