Transform Your Architectural Sketch with Midjourney’s Retexture AI Image Editor

Midjourney continues to push the boundaries of AI-powered creativity with its groundbreaking Retexture AI Image Editor. This innovative feature allows architects, designers, and creatives to breathe new life into their projects by altering the texture, material, or surface appearance of objects within their images—while preserving their original shape and composition. Whether you're refining a design concept or exploring new materials, Retexture makes it easier than ever to achieve professional-quality visuals.

What is Retexture in Midjourney?

The Retexture AI Image Editor is designed to help you make targeted modifications to the material and surface qualities of objects in your images. It’s the perfect tool for:

  • Transforming materials, such as changing wood to metal or fabric to glass.
  • Adjusting textures, like shifting from a smooth to a rough surface.
  • Introducing new patterns or finishes to items, enabling endless design possibilities.

With Retexture, you can visualize how changes in materials and textures impact your design concepts, making it a must-have for architecture and landscape architecture professionals.

Who Can Use Midjourney's Retexture Feature?

Currently in its testing phase, this feature is available to a limited audience under the following conditions:

  1. Users who have generated at least 10,000 images on the platform.
  2. Annual subscription holders.
  3. Monthly subscription holders with an uninterrupted 12-month history.

Keep in mind, Retexture is exclusively accessible via the Midjourney website for now. As this feature is gradually rolled out, more users will gain access in the coming months.
