AI Art Thread #66: Unvandalized Edition

>By posting in these threads, you recognize that AI generation is a valid artistic process.
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...)
>reForge
https://github.com/Panchovix/stable-diffusion-webui-reForge
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=290740
>NoobAI-XL Great new alternative. Is closer than novelai than anything else. Really diverse yet coherent positioning / styles, knows artist tags.
https://civitai.com/models/833294/noobai-xl-nai-xl
>ZoinksNoob, a popular new model built off ChromaXL Mix, which itself was built off of NoobAI. Very, very close to NovelAI and arguably better at many things, it does ponies very well and has much less of a "burnt-in" default style than something like Pony Diffusion V6 does.

>Prompt tips for new users:
Grab an 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.
