How to use sref random

Apr 26, 2024



If you haven’t tried yet, check out our style reference feature. It allows you to input an image to influence the style of your generations! You can see a tutorial on how to use it here: 🧋 Sref: Style References!

Introducing --sref random

Now, you can generate a sref picture without having a picture style reference!

You can get a variety of styles by using --sref random

For example:

miku eating a hamburger --sref random

miku eating a hamburger --sref 2954650647

miku eating a hamburger --sref 2077548100

miku eating a hamburger --sref 3403639244

Repeating a style

When you hit enter, you’ll notice something strange happens: the word “random” gets turned into a number!

You can think of this as the id number of the style. you can then take this number and generate different pictures with the same style.

a man drinking coffee --sref 3403639244

a girl with angel wings --sref 3403639244

a frog holding an umbrella --sref 3403639244

a girl riding a unicorn --sref 3403639244

Combining sref and cref

Just like sref, which takes in a picture, we can combine the sref id to construct pictures of the same character, in a particular style. For example, given this input picture:

a anime girl with silver hair and yellow eyes fox ears

We can transfer the character into our desired style with the sref id

a fox girl with golden eyes --sref 3403639244 --cref link-to-the-picture

Controlling Style

With the release of style tuner, we took the first step to cataloguing the range of styles available to niji. Now, just a few months later, there’s so many more ways to control “style”

Between the style tuner, sref with an image, or this new sref id system, I wonder which one will prove most useful in the future? These paradigms are waiting to be explored.

I hope you make wonderful things!

As always, thanks for your support on this journey!
