Demo summary

The narrator demonstrates how to use Midjourney's prompt box and settings, including the repeater code and turbo mode, to generate multiple iterations of a 2D anime squirrel character.

Step-by-step

Go to the prompt box at the top and type in your character description
Go to Settings and select the 16x9 format
Set the mode to RAW and the version to standard
Turn down stylization, weirdness, and variety to zero
Add the repeater code '--r' followed by a number up to 40 at the end of the prompt
Click generate

Options

Use turbo mode for faster generation
Set the repeater code to any number up to 40 to create multiple iterations

Tips

Turn down stylization, weirdness, and variety to zero to have maximum control over outputs
Use the repeater code every time to give yourself more options to pick from
