How to Use Midjourney on Discord

Midjourney is an AI art generator that creates images from text prompts. It runs on the Discord chat platform, allowing users to generate images through text commands. If you want to create amazing AI art easily, using Midjourney on Discord is a great option. 

In this article, I'll go over how to access Midjourney and use the key features to generate images through Discord. I'll also provide tips to create better art prompts and get the most out of Midjourney. Let's get started!

What is Midjourney?

Midjourney is an artificial intelligence system that generates unique images and animations from text descriptions. Developed by Anthropic, it uses a deep learning model trained on millions of images to "imagine" completely new ones based on prompts.

Midjourney runs on Discord, allowing users to text in descriptions and generate art through conversational commands. Some key capabilities include:

1. Generating images from natural language prompts 
2. Upscaling images to higher resolutions
3. Editing and iterating on images 
4. Creating animations 
5. Chaining multiple commands 

It provides an easy way for anyone to create AI art without needing to code!

Advantages and Disadvantage of Midjourney 

 Step-by-Step process to Use Midjourney

Here is a step-by-step walkthrough of how to use Midjourney on Discord to create amazing AI art.

Step:1 Join the Midjourney Discord server

First, you need access to Midjourney through the Discord platform. Discord is a free chat app used by communities and gamers. 
To join Midjourney, go to Discord, create an account if you don't have one, download the app on your device, and then follow this invite link: https://discord.gg/midjourney
This will add you to the Midjourney Discord server, where you can start using the bot!
 Link your Discord account to Patreon  
Once in the Midjourney Discord, you need to link your Discord account to a paid Patreon subscription. This gives you credits to generate a certain number of images each month. 
There are different tiers like $10 for 25 images per month, $30 for 100 images, etc. Choose a tier, then link your Patreon to Discord by clicking "Connect" under Midjourney Bot Commands.

You'll now be able to generate images!

Step:2 Understand the prompt structure

To generate images with Midjourney, you need to write text prompts describing what you want it to create. 
The structure is straight forward: `/imagine prompt` 

For example:

`/imagine an astronaut riding a horse on mars, digital art`
Be as descriptive as possible. Use styles, genres, and proper nouns to guide the AI. Experiment with different prompts to achieve different results.

Step:3 Generate images with /imagine

Now you're ready to use the `/imagine` command to generate images! 

Type a prompt like:

`/imagine a cute baby sea otter wearing a bowtie, digital illustration` 
Midjourney will begin imagining and send you a post with four image variations based on your prompt.

Step:4 Upscale images with /upscale 

Midjourney generates images at 512x512 pixels. To increase resolution, use the `/upscale` command.

For example: 

`/upscale 2 --prompt "a landscape digital painting of a vast wilderness, trending on art station"`
This quadruple upscales the image to 2048 x 2048 px. Play with different upscale factors like 2x, 4x, etc.

 Step:5 Edit images with /edit

To edit an existing image, use `/edit [number]` to select it. Then add the edit prompt:
`/imagine this photo looking like a vibrant oil painting` 
This allows iterating on images easily.
 Explore variations with /variation
Use `/variation [number]` to explore different variations of a prompt. This generates similar images to pick the best one.

 Step: Make animations with /animate

To create animated images and videos, use the `/animate` command. For example: 

`/animate a cute baby sea otter clapping underwater`

This renders an animated GIF or MP4 video clip.
