v2

[glossy herald]

yep I saw that, interesting

[smoky oak]

I believe I heard it has massive VRAM usage tho, like 30+GB

[glossy herald]

I'll make a lora for my prompting style I think

damn

[smoky oak]

You can make characters for that sort of thing

it really is quite cool how it works

like that assistant character is made from just this

just a name, start, and context of what it does

[static tusk]

ask the assistant to do the training for you 😆

[smoky oak]

That would be dope haha

unfortunately, this model is made for "roleplay" and character interaction. It does a damn good job of fleshing out characters with consistent personalities and details tho

[smoky oak]

I love moments like this lol

[static tusk]

lol

[smoky oak]

I made a character named steve that is always talking nonsense lol

I wanna make him crazier

Bingo, we're getting somewhere

BINGO

Thats the crazy I wanted lol

[fresh hound]

One of Star fleets finest..

[fresh hound]

sir, here in texas we do not...moo...

[glossy herald]

hehe

I do have a cow model right now

cyberclothes cow

[spring kelp]

that...is fucking annoying lol

[glossy herald]

I'm not entirely sure they read it right though.
It crashed when it had 8GB and tried to allocate 50MB more, but since it allocated small bits by small bits, it could also have crashed at 9GB trying to allocate some more for example

you'd need to have it run to know

[spring kelp]

yeah and im not really interested in having vicuna or w,e it is

[glossy herald]

I'm not sure what's the best LLM right now you can install at home, this is what it is, a large language model like chatGPT, that you can run on your gpu

[spring kelp]

ah i could juse use gpt

[glossy herald]

yep

[spring kelp]

no real need for a llm locally tbh

for me anwyays

[glossy herald]

well, I wanted to try and integrate it in some workflows myself, and chatGPT is paying when you use the API

it's why I'm looking into this

[spring kelp]

i.e run gpt through disc

?

[glossy herald]

a gpt equivalent, yeah

[spring kelp]

that would be neat

[glossy herald]

chatGPT isn't free/available for install

but there are lots of others that do start to come out

and that you can even fine tune to your liking, for some

#🏞｜general-with-images message

[spring kelp]

ive been using gpt to prime it to help with prompts

[glossy herald]

sytan was trying it earlier

[glossy herald]

yep, same, and it's quite good at it

I would want to be able to have a preprocess of my prompt by chatGPT, to make it change a little and better itself each try

[spring kelp]

"A mesmerizing sight of a magical cascade, painted with a fusion of watercolors and acrylics, depicting psychedelic auras in a swirling and enchanting display. Created by the talented artist, Aurora Moon, known for her unique and captivating style that combines abstract and fantasy elements. Uploaded on Aurora Moon's official website, this artwork is sure to leave viewers spellbound with its vibrant colors, intricate details, and otherworldly vibes. The color scheme is a kaleidoscope of vivid hues, with pulsating lights illuminating the scene, creating a surreal and ethereal ambiance that transports viewers to a realm of wonder and awe. The lighting in the artwork is dynamic, casting multi-colored shadows and highlights, adding depth and dimension to the magical cascade."

my latest one lol i think it works nice

[glossy herald]

it's a little too explanatory but yes

[spring kelp]

yee gpt3 doesnt like to listen to word count

was suppose to be a short 45-60 word

medium*

maybe better results with gpt4 but i dont have it

[glossy herald]

example of start of conversation I have with chatGPT when asking for prompts

Stable Diffusion is an AI art generation model similar to DALLE-2.
Below is a list of prompts that can be used to generate images with Stable Diffusion:

• portait of a homer simpson archer shooting arrow at forest monster, front game card, drark, marvel comics, dark, intricate, highly detailed, smooth, artstation, digital illustration by ruan jia and mandy jurgens and artgerm and wayne barlowe and greg rutkowski and zdislav beksinski
• pirate, concept art, deep focus, fantasy, intricate, highly detailed, digital painting, artstation, matte, sharp focus, illustration, art by magali villeneuve, chippy, ryan yee, rk post, clint cearley, daniel ljunggren, zoltan boros, gabor szikszai, howard lyon, steve argyle, winona nelson
• ghost inside a hunted room, art by lois van baarle and loish and ross tran and rossdraws and sam yang and samdoesarts and artgerm, digital art, highly detailed, intricate, sharp focus, Trending on Artstation HQ, deviantart, unreal engine 5, 4K UHD image
• red dead redemption 2, cinematic view, epic sky, detailed, concept art, low angle, high detail, warm lighting, volumetric, godrays, vivid, beautiful, trending on artstation, by jordan grimmer, huge scene, grass, art greg rutkowski
• a fantasy style portrait painting of rachel lane / alison brie hybrid in the style of francois boucher oil painting unreal 5 daz. rpg portrait, extremely detailed artgerm greg rutkowski alphonse mucha greg hildebrandt tim hildebrandt
• athena, greek goddess, claudia black, art by artgerm and greg rutkowski and magali villeneuve, bronze greek armor, owl crown, d & d, fantasy, intricate, portrait, highly detailed, headshot, digital painting, trending on artstation, concept art, sharp focus, illustration

• ultra realistic illustration of steve urkle as the hulk, intricate, elegant, highly detailed, digital painting, artstation, concept art, smooth, sharp focus, illustration, art by artgerm and greg rutkowski and alphonse mucha

I want you to write me a list of detailed prompts exactly about the idea written after IDEA. Follow the structure of the example prompts. This means a very short description of the scene, followed by modifiers divided by commas to alter the mood, style, lighting, and more.

IDEA :

[spring kelp]

lets create prompts to be use for Stable Diffusion. Some parameters to consider; prompts may be formatted in such a way [short], [medium], [large]. If [short] we do 15-30 words maximum, if [medium] we do 30-45 words, if [large] we do 45-60 words maximum. The Format may include [artistic], [realistic], [random], [anime]. If [artistic] try and provide a description that will have the most artistical influence and have a focus on a variety of art styles and try to mix styles together, if [realistic] try and provide a description that will the most photo-realistic and life-like description, if [anime] try and come up with a suggest similar art styles that you would see from Anime, if [random] try and come up with an idea yourself, be sure to include a character focus and theme. I will give you short description i.e "[short][artistic]prompt: beautiful woman in a painting" and you give me a more descriptive version of what I've given you based on what parameter proceeded it. When you give me the prompt, always start your answer with "/imagine prompt:" never deviate from this. at the end of each description you provide within the prompt, you must end it with a minimum of 4 arguments. Remember to never deviate from the assigned word count attributed.

The arguments are as followed.

1. The Subject, The Medium, The Style
2. The Artist
3. Additional details to enrich the image
4. Color scheme, Lighting
   Example of a prompt: A bunny Rabbit, watercolour paint, expressionism, Greg Rutkowski, featured on Artstation, The rabbit is beautiful, pastel color scheme, volumetric lighting

The descriptions should be told in a manner that will catch the viewer's eyes and encapsulate them entirely.

Can we agree on these rules moving forward? Simply reply with ready and confirming the amount of words for [short], [medium] and [large]. DO NOT START PROMPTING.

Is what I had drafted

[glossy herald]

I focus on more examples and short format with mine

but yours should work quite well too

[spring kelp]

Its a repurposed Midjourney primer

I have yet to go back there. A little irritated with the pricing after being offered the same tools locally

[glossy herald]

yeah...

Fuck. That.

Is Topaz a better upscaler than Stable Diffusion stuff?

[glossy herald]

define "better" 😉

But yeah, it's quite good.
The thing is free to download and test, and you can really see the quality of the results. it just adds a watermark if you export

[warm isle]

help pls

[stoic pivot]

You try to upscale and run out of space? Lower amount of upscaling.

[glossy herald]

not sure what you were trying to do, but you tried to allocate 32GB VRAM almost there lol

a looooot too big of a picture

[stoic pivot]

I came in, saw a complex prompt and took copy of it, made it simple, saw a image of a tester bunny man, got inspiration, mixed all that and...

[ripe cedar]

When I get that error, half of the VRAM is reserved for pytorch. How can I maximize VRAM use and minimize what is reserved?

[glossy herald]

it's a fixed amount that is reserved by pytorch, no real way around that.
You can use the --medvram option or --lowvram option to allow for VRAM optimizations, but those will cost you speed instead

also the -xformers option of course

but I think you already have that

[stoic pivot]

The secreet prompt: "brutal art masculine Easter [(bunny:0.7)|(satan:1.3)] is floating in a magical glitter cascade, mix of watercolors and acrylics, depicting ghostly auras in a swirling display, Moon aurora, combine abstract and fantasy, vibrant colors, intricate details, fractalized, kaleidoscope, surreal, dynamic light"

[ripe cedar]

What ControlNet is good is good to generate an image from line-art based off a 3d sculpt? I'm thinking canny, scribble, or hed.

[stoic pivot]

I'm testing 4x-UltraSharp in two steps as someone recommended; first use "Hires. fix" with 2x upscale and then move it to Extras where I add 2x upscsale with 4x-UltraSharp. I think it is over sharpening, what do you think. And better upscale to test as second step?

[dry crow]

Img2img sd upscale script

Would be the way to go for a second upscale

[stoic pivot]

That was a bit better, 00022 is upscaled with Extra and 00022b whit Img2img SD Upscale script, the last one lost some details but is a bit sitrer that I wanted.

[wispy nest]

makima

[ripe cedar]

Upscaling fixes faces without inpaint? But if there are issues with the face after that then it's good to inpaint as a next step? Or is the workflow the other way around?

[dry crow]

yes upscaling can fix the face and hands depending on the upscaler and denois strenght

i would inpaint after that if something isnt correct

[onyx scroll]

It is the dumbest bot ever. I once uploaded a image that it should blocked, some told me, I removed it and made it PG, and Clyde blocked the censored image that was like 25 % black boxes 😄

[dense tapir]

YEP, happened to me

[stoic pivot]

This time it was just a portrait of a male

[dense tapir]

It blocked my Hulk months ago and I guess cause it had a bare chest.

That was the last straw for me

[stoic pivot]

Yes, mine Jesus was also topless, nect tome I need to give Jesus a bra to be less offensive.

And I blame Internet for this.

The prompt was "photorealistic macho man Jesus Christ holding a bottle of Coke"

Interesting interpretation! I like it :>

I'm all for more diversity

[fickle gorge]

I discovered it's possible to use ultimate sd upscaler to img2img any image, it's not just upscaling

[stoic pivot]

I think it would be just interesting to move the same story to Africa and move it back in time, like one man against an imperium with a strong bad king and he build up a rebellion.

We forget that many parts of Africa had large civilizations that would be a good inspiration for a story, and variation is fun, more stories from Gotham and I will rot away.

[dense tapir]

No, Robin from Da Hood is more like it.

[stoic pivot]

Red riding Robin Hood then.

[smoky oak]

Yup! You can use it to remaster old/messed up photos too

@dense tapir do you know how to reset the noise multiplier scale? Looks like deforum changed it, and now all of my Upscales get progressively more grainy

I might have to redo my venv, which I am not too excited for :<

Well, I do not know. Some claimed that Jesus had that Vesuvian look.

[dense tapir]

@smoky oak This one?

[stoic pivot]

I do not know what Ogabooga was so I use AI to find out... that did not help.

I had a stroke (I recover), but I sometime forget the connection to words and have to look it up, memes and so that change often is a hell.

[fickle gorge]

It's so good to be have unlimited internet and a decent monitor, even if just for this weekend. Already got the 4 LLaMas set up

Anyone use inpaint sketch? I have never been able to get it to work as I get this error most times - ValueError: Coordinate 'right' is less than 'left'. I even disabled all extensions and watched a vid but I have always had this error with it.

Remember, when AI take over this may be the last thing you may see... before turning of the computer.

youre missing the VAE file thats is intended to be used with the checkpoint model.

[wise field]

do you have that file by chance?

[static tusk]

go to the page you downloaded the model from. It will list what is required and usually a download link

[wise field]

I used this one lol

[smoky oak]

Alright, so after feedback from r/stablediffusion, seems everybody would prefer I make my upscale guide a text post rather than a video. So I'm going to start working on that. Here is hoping it works

[wise field]

I think @glossy herald had me Download a VAE file for it

and i installed it

I think i forgot to load the VAE file like a dummy lol

ok, just nuked my Venv. Here is hoping it works

I need a new Venv to do this test

[wise field]

Much nice looking (full pic)

[smoky oak]

Oh man, images like that will benefit massively from my upscale workflow :>

just gotta get that guide out. Just need my Venv to rebuild itself

[wise field]

mine is upscalled

[smoky oak]

I know, but I am saying it will benefit from even better upscaling

although, your process is producing very good results as well

[wise field]

hehe

[wise field]

look at this wolf

[smoky oak]

yeah! its looking really good!

You are already in like the top 1% of SD upscalers lol

Here are some simple examples of what my process I am explaining can do.

[wise field]

want to know the sad part?

[smoky oak]

You can see it keeps the composition faithfully, while adding large amounts of detail

[wise field]

I only really started doing this 4 days ago

[smoky oak]

And it also uses no high res fix, which loves to ruin composition like this comparison

I will never use high res fix again lol

It just looks bad most times, and also ruins the composition

[wise field]

me casualy just using only Fenrir as a tag lol

[smoky oak]

Oh thats dope haha

[wise field]

fenrir and gundam tag

[smoky oak]

very very cool stuff!

[wise field]

me using only the Synesthesia tag

I have many other but well I cant post them here

[smoky oak]

I have synesthesia, and I think those came out pretty good!

[quaint bane]

I like that one a lot, especially the clouds

[wise field]

I have a meme for that disability

[smoky oak]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lDfSdA5-PRE

Reminds me of the visualizer for this song. Still the best visualizer I have ever seen as somebody who has synesthesia

[smoky oak]

disability?

[wise field]

synesthesia can be classified as a disibility

as it cionfuses your scences and can be dibilitating

[smoky oak]

I have never once heard that

[wise field]

depending on what synesthesia you have

some can taste words

[smoky oak]

I will say I get what you mean, as there are some songs I have strong aversions to

[wise field]

to SSI its considered one

[wise field]

looks nice

a random 3 leged wolf

[dense tapir]

Yeah, she came out hot. She keeps getting better each day, lol

[smoky oak]

Synesthesia itself isn't a disability. Its like the difference between compulsive tendencies, and over compulsive disorder. Its only OCD once it becomes a problem for daily function

I can say with certainty that my Synesthesia is more of a power than a hindrance lol

[wise field]

well tasting words and hearing collors can be VERY disabling

[smoky oak]

I think you're missing my point. Everything can be disabling in excess, but for most its not in excess

[wise field]

I think i broke my SD lol

it doesnt like upscal by 3-4

[smoky oak]

my guide will show you how to do 8x no problem haha

I am working on it now as we speak

I did an upscale that was 15360x6528, and it worked

[wise field]

this is excessive

[smoky oak]

I am more concerned about the two faces

[smoky oak]

Depends on your use case really. It was perfect for what I needed

[wise field]

Nightmare fuel

[smoky oak]

But I really did it to prove that there are basically no limits for how far you can take it

[wise field]

I think i will reboot it after this image is done

[smoky oak]

sorry, sending for self

[wise field]

np

they look nice though

[smoky oak]

again, for me, should be the last one

[smoky oak]

@dense tapir redoing my venv fixed my upscale workflow. No more grain and mess

[dense tapir]

ffs 😦 I have had to do that so many times it is beyond ludicrous now.

[smoky oak]

kek

[wise field]

ok my GPU runs out of Vram at upscaling x4 i can only do X3

[smoky oak]

what GPU?

[wise field]

for 1536x1536

[smoky oak]

how are you upscaling?

[wise field]

I have a 3060

[smoky oak]

oh jeez, you could use my guide 😅

I could do 10kx10k without even using 6GB VRAM lol

I will send it to you when the guide is done

[wise field]

if its something i ahve to read my ADD goes in to play and i get borde very fast lol

[smoky oak]

Latest example of what my workflow can do

crisp, clean, sharp

Look at the incredible paint texture my upscaling method added. OMG. I didn't expect it to work so good on this prompt

I specifically asked for a very textured and splotchy painting, so I mean. It nailed it

is there a channel dedicated to controlnet talks?

regardless of my question 🙂

[static tusk]

I think it was decided that is in #1011634831467221033

thanks. make sense

[glossy herald]

yep

seemed the most appropriate, since img2img is less and less discussed without controlnet now

[wispy nest]

WOOOHOOO! she's a bit wobbly and i should've cleaned up the initial images to get rid of the pseudo watermarks and signatures...but for a first attempt i'm pretty happy with how this turned out! EDIT: In case people were wondering, I used https://rentry.co/sd-loopback-wave with automatic1111 and https://github.com/google-research/frame-interpolation/ to make the video, then sped it up with https://www.shotcut.org/download/

[wispy nest]

the extra effort to get FILM working was well worth it. way better results than FlowFrames

[smoky oak]

Ah, I used FILM, its pretty cool!

I used it with Deforum to make this

[wispy nest]

i tried deforum a couple months back but wasn't happy with the results. i'm a big fan of how well frame interpolation and the loopback wave script work together though

to be fair...what i was attempting to do with it was asking a lot at the time. Tried to make an animation of a guy waking up, walking to school, checking his locker, going to class, going back to his locker, and then walking home. i also had NO idea what i was doing when i decided to try this. it was a mess lol

awesome sauce! i love the ultimate name. Should give your guide an ultra 64 style logo if you can! just look at this juice

seroiusly though thanks. More people should know about how awesome ultimate is. So much misinformation about it. Too often i see claims that ancient ai upscaling, topaz gigapixel, is superior. With a bit of know how though, topaz aint got shit on SDUU. All that signature blur that is so obvious on any image topaz touches, is non existent.

People who use topaz must have some kind of mental block about it. You tell them there's a better upscaler based on diffusion technology and they'll start defending the merits of topaz like it's their living.

I wasn't aware there were models specifically for inpainting. I've always used the same models for image creation and inpainting, so you should be good regardless.

im more specifically talking about the prompt, model, settings, etc for that specific image. I have already seen that you are working on an upscaling guide :)

[dense tapir]

100% not working so time to try my old ti method that never failed me

[smoky oak]

Oh sure, I can give them to you when I am at my PC again

[static tusk]

have you done any examples of hands or a person wearing jewellery or mechanical objects that arent closeup, theyre usually problematic?

[dense tapir]

apparently my old TI on colab has been abandoned so I can't test

[hasty nova]

Thank you!

[dense tapir]

WOW, did Auto fuck TI training as I haven't used it since right around the first week of Jan and 15gb is not enough to train it?

[hasty nova]

pretty sure it's an issue with xformers, if you can train without "use cross attention while training" then it will work.

[dense tapir]

Well, I got it to work but OMG, this is horribly slow like HN used to be

250 steps on a T4 is about 20m-25m now

Yeah, Pytorch 2.0 there is probably why along with the xformers etc...

@hasty novaTY, as that solved my issue as I rolled back on Colab and back from 7-10s per it to 1.26s/it

[hasty nova]

You have to roll back pretty far if I recall... I haven't been training anything due to this issue since I only got a 3070 with 8gb

[stark vine]

From the protip I explained in #1045770510153302086

Before is Left, After is Right

The details are a bit exaggerated but with some tuning you can nail it down to as many or as few as you like.

[dense tapir]

it rolled it all back to 11.7 and xformers 16

[hasty nova]

That sounds right, there are a few issues opened on the auto repo I have looked at, but most of them say it was fixed in a 1.17 xformers dev build, so idk why it still doesn't work. Ill have to go back to that once I get back into training more.

Do you know if its safe to roll back just cuda and xformers without rolling back the auto repo?

[dense tapir]

I did and it was fine, but I now ripped venv out and let it rebuild as I updated my drivers for my 1060 and auto cease to use my card

[azure kiln]

[hasty nova]

Interesting, thanks!

[dense tapir]

There we go. @smoky oak I just had to rip out venv and let it rebuild so it would start using my card again to gen

[ripe cedar]

Let's say I have 40 images of heads, or chest+head. Can I use them to train a style for an entire body?

[dense tapir]

@ripe cedar no, but you can use them as an intermediate step

[static tusk]

using instruct pix2pix on your original image. No photoshop needed

[stark vine]

woah and here I was thinking it was garbage

prompt?

I stopped using it long ago since it didn't get any buffs

[static tusk]

"make the woman look 25 years older"

no neg

[stark vine]

I gotta try that.

I gave up on it after it wasnt even capable of giving someone blue eyes

[ripe cedar]

Like perhaps using those images and outpainting, and then using the generated outpointed images as training material?

[stark vine]

or it did, but took too many tries lol

[static tusk]

its always been pretty good at aging people

just need to fiddle

[stark vine]

the ultimate upscaler also just got a buff I cant wait to try that shit

it says now u can do .5 without it going off the rails too much fuck im erect

[dense tapir]

I do that a lot on various things then this lora/locon/loha shit took over and nothing but 99% failures for styles. Go back to embeddings (non kohya as it failed too) and success.

Usingthe same data so I must surmise that it is either the DB method or Kohya

I love the vividness of them but I never had more than a couple of successes after 4 months of day in and day out trying everything.

The original lora dev never did 2.x and I see he hasn't updated since Feb. Beta vs VHS and VHS won while being the inferior one.

[smoky oak]

Howdy hello

I wasn't sure if you had seen the actual results of my process or not, so I wanted to share :>

[grizzled sage]

now that avatar 2 is leaked?

i was wondering if you picked up on that

[smoky oak]

Oh, not the LoRA, I meant my upscale process. The Na'vi LoRA has taken back burner, cause so many people have been asking about my upscale process 😅

[grizzled sage]

ah yes! the ultimate

[smoky oak]

I have refined it to a point where I get genuinely impressive results IMO

[smoky oak]

My process has been refined enough that it works almost guaranteed. I am making a whole step by step guide which also explains what's happening, has a massive example gallery, and also has a FAQ section where I can solve popular problems

Here are some of my favorite examples I have at the moment!

Left is raw 512x out of SD, and right is unprocessed after my upscale process

More texture, More detail, more accuracy, more appealing results (IMO) without having to sacrifice the original composition

And these are only 2x results. This process workings basically indefinitely, as long as you have the patience lol

I just need to spend a lot of time making sure I explain it properly, as there are tons of variables. I also need to explain the use of those variables, and when it makes more sense to change them

[modern sage]

Happy Easter everyone. "He is Rizz'n"

[smoky oak]

Awesome, glad you are enjoying it so much. I know I have sunk an alarming amount of time into it haha. But I'm working on guides to improve the community. My passion for sharing knowledge outweighs my need to focus on other things lmao-

This a blessing, and a curse

[grizzled sage]

these are all pretty superb!

[smoky oak]

Thanks! I'm proud to say that I can guarantee that people using my process can get high detailed 4k generations even on 6GB cards

[modern sage]

The collaborative effort of SD is impressive. I'm definitely the type of person that pours over those sorts of materials, and passes them along in time. And i appreciate those that come before me

[grizzled sage]

i've experienced the exact same glimpse at results from the process. the best of the old way of doing it, topaz gigapixel, has some kind of gan like blur when you get to a 100% pixel level. This process just completely obliterates that artifact at all levels

Ultimate is so ultimate. Trying to tell people the memory depends on the tile size and they like "i dont know man" like.. how can you not believe it? we have txt 2 img now!

[stark vine]

No it does not lol

I hate to be the only one standing up for topaz these days but their upscaling is the bomb

[grizzled sage]

it's last gen

like comparing ps1 to ps3 really. Ultimate is just playing leap frog rules

[stark vine]

I havent tried the newest update on ultimate upscaler but if what they say is true, it will blow anything out of the water

The issue I had with UU is that it blurs while upscaling

Even topaz has better conservation of details, but if it works well with 0.5 I will eat my words

[grizzled sage]

luckily people like Sytan are writing proper guides, instead of recommendations from people who spend 2 minutes failing and make a judgement call forever. like, dude, you just needed to double jump. it was the tutorial level

[stark vine]

Where is the guide?

Last time I checked this dude said he didn't want to share tuts

[grizzled sage]

Sytan dropped receipts up top. You'll nit pick i'm sure. But yeah, you don't need to demand this time. He's doing the leg work

could've at least spoilerd a porn warning

[stark vine]

I know the right one is deformed but there is NO WAY you can come close to this without latent couples unless you find an image that is already close to it

[grizzled sage]

i mean yeah, you used it all wrong, but okay. nice bad result you got

you're clearly not proficient

[stark vine]

If anyone has doubt I'll drop TuT. Ive been experimenting with it and when used right it cannot be matched

[stark vine]

R0fl? I'd like to see your lesbian kiss

Also, it is a good bootstrapper, it's not a one-click miracle generation button

[grizzled sage]

Really wish you would stop confidently declaring your lack of fine tuning in good results as a judgement on the sector. we have new users here and you're kicking down sand castles and saying "hah! they're made with SAND!"

[stark vine]

With some inpainting here and there you pretty much get nothing else equal

[stark vine]

Cant remember last time I did tht

[grizzled sage]

just now. you like "look at this low skilled result!" and declared Ultimate to be bad cause of it

but nah u jus keep shitting on ppls work and have nothing to show for urself kidd

[grizzled sage]

well i mean, it's manufactured selection bias

[stark vine]

the work I do is for the community

what yall pussies do is work for urselves stop lyin

[grizzled sage]

dude it's saturday. i got company over is why i didn't want porn on my screen. that shouldn't be hard to expect from a server that limits this stuff

coming in here like "look at my bad pornographY" like okay.. nice

thanks for sharing . glad you're having a good time

[smoky oak]

You said it better than I could honestly. I think its better to not interact with trolls/people with bad takes, and instead spend that time proving them wrong. Safe to say I think I have cemented myself in this community as a pretty reliable source of information. Or at least somebody that backs their claims with facts and proof, rather than hollow claims 😅

@grizzled sageOh, I have several new examples of what my upscaler can do actually. Would you be interested in looking at my early work on the guide? I am open to feedback

[grizzled sage]

would but as i was sayin before i got guests over an i'm tied up currently. will check out in the morning probably

[regal niche]

nice job

[smoky oak]

I know this has absolutely nothing to do with any of you guys, but I just wanted to come here and say something that I was really happy about today.

I'm still a very childish individual, and I still love doing things like Easter egg hunts, and trick or treating, but I haven't really been able to for the last few years because of family, health, and world situations.

For the first time in 6 years, the bigger side of my family is hosting their yearly mega Easter egg hunt, but because I'm 19, I won't be able to participate. They didn't really say that I couldn't, but I know that there are so many little kids, that I absolutely would not want to take away those core memories from them

So fast forward to today, my family has us drive all the way over to their house, playing it up is just a visit since we haven't seen them in a long time. My aunt and I went out to grab food, and when I came back I found that they had done an entire Easter egg hunt just for me

I know it's not that big of a deal, but the last Easter egg hunt I was going to have ended up falling through because my father passed away just a few days prior.

It was nice to be able to spend that quality time with loved ones that I still have

I just felt like sharing something that was very positive for me, because most people tend to only share the bad

[flat pike]

happy eastern @ all

[static tusk]

Happy Easter. Great to hear you had a good one

[smoky oak]

thank youuuu :>

I may not be religious, but I am still here for the fun haha

we have our full Easter party tomorrow. Can't wait to see all the little kids have their core memories unlocked lol

I know I still remember doing Easter egg hunts at my Abuela's house when I was like... 6 lol

[safe cipher]

It's great that you had an awesome day

[smoky oak]

With all the medical issues I have had and misfortune my family has been through, its not often that we have such pleasant days, so I have been making it a point to appreciate these days

[safe cipher]

I'm new using Stable Diffusion. I've been testing Mistoon_Anime Civitai Model. I would like to have some advices in order to learn how to make difficult body poses like yoga, breakdance and such (I'm already using Control net but it's not enough to make good postures). I was thinking to learn how to train a model with that kind of postures...

Scary site, it want to see "text and image" in your clip buffer, never allow that and sites should not ask for that, if they need something from the buffer a human shall cut and paste it normally. that is my opinion. It is okay to use that site, but just be aware that they try to harvest information that may be personal by allowing them access to that.

@stark vine
From article I posted

[stark vine]

So I was right. lol.

DDIM is overhyped imo

[wispy nest]

yea it's not great, but it's good to do test runs

just a quick testing thing

UniPC based on article should converge at low steps, but can't really do test runs with it, cause it's completely different from other samplers

[woven dawn]

I'll but in and say that my best results with unipc are at/around 50 steps.

[static tusk]

the times above are for a single image, but when you batch 2M karras and Euler A, they are nearly the same. 2M Karras being slightly faster

[wispy nest]

yea it's single image at same amount of steps I believe

Riffusion question: anyone found a reliable way to increase the length of the generated clip without repeating or just stretching the output? Changing the width of the generated spectrogram to a number higher than 512 can work, but it's very hit and miss and high values just result in one constant long sound for the entire clip

[gritty cedar]

how can I make textures of any kind that look more like the left than right image

[wispy nest]

have you tried something like "square texture sample"?

model will make a big difference in the output, but i imagine it would work pretty well

[ripe cedar]

Anyone here use blender as well? I was thinking of using rigged 3D characters in 3d scenes and just pose them as needed and send it to img2img

That in theory would give it consistency while taking advantage of SD to give it a different look according to the model used. With low denoise

[wispy nest]

that's essentially the point of controlnet, if you haven't tried that yet

might be easier to stick with blender if you already know that though

[ripe cedar]

I've tried ControlNet and it's great. But it's harder to have consistent images from frame to frame. For comic books for example. Also, the background and character together isn't as easy to use compared to just background vs character seperate

I use a blender ControlNet rig too which exports depth hands, canny, and openpose

Just trying lots of different things. I ask because my brother is sick so I can't go to my own room to use my own PC

[gritty cedar]

i just tried around 10 prompts with 2.1

nothing super fancy

[wispy nest]

i didn't check to begin with, but do you have tiling enabled?

kind of assumed you would

[gritty cedar]

i tried some with and some without

tiling on while important, was making them way worse

but could have just been bad luck

[ripe cedar]

For example, I can use the screenshot from 3d, but I can also generate high quality line-art for use in SD. But with character+background, it is hard to think what kind of workflow and model(s) to use. I could generate background and character separately or both in the same image, change line thickness and even weight, straight img-img, or only some as reneged within blender while some just use line, etc. So many options.

[wispy nest]

what model are you using?

[gritty cedar]

2.1

[wispy nest]

ah...

might want to try 2.1 channel...but i stopped using that a while back because of it not working well -_-

[gritty cedar]

problem with SD's future is the question of local models vs cloud hosted

small model size or pay a bit

in memory compute sounding real attractive rn

[wispy nest]

honestly it may be easier to generate a floor tile or something? i've never tried doing this before, but i've tried a half dozen models and they don't respond well to what i would expect

i'm sure there's a magic word that makes the prompt work though

[wispy nest]

after messing with it for a bit, i think controlnet may be your best bet rather than just straight prompting it. depthmap will work pretty well

[gritty cedar]

yeah depthmap with a uniform depth is big brain

noice !

at least their consumer service is quite good usually

[dry crow]

Yea directly messaged support and got my money back

But no 1tb micro sd card for me :/

[grizzled sage]

not so much delivery but more with product support down the road.

[glossy herald]

do any of you got a good recommendation for a XBOX like controler for PC?
I always uses the official ones, but they are so damn pricy, and never survive more than 3 months before drift starts to happen on at least a joystick

[grizzled sage]

the one i want is the king kong by gulikit. has hall effect joysticks

[glossy herald]

effects joysticks ?

what do you mean ?

it seems like the regular shape, nice

and special no drift ?

wow

[grizzled sage]

https://www.gulikit.com/productinfo/737791.html this bad boy.

Hall effect joysticks. They aren't pentometers. they use magnetic fields instead of mechanics

[glossy herald]

ho yeah

[grizzled sage]

i want them for my steamdeck. gulikit makes a kit too

[glossy herald]

so if a little dirt goes inside, they don't break for good ?

[grizzled sage]

100%

[glossy herald]

ok then

for just 10 more than an official one, I'll try that

[grizzled sage]

just like the dreamcast joysticks. rip

gyro too

[dry crow]

Same xD

[glossy herald]

I just hate it, I got a mountain of old controlers here (3) from the last year

[grizzled sage]

i do love controller collecting

[glossy herald]

I don't rage that much I promise

[dry crow]

I customized me an Xbox controller in the design lab and have no problems so far

[grizzled sage]

deck's pentometers are a-okay so far though. once they piss me off tho

i've done the research. ihave the technology

[glossy herald]

:p

[dry crow]

Bought an 1tb ssd 2230 for my Steamdeck cant wait for next weeks upgrade

[grizzled sage]

oh fun! i got a couple 256 cards is all. and a512 model.

[glossy herald]

I don't have any problem with xbox controler either, until I have and my camera just starts moving off, or my character decides stepping into the pit on his own is a good idea
god did I hate that drift on crash bandicoot 4 xD

[grizzled sage]

haven't cracked mine yet

[grizzled sage]

Yeh!! the xbone controllers are solid, until they aren't anymore lol

[dry crow]

I need to, because i got the loud fan, so that get a replace too.
Then i also ordered an atomic purple backplate

[grizzled sage]

True story. i do love the history of controllers, and the guy who designed the sweet xbox 360 controller from carbon design, designed the steamdeck

[dry crow]

I have some cheap Xbox controler with cable from PDP.
They all work well. Transparent RGB design

They have also a lot more controlers, cheaper than original. But they are certified.

[glossy herald]

ordered

[dry crow]

But yea the gulkit one looks promising. Also gyro and you can recharge it, xbox still ships the battery version

[dry crow]

Let us know how it is 🙂

[glossy herald]

Should be here tomorrow 🔥

(amazon)

[dry crow]

Ahh

[glossy herald]

"should"

may be an empty package

[dry crow]

The empty box yes 😉

[grizzled sage]

jealous. i haven't justified buying one yet. bought a car , a deck, and a gpu, need a bed next. want an ada titan... ugh. king kong 2, where are you?

steam input makes gyro so much more powerful. using it as a mouse is nice once you're used to it

[dry crow]

I love the trackpads for that, thats a feature no asus allay can compete with

But yea gyro as input and trackpad is next level aiming

[grizzled sage]

yeah i do love trackpad gyro activations

gross mouse movements with the gyro and fining it in with the pad. long time SController user

its okay with joysticks too. you can activate it on a hair trigger soft pull, and pull deeper to click

[sudden lava]

GM all

[glossy herald]

I was about to pull the trigger (bad pun) on an official one once again, so yeah, it was easy to convince me with anti drift technology since it's my main problem with it ^^

[grizzled sage]

guli are really the only guys trying. Valve so they say, and its better. the configurbility is there. but its also attached to a mini linux pc

you can get gulikits for ds4 controllers and swittch cons too if i'm not mistaken

[glossy herald]

what are you gaming on those days?

I mainly do hitman recently. I'm loving the new Freelancer mode

[grizzled sage]

as much as i try to dive into fantastic 3d worlds, i keep coming back to one in particular lately. a complex 2d base simulator named oxygen not included

i got a wide bredth of games i play. and many i just own and have never played

[glossy herald]

I loved oxygen not included

this complex bubble of entropy was hard as hell but very fun

[grizzled sage]

i think my gaudy steam profile is on my discord

[glossy herald]

I didn't dive into the extensions

[grizzled sage]

its so hard as hell! i've only taken a base to full tech a few times

[glossy herald]

very interesting though, not a lot of simulators go this way

[grizzled sage]

they keep updating it with more and i can never learn all the systems lol

i love how all the automata interconnects

[glossy herald]

my all time favorite is factorio

satisfactory not far behind though

[grizzled sage]

i do tyr to not play factorio much. if i just for a min it it turns into hours

[glossy herald]

yeah

it's the problem there

[grizzled sage]

same. and i've built a couple dyson spheres as well

[glossy herald]

time dilates while playing factorio

yep, dyson was cool as hell, I'm waiting for the final release before I play it again

[grizzled sage]

these are the features on my profile. timberborn made it on there for some reason..

[glossy herald]

I should remove isaac from up there, I don't play it anymore

[grizzled sage]

i played some isaac but never really got far in

[glossy herald]

I completed it some extensions ago

but yeah, so many stuff and random bull

[open sun]

😢

[grizzled sage]

still love my switch too. when that one game from nintendo comes out now and then. metroid dread really pulled me in

where is it better to use stable diffusion, in google colab, download and install it or where do you recommend?

[grizzled sage]

if you've got the hardware for it, run local. if not, collab is the best way to learn until you can buy your own local hardware

hopefully you made a backup of the old file

[stoic pivot]

I seen so many new user pushing for unprompt[dot]ai, I start to think those are advert bots for that site, and when I did go there to look the site try to get access to Windows clip-buffer, the site is just many images randomly picked images that often repeat. So it not a good site and why do we need a site for random aI images when we can make random AI images.

Are sites like that something folk use or is it some that seen a video "How to get rich with AI", then made a site that do not get any traffic so he use chat GPT to make a bot create accounts and made post mentioning that site? Or do I need to work on my conspiracy theory?

[smoky oak]

@dense tapir did you see the 4070 price leaks? I am done with Nvidia. They are a trash company for gouging people so bad.

I'd like to say that I don't see many people buying a $1000 mid-range graphics card, but I honestly can't say that anymore

[grizzled sage]

funny. i reshaped my 5 year budget to include premium PC components, so i finally switched to nvidia because i was sick of amd's shit. Plus their prices aren't too peachy either. least for me. 200% over msrp in most stores. the budget value is just no longer there

7000s were a paper launch up here too

[dense tapir]

I agree 100%

599 MSRP is ludicrous and it comes out on Thur

[remote olive]

where ai art

i need it

[dense tapir]

what is even worse is the cards coming with 8gb when games already need 9gb at medium settings (Hogwarts) with RT. @smoky oak

[remote olive]

X

[smoky oak]

Have you seen the AIB cards? There are early leaks from Asus and Zotac in the $850-950 range for a 4070

[smoky oak]

Exactly, there are plenty of games that can already leverage or out pace that level of VRAM

[dense tapir]

They will settle back, but the pricing is just not for me as I can't justify it for any of the cards. Others may as it is their money but for me I can't.

At least I looked and my case can fit a 4090 with 1inch to spare, or slightly more depending how close I wish to get to the drives.

The problem is the AIB models my case would probably not handle them as they are too long

I see some Zotac cards are 17 and 17.5 inches long. What the fuck case holds that?

[smoky oak]

I'm just going to keep on holding on to the frankly naive hope that AMD or Intel release some form of hardware/software that makes AI usable on their platforms

[dense tapir]

Well, they are now training loras on AMD at least but rocm is AMD and they said it will never be for windows

[quasi token]

Girl

[dense tapir]

I go to MSI, for instance, to the 4090 and look and not one mention of its dimensions

[coarse pendant]

The American flag though

[smoky oak]

I personally wouldn't own anything from MSI ever again

[dense tapir]

Same with me and Gigabyte

[dense tapir]

They don't want people to know the dimensions of these cards

people buy it then find out their huge case isn't huge enough

there we go I had to find another page with the info

337 x 140 x 77 mm

that is so damn long

[smoky oak]

I also just had a realization recently that it makes more sense for me to built a whole separate Desktop and laptop rather than have a laptop with an external GPU which is what I prefer way more

[dense tapir]

no way to stuff that in there as she said before the bedpost broke

well, FE is alright size wise but the AIBs are so long because they scrimped out on the heatsink and replaced them with fans

[smoky oak]

Also, when I do finally get to upgrade to a laptop like I have been desperate for for a while now, I'm gonna be forced to go NVIIDA again

[dense tapir]

337mm would be smashing into my SSD

my hdd cage. Just too long

I see that originally it was to be 304mm so 33mm longer

I honestly do not understand what they feel the market is out here with consumers and case sizes. I mean I have a big case and most people have nothing this size. smh

[quasi token]

#🏞｜general-with-images girl

[dense tapir]

@smoky oak

They literally can't go any longer for next gen.

non of these cards would fit a mid tower

[grizzled sage]

just the cage? tin snips work

i had to pull the big mounting bracket my case had for gpus to fit the 4080.

had to drill out one of the rivits

[river mauve]

which model can create this style of american drawing thanks

[dense tapir]

NO, my drive it would be hitting so not just the cage

[dense tapir]

Well, found out my 1060 is dying, or at least the second set of fans I purchased are. Seems to have a problem starting up with the machine so I hear a tap tap and felt them and sure enough that is where the tap tap sound was coming from. They do not have any other issues but this is the first sign.

[smoky oak]

Oh, how weird, hmm...

[dense tapir]

SD to blame as it revs up the fans so they work 100%

figured this would happen and eventually one will die completely.

Bad thing about gpus are their fans as they are high speed and too slim so die right around upgrade time.

https://www.newegg.com/p/3D5-000F-02ED9

[glacial moth]

Does the dream studio API have built in safety features? In other words, if user input will make it's way into prompts, do I have to write a safety layer before it hits this API?

[glacial moth]

Looking at this one https://platform.openai.com/docs/guides/moderation/quickstart

[dense tapir]

15-20 bucks to replace the fans but I already replaced them once and this wouldn't even be an issue as this is when my cycle of gpu upgrade hit but Nvidia threw a spanner in the works with that. In 100% honesty if SD had not happened I think one thing and know the second if I am wrong on the first. First is Nvidia would not be charging nearly as much from the vibes I get from Jensen AND if they still charged as much as they do currently with SD never having been around I would have already went AMD. Outside this I really have little use for CUDA and AMD is fine otherwise. Thing is for rendering out video amazingly content creators are buying Intel because they are just as good at it as Nvidia for 300 bucks. I know this I will be trying the ghetto mod on this card to see if I had pressure 120mm fans.

[crisp loom]

Took me 1000 pictures to get this. What do you guys think?

[static tusk]

If you use controlnet you can do stuff like this, I used openpose for the girl and depth for the car #1072010753462251521 message

[crisp loom]

That's amazing @static tusk Do you have any tutorials to do something like that? I'm not sure I can get the prompts right.

[static tusk]

no tutorials done, sorry

but there are YT videos explaining the process

[crisp loom]

That sounds perfect, and to get the hands right. I'm guessing control net and using a pose application in blender could make things easier?

[static tusk]

controlnet has hands depth models available

[crisp loom]

Really? 😮 so its all based on controlnet?

[static tusk]

basically yeah

[crisp loom]

I'll look up openpose

Thanks so much ❤️

Is all this stuff free?

[static tusk]

sure is

[crisp loom]

outpaint and inpaint I get confused about lmao

[static tusk]

plenty of YT vids on those too

[crisp loom]

Openpose looks so simple honestly 😮

Which one fixes hands controlnet im guessing?

[static tusk]

this shows what to do https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EwWkLMhR23I

[vale hollow]

hi , can anyone show me how to use multiple control-nets as hand most like pattern . I tried with size 512x512 using open pose and depth method but the hand result is always different from sample.

please help me

[glossy herald]

Hey !

you are using almost the good method already in fact

the problems you are seeing are mostly because of the resolution of your picture

would the controlnet be bigger, or the total picture be on more than 512, or just if you zoomed more on the character, the AI would be able to do the hands as you asked them.

[vale hollow]

thanks i will check

[ripe cedar]

I had a similar problem, and I think I'm using the same ControlNet models (blender too). I always thought 512x512 was ideal for the initial image generation?

So I should do the same thing but use 768x768/1024 instead as the initial size, then upscale from there?

I understand that ControlNet can make larger initial size images without making multiple characters.

[glossy herald]

512x512 WAS the optimal for 1.5 yes.
But using controlnet, the model is able to output good results without so much care as before when you up the size : controlnet helps prevent the duplication. So going higher res will give more pixels to work with and help on those details.
Be careful of only 1 thing : each controlnet on top of your image means slower generations and more VRAM, but even just 1 controlnet in a big size picture is a game changer

in this particular case, going "full body shot" in 512x512 and hoping to get perfect hands is too much yes

if we had gone half body shot with just the upper side of the picture, and a focus on hands and face, it would have gone better (staying in 512x512)

[ripe cedar]

I see, thanks! Eager to try, but I can't yet cuz my brother is in quarantine in my room with my desktop 😔

I should still be using standard sizes like 1024 and 2048, right?

Also, if I want to make multiple characters interact, is there a workflow I can look up? For example, if I wanted to make a character hold another one by the collar and make the cloth wrinkles while partially obscuring the hands because of the cloth, there must be some way.

[glossy herald]

sizes you choose really depend on your hardware and the target you are aiming for
I love to do 960x540 because it upscales in 1920x1080 quite easily and stays around 5M pixels, so it gets done quite fast. The higher the pixel count, the more VRAM it takes and can slow down more too. so to be tested for your VRAM

about the multiple character things, I think just openpose once again should suffice, but I'll try right now

[ripe cedar]

Ah that makes sense. Mine is a 3060 12gb, I think it can handle 960x540. I wanna try making comics with AI, but I haven't seen any physically good character interaction yet, or dynamic interactions either.

[glossy herald]

ok so basic test

using this picture on the net to make an openpose :

it gives me this squeleton

and using a very basic prompt, "two person fighting"

by the way, here is a very strong (but harder to use) openpose editor https://zhuyu1997.github.io/open-pose-editor/

[ripe cedar]

The first image looks really good!

https://toyxyz.gumroad.com/l/ciojz I use this openpose editor, it exports other models too

[glossy herald]

it's a good one yep

I use either the openpose editor extension, or the site I linked, but mostly I try to find good source on internet for the pose I aim for, and preprocess them

[ripe cedar]

Do you know if it's better to use blender to render the background and 3d character and use the rendered image to make the characters+background with a style change in img2img with low denoise?

Or, it might be better to use a variety of ControlNets to generate images (from detailed line-art that I can generate in 3d programs from the 3d objects)?

[glossy herald]

to make a comic book style, right ?

[ripe cedar]

I think img2img could be more consistent but ControlNet will keep the coherency (but lose on color consistency)

Yes comic book style

I think I'll just have to experiment

For example I made this all in 3d. A rigged character in t pose, in a 3d background (this is without textures, only generated line art from the 3d).

[glossy herald]

I know people are quite divided on this.
Personally I don't like blender because I never really learned how to use it well, and I loose too much time in it. Paint3D is better for my personal uses for example.
But I know others will say it's just the best all around to prepare your scenes

I worked on the comic book workflow with some users in the past, here were my tips

first, you'll need to prepare your story board, the descriptions of the main characters, the places, ... prepare your world in your head and on paper somewhere a little, don't just go blind (or go blind but it's a nice step to do first)

Then, cut your script into scenes, and do a quick list of the squares you are aiming for.
Usually, you end up with a few backgrounds only per scene, and a list of characters that should stay the same
Here is the main part of that exercice : you need the characters to not change every frame. So using a LoRA is almost essential here, at least in a second img2img pass if you don't want to bother at first.

As for the scene composition like you were saying, I prefere to use openpose+LoRA to make just the characters, integrate them in the scene mid generation, and finish generating the full scene then with everyone, it's the best end quality usually

[smoky oak]

I personally would rather do several small res gens to then pick from to upscale rather than one bling high res gen
