Stable Diffusion, NovelAI, Machine Learning Art - AI art generation discussion and image dump

[Catgirl Tyranid]

I've been playing a lot of GURPS games with friends on Tabletop Simulator, and AI slop is perfect for making character images to use as tokens. I made my account here using one from a game we recently concluded, a campaign set during the first crusade. I wanted to go for a Tyrion Lannister archetype, but horribly inbred. It only took a few photoshop alterations to get what I had in mind. It must really suck for people who would normally take commissions for this kind of thing. What would this have even cost, and how long would it have taken to get back?

You wouldn't have paid money for this in the first place so it doesn't actually affect the art community.

Lol, true. But others do, and I was just curious what the going rate and lead time for commissions are.

Most likely severely overpriced as it'd be the only source of income for the artist.

Ars Technica: Midjourney introduces first new image generation model in over a year (archive)

AI image generator Midjourney released its first new model in quite some time today; dubbed V7, it's a ground-up rework that is available in alpha to users now.

V7 works with most parameters from previous versions (--ar, --seed, etc), including users' existing --sref codes from 6.1, as well as the recently introduced personalization feature. In fact, V7 is the first Midjourney model that has personalization enabled by default, meaning users will have to train it by picking at least 200 images to build their aesthetic profile.

Ars Technica: Google adds Veo 2 video generation to Gemini app (archive)

The company's Veo 2 video generator is rolling out to the Gemini app and website, giving paying customers a chance to create short video clips with Google's allegedly state-of-the-art video model.

State of the art but still can't stop cartoon characters from talking unprompted

Well, I've pretty much moved to Illustrious now. The way it handles prompt language is much better than 1.5, though looking for a photorealistic checkpoint is still hard.

Have you seriously still been using SD1.5 up until now? Just use SDXL or Flux if you want photoreal.

I was concerned about VRAM issues, but with Forge I feel more comfortable with using such models even if it causes my computer to lock up for a bit. Might even think about ReForge at some point.

 

[Slav Power]

Might even think about ReForge at some point.

Speaking of, it's been discontinued as the dev's personal life has interfered with the project. If you're VRAM restricted, consider learning ComfyUI since it handles memory constrains well. I was able to run SDXL models on a 1060 with 16GB of RAM. It would offload most of it to the system RAM, run like shit and make the system unusable, but it would work instead of shitting itself.

AI-generated videos now possible with gaming GPUs with just 6GB of VRAM

Lvmin Zhang at GitHub, in collaboration with Maneesh Agrawala at Stanford University, has introduced FramePack this week. FramePack offers a practical implementation of video diffusion using fixed-length temporal context for more efficient processing, enabling longer and higher-quality videos. A 13-billion parameter model built using the FramePack architecture can generate a 60-second clip with just 6GB of video memory.

I remember saying a few pages ago that it used to take >40GB to do video gen. It's exciting to see this tech progress and improve in real time.

Is it easy to have multiple profiles with Midjourney? Because the AI learning to do one particular style it thinks I prefer would be one of the last things I would want. I want to be able to change the style I want from image to image.

I highly recommend using this addon on top of Framepack, adds some much needed boosts to generation speed and some QoL additions to the UI. Despite what is says on the tin the software is weird when it comes to utilizing RAM and GPU VRAM, this helps alleviate the issue. Went from 15-30 seconds per iteration down to 2 as it should have been.
