Just use API Nodes

MYTH: api models are censored
FACT: api models are less censored than local models and are in fact trained on NSFW imagery

MYTH: api models are too expensive
FACT: it's actually quite cheap to use API through ComfyUI API Nodes. the price for api has went down in comparison to the price of hardware

MYTH: api nodes collect your data and are unsafe to use
FACT: api is safer than local because nothing is stored on your hard drive. with local models, you need to download hundreds of loras and custom nodes, any of which could be infected

MYTH: an api can pull the plug at any time, why use something like that?
FACT: everything you generate can be saved to your desktop so nothing is lost

MYTH: it's impossible to train a custom style of character with api, loras make local way better
FACT: api can learn any style or character with a single image reference, which is much faster and smarter than loras

MYTH: if i buy api credits and don't like the model, that's money wasted
FACT: comfyUI's API nodes credit system allows you to prompt hundreds of cutting-edge api models. the credits share between models so you aren't locked in to any one ecosystem

MYTH: api users are poor and from third world countries
FACT: the top hollywood productions and anime studios all use api models. api is the weapon of choice for everyone world-wide

MYTH: discussion of api models is off-topic
FACT: api models are part of the comfyui experience and are relevant to this thread. combining api models with local workflows is still local

>of all the images in the previous thread, these were the ones baker selected

lmao

>>108528964

>>108528988
it's important to free yourself from over-reliance on one specific model. we see it with the sdxl cult, the chromakeks, the mentally ill gpt-4 addicts, etc. the great thing about API models is when one shuts down, 3 better ones take its place. sora may be shutting down, but better models like seedance are emerging. this is why it's extremely important to use API nodes instead of subscribing directly to openAI. with API nodes, your credits are never lost and can be used on any model.

Blessed thread of frenship

has ran killed himself yet?

ive had moderate success using OFTv2 for lora training noob. it doesnt overfit to the style and is mostly coherent on unseen characters. or maybe its because the number of epochs is low, i usually do 3

Does anyone have configs to share for a wan or ltx lora? There are barely any resources for I2V loras.

I don't think Comfy has any reason to bother fixing traditional memory allocation with current superior method in place, so you gotta wait until (if) he implements dynamic memory for amd.

I don't know how finetuners train their models, but the real challenge is avoiding two types of narcissism:
-the ones who train for clout and overtrain their models on CivitAI slop,
-the ones who finetune based on whatever images they personally like while ignoring whether the model can actually do anything.

how do i become a professional diffuser?

I think I found a more objective way to judge whether a model is actually good or not, and that is by testing it with img2img without using ControlNet.
Bad or poor trained models tend to have various blind spots when come to seeing, interpret and transform an already existing image

And thats where after testing i realized that WAI 16 (SDXL) and Anima are the only two anime models that can reliably convert different kinds of realistic or semi realistic illustrations into anime without falling apart or showing blind spots.

All the other popular shitnerges merges, including Chenkin and Noob, have noticeable blind spots, whether in scene composition, background consistency, or worst of all, character positioning and body parts.

Noob variants struggle with img2img unless the input is already a clean anime style image. They do not understand fingers, they fail at rendering pupils, and they break down as soon as they are pushed outside the type of data they were trained on. That tells me these are still immature models.

Some might argue that these models were trained only on anime, and that trying to convert realistic images to anime through img2img is obviously not what they are meant for.
But that argument does not really hold up. This is exactly where Anima proves its value. It is a model trained specifically on anime, just like WAI, yet both are capable of adapting to almost any input image, regardless of style or scene. They see the img, they understand it, they reinterpret the input in anome way without falling apart and caring about the initial image.

>>108529640
There's been progress on AMD support, though I think it's currently waiting on a couple of external bugs to be fixed for it to work right.

Well, not being able to blend artist styles in quite the same way as SDXL is a pain in the ass. I'd like to reuse my prompts from when Noob was the hottest model here, but it's just not the same and you have to rewrite them. The seamless blending of styles was a side effect of Clip. Anima can blend styles, but it seems like one really dominates.

I think Noob still has better lighting and special effects, I use a fair amount of those. Depth of field, etc all that stuff.

Finally Anima is hitting a wall, finetuners and lora makers are quietly giving up on the model. Turns out when you build a model that forgets what it learned every time you try to update it, the community eventually stops trying.

Been using nvidia kimodo to create a dataset for motion matching in ue5.
Was really janky as first, but the more animation data I added to the set the better the NPCs moved around. Really cool watching them step and twist around smartly and all I did was throw a bunch of raw outputs into the dataset.

Kimodo is honestly really good, but I don't see it talked about much.

>>108531854
Ask claude to edit the script to run the text encoder on CPU or run it in FP8. That's the real vram hog, the motion itself is like a few gigs of vram at best and they are already run sequentially.

Unreal will happily take that with zero errors. You do need to get the skeleton into the engine though. I just parented a cube to one of the animations, imported it and then used the skeleton for ever subsequent import. After that, retargeting it to manny is simple.

Nta. It could be that the settings they try to use for the trainer for SDXL model simply do not work well with anima. I learned this the hard way whenever I try to fine-tune a style Lora with ai toolkit. The default settings are okay for flux models but it needs tweaking for SDXL models. The style works but the caveat is that it took several thousand steps in order to look somewhat accurate to the source data

It depends on the model and the style. The more "alien" the style is from the base model's capabilities, okay the more steps you need and in some cases you might even have to turn up the bad size or modify the gradient accumulation settings for it to actually stick. I've had loras take as few as 1,500 in as much as 12,000. Bye it's why you should use trainers that support sample images being generated every x amount of steps/epochs (bonus points if you can monitor loss values) in order to make sure it's actually working well. Pic rel is from an illustrious lora that only needed a few thousand but I let cook for 10,000 anyway just to make sure it didn't have any more room for improvement.

Character knowledge is not as good as SDXL anime models yet, anima needs more training. Anatomy can also be a bit wonky/stretched when generating at higher res due to the model being primarily trained at 512x512. The model isn't finished yet and there is little communication about it, so who knows when it will be done

So... Ani was right?

The style knowledge is vastly superior to anything SDXL
It can do much better text
But otherwise this anon >>108533130 is right

I don't see a scenario where something like this is even enjoyable. It works for a minute, then what?

I support whoever makes the best gens.
Noobtroons are what they are, but at least they fucking gen and there are model makers there who had to work hard to make their Noob finetunes, not like those who got $1 million from Comfy and made Anima from a Lamborghini.
Or did tdrusell have to resort to Patreon, Pixiv, or X to sell their gens just to fund their hard earned Anima? NO.
I’m local, I like anime, I gen, and the logical and right decision is to support other locals, others who like anime and others who gen.
Tdrusell does not meet any of those easy but essential requirements.
