What is Material Depth SREF style

This style is defined by rich, tactile surfaces where the application of the medium—often oil paint, pastel, or thick impasto—is prominently visible, creating depth and roughness. Images generated in this manner convey an immediate sense of history or raw emotion due to the layered textures and often earthy color palettes. When crafting a **Midjourney** **prompt**, emphasizing keywords like "heavy texture," "impasto," or "scraped canvas" is crucial to capture this distinctive, material quality, resulting in artwork that feels both handcrafted and deeply atmospheric.

Material Depth Prompt Ideas

  • A quiet European village scene, highly textured oil painting, earthy tones, atmospheric light, rough canvas texture, minimalist figures
  • Portrait of an androgynous figure with elongated features, heavily textured surface, deep ochre and olive hues, contemplative mood, style of Amedeo Modigliani meets Expressionism
  • Abstract still life of fruit and flowers on a white tablecloth, thick layered paint, scraped texture, muted pastels integrated with vibrant yellow, fine art composition
  • A desolate landscape with tall, sparse trees in winter, extreme texture mapping, warm browns contrasted with cool whites, painterly finish

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.
