AI Art Thread #39 "Please wait a while before making a thread" edition.

Backends:

>https://github.com/LykosAI/StabilityMatrix
This 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 Automatic1111
https://github.com/automatic1111/stable-diffusion-webui
I would recommend installing this through Stability Matrix.

>ComfyUI
https://github.com/comfyanonymous/ComfyUI?tab=readme-ov-file#installing
Has 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.net
You could also use a service like civitai.

Models:

>Pony Diffusion V6 XL
https://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

>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.

Badonka donk

i kinda envy the kids who enjoy the show now

the shows i enjoyed as a kid have a nostalgia value, but half of them are grating to re-watch now

to think that they'll grow up, rediscover the show out of some gen z nostalgia pride thing on a new social media, get their minds blown when they catch the references they didn't as kids and appreciate the production value as some go into animation themselves.

perhaps they'll even find refuge in the poniverse when late 21st century disasters befalls humanity. a little saddened when they hear of fandom drama that occurred unbeknownst to their younger selves, and perhaps relieved they live in a time the world isn't hung up on what cartoons boys watch.

not to mention the tonnes of hand-me-down pony porn from the first wave bronies
