AI Art Thread #39 "Please wait a while before making a thread" edition.
Backends:
>https://github.com/LykosAI/StabilityMatrixThis is more of a one click manager that you can install / run the other backends though. Easiest by far. Recommended to download Forge through it and use its built-in Civitai browser to download models with.
For models not through the in-built downloader just download and drop them in Stability_Matrix\Data\Models\* (lora folder if a lora, TextualInversion if embedding, stablediffusion if checkpoint...)
>Stable Diffusion Automatic1111https://github.com/automatic1111/stable-diffusion-webuiI would recommend installing this through Stability Matrix.
>ComfyUIhttps://github.com/comfyanonymous/ComfyUI?tab=readme-ov-file#installingHas a learning curve but is extremely customizable and usually has the latest methods / papers implemented first.
>"But I don't have a decent GPU"NovelAI also does great pony:
https://novelai.netYou could also use a service like civitai.
Models:
>Pony Diffusion V6 XLhttps://civitai.com/models/257749/pony-diffusion-v6-xl?modelVersionId=290640>Autism Mix (Alternative model based upon pony diffusion, I prefer the DPO version of it. Better anatomy / more coherent.)https://civitai.com/models/288584?modelVersionId=324619>Seaart (Less pony knowledge but has artist tags and is very high quality.)https://civitai.com/models/391781?modelVersionId=437061>Useful artist style LoRA:https://civitai.com/models/317578/pdv6xl-artist-tags?modelVersionId=356175>LoRAs by /mlp/:https://rentry.org/ponyxl_loras>LoRAs by /h and other useful info:https://rentry.org/ponyxl_loras_n_stuff>How to make your own LoRA:https://rentry.org/59xed3https://civitai.com/articles/91/how-to-correctly-obtain-images-for-a-datasethttps://civitai.com/articles/3522/valstrixs-crash-course-guide-to-lora-and-lycoris-traininghttps://civitai.com/articles/4100/how-to-create-a-style-lycoris-for-ponyxl-on-low-vram-locally>Prompt tips for new users:Grab a image you like the style of from the desired model's citvia's site and drop it onto the PNG info tab in SD, you can then click send to text to image to reuse its generation info for your own images. Change the seed so you do not get just the same image. Use tags from e621 and natural language.
