🎨 Exploring MidJourney Version 6's Random Style Feature

The video introduces the new random style feature in MidJourney version 6, which allows users to add a style to their image by typing 'sref space random' at the end of their prompt. This feature is reminiscent of the 'tune' function from version 5 and provides a style reference code next to the prompt. The code can be copied from the job ID on Discord or the website, although the website uses 'srf random' instead of the actual code. Users can apply the same style to different prompts and even combine styles within an image using the 'vary region' tool. The video also discusses the limitations, such as the inability to use more than one code or mix codes with certain commands. It encourages viewers to experiment with different style numbers and share their findings, and it mentions the creation of a website page dedicated to sharing style codes and numbers.
