What is Rough surface Midjourney Prompt

The 'Rough surface' style emphasizes texture, imperfection, and a tangible, gritty quality. It moves away from smooth, polished aesthetics to celebrate the beauty in uneven, weathered, or natural finishes like unpolished stone or coarse bark. In Midjourney, applying this `style` enriches your creations with a sense of realism and depth. Using a `prompt` with 'rough surface' is ideal for adding character to objects and environments, transforming them into something that feels authentic and tactile. This approach is perfect for conveying ruggedness, age, or raw natural elements.

  • An ancient stone golem with a rough surface texture, glowing moss growing in its crevices, standing in a misty forest --ar 16:9 --style raw
  • Macro photograph of a rusted iron gear, its rough surface covered in intricate patterns of decay and time, dramatic lighting --ar 3:2 --stylize 750
  • The surface of an alien planet, vast plains of sharp, crystalline rocks with a very rough surface, two suns setting in the sky, cinematic sci-fi landscape --ar 21:9
  • An abstract sculpture made of raw concrete, featuring a complex and rough surface, displayed in a minimalist art gallery, studio lighting --ar 1:1

Frequently Asked Questions

What exactly is a Midjourney Style Reference (--sref)?

A Style Reference, or SREF, is a powerful feature that lets you use the aesthetic of a reference image to influence the style of your generations. Our library provides the direct SREF code for thousands of styles.

How do I understand and use the Aspect Ratio (--ar) parameter?

The --ar parameter controls the aspect ratio of your image. For example, --ar 16:9 creates a widescreen image. Our guide provides a full list of supported ratios.

Why is my SREF code not working?

Ensure you are using a compatible Midjourney version (v6 or newer) and check for typos. Sometimes, strong keywords in your prompt can override the style; try reducing the style weight (e.g., --sw 250).

Can I use this SREF code with a Character Reference (--cref)?

Yes, --sref and --cref can be used together. This is a powerful combination to maintain a consistent character while applying a consistent style.

Which versions support style reference?

Style Reference is compatible with Midjourney versions 6, 7, and Niji 6.

What is the default image size for Midjourney V7?

Midjourney V7 creates upscaled images at 2048 x 2048 pixels for the default 1:1 aspect ratio.

What is the default style weight and what range can I use?

The default style weight is --sw 100. You can set it between 0 and 1000.
