civitai VS sd_dreambooth_extension

I find it quite funny, especially if you realize that something like 90% of the Stable Diffusion model fine-tunes out there are actually made for generating porn or images of females. Go to the website that has the most image generation models to verify this for yourself: https://civitai.com

WARNING don't visit this site on your work computer.

Remember The Website Obesity Crisis [1] article from 2015, since then [2] things only got worse, and it is been almost 10 years already (at the end of 2024).

Is it foolish to say that in 10 more years you wont be able to navigate the web on a circa 2015 PC ? If nothing changes seems like it.

My old macbook from 2013 with latest Firefox is already can not handle loading https://civitai.com web page with 23.98 MB of JavaScript, it is just hangs for half a minute while trying to render this disaster of web frontend.

One of the most popular free AI image generators right now is Civitai. Civitai uses a cutting-edge AI model to turn text prompts into photorealistic images in seconds.

Soz, I don't like to cross link my accounts, especially with all this TSWift shenanigans going around. But, if you look at https://civitai.com/ plenty of people have links to their ko-fi accounts where you can commission them (heck you may even find me somewhere on there).

civitai.com ?

all the samples images on models at https://civitai.com/ have prompts included. I used to have a bunch of sites that list prompts bookmarked, but I lost all my bookmarks recently :(

https://civitai.com/ most people grab models here these days I think. At least I do. And yeah, make sure to put checkpoints in the model folder, and lora in the lora folder, and hit the refresh button and it should show up.

Go to civitai.com, look for images that look realistic, study their prompts and the models used to generate them.

Tons of models to pick from on Civitai. I have a bunch downloaded for making NPCs for DnD.

I am trying to use StableDiffusion via AUTOMATIC1111 with the Dreambooth extension

When I first attempted SD training, I was very frustrated. It wasn't until I found this obscure forum thread on Github that I actually started producing great results with Dreambooth. Because I have such satisfactory results, I'm very reluctant to beat my brains against LoRa and its related training techniques. I gave up trying to train TI embeddings a long time ago. And I never figured out how to train or how to use hypernetworks. I've only been able to get good results with Dreambooth directly because of that thread I linked above. I make LoRas by extracting them from Dreambooth-trained checkpoints. And I have no idea if I'm doing the extractions the right way or not.

Getting the same with automatic1111 and sd_dreambooth extension. Check out more here in the issues log: https://github.com/d8ahazard/sd_dreambooth_extension/issues/1266

It's several moths old and many things have changed. But the spreadsheet available through this thread on Github has been indispensable for me when I train Dreambooth models. I'm astounded no one talks about it. I bring it up all the time. The research presented there should be continued. I'd love to see similar research done for SD v2.1.

Training rate is paramount. Read this Github thread.

also the Dreambooth extension supports API (https://github.com/d8ahazard/sd_dreambooth_extension/blob/main/scripts/api.py) so i'm not sure where do you get those news :/
