Introducing Niji V5: Next Level Anime-Rendering With Midjourney
A Leap Forward in Anime Aesthetics
The Midjourney team just announced the testing of a brand new version of Niji, a model specifically designed for anime aesthetics. It’s basically the V5 update for anime — so say hello to Niji V5, a major upgrade for anime aesthetics.
Here’s how to use it:
How to use Niji 5
To get started, just add the following model parameter to your prompts:
--niji 5That’s all.
You will immediately see the model’s improvements if you compare it to the “old” Niji model.
--niji
Niji V5 comes with a “stylize” parameter that takes values from 0 to 1000 (100 being default). This allows you to fine-tune how strongly you want the new model to act out its tendency to render everything in an anime (pretty similar to how Midjourney V5 has a tendency towards photorealism)
Use it like this:
--niji 5 --stylize [VALUE FROM 0 TO 100]
Another great addition, which Midjourney quietly introduced with Niji V5, is the possibility to finally render anime images in wide aspect ratios. Something that has not been possible with the previous Niji models.
