The Newest Niji style is live!

After observing usage patterns and user preferences from the previous styles, the Niji Journey team discovered a unique model that captures what we truly want. This separate style, derived from the difference between their original intentions and user demands, offers exciting possibilities.

The new style is an Anime-Flavored 3D style, which aligns with the aesthetic preferences of the users.

Join me on this journey of creativity and discovery!

Niji Journey New Style

The new “Default Style” is now the latest style so you do not need to do anything to activate it.

If you wish to switch back to the old default style, simply go to /settings and select “Original Style”.

Experience the Intersection of Imagination and Artistry

Inspired by desire paths and user demands, this style offers a unique blend of aesthetics and captures the essence of what users truly desire with a much more Anime-Flavored Variant

Highlights of the New Niji Style

  • Enriched and Vibrant Color
  • More Intricate Details
  • Better Lighting
  • More Polished and Artistic

To compare the new style of Niji and the original style, I put them to test using the same prompts. Discover how the model’s willingness to draw what users ask for shapes this artistic experience.

Better Lighting with Intricate Details

This is a remarkable difference. The lighting looks more even and natural. Especially looking at the light that shines through and the shadow.

The New Style is more Polished, Artistic and Cinematic!

It also effectively uses color to create captivating visuals and dynamic compositions. We can see more vibrant and richer colors from the newest version.
