cool bake by a cool guy

it sucks dick

>oh its for pros
no it sucks

>>105962703
That look of pure bliss on Ash

>>105961884
I'm testing this now and it's a massive improvement over NetaLumina. With the natural language prompt understanding of Lumina, it might unironically be on par with Illustrious, at least for some things.

It also kind of validates my earlier claim that NetaLumina was just being trained wrong. They used 50k A100 hours and the quality still looked like shit, this guy used 4k B200 hours and now it actually looks good.

ANCHOR

>>105962787
Ok and you gens? If you don't share gens then its slop

>>105962807
just try it yourself, why would you trust anybody's cherrypicked images?

>>105962747
Ash is very lucky. The question now is who's next.

>>105962862
nta but because most of the tunes are so fucking bad you almost cant even cherrypick a good fucking image out of it

>>105962703
how did you maintain the drawing effect? i have 3dcg slop effect

>>105962917
>how did you maintain the drawing effect?
he didnt, the gen just doesnt have much movement and hes a vramletnigger who cant even afford to interpolate from 16 to 32fps

>>105962917
It still sort of has a 3D effect, it's just that the composition and character actions make it less obvious.
I'm using the wan2.1 nsfw finetune which offers a decent balance between motion and artstyle retention. No loras (yet).

>CHROMA YUME NOOBAI XL

• What it is
A V-prediction diffusion model (NOOBAI XL-VPred lineage) rebuilt across 4 numbered releases. Only runs on tensor.art for now (not Civitai).

• Data & training highlights
– v1.0–3.0: Danbooru 2024, Yande, e621 + Illustrious XL & NOOBAI XL as teachers
– v2.0: +50 k real-life photos
– v3.0: dataset relabeled with GPT-4.5 then manually checked
– v4.0: fresh train on expanded anime/photographic sets (danbooru_newest, gelbooru_full, etc.) + custom captioned data; CLIP, VAE and U-Net retrained from scratch

• Version-to-version behavior
v1.0 – balanced multi-style anime, solid anatomy
v2.0 – much better anatomy & realism, weaker cross-style quality
v3.0 – recovers multi-style capability while keeping realism; prompt accuracy now critical
v4.0 – cleaner anatomy and style faithfulness, resolves v2/3 issues

• Core usage tips (V-Pred specific)
Positive (generic): “masterpiece, best quality, amazing quality”
Negative (generic): “bad quality, worst detail, sketch, censor, simple/transparent background”
Typical hyper-params:
‑ Sampler: Euler a (or Euler Ancestral CFG++ –Simple)
‑ Steps: 20 – 30 (25 – 30 with CFG++ recipe)
‑ CFG: 4 – 6 (1.2 – 1.5 with CFG++ recipe)
‑ Clip-skip: 2

For photoreal / cosplay output add to prompts:
Positive: “realistic, cosplay, real life, photorealistic”
Negative: “illustration, blur, film grain, cartoon, anime coloring, 3D, 2D, unrealistic …”

• Misc.
– All showcase images are straight from the base model (no LoRA / post-processing).
– Author actively seeks feedback to refine future versions.
– Credits: narugo1992, Nyanko, Laxhar Lab, Sennke and others.

>>105962932
I have 16gb vram and interpolate every single gen, I just prefer 16fps. Continue being a retard at your leisure though.

>>105962952
>v3.0: dataset relabeled with GPT-4.5 then manually checked
Oh that cost a lot of money

>>105962932
why on earth would someone interpolate an anime-style video?

>>105962969
>i prefer choppy 16fps slideshows
Maybe with some advanced motion awareness models in the future you could argue you want to emulate anime/movie fps but with the current models you just get choppy af output on a 2D looking scene that actually animated as if it were 3D

>>105962977
All local models are a huge source of income for GPU farms. Companies like NovelAI continue to profit, and dreamers continue to dream, spending money on careless finetunes.

>closeup with makeup and mascara, wearing choker with the lower case text "/ldg/" sewn onto it
Chroma didn't want to do lower case, but at least it tried with the 'sewn' part

>>105963005
>>105963008

>>105963008
anime is usually 12fps at most my dude

danbooru2024, danbooru_newest-all datasets, e621, e621_newest, gelbooru_full, yande_full sounds cool but the model looks slopped. at least it can still do true blacks desu

>>105963018

I cannot wait for the eventual completely pornified chroma finetune... if done right, it's going to be the GOAT model for NSFW.

>>105963008
Don't care. I see the two previews and I prefer 16fps to 32fps. It's as simple as that.

>>105963028
>tranimetroon cant read, and is dumb
pottery

>>105962626
https://files.catbox.moe/twui5f.mp4
It's just the lightx2v workflow from OP adapted to t2v
Not uploaded Peach lora yet

>>105963043
As long as someone has the money and the motivation, Chroma is indeed the perfect base model for this, fully permissive licensing, uncensored by default, great quality out of the box, easily made better for 'specific needs' with further finetuning / loras.

I think the 'community' will be all over this model once it reaches final release.

You need to leave.

>>105962881
Please do May next

>>105961806
>>105961759
what model did you use for the pic?

Is the light lora for WAN needed only for vramlets or does it offer any benefits over running just WAN itself?

>>105963374
it has nothing to do with ram, you can just gen videos faster. 4-8 steps vs 20-30

>>105963374
720p is unbearably slow without it. Doesn't matter if you've got a 5090

>>105963374
Its the new meta, fullstop. More than double the speed over the original rentry workflow and pretty much no quality loss.

>>105963403
where can i read about this new meta

>>105963381
>>105963403
Do I still need to run the new lora on lower strength to not cause slowmo?

>>105962703
>1boy
I'll never understand these people...You like an anime girl, and what you do is create 1boy too? You guys are crazy.

>>105963489
is it gay to prefer to see a futa fuck a female over a 1boy?

>>105963494
that's between you and your god

>>105963494
extremely gay. gayer than gay sex

>>105963479
no

>>105962879
>>105962945
model? i mean, you don't even have to indulge me in the actual checkpoints or loras you're using, but some info on your workflow would be nice
those are the best sprites I've seen

Best model for this prompt?
>Concept art of an Evangelion unit from Neon Genesis Evangelion. It has a slender form with reduced armor. Flexible spine. Elongated head with rows of teeth. Two eyes at the front of the head, two at the side of the head. Digitigrade leg structure. Matte black with green accents. Extremely long tail-whip. Progressive talons on all limbs. In the style of Studio Gainax.

>>105963604
I am suddenly reminded of East Of Eden, and the brother scene. Fuck.

>>105963604
he realized he has wasted his life doing it for free

>>105963627
>In "East of Eden," the pivotal "brother scene" involves Cal revealing to Aron that their mother is alive and running a brothel, which leads to Aron's psychological breakdown and enlistment in the army. This act, driven by Cal's jealousy and desire to hurt Aron, has devastating consequences, including Adam's stroke and Aron's tragic fate.

dang....

I want all the cables to disconnect baka

>>105963654
lol good luck with that

>>105963654
she already does whatever i ask her to do

>>105963644
not that one lol. If you dare, read about the one with the brother and sister.

what's this guy up to

Can I take pictures of real women I know and make them hotter and masturbate with AI then fill up a folder of these videos and accidentally leak it to them so they feel both disgust and that they're not pretty enough since people have to AI them hotter?

how difficult is it to train/create my own LoRa? (to make a semi-consistent character)
I'm a monkey that just downloaded comfyUI a day ago and I feel like a caveman discovering fire
I've just been using the templates and plugging in stuff i got off civitAI but I don't know how any of this works outside of that
this stuff runs so much better than text generation on a single gpu it's unreal

>>105963726
That's illegal

>>105963733
>I'm a monkey that just downloaded comfyUI a day ago
my condolances

>>105963739
I looked at forge but haven't tried it yet
seems more confusing since it doesn't have the visual-aid little colored boxes and strings?

>>105963687
spicy

>>105963733
The most obnoxious part is tagging the dataset images. You can use AI + manual QC. I used Onetrainer (since it was the only one that told me what to do) and a dataset of 25 images got baked into a lora in ~30 minutes on a 4070S

holy kino

>>105963767
thanks I'll check it out

You fucking robot whore

>>105963516
>>105963613

>>105963768
reminds me of that initial d beach episode for some reason lol

>>105963809
Stop, my penis can only get so erect

accidental cinema

was my mistake trying to do multiple mask areas at once? should i be just doing them 1 at a time?

My computers shit, can an anon make this animated slightly? it's retro 80's dark fantasy ish.

>>105963984
stand by

>>105963809
is this 1girl or 2girl

>>105964013
(1girl:2)

Even better

>>105964051
ur pumping these out fast
how

>>105963936
sorry what is the context here?

>>105964097
No?

>still check sdg sometimes to laugh at how bad their gens are
I don't understand why anyone would waste time and money generating such repetitive and ugly shit

>>105963937
shes upset because he didnt actually spank her

>>105963768
these backgrounds look so good, mind sharing catbox?

>>105964111
Imagine the sons she would produce

>>105964236
i too laugh at vampires

>>105963372
i didnt use a pic its t2v

What's the current tech for consistency between gens? For example, making a character or a scene for several comics or visual novel panels? Making a small image lora, ipadapter, simple promptable designs, sketching out before genning, inpainting and editing afterwards? Has anyone had success in this regard?

>>105962692

>>105964370
Indeed!

Do don pachi dai oh jou black label was one of the best shmups of all time

>>105964346
>You were masturbating to pictures of me, your own mother !?

What prompt should I use if I want the girl's boobs to look like this?
>perky breasts
>pointy breasts
Already tried that, didn't achieve the desired effect.

>>105964428
Wasn't this called something like triangle tits?

>>105964447
I thought it might be "torpedo breasts" so I tried that, but I can never get the desired boobs.

>>105964428
Tubular breasts? Cone-shaped breasts? Conical breasts? Swooping breasts? Constricted breasts?

>>105962656 (OP)
Top right on catbox?

How bad is T2V compared to I2V if I can't use the input images? Do I have to specify all the minute details even harder than with I2V or it gens a total mess?

>>105964428
>>105964462
1girl gooning models are trained on datasets of professionally-drawn breasts that look like they have weight and obey gravity, so to make a breast look perfectly triangular, you have to "trick" the AI into giving you unrealistic breasts that an amateur would draw.
>"Durr durr boobs are like pyramids growing out of a girl's chest right? Durr durr I'll draw two triangles"
The art of generating triangle breasts involves tricking the AI into forgetting how to generate "correct" breasts and generate less realistic breasts than it normally would
But if you don't want to go through all that trouble and you just want a hack that gives you a relatively high success rate,
>small breasts, pointy breasts
works because the AI probably will usually not give weight or heft or sag if it's been instructed to generate small breasts.

>>105964463
Swooping breasts with puffy nipples FTW

>>105961964
This model is kino, you just have to figure out which keywords it recognizes. Once you figure that out there's like zero gambling, it either works or it doesn't.

>>105964281
hot, catbox?

>>105964471
t2v is surprisingly good on understanding prompts

>>105964569
>gimme an example
I mostly use AI to coom so this is the best I can do on such short notice. There's this shift thing that this model uses that I've just been leaving at 1.0 so it's possible I could get better results messing around with that, dunno yet.

This image is a digital pixel art composition featuring a collection of fantasy-themed items. The background is plain white, which contrasts sharply with the detailed, colorful objects arranged in a grid-like pattern. Lines are distinct and emphasized with sharp white or dark lines for contrast. All objects are oriented in a vertical position.

In the left from top to the middle, a large detailed {ornate|ancient|etc} magical {chainmail|plate|full suit} medieval armor with {spiked pauldrons|a family crest|a glowing runic enchantment|multiple layers of armor} and {scuffs|dents|light cracks|heavy cracks|perfect condition} is depicted. Next to it are blah blah blah is depicted.

In the center from top to the middle, a large detailed {ornate|ancient|arcane|simple} magical {steel|iron|copper|gold} {long sword|battle sword} with {simple|bejeweled} pommel, blah blah blah is depicted.

In the bottom row there are two {amulets|necklaces|medallions|pendants} blahblahblah

In the left from middle to bottom a large detailed {round|kite|tower} shield is depicted, {fresh and vibrant|dry and aged|rotten and spoiled} with {fishbone|houndstooth|broken line|tile|harlequin} patterns, with a {wooden|metallic} frame trim.

Additionally, a blahblahblah

All objects share a theme of {leaves, flowers, nature, flora, and the spring season|death, decay, rot, bones, and gore|ice, snow, stones, dwarven runes|led light strips, sci-fi cyberpunk technology|astrology, stars, and the cosmos|ghosts, nostalgia, eerieness, and the supernatural}, with occasional motifs of {angel wings|bat wings|viper tongues|beast claws|phallic symbols}.

The style of the image is classic pixelated pixel art. Shading is dithered.

Am I stupid or is installing SageAttention 2.2 using more VRAM than SageAttention 1.0.6? Anyone know what's up?

someone please make me a Daria lora

How come that Wan text-to-image killed Flux?

test are we back

Now there are three or four aspiring local models trying to surpass SDXL and subtitle images with prose like Flux,

This ,{a|b|c}, are random prompts right? Can I do that in Forge or do I have to have an extencion?

>>105965947
It picks randomly from one of them yeah. I think there was a way to have it pull from a database instead of bloating the { } too much, but I forgor.

>>105965966
Thanks, what you try to recall its called dynamic prompts but i prefer to bloat because I don want to have notepads for that

Can i do what you do in WebUI or did you do it in another UI?

>This is a vivid, digitally enhanced photograph of a young Latina woman in a tomato field, captured in the rain. She has medium-dark skin, long black hair with bangs, and dark eyes. Her expression is focused and slightly pensive. She is wearing a wide-brimmed straw hat, blue denim overalls that accentuate her large breasts, and black rubber gloves. Raindrops are visible on her overalls, hair, and hat, adding a wet sheen to her skin. She holds two ripe, red tomatoes in each hand, positioned to the left and right of her upper body. The background shows lush green tomato plants with more tomatoes and blurred trees in the distance, suggesting a rural farm setting. The overcast sky and rain create a moody, almost cinematic atmosphere. The textures are highly detailed, with the denim overalls looking rugged and the tomatoes appearing juicy and fresh. The overall mood of the image conveys a sense of hard work and natural beauty. The digital enhancement adds a slightly surreal, almost hyper-realistic quality to the photograph. The woman's calm, determined demeanor contrasts with the stormy weather, suggesting she is undeterred by the rain.

>This is a highly detailed, hyper-realistic digital photograph of a young woman standing in a narrow, wet alleyway on an overcast day. She is of Latina ethnicity with a light brown skin tone, long straight black hair with bangs, and full lips. Her large, dark eyes are looking directly at the camera with a confident and slightly sultry expression. She has a curvy physique with large breasts, a slim waist, and a tattoo of a butterfly on her chest.

>She is wearing a bright pink, strappy bikini top that is slightly wet, revealing her cleavage, and matching pink sports shorts with a black drawstring. Her midriff is exposed, showing a navel piercing. She is holding two wine bottles in her hands, one in each hand, and both are also wet, suggesting recent exposure to rain.

>The alleyway is narrow with dark gray buildings on either side, featuring closed garage doors and a few scattered items on the wet pavement. The ground is shiny from the rain, reflecting the woman and the surrounding buildings. The sky is overcast, casting a diffuse light over the scene, and the air appears cool and damp. There is a slight sense of urban grunge, contrasting with the vibrant color of her outfit. The overall mood of the photograph is both bold and sensual, with the wet conditions adding a layer of rawness to the image.

>Wan text to image, no loras

>This is a digital anime-style illustration of the popular virtual singer, Hatsune Miku. The art features vibrant, high-contrast colors, primarily in shades of blue, pink, and white. Miku, a young Japanese woman with long, aqua-blue twin-tails, is depicted from the chest up, gazing upward with a serene, slightly dreamy expression. Her large, luminescent blue eyes are prominently featured, reflecting light and adding a sense of depth to her gaze. She wears her signature futuristic black and blue outfit with pink accents, which includes a high-collared shirt and a large, circular headset with a pink and red pattern. The background is a dynamic mix of bright, swirling colors, creating a sense of movement and energy. The texture of the illustration is sharp and bold, with thick, energetic lines that add to the sense of motion and vibrancy. The overall mood of the piece is futuristic and ethereal, capturing Miku's iconic blend of technological and musical elements. The colors and composition emphasize her otherworldly presence and the sense of being transported into a virtual realm. The artist has effectively used digital techniques to create a vivid, almost glowing effect, typical of modern anime art.

no re-styling loras applied. It catches the description quite good
>This digital anime-style illustration features a young female character with long, flowing black hair adorned with two large bows. Her skin is pale, and she has striking red eyes. She is wearing a revealing black and gold bikini, with intricate gold patterns on the top and bottom. Her bikini top accentuates her moderately sized breasts, and her bikini bottom is high-cut, highlighting her slender, toned legs and flat stomach. She is also wearing black thigh-high stockings with gold accents. The character is winking playfully with her right eye while extending her right hand towards the viewer, as if inviting them to touch or playfully interacting with her. Her left hand rests on her hip.

>The background is a vibrant, partly cloudy sky, with shades of blue and white, giving the impression of a bright, sunny day. The character's hair and bikini contrast sharply against the sky, drawing attention to her figure. The illustration includes a gray border on the left and right sides, framing the character. The overall emotional state of the character appears confident and playful. The art style is typical of anime, with bold lines, bright colors, and exaggerated features. The illustration includes Japanese text in the top left corner, adding an authentic touch to the anime aesthetic. The character's ethnicity is not explicitly specified, but her appearance is typical of a Japanese anime character.

Okay, so WAN can generate more consistent images than SDXL. How do we tell the entire SDXL community at Civit AI to stop messing around with SDXL and start using WAN as a checkpoint, Lora, etc.?

Someone call the chroma furry and tell him his project just got wanned

>>105966345
I think that at this point, SDXL slopper s and civit AI are so deeply involved with SDXL that it would be difficult to switch to another model, even if it were a better one.

>>105966189
>People will say this is a bad thing and be unable to explain why.

>>105966395
Let me explain why a checkpoint must be balanced. Same copyrighted character, different scenarios, different posture and lighting, and their style becomes unstable and changes. That is a checkpoint error.

>>105964821
I guess I will ask joycaption to add some metallic look to the description

>The photograph captures a massive, metallic T-Rex sculpture standing in a dimly lit, eerie outdoor setting. The sculpture's head is the focal point, dominating the frame with its open, menacing mouth. The T-Rex's metallic surface reflects the surrounding light, creating a stark, glossy sheen that enhances its ominous presence. Its large, purple, glowing eyes stand out, adding an unsettling, almost supernatural quality to the creature. The mouth is wide open, revealing sharp, silver teeth and a cavernous, red-lit interior that appears to be illuminated from within, giving it a bloodthirsty, almost alive appearance. The sunlight filtering through the nearby trees casts a harsh, contrasting light on the sculpture's surface, creating sharp shadows that add to the dramatic, foreboding atmosphere. The background includes dark, silhouetted trees, which further emphasize the sculpture's menacing form. The overall composition and use of light and shadow evoke a sense of horror and dread, as if the T-Rex is ready to pounce at any moment. The photograph's high contrast and vivid colors amplify the dramatic, unsettling mood, drawing the viewer into a sense of impending doom.

>This image depicts a young Caucasian woman standing confidently on a red carpeted stage with rich red curtains in the background. She is wearing a tight, shiny black latex bunny costume, including a strapless leotard that accentuates her curvy, hourglass figure, a black bow tie around her neck, white cuffs on her wrists, and a pair of black bunny ears with green ribbons on top of her head. Her long brown hair is styled in twin pigtails that drape over her shoulders. She has a fair skin tone and large, expressive brown eyes. She is holding a microphone in her right hand, which is raised to shoulder level, and her left hand is resting on her hip, exuding confidence and charisma. Her facial expression is neutral yet slightly alluring, with a subtle smile. The lighting is bright and even, highlighting her figure and the glossy texture of her outfit. In the background, there are two black speaker systems labeled "JBL" positioned on either side of her, adding to the stage setup. The overall mood of the image is sultry and playful, with a focus on the woman's sexuality and stage presence. The image is framed with gray borders, and the texture of the latex costume is highly realistic, emphasizing the tight fit and reflective quality of the material.

>This is a digital, line-art drawing of a cartoonish, anthropomorphic character. The character is a white, round-headed figure with a smooth, featureless body, suggesting a minimalist or abstract style. Its facial features are exaggerated and anxious: it has two large, black, almond-shaped eyes that are slightly wide with a hint of desperation, a small, straight black line for a mouth that is slightly open in a worried expression, and a slight upward tilt, giving a look of urgency. The character's right hand is raised, with fingers extended in a waving gesture, and the palm is facing outward, as if pleading for help. The background is a solid, light blue color, which contrasts with the white character and makes it stand out.

>The character's head is tilted slightly to the right, with its eyes and mouth looking slightly upwards, emphasizing its anxious and desperate state. There is a speech bubble emerging from the character's right side, containing the text "LDG halp!" in black, bold letters, adding to the sense of urgency and desperation.

>The drawing uses clean and thick black lines, giving it a bold, cartoonish appearance. The character's overall appearance and the positioning of the eyes, mouth, and hand convey a sense of nervousness and desperation as it seeks help. The lighting is even, with no shadows or gradients, keeping the focus on the simplicity and clarity of the character's expression and gesture.

>This image is a surreal and terrifying digital illustration featuring a glowing, skeletal skull with bright pink, menacing eyes at its center. The skull is adorned with a large, coiled snake with intricate, colorful scales that resemble an ancient, mythical pattern. The snake's head is positioned directly above the skull, giving the impression that it is about to consume or possess the skull. The background is a dark, star-filled night sky, filled with swirling clouds of vibrant pink and blue neon lights, adding to the otherworldly and unsettling atmosphere. The bottom of the image is framed by jagged, rocky terrain that looks like a lunar or extraterrestrial landscape. The overall composition is both hypnotic and frightening, with the combination of the glowing eyes, colorful snake, and neon sky creating a sense of unease and cosmic horror. The image is incredibly detailed, with a hyper-realistic texture to the bones and scales, which enhances the eerie and fantastical elements of the scene. The use of neon colors against the dark background adds a surreal, nightmarish quality to the illustration. The entire image conveys a sense of cosmic dread and supernatural menace, making it both visually striking and unsettling.

>This is a digital anime-style illustration of a young woman with light skin and a slightly flushed complexion, standing in a shallow, clear blue pond. She has short, dark purple hair with pinkish tips, and bright green eyes that are slightly narrowed, giving her a confident and slightly mischievous expression. Her physique is slender yet curvy, with large, prominent breasts that are accentuated by her dark blue, shiny, halter-neck one-piece swimsuit. The swimsuit is tight-fitting and reveals a significant amount of cleavage, with a small keyhole cutout just above her navel. She wears a black choker around her neck.

>The background features a lush, green pondside with large, broad leaves and some rocks partially submerged in the water. The sunlight filters through the foliage, creating a mix of bright and shadowy areas, with light reflections dancing on the water's surface. Small green lily pads can be seen floating in the pond.

>The lighting in the image is bright and natural, highlighting her wet hair and the sheen of her swimsuit. Her pose is relaxed yet slightly forward-leaning, with her hands partially submerged in the water. The overall atmosphere is serene and slightly playful, capturing a moment of calm in a natural setting. The artistic style is crisp and vibrant, with clean lines and a focus on bold, contrasting colors.

>>105966990
sounds like over reliance on prompting technique for a different model. i came from stable diffusion, and it took me a while to get how to do it for t5.
my process in chroma has been to generate one image per tag. if the result is coherent, then i know how and that chroma knows that tag, and i'll use it directly. if i get no output, then i figure out how to prompt for the concept longhand.
there are things that chroma knows well, that it has a strong idea about, that it has mixed understanding of, that it doesn't know at all, and that it gets wrong because of bad/poisoned tagging in datasets. not trying to shoehorn it into your old sd-style prompts is the best way to start getting the most out of it.

>>105966842
huh? how am i spamming?

>In this apocalyptic, digital artwork, a towering, black, crumbling monolith stands as a haunting sentinel amidst a desolate, war-torn landscape. The monolith's jagged, charred surface is illuminated by intense, crackling white lightning that zigzags across a dark, ominous sky filled with swirling, ash-gray clouds. Below, a river of glowing, molten lava cascades down the monolith's base, casting an eerie, fiery red glow that contrasts sharply with the surrounding darkness. The barren ground is littered with scorched, skeletal trees, their blackened branches reaching towards the sky like skeletal fingers. In the background, the horizon is shrouded in a thick, oppressive fog, adding to the scene's sense of foreboding and despair. The overall color palette is dominated by dark grays and blacks, with flashes of white lightning and red lava providing the only bright, striking colors. The image exudes a sense of doom and destruction, capturing the raw, unrelenting power of nature's wrath and the bleak, desolate beauty of a post-apocalyptic world. The edges of the image are framed with a gray border, emphasizing the isolation and severity of the scene. The artwork's digital style is hyper-realistic, with meticulous attention to detail in the textures of the monolith, lava, and charred trees, enhancing the dramatic and unsettling atmosphere.

>>105967328

>>105967337
>what workflow, UI, do you use?

from this video >>105965867
The workflow is in the description

I've been messing with AI for quite some time now, but not at the level you guys seem to operate. I'm not even proficient with prompts as I just describe what I want to see in normal language.

I used Midjourney when it was introduced and I really liked mixing styles together to get something unique.

So 1st question is, is there a benchmark or a list somewhere that evaluate what mainstream models are good at base level for image gen? Like GPT could be good for portrait picture, another model could be good for scenery, another for anime...

2nd question, I'd like to build a small pipeline where I can output a consistant style across different types of subjects (characters, backgrounds, items...). I'm not sure where to start as what you guys seem to do is pretty technical, and also I have an AMD GPU (9070) which I think would block ways to get into it.
When I say pipeline, it would be a fixed pipeline requiring almost no tweaks even if it impacts negatively the result of the pictures slightly (if that's possible as of now).

Any recommendations?
Pic related is a 3D model I generated for Tabletop Simulator where I managed to somewhat create a "pipeline" to obtain consistant results creating several models.

>>105967328
Not too far off:
> fantasy illustration, dark fantasy, painting, A blasted wasteland covered in patches of molten ash, where a single obsidian monolith stands at the center of an impact crater. Lightning cracks above, arcing from cloud to ground, drawn to the monolith’s rune-covered surface. Blackened dead trees surround the monolith. The sky above is a turbulent mix of purples and grays, with roiling storm clouds.

Do wan loras work with wan fun camera? It's not working for me, I must be doing it wrong. I'm using the example workflow which generates the matplot crap (removed from the output stream). There's a wan lora loader which will connect to the lora input used in the example, but as you can see from this gen, it doesn't work.

>>105964111
I might make her look a bit more mature

>>105967318
I recently asked a lora artist friend of mine if he's tried Wan, he said he did and the results weren't good, so he's sticking to Illustrious for now.

I guess we need SDXL lora artists to start pumping out Wan T2I I2I specific loras. Otherwise the SDXL community won't switch over.

>>105967292
Can you elaborate? I see people here talking about chroma all the time. Why use chroma over the tried and tested?

>>105967369
Did you try Ani_Wan?

>>105967384
I made a tool to help with building loras from video stills:
https://huggingface.co/quarterturn/facesaver

I've used it with my molmo captioner (preferred because it is the least censored) to pretty easily crank out lora training datasets.

>>105967392
Because SDXL hits its limits when you try to do anything more complex.

>>105967384
>Wan T2I I2I specific loras

>This is a photograph of a 37-year-old mature woman with a fair skin tone and dark, short, slightly wavy hair. She has a curvy physique with very large, prominent breasts and wide hips. She is wearing a teal one-piece swimsuit that has the brand name "SUGOI DEKAI" printed in two lines in white on the chest. The swimsuit is high-cut, revealing her thighs and accentuating her hourglass figure. She is standing poolside, leaning slightly back with her hands resting on the pool's edge, which is adorned with small, square, white tiles. Her legs are slightly apart, and she is looking directly at the camera with a neutral expression.

>The background features a clear, bright blue swimming pool with a white metal frame visible in the upper left corner. The pool is surrounded by a sunny, green landscape with tall trees and a clear blue sky. The sunlight is bright, casting sharp shadows and highlighting her pale skin and the texture of her swimsuit. The photograph has a high-contrast, slightly over-saturated style, adding a vivid, almost digital quality to the scene. The woman's confident stance and direct gaze suggest a sense of self-assuredness and calm.

>>105967367
we are so back

>This oil painting depicts a serene, enchanted forest at twilight, bathed in soft, ethereal light. The focal point is an ethereal, white-winged angel seated on a luminous, moss-covered rock in the left foreground. The angel's delicate, angelic wings are intricately detailed with fine feathering. His eyes are closed, and he has a serene, focused expression as he tends to a wounded deer lying before him. The angel is gently laying his hands on the deer's side, transferring a glowing, translucent aura of mana that radiates from his fingertips, enveloping the deer in a soft, greenish-blue light.

>The deer, initially lifeless and still, begins to stir under the angel's touch, its eyes opening with a glimmer of renewed life. Surrounding the angel and deer, the forest is dense with dark, shadowy trees, their leaves creating a natural canopy above. Small, twinkling fireflies and a soft, blue-green aurora in the background add a magical, otherworldly atmosphere. A gentle, reflective stream flows through the forest in the background, its surface mirroring the soft lights and colors of the scene. The overall composition exudes a sense of peace, healing, and the gentle magic of nature. The artist's use of light and shadow creates a realistic yet fantastical atmosphere.

>>105967488
If you got that in one go that's pretty impressive since it took pixelwave flux some finagling to get her hand to point towards and the spell to actually touch the deer.

Use adetailer. There's probably an extension or section for it on Forge/Reforge. On Comfy you use the Impact nodes. See https://rentry.org/comfyui_guide_1girl#face-and-hand-detailing

>>105967392

>This enchanting aquarelle painting depicts a delicate pixie with vibrant red-orange hair, sitting contemplatively on a moss-covered rock in a magical forest at night. Her ethereal, translucent wings glow with a soft blue light, slightly blurred to create a dreamy effect. She is adorned in a flowing, light blue skirt that cascades gently around her, and she is barefoot, with one leg crossed over the other, her feet resting on the rock.

>The background is a lush, dense forest, shrouded in shadows and illuminated by a glowing, full moon that casts a soft, silvery light over the scene. The moon is positioned in the upper left corner, partially obscured by misty, swirling clouds. Tiny, luminous blue butterflies flutter around her, their presence subtly suggested rather than overtly stated, adding a sense of whimsy and magic to the atmosphere.

>The overall color palette is dominated by deep blues and blacks, with the soft blue and red-orange colors providing a gentle, captivating contrast. The texture of the painting is rich and slightly grainy, with visible brushstrokes that add depth and a sense of movement to the ethereal forest setting. The pixie's serene expression and the gentle, almost melancholic ambiance of the scene evoke a sense of quiet reflection and magical wonder, with a slightly blurred effect that enhances the dreamy, otherworldly quality of the painting.

>Cette toile impressionniste àquarelle représente une petite fée avec des cheveux vives de roux-orange, assise contemplativement sur une pierre couverte de mousse dans un forest magical pendant la nuit. Ses ailes transparentes et éthérées brillent d'un doux bleu, légèrement floues pour créer un effet de rêve. Elle est vêtue d'une robe enroulée bleue qui s'efface doucement autour d'elle, et elle est pieds nus, avec un pied croisé sur l'autre, ses pieds reposant sur la pierre.

>Le fond est une forêt dense, enveloppée dans des ombres et illuminée par la lune brillante qui projette une lumière argentée sur la scène. La lune est située dans le coin supérieur gauche, partiellement masquée par des nuages mous et mouvementés. Des papillons lumineux bleus s'envolent autour d'elle, leur présence légèrement suggérée plutôt que nettement définie, ajoutant un peu de fantaisie et de magie à l'atmosphère.

>Le palette de couleurs est dominée par des bleus foncés et des noirs, avec les couleurs bleu et roux-orange qui se contrastent doucement. La texture de la peinture est riche et légèrement granuleuse, avec des touches visibles de pinceaux qui ajoutent de la profondeur et un mouvement à l'espace forestier éthéré. L'expression tranquille de la fée et l'ambiance douce et mélancolique de la scène évoquent un sentiment de réflexion paisible et de rêve enchantée, avec un flou qui renforce la qualité rêveuse de la toile.

lovely gen, gj

It understands natural language, so you can dictate what goes where in 3D space more easily, and you can describe multiple characters without regional prompting and not have each characteristic be applied to a random character(s).

Pic related is an Illustrious gen that used a Chroma gen as a ControlNet input. Afraid I lost the Chroma gen though.

I haven't tried it but loras aren't free and they will never work around the VAE's limitations.

1) people tend to stick with whatever they know, so there's not a lot of broad, systemic testing. when deciding: base model (highest knowledge, generalized output), finetune (partial knowledge, specialized output), and lora (minimal knowledge, discrete output). a finetune takes a base model and squeezes its attention into an narrower band (2d: anime), and a lora teaches a discrete, specific style or concept (3d: game assets: WoW Classic skill effects).
2) I'd vouch for comfy for "pipeline" creation. you can create multiple prompt nodes and toggle between them or combine them, or have "styles" that you save as csv and toggle on or off in chains with lora.
for instance, you can draw a square, group nodes in it, then activate or deactivate everything in that square with a click. if you create multiple squares and assign them different style prompts and loras, you could run them all in a single queue.
