Midjourney: Exploring Weirdness and Chaos Parameters

MidjourneyTry it →Watch full video →Futurepedia ·

Demo summary

The video shows how the --weird parameter introduces unconventional aesthetics and how the chaos parameter creates diverse initial image grids.

Step-by-step

  1. Type your prompt followed by the --weird parameter
  2. Assign a numerical value to the parameter (e.g., --weird 40 to --weird 3000)
  3. Run the prompt to generate a grid of four images
  4. Increase the numerical value to achieve more unconventional compositions, angles, and perspectives

Options

  • Use values between 40 and 200 for subtle unconventional aesthetics
  • Use values up to 3000 for extreme variations including selective coloring and long exposures
  • Combine with the stylize parameter to maintain conventional attractiveness while being weird

Watch out for

  • High weirdness values can cause the AI to lose specific prompt details like setting, lighting, and color grading
  • Increasing weirdness often defaults to less attractive subjects or unflattering poses (e.g., people looking bored or annoyed)

Tips

  • Stay in the range of 40 to 200 for most explorations of unconventional aesthetics
  • Use simple, literal prompts to see the most dramatic effects of the weird parameter
  • Keep the parameter on the lower end unless you specifically want to explore highly unusual outcomes

Highlights

“it's really fun it can lead to some very unique outcomes”
