Midjourney 5.2 shock release! The original painting generates a 3D scene, infinitely zooming the infinite universe

**Source:**Xinzhiyuan

Guide: The update of Midjourney 5.2 is so shocking, with infinite zoom, each frame is extremely high-definition, and the microcosm can see farther than the Webb telescope.

Midjourney and Stable Diffusion have been rolled to the limit!

Around the same time that Stable Diffusion XL 0.9 was released, Midjourney announced version 5.2.

The most eye-catching update of version 5.2 is the zoom out function, which can expand the original image infinitely while maintaining the same details as the original image.

The boundless universe animation made with zoom out directly shocked people to the point of speechlessness. It can be said that Midjourney 5.2 can see farther than the James Webb Space Telescope!

This extremely powerful function can create amazing pictures, and can even be used to shoot flawless high-definition zoom videos!

This "nuclear bomb level" update made netizens call out: Your function is too powerful, it directly ruined my sleep!

After playing for an hour, the netizen said again: It's too powerful, I'm going to cry...

Infinitely zoomed, endless like the universe—

How many granny are there in the granny universe? The answer is infinite -

Alice chased the little rabbit and accidentally fell down the "rabbit hole" and entered Wonderland.

And this "rabbit hole" made by netizens with zoom out is just like a dream.

There is also an AI image design team—ilumine AI only used a small original painting to generate the following grand scene image through Zoom Out.

Then cooperate with the 2D to 3D technology that is being developed by the company, and directly create a 3D game scene.

I believe that after their products are officially launched, with the Midjourney Zoom Out function of expanding images out of thin air, they can directly create 3D scenes with an original painting.

This is simply going to revolutionize the game industry, and many game production practitioners should cry out.

**Zoom Out vows to crush Adobe AI and Uncrop? **

Previously, the filling function of Adobe's Generative Fill has been played crazy by netizens. The stills of Stephen Chow's movies it filled can be described as "no flaws".

And Stability AI also followed up with a big move. It joins with Clipdrop to launch Uncrop Clipdrop - the ultimate image ratio editor.

The zoom out function of Midjourney's V5.2 is not far behind, and even more powerful.

Just enter the prompt through the "/image" command, and Midjourney will generate four visual iterations based on your image. You can choose your favorite one to zoom in. In the process, the entire image will be rendered with higher details.

All Upscale's images now have a "Zoom Out" button below them that you can use to regenerate the image.

First give an original image that needs to be zoomed, and click the "zoom twice" button below.

Like the Uncrop we introduced before, Midjourney will generate 4 alternative patterns.

After zooming, the styles of the four candidate patterns are very consistent, but there are some differences in the details of the background.

After selecting one of the 4 Upscale patterns, you can also choose to zoom in twice to continuously zoom in on the photo.

It can be seen that the pattern style and details after further zooming are still very consistent. If you want to continue zooming, you can create the effect of the Hubble telescope at the beginning.

As long as you keep repeating this process, you can generate a huge "giant picture" with infinite details.

Coupled with the guidance of enthusiastic netizens, the "infinite universe zoom animation" at the beginning of the article can be generated:

The dreamlike fairyland on the left can continue to expand, allowing the world of art and fantasy to expand infinitely...

Netizens were so excited that they couldn't sleep, and went crazy playing.

Musk's thunderbolt universe is like this.

This is already a master work of art.

Morpheus becomes a Jedi Knight, and the scene expands and becomes even more powerful.

Some netizens said with emotion: Midjourney v5.2 is amazing when simulating camera movement from extremely close-up shots to wide-open shots.

Is the next step just to get the rate to 24-60 frames per second and the characters to be movable? Will Midjourney have a text-to-video service within 12 months?

Of course, there are also netizens who keep up with current events and made an octagonal cage battle map for Boss Ma.

Comparison of the infinite zoom functions of the three major software

Because Uncrop is a free software, I don't know whether it is due to the official consideration of saving resources or technical problems. They do not support infinite doll zooming.

Original image:

After zooming once:

After the second scaling, black borders will be produced, rejecting nesting dolls.

As for Midjourney's Matryoshka universe, we have already seen its effects above.

GF of PS, in theory, as long as the canvas can be expanded infinitely, it is also possible to fill in a picture infinitely in the blank space to achieve the effect of infinite zoom.

It's just a little more troublesome to implement than Midjourney.

Hardcore netizen teaches you how to make an owl video

Here comes the question, how did the shocking owl flying zoom video at the beginning of the article come about?

The master netizen "Guizang" gave us a detailed tutorial to teach us step by step.

First, generate an owl image, then use the 1.5x Zoom Out button below.

After repeating this process 7 times in a row, 7 keyframe images of the video were obtained.

After sorting them, log in to app.cunwayml.com, find the Create Video Tab in the left navigation, and then find the Frame Interpolation function.

Then use the 7 pictures we made, drag them into the left position and upload them, and after checking the order is correct, you can click Generate to generate the video.

After a period of time, you can see the preview effect of this video, but ordinary users can only export 720P.

It's too long to read the version: 8 major functions of V5.2 update

In short, this V5.2 update can be summarized as the following 8 major functions.

1 Square Reframe

• Expand image size

• Option to make a square

This update comes with a "make square" tool that can change the shape of images made with aspect ratios other than square.

Original image with 16:9 aspect ratio

square image

Using this tool, you can resize any photo, restructure the image, and adjust it as it is convenient to display on social media.

2 Standard Zoom (Standard Zoom 1.5 - 2x)

Select zoom 1.5x or 2x.

This feature is good for zooming at short distances and can add more detail to photos.

3 Unlimited Zoom「Endless Zoom (Re-Zoom a Pic)」

This function can be used to create a new background for the picture around a specific character.

4 Custom Zoom Reframing

Whether you're an artist, designer, or brand, you can customize the size of your images to fit any online platform.

5 Stylize

Midjourney is trained to create images with artistic sparkle and rich visual beauty, which is its biggest difference from Stable Diffusion.

Previously, users could add "–styleize X" to the end of the prompt (image X ranges from 0-1000), but V5.2 takes the model's existing stylization features and increases them in terms of realism and flair to 11.

6 Change mode (iation Mode)

Midjourney V5.2 also comes with a new feature called "Variation Mode", which allows users to repeatedly polish the visual nuances they want to apply to the output.

Using the "Low Variation" mode in , you can generate a consistent character image, and if you choose "High Variation", it will lead to a larger visual difference from the original output, and the four pictures will be more creative and artistic. .

7 Different Individual Pics (y Individual Pics)

Give it an original picture of you, and you can choose to generate four similar you, or you with very different styles.

8 Shorter hints (/Shorten s)

There is often a misconception about midjourney: if you use more words in , you will see better or more detailed results.

But in fact, too long prompts tend to offset the impact of each word, resulting in the output picture not necessarily in line with the user's idea.

The "shortening" command function of the Midjourney update this time can analyze the components and provide us with some suggestions for alternative solutions.

With a new s, the original image can often be used to generate more stunning results.
