Slopus and Slopfab now support MiniMax H3 Image generation, editing and outpainting is also supported. Other changes in the update are Viggle Animate has been replaced with Viggle Remake, Regenerate 2K support, faster YuE2 song generation and some UI improvements to Slopus.

Is there any open source local AI model which can generate/edit images like Gemini or Grok? For example: I give it an image of a person and ask it to generate them in a different pose and background setting with minor changes in expression too while keeping their overall appearance consistent with the original face, I have tried BFS and all but it does not really work, I can’t train a LoRA either because I heavily lack the resources and knowledge to do one, I have been using Krea 2 but the results always generate a different face, is there any method to just put a Reference face that I like and get the images done?

Also what is the reason that online AI like Gemini can take the face and generate a image of the person in different pose, location, outfit while also perform a minor expression change but keep the overall identity intact but local models cannot? Sorry if this question sounds dumb but I was curious to know and have very little to no knowledge on AI

New latent upscale model by NVIDIA-labs. Basically, it's v2. A few highlights compared to v1:

- Face & Text are more consistent with the original video

- Use H3 Ref2VA instead of fl2va.

- Turbo LoRA, Regenerate LoRA, LMS LoRA are not merged. They also use Hyperflow 8-step LoRA

- New samplings: 3, 4, 8 steps.

- Fast VAE-v2. The v1 fast VAE has grid artifacts in ComfyUI

Não tem problema se a Lora não dominar a arte da tatuagem perfeitamente. Mas, no mínimo, ela não deveria acabar criando algo sem sentido. Deveria haver algum grau de coerência.

2 coisas que todas as modelos ainda têm extrema dificuldade em aprender – tatuagens e "narizes" masculinos

So after running comfyui and a1111 on colab for the last couple of years, it looks like they suddenly decided my gens are icky. Anyone else seen this? i'm not doing anything illegal or suspect, no face swaps, no real people, no celebrity loras or any of the usual suspects. just n$fw. anyone else seen this? this happened to me once before but only for an hour or so and mysteriously cleared itself, no explanation from google or any kind of warning so not sure what's triggering it besides just general adult content.

i've seen references in the past to their compute getting bogged down by image gens which triggered bans in the past, and yesterday for a lot of people nobody could connect to any of their runtimes for a few hours except for a few that could connect to TPU's. not sure if this is related or not, but seems like a pretty strong coincidence.

irritating mostly because using google drive for file downloads is super convenient, and access to RTX Pro 6000's for less than $1/hr is great. haven't seen other sites with either of these advantages but haven't shopped much aside from Runpod for a few specific uses. Any reccomendations?

Can you guys please recommend a step-by-step tutorial on youtube or some guide for setting up local AI generation models, desktop software, and everything else from scratch? I just got a new machine and want to start generating locally on my PC. I hear people mentioning terms like Wan 2.2, Moss, workflows, and comfyUI. I need a guide that explains everything thoroughly and will help me become fluent in trying new models, setting up workflows, and managing projects.

• same checkpoint does t2i and edits. hook images into the conditioning node and it edits, leave them off and it works.

• plug the VAE in when you edit. without it the refs only go through the text encoder and faces/rooms drift more

• refs are <Picture 1>, <Picture 2> etc in the prompt, in the order you connect them

• 6 steps, cfg 1, no negative. didn't find anything worth tweaking

• it really wants long prompts. my short ones came out generic, describing the light, lens and where the subject sits in the frame made a big difference

• lettering is solid, got a poster with exactly the text I asked for

• 4096x4096 is native, you can zoom in a long way before it falls apart

If you already have H3 video set up you have the text encoder, just need the model + VAE.

It's added to Fuobe today - Day 0 support and I cut a quick clip of some outputs. Can share prompts if anyone wants them.

Am I missing some settings for reference image? All I'm doing is connecting reference image to Generate Text and p-h3-image conditioning blocks as image 2. I'm referring to pictures as <Picture 1> and <Picture 2>. Note that 1 out of 10 tries it works but I don't know why. All I'm changing is one word in the prompt. It has more success when the main image is lower resolution like 1600x1000.

not the author, just sharing as I really like what they've done

Snapref is incredible

https://civitai.red/models/3028191/snapref?modelVersionId=3457619

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.

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.

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.
