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 civitai'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.

>No, AI art is NOT stealing.
Here, all the usual misinfo already addressed in one easy place for your viewing displeasure:

Any chance somebody in here could gen ponies in space outfits (if possible, in the silly 60s scifi tier book cover style) ?

AI art is art and valid, shartists stealing AI art as theirs should be exposed. I'm not mentioning the name we already know.

>>42424805
>I'm not providing any proof
So it's just FUD then.

Reminder that AI artists can be just as mentally fragile as traditional artists.

>>42424805
That's unacceptable, it's called plagiarism.

>>42424830
Here's the original by Teaspoon.

>>42424865
That's better. Now whenever you make another of these "traditional artists are stealing our AI arts!!!" claims I want you to provide the proof. It's public information, so there's no need to withhold it (it's on the same level of stupidity as censoring the names on screencaps of social media posts literally made PUBLICLY).

Anyway
>Teaspoon
Sounds like an alt name for Patachu, considering his love for Silver Spoon.

Oi faggots. Why haven't you taken an existing episode and put AI to reimagine it?

Sure, I can try it in a bit.

>It means a lot, here's a few gens

And this is how you help the AI community uniting artists into collaboration, not being a pretentious faggot screaming art theft.


>>42424880
Probably, who cares? The >>42424805 is more vibrant and detailed. AI is a tool, and I support this.

>>42424931
>And this is how you help the AI community uniting artists into collaboration
I completely agree, but only if the artist making the redraw credits the maker of the AI picture. All artwork should be CC BY-NC-SA, especially artwork based on work that you don't own (like fanart).

>>42424865
This is cute but when I see >>42424805 artist captured the essence of the prompter, it's got sovl.

>>42424930
Eh, I'm just tired of the thread dying early, so I try to space out my posts more.

I should have started using hires fix a long time ago
Anyway here are some pictures of Rarity and Applejack kissing and also they have mare parts

How do you all get anything good at all from Zoinksnoob? Every time I generate anything other than basic pony it's a mess. It can't generate clothing at all without it being artifacted to fucking death.

Like the fangs/eyes/amulet on this Rarity. Just blobs.

>>42425380
What's your CFG? For zoinks should be around 2-3.
Upscale method?
Also
>Rarity

>>42425458
It's at 3. I upscale with basic anime sharp 4x, though upscale doesnt seem to matter in details.

>>42424841
This is tame compared to the mental breakdown some AI proompters have and had in this thread. Some are trolls, but most are sadly legit.

It's not better on Discord or DA.

>>42424931
I wish it were this simple, but there's something else between these two you should know if you weren't this new.

>>42425380
I think Zoinksnoob works best when you choose simple pieces of clothing; if you try to combine too many, it can have issues. Not really sure if the artifacting is related to that or something else. I'd maybe try using a simpler style or generating at a higher res.

>>42424732
Finally. The ultimate proof that the moon landing was real.

>>42426372
Glad that now with AI people start to question every bullshit past or present they see on the internet as if it's legit or fake. AI brings back critical thinking, slowly but surely.

>>42424882
I actually should try this, I'm curious to see how it would look. Probably horrifying.

Why?

>>42427089
Slidefags. They struck again. That's how the last thread got archived too.

>>42427103
Honestly, I can't imagine anything more pathetic than slidefaggotry. The barbie thread gets slid, a new one gets made, rinse and repeat.

I said the same thing here >>42246713 and it got deleted by the jannies. Kinda telling, right?

>>42427131
What model is this?

>>42427497
I use for this: WAI-NSFW-illustrious-SDXL v14.0 with Chrysalis lora.

>>42427724
That's a pretty good model for coom if you use the "realistic" tag with enough emphasis.

>>42424732
Well, here's my take on this. It sort of ended up as a near-future, interstellar-esque thing instead of 1960s, though the suit does kind of look like a U-2 pilot pressure suit.

am I the only one that gets annoyed at badly proportioned pony bodies in gens?

>>42427994
Dunno, I think that image is trash as a whole. 2D faces on 3D-ish bodies looks uncanny.

>>42428013
it's that particular model's bias. i had 3d and photorealistic in the negative prompt. it's more coherent than zoinks and couldn't be bothered to img2img it, but thanks for your opinion fag.

>>42428023
Hey, I don't care what you fap to. Enjoy it, whatever, just don't expect any upboats from me on a booru. That's also why I pretty much never upload my own coom - I know the majority of people are not into my fetish.

>>42428054
i mean, i don't disagree. i can appreciate a good realistic gen when i see it but i do dislike the SFM model/style—like the image i posted. that doesn't make it any less of a good reference point for further refinements, though.
