- Do you have trouble getting MidJourney AI to create consistent, usable product designs? I did too! But after a lot of experimenting I came up with some great ways to get MidJourney to consistently make professional level product designs to design any kind of product you want in any style.
Some links to some other great resources for using Midjourny for product design:

Hi Gray, saw your kind mention of NUS’ videos. I’m the teacher responsible for that class and wanted to say that I really appreciate the shout-out for the students. It means a lot to them and gives them visibility and a sense of real-world validation, which helps make school meaningful and connected to the industry. Thank you, we appreciate you - and have started telling our students about your channel.
Hi Donn! Thanks for leaving a comment! Honestly, the videos your students put out is really high quality and seems to be way more in depth than any other source I can find for AI and Product Design. I've also been telling people about those videos when AI comes up in conversation. Seems like you are running a great program over there. Great job to you and your students :D
Hi Gray, hi Donn, I just saw both of your videos. Great work and also easy to understand.
I personally have my head deep in Midjourney for several months. I think it's a great tool for idea brainstorming and form research. It is hard to have a lot of control, but blends work very well. I happen to work in the watch industry and try to use Midjourney for that. I must say it's a lot harder than classical product design. Just as the NUS video describes, watches a made with LOTS of precise details. The industry also follows it own rules.. let's say most watches are not "designer watches".. Midjourney and Dall E where terrible for that some months ago. Now (beginning of 2024) things are a lot better! I happen to spend a lot of time to create images of persons wearing a watch! Not a specific one I designed (impossible for now), but a realistic ones where to insert a watch using Photoshop. I hope soon this can be done by Midjourney!
Designing watches works to some extend, but the risk is to get always the same results, or a bit generic ones.. Minimalistic watches are easy.. complex Chronograps (that don't look like existing swiss watches) are much harder.
For sure you can get ideas for details, color schemes etc.
But to get a final result You must go back to Rhino.. model it out respecting movement and general construction rules and proportions.. And then do some great renderings! I usually use Maxwell Render which is slow, but high quality and unbiased. Perfect for watches and jewellery! For example gold comes out much more realistic than any other software.
Keep up with the good work and let's see How AI assisted design will look like in another 6-12 months! Probably we will get full 3D models! 😁
@@mirkosch926 thanks for the note - I just saw this, sorry for being late to reply. The tools have progressed so far by now and the latest 'style ref' is quite something.
What a detailed review! I think all your points are dead on. For now, it seems it’s not a replacement for classic design work. But it’s fun to play around with and get inspiration.
We’ll see where it goes…
Your videos are amazing - I actually get excited when I see a video of yours pop up every now and then!
Aw that’s so nice, thanks!
Bro thank you for posting another video. Its a real joy to watch your content
Thanks, Danny
Every time you post I get excited man keep it up
Thanks for the encouragement :) glad you like it
Love this video!!!!
Thank you SO much for such a great roundup of how to get pesky Midjourney to create decent product shots (mostly they come out as product sh*ts).
Have been playing around for ages with not much luck until now! Yippeeeeeeeee.
Thanks Mr Gray Things. We love you. xx
glad it helped! yes, you just need the little tricks :)
Awesome tutorial. I was actually looking for some tutorial for the prosthetic finger design, and this would be a perfect tutorial for that.
I'll post once I create the design based on your tutorial (make sure I'll reference your clips)
Super cool
What you share is very interesting 👌 Thank you!
I was looking for good prompt ideas to generate pictures of a home camera I'm designing, and your video is the first that pops up :D
What a coincidence!
MJ is an excellent generator of ideas and enhancer of imagination. Here, I would stop with additional conclusions.
I was missing some key features to make this tool worthwhile. I've used it before and the results was not useful at all.
Now, it's pure magic! Thanks
Glad it helped
Thank you so much help me a lot ❤❤❤❤
You’re welcome
I love that you express what people think is complicated in a relaxed way, and it is easy to understand. It's great. Please continue your creation and I will always support you. Also as an industrial designer, I can feel the excellent appeal you create in a team.
Thanks for the nice words :) will continue
Hi : ) great content, love it! immediately wanna try it out !! I just created a own server, then noticed I can not add the midjourney bot :( is it correct this just works for paid subscription? Which one do you use (basic, standard, pro)?
Great question, I’m not sure. I have the paid subscription now, but I believe I added the bot before? Maybe things have changed since then though…
Instead of uploading several images and adding them all up with a text prompt you can do a normal blend and after the first creation add a text prompt. Usually I partially describe the images and add what I want to accieve.
I'm not sure if the outcome is different, but it works well.
Maybe a test run doing both methods could show if it's the same or not..
Will test that out, thanks!
Great stuff 👍
Do you know if Stable Diffusion has similar features such as /blend and image referencing?
Yes, just a bit more work to set up 😅
3:14 Thank you for the great video to introduce how to use MJ for product design. Could you share the link to the NUS AI video? Thanks.
I think I have it in the description for you :)
HI! Great tutorial, many thanks! Quick question: are you using Midjourney free or a specific plan for this level of image quality?
ummmm i gave them like 11 dollars a month or something. Sooo whichever plan that is :)
It would be interesting to see how mid Journey is incorporated into a real design process. I'm thinking something like, sketches for the initial ideation phase, use mid journey to remix the different designs and then going into cad. I dont like the fact that you're using it to generate ideas, since it has no concept of what a security camera is, what parts it is made out of, etc.
Yes definitely. But i think what is interesting is that a bunch of the designs you can come up with directly out of midjourney are somewhat feasible given standard components and and sticking to a design direction. I haven’t personally replaced my process with MidJourney yet but I’m trying to stay open to incorporating it.
4:13 does this have to be a midjourney image or can you combine two pictures for example a can of coke with a can of pepsi?
Thanks for sharing❤ will you please tell us about stable diffusion thanks 🎉
I’ve played with it a little but I’m afraid I don’t have a good enough grip to make a video. I think you’ll have to check out all the other great videos on RUclips :)
This is great
Glad you like :)
Nice 👌🏻
Thanks!
is there an AI tool that you can bring in a 3d file ( like step) and get it ro do renders in different syles and environments?
You could take a screenshot and import into Midjourney. I want to say you can also import 3D now into VizCom
Just to confirm you need to sign up and pay to play for this app ?
What mic you using there?
That’s the microphone I designed for Babbl 😊
I enjoyed the video. It seems that companies will hire only a handful of senior designers in the future, and refine and design the drafts from Midjourney. It will be difficult for new designers to enter.
Unfortunately you might be right. Hopefully not though…
I mean i get what you mean and idk if its just wishfull thinking on my end seeing as im currently studying for a masters in Industrial design engineering, but i dont think we will be obsolete
@@maxosterberg60 Honestly, a lot of these companies are slow to learn anyway. Maybe it could be a new skill you bring to the company?
@@graydawdy1491 yeah hopefully! Non of our classes teach ai aplication to design but the students use it all the time for getting out of the brainstorming rut
What plan did you suscribe to?
Ummm can’t remember bit I give them money now. I think it’s free up to a point
i can never make it work.... they never allow me a trial, when i try to pay they reject payments...
O weird!
My tip is dont
Thanks for the tips, Chunky Lover 69420
best tip I see so far
way to do the first step a million miles an hour! fuxk man
U gotta keep up!
You seem like the perfect person for a product design course using artificial intelligence. I would be the first to buy
But then it wouldn’t be free!
@@somegraythings keep doing this work and take the course too, for those who want something more advanced.😉
You’re saving lives! 🥹
Yes, that’s what AI tutorials do
My friend, Midjourney is as good at product design as ChatGPT is at writing bestselling books 🙂
So is that good or bad?
@@somegraythings It's a long time away, haha
