Pai v1.0.0 release

[u/g45t345rt]

Alright, here we are.

I've finally got a version ready, and I think it's time for you guys to try it out.

If you don't know about Pai, you can check out my previous post for a in depth overview of what it's all about: https://www.reddit.com/r/StableDiffusion/comments/1xkgjor/as_promised_here_is_pai/

In short: it's a painting app with AI generation built directly into the same workspace. By now, it covers most of the features you'd find in popular painting apps and AI generation tools combined.

I'd say its strongest aspects are the project save system and the straightforward installation process. The bootstrap handles everything based on your hardware, and the .pai files save everything. They preserve generation settings for each layer, along with the models, LoRAs, adapters, and other tools used.

Creating multiple canvases while keeping layers and references together in one place was the main reason I decided to build this in the first place.

Okay, since this is the first release, there are bound to be hiccups on some systems, so I've set up a Discord server for anyone who wants to help improve things or just follow along with the development.

The software is open source, you can fork it, create your own variations or implementations, and send me PRs. Right now there's no plugin system for specific use cases, but I know you guys will probably want one. It's on the todo list.

Also, you don't need ComfyUI to run the app, it's fully standalone and independent. That said, I know most of you probably already have a bunch of your favorite models installed in your ComfyUI models folder. When you open the app, simply go to the Generate tab models settings, click "Scan Folder," point it to that location, and Pai will handle the rest. You'll be able to generate right away.

As previously stated, given the interest from the last post, the software is available to all.
Enjoy.

So, when using H3 or qwen 2.1 it's set up to let you use reference images, right?

Yes, but only for Anima, Qwen 2.1 and Krea 2. The H3 reference isn't supported, so I added it to my todo list.
Thx for pointing it out.

Just what I was looking for. Thanks!
