Okay, so the other new feature in Midjourney’s editor—”retexture”—is lots of fun.

It works a lot like ControlNet (whytryai.com/p/controln…) or Adobe’s “Structure Reference” (whytryai.com/p/adobe-st…)

You upload an image and tell Midjourney to reimagine it according to your text prompt while keeping all the structural elements and their positions intact.

It works impressively well.

I took this original image from Pixabay: pixabay.com/photos/coup…

Then I retextured it using three separate prompts:

1. "Two futuristic soldiers walking through neon-lit streets of a dystopian sci-fi city at night.”

2. “Pencil sketch of medieval peasants walking through a field of wheat at dusk”

3. “Claymation diorama of two astronauts in helmets exploring an alien planet full of giant trees, pastel colors”

The results are in the image.

Lots of potential for shenanigans!
