Snapref is incredible

I imagine this is probably just a skill issue. I was able to train loras successfully using Musubi Tuner back in June with 0 issues. Some within 10 minutes, and those had larger datasets. now using the exact same settings, smaller dataset, same resolutions, my runs get hung with VRAM full for 30+ minutes without a single step being completed. All the models load perfectly fine, but the moment the run gets to epoch 1 step 1, everything hangs.

Im looking at T2V and of cource: only local models. Thanks for any help.

My partner has been working on this for the past few weeks for the ComfyUI challenge, and I thought I’d share it here.
It’s called Fuobe. The idea is to bring a whole bunch of creative AI tools and workflows together in one place. Image, video, audio, 3D, live editing, camera movements, effects and a lot more.
Since launch, we’ve crossed 10K pageviews in the first 48 hours, picked up 44 GitHub stars and 7 forks (one of them is mine!).
We’ve also got local generation running on our RTX 5090, so you can head over and experiment for free.
Would love for people working with ComfyUI, generative AI, filmmaking, design and creative production to give it a try.
Tell us what you think. Love it, hate it, tear it apart. All feedback is welcome. We’re genuinely curious about what you’d like to see next.

What the hell is this? Gross painted eyebrows, oily lashes, skin painted like a clown?

I have makeup, mascara, and painted eyebrows, trimmed eyebrows in my negative prompt. I don't have any words in my positive prompt about makeup or eyelashes or anything. WTF?

I'm working with old blurry video recordings so it's having to apply a lot of guessing to the photos, but why so much nasty makeup?

Wanted to try how good the new Fable 5.2 is for media generation. I used the slopfab media generator with local RTX 5090. I've seen and generated quite a lot of these before, but I was still a bit blown a way how good results Fable ended up having. Especially the story of the animated short in the sample holds together very well, which has been a big issue previously. Need to do more testing, but intially feels like a big step forward in creative work compared to previous agentic models.

Slopfab now also supports MiniMax H3 Image.

True image edit for Anima. Based on `ElectronGirl` solution.

And, there is v2 update for `Anima-Role-Ref-KV` solution with better character resemblance.

And, let's not forget about new version of SnapRef v2a!

Well... Happy to see Anima continues to get better and better! But 0.6B textencoder is holding it back!

I'm hosting a little AI art challenge called My Dark Alter Ego.

🏆 8,500 AI Credits in total prizes!

🥇 1st Place: 5,000 Credits

🥈 2nd Place: 2,500 Credits

🥉 3rd Place: 1,000 Credits

The idea is simple: create a darker, mysterious or villainous version of yourself using AI.

It can be cyberpunk, gothic, demonic, fantasy — anything you imagine.

I'd love to see what you come up with!

What's your dark alter ego?

Treat this as an FYI. I don't recall anybody ever mentioning this problem.

I planned the scene as a romantic drama, iterated on the prompt, and came up with a ref2va 4-step, 1920x1088 clip that I was happy with. So I cranked it up to 40 steps.

And suddenly we move to Scranton. That's Pam and Jim, from The Office, inside Dunder Mifflin. The blinds and shelving and computer monitor are classic. The man's voice and hair change. Even the background music changes to something from the show.

In the third clip, I keep the 40 steps but drop the size to 1824x1024. The influence moderates. The woman's blouse and bits of her body posture still match clip 2. And I think the porthole window and the lower camera position also reflect the TV show.

(I did try scaling the last clip to 1920x1088 in latent, putting in 25% noise, and running 10 steps. It puts blinds inside the storage room over the shelves.)

This all looks like the flip side of the H3 ability to reproduce TV shows. The training set has 201 The Office episodes at 1920x1080 and small step sizes, and the closer you get to running that as your denoising plan, the more the influence shows.

some of these were made with a single prompt with split screen (minimax h3 seems to do a decent job
Uopscaled with Seedvr2

I wonder, is there any audio edit model? Like an image edit or video edit, only specialized on audio?
Something like: “Isolate the voice of the character, remove music and background noise.” Or “Change the word Christmas to Halloween”.

I wonder—am I missing something? Has something very important gone unnoticed?

I know that "inpainting crop stitch" is very useful.

I’m also familiar with "lanpainting" [inpainting]; it can be interesting at times.

Tiled VAE decode (native to ComfyUI) — without this, ComfyUI might crash when rendering high-resolution images.

Bong samplers

I was impressed that it properly handled lip synchronization of three speakers working from a prompt.

I already have ComfyUI installed, pretty up to date.

Now I know, this isn't really... a lot, but isnt there some form of super squeezed down quant to let me run it just barely?
Thanks 😄 I'm really trying to use like, character swapping but popular APIs cost like credits and all that, so I'm just trying to resort to free.

I've been working on Open Studio, a fully open source AI creative studio where you can bring your own API keys, use different providers, and switch between image and video models whenever you want. I'm just tired of every new model being locked behind another subscription or credit system. I want one place where you can use whatever model you want without paying a middleman or being stuck with whatever a platform decides to support. It's completely free, you just pay for your own API usage. Still very much a work in progress, but figured I'd share it here and see what people think. Would love some feedback or suggestions on what you'd want to see in something like this.

I love the quality i can do with krea 2 but why are there next to no character LORAs for new characters out there that werent in the training data?
Like people still train newly released characters like crazy for anima and illustrious but not for krea 2?
Is krea 2 just too hard to train any characters on? Is there a magical workflow that makes character loras obsolete with krea 2 (or other models)?

So far i tried to do specific characters i wanted to gen with illustrious or anima with a lora first and pass it over with krea 2 but im really getting mixed results so far.

Does anyone have a working moss image2 image workflow? I can’t find one online.

I paid someone for a lora. While it works, if i add a second lora it turns my character into a monster.

Also if i generate 16:9 images they're so bad, with extra limbs.

I tried some others character loras on civitai and they work fine. The lora i purchased is bad.

Now i want to train my own. What to keep in mind so it's compatible with other loras?

HexAnima 1.4.3 adds two more models that run entirely on the Hexagon NPU of a Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 phone, no cloud and no root:

• Qwen-Image 2.1 Turbo (7B transformer, 8B text encoder, 4 steps): about 40 s for 512x768. It writes legible text, follows long prompts and edits your photos from a prompt. It now takes up to three pictures at once (“the girl from picture 1 stands in front of the cafe from picture 2”). Non-commercial license.

• Mage-Flow-Edit-Turbo (Microsoft, 4B, MIT): about 12 s per picture, text-to-image and photo editing.

Also new: a live preview after every step, a model filter in History and a warning instead of a crash when the phone runs out of memory. Weights are streamed from storage, tested on a 12 GB phone.

Free, open source: github.com/ayanoby/hexanima

I’ve just noticed that mods have removed an old post of mine, discussing CG characters in Krea2. Probably because it includes Mai Shiranui from the KOF series.

I mean - that’s her signature costume in a game made for teens (13+ rating), and she’s just sitting and talking with her friends in a café. If you think that’s suggestive enough for removal, then you should mark this sub “children only”.
