What is Vector Etch SREF style

This style emphasizes clarity through pure black ink outlines and solid fills against a stark white background, resembling contemporary editorial illustration or detailed sketches. It utilizes hatching and stippling for texture rather than shading, creating high contrast and a graphic visual impact. When using **Midjourney**, incorporating terms like "minimalist ink drawing" or "hand-drawn vector" helps capture this aesthetic. A successful **prompt** requires precise control over line quality, often pairing subjects with keywords like "high contrast" and "monochromatic" to achieve this distinctive, clean look.

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.
