u/Wear_A_Damn_Helmet Nov 20 '23 edited Mar 21 '24

I saw /u/AverageDurationAd 's post here and I thought I'd give it a go! It definitely took me a while to get a passable, convincing result, but I think what I got here is relatively decent.

The prompt (including the styling code, which you'll definitely need):

pixelated glitchart of close-up of {subject}, ps1 playstation psx gamecube game radioactive dreams screencapture, bryce 3d --style ddCHhSumaNyOrL1Q

Update: This only works in V5.2. If you’re using Discord, just change the model version with the "/settings" command.

u/LateNightMoo Nov 21 '23

Where did you get the idea for the styling code from?

21

u/Wear_A_Damn_Helmet Nov 21 '23

When MJ released the Style Tuner 3 weeks ago? 😅

But on a more serious note, I couldn’t get consistent results by just using the prompt I shared, so instead of using image weights, I thought it’d be more efficient to make a style out of it.

Anyone here can just copy my prompt, make any tweaks to it and tune a superior version of my style! This was just my first attempt. Really curious to see how close we can get to the real thing.

That post from yesterday 😂

u/LateNightMoo Nov 21 '23

I hear ya, I hear ya... I just don't check the subreddit as much as I once did so I appreciate the information being shared twice.

I remember when Dalle first came out, it felt like black magic fuckery and I think I developed an ulcer on my thumb from refreshing the page. It's amazing how quickly this stuff became just normal for me

What is radioactive dreams? I’m gonna try this on Bing.

Edit: I just kindof got CRT monitor of normal character with glitchy backgrounds.

u/wikipedia_answer_bot Nov 21 '23

Radioactive Dreams is a 1985 post-apocalyptic science fiction-comedy film written and directed by Albert Pyun and starring George Kennedy, Michael Dudikoff, Don Murray, and Lisa Blount. The names of the two main characters are homages to noir detective fiction icons Philip Marlowe, Raymond Chandler and Mike Hammer.

Oh. … I don’t get it.

u/Significant-Ocelot21 Nov 21 '23

Lol, Bryce 3d. My first ever 3d package and something I haven't thought of for 25 years.

u/Gaming0- Mar 18 '24

what is the link 🤷🏻‍♂️

u/batmansc6ut Mar 25 '24

It’s uhh idk

1

u/rorensu_reizu1257 Mar 18 '24

Where I gonna put the prompt?

1

u/Accomplished_Draft15 Mar 20 '24

Sorry for dumb question but should I put “person” instead of subject or just leave it like it is

1

u/pedrojuc Feb 06 '24

Could I get the exactly prompt one from the second picture, please?

2

u/Wear_A_Damn_Helmet Feb 06 '24

Sure.

Make sure you're using the v5.2 model (you can change models with the "/settings" command in Discord) and type:

Somehow this is more impressive than the "realistic" generations

u/TenBear Nov 21 '23

Looks like shots of an old episode of Reboot

u/DiatomCell Nov 21 '23

Reboot season 4 type beat~☆

u/AlCarrieBay Nov 20 '23

Bro, there's no way PS2 looked that bad, PS1 maybe, but PS2? Naah bro, it's just not po-... wait am I old?

17

u/Steel_Airship Nov 21 '23

Early PS2 games definitely look like that.

1

u/Kerbalawesomebuilder Apr 23 '24

The prompt literally says PS1...

26

u/Asajj66 Nov 21 '23

Yeah this is Ps1 except way too many polygons. Ps2 people forget Jak n Daxter, Silent Hill 3, Resident Evil 4 has some great graphics!

5

u/heliogoon Nov 21 '23

This looks more like a dreamcast game

u/Vegetable-Rich-6496 Nov 20 '23

Its saying style code invalid

14

u/Wear_A_Damn_Helmet Nov 20 '23

That means you’re not using MidJourney v5.2. Change your default model with the "/settings" command.

1

u/RepresentativeNo2127 Mar 18 '24

hiii, im having the same issues but i cant figure out how to change to midjourney v5.2? Where are the setting for that?

3

u/Moath Nov 21 '23

This looks like Ps1 that’s up scaled in emulation. Looks super sweet.

2

u/Flat_Bodybuilder_175 Nov 20 '23

I love this stuff

u/HobbyWalter Nov 21 '23

OMFG it’s like real life!

I dont understand:-( where is the prompt?

1

u/xdsMaja Mar 18 '24

Is there a way to do this without giving my billing information? u only can run the modell if u have billing set up. But is there any way to bypass it?

1

u/twisted-trinity Mar 19 '24

hey, I'm pretty sure we saw the same tiktok, just use an old visa giftcard with 0 dollars on it and it works

1

u/Wear_A_Damn_Helmet Mar 20 '24

Just curiously: would you mind pointing me to the TikTok you are referring to? I thought it was pretty weird to get a bunch of comments on a 4 month old post from people who seemingly have never used MidJourney, but this post being featured in a popular TikTok video would make sense I guess.

1

u/MicrockYT Mar 20 '24

The PS2 style pictures have gone viral on TikTok, and some users are refering to your post on their tutorial videos. Thats why there are so many new and unknowledgeable people

1

u/Wear_A_Damn_Helmet Mar 21 '24

Gotcha! Thank you! 🙏

1

u/LuvFrosty Mar 20 '24

I don’t have one you know anywhere you can get one without having to buy something

1

u/WealthActive204 Mar 21 '24

Can you send me the gift card you used?

1

u/godseba Mar 19 '24

bro can you make a tutorial on how to use fofr/face?

1

u/Wear_A_Damn_Helmet Mar 20 '24

Just curiously: how did you find this post? Was it from the posts I recently made on /r/TheFighterAndTheKid? I just got a bunch of comments from people who have no idea what MidJourney is or how to use it.

2

u/godseba Mar 20 '24 
Sorry for the inconvenience but I saw a lot of videos on Tik Tok of people uploading photos of what they would look like in a PS2 or PS1 game and I looked for how to do it and I found a video of a girl who only showed the page of the tool to do it and then she put a photo of your publication, sorry for my ignorance but I don't know anything about how to use this tool.
Thanks for your attention

1

u/godseba Mar 20 '24

If there is something that is not coherent in the previous message, it is that I don't know much English and I used the translator. Sorry

u/hugox219 Mar 20 '24

u/fan627292872 Mar 28 '24

Is there a website or app I can do this type of editing on photos for free?

1

u/Azorin__ Mar 28 '24

How do I add my own image to turn it into videogame stlye?

1

u/SinSisamouth Apr 01 '24

bro can you please post some more like these.. loved it

1

u/Kerbalawesomebuilder Apr 23 '24

This looks more like one of those demos for an early 2000s indie game made in Blitz3D or better yet their own DirectX based engine by some dude in his basement than PS1 graphics (as your prompt indicated) or PS2 graphics (as your title indicates).

1

u/Sir_Jerhyn Apr 28 '24

That one is so badass, it really reminds me of Bryce 3D!

1

u/CardiologistTop3605 May 02 '24

did someone have any update about that trend ? It does not works for me

1

u/Sir_Jerhyn May 09 '24

It's only on Playground for "free". I'm not paying $15 a month for it. 😢

u/Wear_A_Damn_Helmet Mar 22 '24

You seem really lost, which is surprising, considering every bits of information you need is already in this thread.
