can someone do the vatican mascot?
Grabby 
is there any extension to get random prompts from like danbooru while keeping the character? like a random background + pose + artist generator or something like that
You can look into wildcards
Nice colors. I like the more muted matte looks.
Thanks, I have been having fun playing around with noobai
Is there a consensus yet as to which is the best illustrious XL derived model?
probably noobai
noobai
that's a lot of shine
hmm ok ty
A wolf going clubbing
wdym try it?
the metadata all still on file
"1girl, nepgear, nepgyaa, neptune (series), <o> <o>, nervous sweating
and then "worst quality, bad anatomy, bad hands, lowres, text, artist name, signature, jpeg artifacts, simple background, white background, abstract" for negative
hmmm originally i was trying to get the actual nepgya look but
white pupils didn't really help it much xD
i still have no idea what i was trying with my most recent gen lol
cute teto
blue
Brown 
best color for smol 
i prefer purple
purple is cute also

@green temple
big blue 
evil 
she is cute
the big blue cartel 
she didnt have anything blue, so I lent her my hoodie 😄
ironically I used to have a hoodie that color, but my niece stole it.. it was so big on her she kept tripping on it 😄
loool kids can't resist grabbing anything on sight
I ended up giving her a bunch of my old shirts for sleeping in, I'm 6'4 so my shirts were like ankle length dresses for her 😄

@jagged field if ur still playing around with mochi, comfy updated a lot of stuff with it so u might wanna git pull + check out new video example, might be updated workflow https://comfyanonymous.github.io/ComfyUI_examples/mochi/
oh
I am really starting to like noobai
takes a while to know which artist tags work best though
(also I may have attempted too many times doing gens without artist tags..)
its a cool model, im not a big fan of having to use artist tags for stuff 
yeah it does kill a little the freedom for prompts 
I tried a few without artists and things were... 
Ironically one gen I did without artists did look cool
but it didn't resemble a human so.. 
I spent some time yesterday figuring out some artist tags for noobai that I like, but it would still take a bit of prompt tuning to get it as good as my current gens
pretty much got to the point where it's not worth the effort, it knows some concepts missing from pony but it also loses a lot (especially nsfw concepts)
if you want to gen specific anime characters it's a lot better at that
true, depends on what you want to trade off for
i like to make it more simple
like
artist tags,
then space
(masterpiece), (best quality), (ultra-detailed), beautiful color,
space again
then normal prompts
yuh, I'm slowly getting the idea behind on how to prompt it better
and easy example of mine is like this
artist: okpriko,
4k, (high detailed skin), (masterpiece), (best quality), (ultra-detailed), beautiful color, amazing quality, very aesthetic, illustration, absurdres, newest,
dynamic pose, perspective,solo, dark-skinned female, dark skin, 1girl, scheherazade (fate), fate (series), long hair, breasts, black hair, thighhighs,
niiice
oh it's pretty much how I been prompting, well sorta because I keep experimenting (no matter how bad the idea is lol)
oh right
if anyone needs it this is the doc with the 1000 artist styles that noobai uses (examples are nsfw) https://docs.qq.com/sheet/DZGxRSXhvcmNmeHFv?tab=9v7zie
oh ty
shit the examples 🌚
🥲

noob has a lot more than 1000 artists. that would only reach down to artists with ~650 posts on danbooru alone and it can do artists with ~100, sometimes less. then there's artists from e621 as well.
danbooru artists alone is ~18k artists that it should do reasonably well
i have no idea what the e621 artist selection looks like, but i would assume it's somewhat similar, though probably less accurate than the dan artists since illustrious didn't have any of the e621 training and illustrious already did most of what noob can from danbooru, just not quite as cleanly
Yeah my bad I found a way better list here
the examples are safe for work this time
nice 
do you know why its divided in two? like 例图(无furry负面) and 例图(有furry负面)
I'm wondering the same thing, not really sure why that doc divided it
but honestly you might as well just use this one instead
if you are looking for artists specifically, they got examples there too
Thank you so much the issue is that those other fp8 workflows are very slow on my H100
It takes less vram yes but turns out to be slower i can generate up to 121 frames in 270 seconds but i get this error that's out of vram but the video generates and everything is good
I can run 2x H100 together but I don't know how to connect them together with 1 Moochi is it like i'm gonna load the VAE and text encoders to a GPU and the other will have the model ? or how's the setup gonna look like
steals it
No smol examples 
Bad 
You were gone for so long 
Smol

My laptop charger broke, was fritzing out and glowing red with smoke
need more

Hello Guys
I need help running Moochi with multiple gpu's on ComfyUI please 


Can someone come play with me a little bit ? I'm trying to play with some models on comfy
cute :3
I stole her ice cream, lick 
Hey everyone! Lemme ask something: what (locally-runnable or free) model would you guys recommend for Anime, but that can do more composed scenes and a variety of characters (men, adult-looking women) decently instead of just being amazing at cute girls with simple backgrounds and nothing else?
give us a sample of the kind of prompt you want and I'll do some stuff to see if that's what you are looking for. Also give us your system specs so we know what kind of parameters we are working with. Should we prioritize quality or speed?
Okay so going into some detail:
I use generative AI mostly for TTRPG characters as I run a lot of games. This time I'm doing one that's very anime-inspired (especially on Solo Leveling) so I'd like something that looks a bit more anime.
I tried PonyXL and some variants, but it was really bad at anything that's not a cute anime girl, and the art style always blends some western in. It also straight up didn't understand most fantasy concepts (even the ones that have booru tags), and was quite bad at backgrounds.
The closest I got to in terms of the compositions I want was actually Bing's version of Dall-e 3. I could tell it to make a character casting a spell, or shooting lightning, or holding a spear, and it would understand. However, it sucks at anatomy, faces and textures, it's heavily censored (even for non-porn), and doesn't have tools for hi-res, inpainting, etc.
For example I made this with Bing
solo leveling anime style, solo leveling, manhwa, drawing, a beautiful mature woman with dark skin, brown skin, tall, fighter, burly, romanian, green eyes, short hair, uneven straight bair, black hair, necklace, earrings, pants, black t-shirt, green jacket, fur-trimmed coat, smug smile, confident, crossed arms, sunglasses on head, explosion magic, explosions, fire, explosion background, city, night, beautiful detailed eyes, full body
Great composition but the face and textures are kinda weird and low-res
I have an RTX 3060 with 12GB VRAM, and definitely prioritize quality over speed
let me tweak some things and I'll see what I can do.
Thanks a lot for your time!
just for fun, generated in 0.6 seconds with flux schnell (living up to its name). not as detailed but not half bad
same prompt with flux pro, more than 10x slower, noticeably better but 10x so? hmmm
Just so you know I'm still working on this I'm just trying out a bunch of different things to try to find something that I think will resonate with you and produces consistent results.
Glad to see that people are still chugging away
I'm still using my old laptop specs (new charger) but I'm getting far better results with Forge and a larger model
Still doing some funky merger experiments
But at a higher scale than before
Gonna save up for a dedicated system

No hurries, and thanks for all the help! I'd test all this stuff myself but I'm not even 100% sure where to look, and it would probably take ages with my PC :x
Oh btw
Never thought about this before
But since I do have a very crazy setup with lots of custom fiddling and experimental gen
I wouldn't mind doing some prompts for you guys
Cat bot?
Yes
Oh lmao
The user yeah
Hey man
Sorry I haven't been active
Laptop died for like a month
Feels like you have been gone for more than that
Were you doing other things than talking here
I do a lot of things, always busy. Work, game development, moving houses and now living by myself
It's been a crazy time for the last few months ngl
I do miss my homies here ngl
Nice to see a friendly face
Honestly depends
depends
What system are you using?
what do you mean what system
The specs determines what you can generate, and what you can't
Sounds good
Windows?
Better then me just a
all day long
What kind of GPU?
NGL been kinda down lately
Ryzen 9 8000 series Ge Force rtx 4070
I'm gonna go on a limb and say that if you can't generate art, you're doing something wrong
One piece of info that might be relevant is that because it's for TTRPG illustrations and I'm gonna have a single image for each character, character consistency between different images is not a big priority. I'm more focused on getting a single really good one for each
Btw I use SD for a lot of my TTRPG stuff as well
Pleasure to meet you
Atm I'm generating images for cards for use in Tabletop Simulator
Same! I think it's one of the coolest personal uses for AI art, my players really love it
Look up on Google how to install forge stable diffusion
There should be some easy tutorials
okey
I highly recommend Forge, it's what I'm using
Made my life easier
I still to this day have not used Comfy
comfy is pretty nice
I can't go back now
but I do want to try that inpainting one
Comfy only really useful if you want to experiment with weird things
Not much difference on text to image
https://github.com/invoke-ai/InvokeAI/releases/tag/v5.0.0 looks cool as hell
I believe that with my field of expertise Comfy makes the perfect sense for me to use but I just never took that leap
If it ain't broke, why fix it?
Sounds like me
for that guy who's brand new, he should not use comfy
Yeah no
I'm a software dev and I still find comfy kinda confusing ngl 😵💫
it's messy
I love writing shaders and using nodegraph and lots of stuff like that
What's so different about it
And still never touched it
it's designed for iterative inpaints
check our their youtube vids
Ugh
I honestly wish I could just kinda write could using various building blocks
(not in python)
I really hate clicking on anything AI videos
Incognito we go
I'm too dumb for that 
I just click generate 
yeah it seems more like an art workflow
kinda like a basic photoshop where the only tool is layers and generate
I'm so lazy
Just so you know this is what I'm currently trying to get work.
I'm trying to merge this
https://huggingface.co/sd-dreambooth-library/solo-levelling-art-style
with this
https://civitai.com/models/904111/sd-35-large-modern-anime
for a second I thought this was on the wrong server
really impressed with these couch textures
lol
I... Am too
Grabs
looks really soft
Big 
and comfy
Lmao the dog on the painting
haha yeah
Oooh, that's nice! I barely know how merges work (technically), but that seems like a lotta work so thanks again!
In case it doesn't work perfectly, I'd say getting anime style good compositions with magic and stuff and being able to actually do not-teenage-girl characters well is definitely more important to me than looking exactly like Solo Leveling
it's really not but it's just taking some time to download the models. waiting for downloads
if you're doing this for ttrpg you'll probably also want to create lora's for the mc's in your game.
That would be cool, how hard is it to do that?
I know what a Lora is and have used some but no idea how they're made
I've only created flux based loras thus far but I'm sure there is tons of documentation out there for sd based models. And it's done downloading now I'm off to go try this out and see what it produces.

@modest fog How have you been lately anyway?
What server? Lmao! Actually, forget I asked
Let's just imagine if lewds was a server owner
Very 
Reminds me actually, been getting some really interesting realistic gens. Not sure if it belongs in this channel exactly but it's something worthy to note
About to arrive home one sec
ok... the hair went wonky
This gen freaked me out a little bit, wasn't what I was expecting
Was expecting something a bit more... anime
Considering the model
Forgot to share these ones earlier
still working on it but here's the first attempt.... I gotta long way to go but I think the style is kind of there... sorry I haven't ever worked with the straight sd models before so I don't really know how to prompt them.
Damn I really like the style and the details on the clothes and flames
And isn't SD 3.5 super new? I think very few people know how to prompt it xD
Yeah I scratched the 3.5 and went back to a 1.5 model
okay the hands are trash but let me put this together in a workflow for you. DM me so I don't clutter up the chat.
I'm divided on whether this is cute or creepy
the answer is... yes
Lol
Strange enough, I can't replicate that realistic look from the earlier gen... I'm just getting anime now
Ruined a great gen...
nah.. they are an ailen
Parasyte the Maxim?
Btw check this cool thing
I like the look of this
I’m even scared to imagine why she needs such a big carrot! Jack I would be afraid of her! 🤣
i've had some luck just combining terms with some models/poses, like from side behind if you wanted slightly turned away from viewer, or from side, facing viewer for front facing, it always takes playing with the weights a little
it happens a lot, sometimes there just isnt a token for what you want
Tried fixing it
hi 
Do you use Comfyui ?
i use illustriousXL_v01
ty
Grabby 

wut 
don't stare at me
k sry
Very big 
no she is smoli as @modest fog said 
Points to smol
can someone help me with comfyui maybe some ideas ?
technically I'm using comfy, but only as a backend because nodes are dumb 😄
Okay i can install forge
if you're going to install something new, i'd suggest swarmui
it uses comfy as a backend so you can still use nodes if you need/want but has a better frontend for easier general use
what do you need help with?
i was using a1111
then forge
i didnt need to delete a1111
when reimu steals your broom but you have places to be:
if you have questions about comfy you can ask me, it's what I use. @vital raptor nodes aren't dumb 😜 they allow you to test and create weird workflows and allow you to interact with your models in ways that can fit whatever use case you have. You might want to create your own applications that can do whatever you want and exactly how you want them to work. Example: I don't think I could have gotten mochi to work on my 4080 if I was using swarm or forge. Someone needs to create the workflows that allows for the frontends to do these kind of things right?
thats a big part of why i use swarmui, it has a simple UI for generating images, but if i want to experiment with things then i can use the nodes
so you aren't saying don't learn comfy, just don't use it exclusively? Use swarm when you get workflows you like rather then sit on the comfyui 'backend' to gen your images and stuff... I think that's what you're saying correct me if I'm misinterpretting since I don't know any better.
i'm not saying either way really, if you want to use comfy then go for it. I don't think comfy is good for beginners or for non-technical people, but they can use whatever they want
I guess let me clarify since I'm unfamiliar with swarm or forge and haven't taken the time to install them or test the use interfaces, is that how you use swarm? I'm curious cause I want to understand how other people work in this space.
swarm was made to be a user friendly front-end (the web interface) and it can use multiple things for the actual image processing, comfy, a1111/forge, novelAI, other web services apis, etc
by default it uses comfy in the background to generate the images, but without having to actually change nodes around, it has usable menus and buttons
but, it also allows you to use the normal comfy interface and play with nodes if you want to
thanks that helps me a bit... I think we're saying the same thing.
Swarm builds a comfy workflow automatically for you with the vast majority of features that most people use. If it can't do something you want natively then it also has a comfyui tab that is literally just comfyui with full functionality including custom nodes.
forge is a fork of automatic 1111, both are much more user friendly, but have their own issues, generally speaking comfy (and therefor swarm) has better performance and compatability
Thanks @supple raptor and @vital raptor this was very helpful. 🫂
the biggest upside to comfy is that when a new model type comes out, like SD3.5 or Flux, it's as simple as making a node or 2 that supports the new code, and it's available same day, swarm generally benefits from this as well, a1111/forge sometimes take weeks to get updated for new things
Swarm's built-in image, model, LoRA, etc browsers are also excellent. Far better than the equivalent experiences on Forge/A1111
i like the inpainting better in swarm as well, the learning curve is a bit higher, but it ends up being better overall (though could be better)
Forge/A1111 LoRA browsers fall apart if you have more than like a dozen loras
and, on a personal level, I like swarm more because the developer actually listens to feedback and allows people to suggest ideas/features. I've had issues with comfy's dev and a1111 might as well be talking to a wall
but swarm has not only implemented things I've suggested but I've done some of the code myself because the dev takes the time to actually look at it
Yeah, I don't think there's a dev in the gen-ai space that's more responsive or open to feedback than mcmonkey.
and without the elitist arrogance that some have...
I've seen him patch niche problems that 1 person reported and add features that someone requested within literal minutes of getting the report/request on multiple occasions
Obviously not every response is that quick
speaking of that, looks like he added Mochi text2vid support yesterday
it's been able to run it fo ra while now
but def more stable now
was avail back oct 26th as basic support
oh swarm
my bad
comfy has had support for like 2 weeks already is what i meant then
yeah, and you could use the comfy nodes in swarm too, but native support now
i sleepi now. i should sleep before i misread anymore
Maybe if you have time we can talk
sometimes i want to play a little bit with ComfyUi but i don't have ideas
sure DM me whenever
can you join any vc ?
vc?
I've not heard of swarm before
Here's the whole channel dedicated to it if you're interested 😁 https://discord.com/channels/1002292111942635562/1134546054872842290

i can't catch this pal (species) with this spherical object, wat's going on?
trying🥲
whai illusv0.1?
have u tried the much further finetune (32 epochs more) noobai v1? https://civitai.com/models/833294/noobai-xl-nai-xl
whatever ur trying to pull off should work better in noobai v1 at any rate but u might have to lower the like 1.4 weight
cuz it's a lot more sensitive since it has way moar knowledge
i was trying to edit the images a little bit
delete things
i`ll try it soon 👍
removed entire bottom half of prompt
tho
lol
also
i think the tag is "Alternate" not "Alternative"
😂
u dun wanna do that if u get into noob ai v1
lol
it's way more trained
even more than novelai is xD
niice
but also wut r u trying to do
A fren is asking what’s a good SDXL or Pony model for anime that isn’t relatively difficult to prompt with what’s should the answer be?
heytea outfit?
noobai v1
literally the purpose of model
i was trying to delete somethings from the image
like the butterflies and the hair
Understood, u got a comfyUI workflow for it or know of one he can use?
o
uh
but
if u use this
rename the model to NoobAI or expand the checkpoint
and load it manually
i have like everything collapsed
👍
how dare you
@green temple giant prompts must be giant for the smallest smol
isn't necessary in noob. lol
minimal negative prompts r better in noob too
but anyways aside from noobai's purpose being smoller prompts & easier to use it's literally waaaay more trained than illus on 32 epochs for 12.7m images which i think was more than illus training too
..i heard it cost like over $60k
weebs shur advance ai fast.
also it should be noted you quite literally, for the most part, don't need LORAs for this model, it can do anything with 80+ tags on danbooru (as long as if it's at 80 the posts are quality)
and can do up to... alisa mikhailovna kujou
as for timeline
like mid july
just works
i need to learn how to prompt
wat is "95th masterpiece"
i fucked it
well, the same will be with illus, but you'll usually wanna use characters/artists
i knew something was off
is it the "early access version " ?
i cant read for shi also thank you for that
if u grab a char from the list and like 1-2 artists from artist list
sumthin'll happen
probably.
if ur making oc
u can do that
just use artist
with oc
like mixing hews, club3, i like what that produces often even for ocs
oh i thought i should download another version
oh ok good
brb
thx 👍
i r back
do you have any specific like questions about prompting?
Ugly 
im not the best at it in gen like what do i use to start with and what do i use to end it
1girl/1boy/1other, <character name if defined character>, <copyright if using a character>, <details/artists> is how i do it
so if i wanted to do a original character would i just prompt what i want the character to wear and other stuff?
ye; like the (sort of) custom rukia i made here[since it's a specific form not catalog'd well by danbooru yet], just minus name/series, and it'd be like that
ideally you might still wanna use an artist
model really shines with at least 1 artist named
i see
like this is just desc
but also a couple artist
this is without any artist at all
major quality change
still usable but more flat/not as expressive
this is pretty cool
commence licking... jk
Hdllo
Bloo
how dare you !!! ... jk 
still kicking the tires 😛

ugh ... I can't get decent quality...
They kinda fried the colors on v1 huh
artist tag, good idea
I toned down CFG to get the colors down, and increasing resolution on first pass also helps a lot

smol tea 

did the tea have a fluffy, white, foamy “head”?
tag for the expression ">_<"?
I'm not sure it will work.
it worked for me
might work better with closed eyes and no other tags for eye color or anything
yes
that said, it doesn't work for me with the artist tags i use since they're not as cartoony
chibi artist tags

no was dat
I have an OC that I want to replicate, probably as like a LORA? It's a robot with pretty basic features that need to be replicated exactly every time, but it has different facial expressions. I will probably use it with some sort of anime/comic style model. How would you guys go about making something like that? I do have a dataset of ~10 images. I feel like this channel is most relevant to the style i want so i wanted to ask here
cool
lora is the right choice here. 10 images is a small dataset for a character lora which will make it more challenging, but not impossible. you won't want to use flip augment either since that will result in the handle on the door in it's chest being on random sides and will make the numbers in the side less likely to train correctly. for captions, e621 tags would probably offer the best accuracy. i know the furry crowd has some automatic captioning models that utilize e621 tags, but i don't know what they are off the top of my head. as for models, i'd go with NoobAI since it's the best anime style base model by a pretty wide margin and also happens to already be trained on both danbooru and e621 datasets so it won't have to learn those tags from scratch.
thank you for such a detailed response 😭 Honestly I'm not too picky about wanting the numbers on the sides, so thats okay even if it doesn't work. do you recommend anything i should add to the dataset to make it less challenging? i can quite literally just draw some more. ive done some loras before for like anime characters but they've always had very varying poses and different outfits and this guy's just pretty much the same thing everytime
now that i think of it i'll also have to familiarize myself with how to make loras because i bet the process has changed since I last did stuff like a year ago. I also used colabs but i have a dedicated gpu now so i assume it'll be easier
varying framing and angle of the character and distance from the viewpoint as well as some images with full scenes with other objects would be helpful. it wouldn't hurt to just give it a try with what you have first though as long as you don't have to pay per training run. if the first attempt doesn't come out quite good enough you can consider generating images with it and keeping the very best ones, maybe even touching them up if needed and adding them to the dataset to train a second lora.
idk what the current best notebook is for training on colab, so that will require some research. something based on kohya_ss would probably be the best choice
oh i meant i used to use notebooks but i can run everything locally now
okay thank you
oh cool that makes multiple training runs easier since you don't really have to worry about the time it takes or number of runs
here's the most recommended trainer for local training https://github.com/derrian-distro/LoRA_Easy_Training_Scripts/tree/main
I ordered two M40's for my server.. they're a bit slow compared to the 4090, but 24gb vram each should be good enough for LLMs or slow training 😄
Should be here tuesday, will be fun to play with
have fun!
I'm hoping they'll be at least fast enough to take over the LLM from my 3080TI so I can use that for something else
Hello 
flux fusion with "an anime character design sheet, section 1 is the character name and the key visual, section 2 is design notes, section 3 shows the same character from different angles"

Anyone wanna play with me with ComfyUI a little bit ?

I kind of wish there was a pony type finetune for flux
and regarding GUIs...
pony is broken on so many levels, starting with the magical quality tokens... but yeah, haven't seen a so "specialized" flux yet. pony does it all
assuming "all" is specific anime characters, tentacles, shemales and more 🙂
the hardest part with pony models is figuring out the tags you actually need or dont need, I only use score_9, score_8_up, score_7_up, source_anime, plus a couple artists interpolated, the rest of the prompt is image specific
I don't do specific characters, but the nsfw capabilities are next level when you want them. I mostly gen sfw though
yeah, pony is for k1nky stuff (stupid server censoring bot 🙂 ) and special poses and super specific charaters... anything else manga/anime is fine with flux nowadays
"manga drawing, a fight scene, headline "flux or pony?""
i would use flux more for my sfw stuff, but i couldn't get a style I liked out of it since it seems to basically just do 'generic anime style'
with pony I can mix and match multiple specific artist styles and tune it to the point of having my own style
but it's amazing how well flux does combos 🙂
that's the better language model etc, no chance with pony i think
"manga drawing, 4 panels, the story of a pony converting to flux, panel 1 shows the original pony, panel 2 and 3 show the transformation, and panel 4 is the flux pony spewing electricity and power"
ok, 4 vs 5 panels, but hey... really nice
yeah, the context and comprehension of flux is pretty impressive for sure
i only see panels 1-4 and panel "s" seems fine to me 
yeah, sadly it pretty much does instagram photo with heavy filters, generic anime style, and generic "illustration" style. even things you'd think should work on any base model have nearly no effect like oil painting of..... i've even tried adding descriptions of what oil paintings look like with minimal effect. i was very disappointed in that aspect of the released model. some pre-release versions could at least do stuff like that.
I've debated playing with some custom workflows using flux and pony/noobai to try and get the best from both but I've been lazy

looking at tht github now
just make sure you grab the up to date SwarmUI, not the old StableSwarm repo
