 Everybody welcome back to another mid-journey version 5 tutorial and this one we're in Neji version 5 that's right the anime bought and I'm going to show you the new style expressive it's a new style that just launched today and it's got a bunch of cool things that are attached to it I'm going to show you how to set it up and use it because it's not quite as user as straightforward as you might like and then after that I'll show you some examples so here it is in a nutshell Neji 5 style expressive is basically described as having more mature feelings as well as a little bit more of a western style of anime or of anime art so a little more western and a little bit more mature feelings in particular it has a realistic eye style it has subsurface scattering and ambient occlusion whatever that is I have an idea what it is but it deals with a little bit more it uses those a little more and also the color tones and the palette it sort of moves towards warmer and more vibrant colors due to higher chroma so that is the the gist of what it it does we're of course going to put that into play and put it into action now if you look at my mid-journey up at the top right you'll see here I am in my own channel it's called Curtis Midjay or in my own server to be more correct and it's got me and then it's got the Neji mid-journey bought that's very important you have to be working with the mid-journey with the Neji journey bought you can't access this inside standard mid-journey at this time so with that out of the way to access this all you need to do is type in settings forward slash settings hit enter and when you do that you'll see a few options but here you'll see expressive style so I'm in Neji version 5 by default because I'm in Neji in my server and I've selected expressive style also there's two more coming this month so April 16th and 23rd just two more styles coming but there you go this is how you access it if you do not have the mid-journey or the Neji bought you can go to this link here I'll put a description in the below and what it's going to do is it's just going to go ahead and open up this here which is their website and you just need to go ahead and sign in and download the bot so you got to download it into discord it's very easy to do but you'll need to go there okay with all that preamble out of the way let's get into Neji so here we go I've got five or so examples this one here I'm going to run first I'm going to go so to do that and I'm just kind of picking random style so I'm going to go forward slash imagine and I'm going to go a group of happy students take an adventure in the woods beautiful sunlighting I'm going to run that and when I run on that you'll see that it says style expressive so that means the expressive style has been selected so what I'm going to do is I'm going to run five or so of these prompts and then I'm going to run them again without the expressive style we'll compare them and that way you can see whether or not it's something you know you want to give a crack to so there you go I'm going to run them I'm going to come back when they're done and then we'll wrap it up all right everybody so it's finished up let's take a quick look at this so here's the first one a group of happy students take an adventure in the woods beautiful sunlighting in dash dash style expressive this is what we got and it's pretty damn good I really like this third one here they're all good actually they're all kind of cute but I like the third and the fourth one especially so if you wanted to keep those or up you can basically upscale them by clicking on u3 or u4 or if they're good but you want to vary them up a little bit you can click on the v3 or v4 and make a variation like this so if I just wanted to change this up a bit I would just create a variation by clicking on that v here is the second set and this is a futuristic space station a group of human in robotic suits okay so humans in robotic suits doing some stuff also fantastic this is style expressive we're going to go through this nice and quick now here's another set of style expressive this is a shot of shibuyu street shibuyu shibuya street also you can see it's in style expressive and then a coffee shop on the beach I like a lot of these shots here and then I did one kind of a little outside the box a cute french bulldog with happy features and this gave me photorealistic results practically so a little different not gonna lie but hey you know what I like it I like that look at that bulldog so here is the version here the same prompt happy students take an adventure beautiful sun lighting knee g5 without the expressive so this is not style expressive so this is the default style and you can see they're a little bit different the colors are a little bit less vibrant there's a little bit less contrast in them the style is very similar but again you can see the differences here's the uh shot on the moon type thing where they're out there working with their suits again a little bit less contrast if we compare it to this one here these have darker and brighter colors and a little more cartoony at least on the bottom to these ones a lot less chroma so keep that in mind this is actually quite a different look here this is the shibuya street and I quite like these images if we go back to the original up here then the expressive also very very similar but look the colors are much brighter you can totally see that so you could see quite a difference here let's go down and look at the bulldog the bulldog is completely different this one here on the bottom left is cute but the other ones are all kind of cutie renders and then bang the coffee shop beside the beach blue sky great looking traditional anime style where if we go back to what we ran up here again brighter colors a little bit more um animated look to it cartoony but there you go these are the two comparisons this is how you set it up this is the become an amazing anime maker with this new style expressive it's real good it's worth a look if you have any questions leave me a comment below thanks for watching
