What is Paper Cut SREF style

This visual technique precisely replicates intricate, multi-layered paper cutting or kirigami art, achieving high dimensional relief through carefully cast shadows and overlapping forms. The aesthetic relies on sharp, defined edges and a cohesive, often analogous color palette—here dominated by warm corals and pinks. When crafting a **Midjourney** **prompt**, specifying materials like "cardstock" or "heavy paper" enhances the realism. This creates a striking, tactile **style** ideal for illustrative portraits and abstract scenes, offering depth that typical 2D rendering cannot match. The success of this look depends heavily on accurate **prompt** construction emphasizing depth.

Paper Cut Prompt Ideas

  • A striking portrait of an enigmatic man composed entirely of layered paper cuts, deep relief shadows, warm monochrome palette of coral and blush pinks, volumetric light
  • Layered paper cut landscape of rolling hills at sunset, vibrant orange and deep indigo layers, subtle shadows creating depth, high detail
  • Still life composition of modernist ceramic vases and sliced citrus fruit rendered in intricate paper cut art, high contrast dark foliage against a pale pink background
  • Intricate paper sculpture mural depicting a fantastical creature built from overlapping sheets of textured paper, dramatic studio lighting, warm color grading

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.
