Midjourney 5.2 | 100 patterns for prompting inspiration

The speaker discusses their interest in experimenting with AI technologies, particularly focusing on image generation and visual exploration. They mention using mid-journey version 5.2 and testing out a new feature called 'very region' for in-painting. However, they chose not to make a video about it as it doesn't align with their workflow. Instead, they explore patterns using the 'dash - dash tile' feature, aiming to create seamless patterns applied to objects or environments. They tested various patterns like abstract floral, acid wash, bamboo weave, and more, combining them with words like 'Rose ship' and 'garden' to see how the patterns would translate. The results varied, and they suggest playing with style, eyes, or raw settings for better outcomes.

The speaker continues to explore different patterns, including chintz, circuit board, coral reef, and cross stitch, among others. Each pattern brings a unique effect to the tile and reference images, with some patterns like the crystal cluster and damask offering a fragile or old-fashioned look. Others, like the diamond plate and digital code, provide an industrial or binary aesthetic. The speaker appreciates how some patterns transform the images of roses, ships, and gardens, while noting that certain patterns like Dobby and feather patterns are particularly amusing or attractive.

The exploration of patterns continues with a focus on vibrant and textured patterns such as graffiti, crunch, hexagon, and houndstooth. The speaker notes the varied effects these patterns have when applied to tiles and reference images, with some patterns like the inlay and interstellar space patterns standing out for their unique appearances. They also discuss patterns inspired by nature, like ivy vines and leafy patterns, and how these can make ships' sails appear to be made of leaves. The speaker concludes this section by commenting on patterns like marble and marquetry, which invoke the material's appearance more than the pattern itself.

The speaker delves into cosmic and geometric patterns, including fractals, galaxy, and geometric tessellation, noting how these create interesting tile designs and affect the appearance of roses and ships. They highlight the迷宫 (labyrinth) pattern and how it creates a maze-like appearance on gardens. The speaker also touches on patterns like neon lights and paint splatter, which offer a vivid and abstract look, as well as patterns inspired by natural textures, such as snakeskin and snowflakes. Each pattern is evaluated for its effectiveness and aesthetic appeal when applied to various subjects.

The examination of patterns includes artistic and cultural influences, such as paisley, peacock feather, and plaid. The speaker describes how these patterns affect the appearance of roses, ships, and gardens, with some patterns like the Prince of Wales check and psychedelic styles offering a strong visual impact. They also discuss patterns inspired by techniques like Shibori and woodcut, as well as natural phenomena like x-rays and zebra prints. The speaker expresses a particular fondness for the Zentangle pattern, appreciating how it transforms the subjects into black and white line drawings.

In the final paragraph, the speaker expresses a desire for updates to the Aesthetics, having been using version 5 for a long time. They acknowledge that there is still more to explore within the current version and encourage viewers to find patterns they like and want to use. The speaker thanks the audience for watching, encourages interaction through subscribing, liking, and commenting, and ends with a prompt for the audience to continue experimenting with prompts in AI image generation.
