What is Synthwave Grid SREF style

Synthwave Grid captures the nostalgic allure of 1980s digital aesthetics, heavily influenced by early computer graphics and science fiction. It is characterized by deep black backgrounds contrasted with glowing magenta and cyan neon lighting, often utilizing a receding wireframe grid plane to create depth. Key features include the digital representation of subjects using particle fields or glowing dots, providing a unique, textured, and immersive look. When using this style in a Midjourney prompt, focus on lighting parameters and mesh rendering techniques to achieve this specific futuristic ambiance.

Synthwave Grid Prompt Ideas

  • Portrait of a subject rendered entirely in glowing cyan and magenta particles, set against a dark digital plane, dramatic volumetric lighting
  • Vast lavender field simulation depicted as glittering point clouds under a synthwave sunset, hyper-detailed digital landscape
  • 3D render of tropical still life—pineapple and grapes—resting on geometric blocks above a glowing neon grid floor, high contrast studio lighting
  • Futuristic city skyline viewed from an ultra-wide angle, buildings composed of fine illuminated dots, deep indigo and purple palette

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.
