What is Grayscale Rendering SREF style

This aesthetic is characterized by masterful monochromatic rendering, focusing on intricate details, deep contrast, and dramatic chiaroscuro lighting, often mimicking hyper-realistic graphite drawings or high-resolution black and white studies. It evokes a moody, classic, or surreal atmosphere, depending on the subject matter. When utilizing Midjourney, incorporating precise descriptive terms for texture and rendering fidelity in your prompt helps solidify this striking style, resulting in visuals with profound depth and narrative impact.

Grayscale Rendering Prompt Ideas

  • A vast, desolate arctic landscape under a swirling blizzard, ultra-detailed graphite drawing, dramatic shadows, high contrast
  • Close up portrait of an ancient clockwork automaton peering through shattered paper, hyperrealistic charcoal sketch, deep focus, monochromatic
  • Still life of antique scientific instruments and skulls on a dark wooden desk, volumetric lighting, photorealistic rendering, highly detailed textures
  • A lone astronaut standing on a textured moon surface, looking at Earth rising, sharp focus, monochrome concept art

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.
