Shulou(Shulou.com)11/24 Report--

The update of Midjourney 5.2 is amazing, unlimited zoom, the ultimate high definition of each frame, and the microcosm can be seen farther than the Weber telescope.

Midjourney and Stable Diffusion, it's all over the edge!

Around the same time as the release of Stable Diffusion XL 0.9, Midjourney announced the release of version 5.2.

The most eye-catching update of version 5.2 is the zoom out function, which can infinitely expand the original image while keeping the details the same as the original image.

The animation of the boundless universe made by zoom out directly shocked people to aphasia. It can be said that Midjourney 5.2 can see farther than the James Webb Space Telescope!

This extremely powerful feature can create amazing pictures and can even be used to shoot flawless HD zoom videos!

This "nuclear bomb grade" update, let netizens say: you this function is too powerful, directly ruined my sleep!

After playing for an hour, the netizen said again: it's so powerful, I'm going to cry.

Infinite scaling, like the universe without end--

Grandma, how many grandmothers are there in the universe? The answer is infinite--

Alice chased the rabbit and accidentally fell down the rabbit hole and entered Wonderland.

The "rabbit hole" made by netizens with zoom out is almost like a dream.

There is also an AI image design team-ilumine AI uses only a small original painting to generate the following grand scene picture through Zoom Out.

Then cooperate with the technology of 2D to 3D which is being developed at home, and make a 3D game scene directly.

It is believed that when their product is officially launched, with the function of Midjourney Zoom Out to expand the image out of thin air, a 3D scene can be made directly with an original painting.

This is going to change the life of the game industry, and many game producers should cry.

Zoom Out vowed to crush Adobe AI and Uncrop? Prior to this, the filling function of Adobe's Generative Fill was played crazy by netizens, and the stills of Stephen Chow's movie filled with it were "flawless".

And Stability AI followed up with a big move. It teamed up with Clipdrop to launch Uncrop Clipdrop--, the ultimate image scale editor.

And the zoom out function of Midjourney's V5.2 is no less than, or even more powerful.

As long as you are prompted by the "/ image" command, Midjourney will generate four visual iterations based on your prompt. You can choose your favorite one to zoom in, and in the process, the whole image will be rendered in higher detail.

Now all Upscale images have "Zoom Out" buttons under them, and you can use them to regenerate the image.

First give an original image that needs to be zoomed out, and click the "Zoom twice" button below.

Like the Uncrop we introduced earlier, Midjourney generates four alternative patterns.

After zooming, the styles of the four alternate patterns are very consistent, but there are some differences in the details of the background.

After selecting one of the four Upscale patterns, you can then choose to double the magnification to continuously zoom the photo.

You can see that after further zooming, the pattern style and details are still very consistent, and if you want to keep zooming, you can make the effect of the Hubble telescope at the beginning.

As long as you repeat this process over and over again, you can produce a huge "giant picture" with unlimited details.

Coupled with the guidance of enthusiastic netizens, you can generate the "Infinite Universe Zoom Animation" at the beginning of the article:

The fantasy wonderland pictured on the left can continue to expand, allowing the art and fantasy world to expand infinitely.

Netizens were too excited to sleep and went crazy.

Musk's thunderbolt universe is like this.

This is already a master work of art.

Morpheus became a Jedi, and the scene became even more powerful as the scene expanded.

Some netizens lamented: when Midjourney v5.2 simulates camera movement from very close-up to full-open lens, it is amazing.

Is the next step to change the rate to 24-60 frames per second, and the character becomes mobile? Will Midjourney have a text-to-video service within 12 months?

Of course, there are netizens who keep abreast of current events to make an octagonal cage battle chart for Boss Ma.

Comparison of the infinite scaling function of the three major software Uncrop because it is free software, I do not know whether it is due to the official consideration of saving resources or technical problems, they do not support unlimited doll scaling.

Original picture:

After zooming once:

After the second zoom, a black edge will be generated and the nesting doll will be rejected.

And we have seen the effect of Midjourney's nesting doll universe above.

PS's GF, in theory, as long as the canvas can be infinitely expanded, it is also possible to infinitely complete a picture in the blank space to achieve the effect of infinite scaling.

It's just a little more troublesome to implement than Midjourney.

Hardcore netizens hand in hand to teach you how to make owl video problem, the article at the beginning of the shocking owl flight zoom video, how is it made?

Master netizen "Zang Zang" gave us a detailed tutorial of hand-in-hand teaching.

First, generate an owl picture, then use the 1.5x Zoom Out button below.

After repeating this process for 7 times in a row, the key frame images of 7 videos are obtained.

After sorting them, log in to app.cunwayml.com, navigate to the left to find the Tab to create the video, and then find the Frame Interpolation function.

Then use the seven pictures we have made, drag them into the position on the left and upload them. After checking the correct sequence, you can click Generate to generate video.

You can see the preview of this video after a while, but the average user can only export 720p.

Too long to read the version: the eight features of the V5.2 update in short, this V5.2 update can be summarized as the following eight functions.

1 Square Reconstruction (Square Reframe)-increase the size of the picture

-choose to make a square

This update comes with a "make Square" tool that can change the shape of the image with an aspect ratio other than the square.

An original image with an aspect ratio of 16:9

Square images use this tool to resize any photo, reconstruct the picture, and adjust it as easily as it can be displayed on social media.

2 standard zoom (Standard Zoom 1.5-2x) choose to zoom 1.5x or 2x.

This function is suitable for short-distance zoom and can add more details to the photo.

3 unlimited zoom "Endless Zoom (Re-Zoom a Pic)" this function can be around a specific character, to create a new background for the picture.

4 Custom Zoom Reconstruction (Custom Zoom Reframing) whether artists, designers or brands, can customize the image size to adapt the image to any online platform.

5 Stylize Midjourney is trained to create images with artistic flash and rich visual beauty, which is the biggest difference between Stable Diffusion and Stable Diffusion.

Previously, users could add "- styleize X" at the end of the prompt (figure X ranges from 0 to 1000), but V5.2 takes the existing stylization features of the model and increases them to 11 in terms of realism and talent.

6 Variation Mode Midjourney V5.2 also comes with a new feature called "change mode", which allows users to repeatedly polish the visual nuances they want to apply to the output.

Using the "low change" mode in prompt can produce a consistent character image, while choosing "high change" will lead to a larger visual difference from the original output, and the four pictures will be more creative and artistic.

7 different personal photos (Vary Individual Pics) give it an original picture of you, you can choose to generate four similar you, or a very different style of you.

8 shorter hint (/ Shorten Prompts) there is often a misconception about Midjourney: if you use more words in prompt, you will see better or more detailed results.

But in fact, too long prompts tend to counteract the impact of each word, resulting in the output of the picture does not necessarily conform to the user's idea.

The shortening command function of this Midjourney update can analyze the composition of prompt and provide us with some suggestions for alternatives.

With the new prompts, you can often produce more amazing results from the original image.
