What is Classic Anime Rendering SREF style

This aesthetic captures the vibrant, crisp visuals of classic Japanese animation, often reminiscent of the late 1980s and early 1990s production quality. Key features include high saturation, bold outlines, and smooth cell shading that gives objects clear definition without complex gradients. When using this style in a **Midjourney** **prompt**, specifying the era (e.g., 90s anime) helps capture the nostalgic mood and graphic simplicity. This **style** excels at producing dynamic character portraits, epic landscapes, and sharp still lifes that evoke a strong sense of adventure or classic storytelling.

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.
