>How can I help with the PPP?
Build datasets, train AIs, and use the AI to make more pony content. Take a look at the quick start guide for current active tasks, or start your own in the thread if you have an idea. There’s always more data to collect and more AIs to train.

>Did you know that such and such voiced this other thing that could be used for voice data?
It is best to keep to official audio only unless there is very little of it available. If you know of a good source of audio for characters with few (or just fewer) lines, please post it in the thread. 5.1 is generally required unless you have a source already clean of background noise. Preferably post a sample or link. The easier you make it, the more likely it will be done.

>What about fan-imitations of official voices?
No.

>Will you guys be doing a [insert language here] version of the AI?
Probably not, but you're welcome to. You can however get most of the way there by using phonetic transcriptions of other languages as input for the AI.

>What about [insert OC here]'s voice?
It is often quite difficult to find good quality audio data for OCs. If you happen to know any, post them in the thread and we’ll take a look.

>I have an idea!
Great. Post it in the thread and we'll discuss it.

I made an album recently that uses Delta's new RVC NG for the between-song dialogue. It's actually pretty nice, especially since it's actually possible to get more varied energy out of it for yelling and whispering and such, whereas the old RVC struggled with that. Old RVC is still on the singing though.

Can AI operate with flash/toonboom puppets yet? Because now it's clear that generating sloppy shit from scratch will never git gud.

>>43517328

Last bump.

>>43517853
ToonBoom has a product called Ember which integrates with Harmony and does some very limited AI stuff, like extending background images and generating scratch tracks (roughouts of character dialogue that you use for timing your animation until the professional voicework is done). As for 3rd-party AI integration with Toon Boom Harmony, I know nothing.

Nothing on MOSS for now, I've been noticing a lot of people could use something more lightweight for gamedev or other purposes, so last night I began developing a small non-autoregressive model (well, kind of semi-autoregressive because it uses GRUs -- you need some form of autoregression to model pony speech well). This one is 32M parameters.
GIF is on LJSpeech, very first test.

>>43519884
Really good to have news and Godspeed, Anon.

>>43519884
>you need some form of autoregression to model pony speech well
To expand on this point (history time!), I spent the better part of ~late 2023 trying to make a pony VITS, which always failed despite all the upgrades I stacked on it because it was entirely non-autoregressive and thus had no way of modeling how the speech changed over time. Oct 2023 I got a decent Tacotron 2 working with the predecessor of the alignment framework I'm using now: https://zdisket.github.io/conv-att-c/

>>43517853
>Can AI operate with flash/toonboom puppets yet?
You can spend the time training an AI to animate flash puppets (AFAIK it hasn't been done, yet.) Or, you could spend that time making animations yourself.

Very, VERY excited to use this for H:E. I think it'll be the default model shipped in the package if it's hyper-optimized for weaker graphics cards.

You know what I would love to see? some way for the specialized ai to operate characters inside Blender, since this one already has some python code integrated into it.

>https://u.pone.rs/cltgsbgu.mp4
On kind-but-not-exactly related note, the ai video stuff has really progressed since last two years, now instead of looking whenever somebody has an extra arm or morphs into part of the furniture in the background after few seconds, instead the telltale sign is just audio being weird and not matching what is happening in the video and contextually people just behaving weirdly when interacting with anything for longer than two seconds.
It's nice seeing the more tech literate normies using it to create cool shit, like the guy who is making a audiobook/drama continuation of the ST Voyager.

I think last open source music model was YaE (or some othe rshit with just three letters) from china. It has been a year so maybe there was so e improvements on makir it more useful but I do remember seeing early stara with "use 32GB to create 30s of music in just under 15m" .
Doesn't help that suno and other ai music services really suck balls now when trying to create a proper good sounding music with them. They always are pushing for pop like sounds for some reason.

This was the initial test, using the lowest quality models from minimax music3, the first clips I made was just 5 seconds and it took 2m50s to generate some instrumental (despite adding some text for it to sing), then I generated some 10s clip and that took about 12s to makes so clearly the early time was just from model taking its time to load up. For the 30s clip it took 39s to generate however I did noticed that the node set up will crop a second or two from the end of the generated clip, so now everything has additional 2 seconds added .
To load the int8 diffusion, text and vae models it took just about 20GB ram (how much vram? no fucking idea, my installation of linux decided to be a piece of shit and break whatever code that was able to monitor the vram use on my end).
Im now testing the mid tier models fp16 and I can see its already too 27.6 ram, its been 20 minutes and it looks like its only just about half way done.
Also one note, for whatever reason the comfyui MM3 nodes will not save the audio automatically, and when connecting to specialised mp3 nodes it will throw a pissy error about arrays not matching, so sadly it looks like I wouldn’t be able to just load up batch of 20 songs and let it run overnight (however, this could be just me problem, because I had yet to see anybody else complain about it)
>>43545343
on the windows I first tried doing some specific version (cant tell you which ones, it was ages ago) , but every time there was some update, modules just got over riden and things just randomly stop working. Above I was trying to use the premade zip environments that come from official website but as you seen that was unsuccessful.
As for my linux set up, I just downloaded the official appimage file and let it install whatever it needed to install to make it work. Other than audio not saving automatically it looks like it all works just fine.

>https://u.pone.rs/eauqqatx.mp3
...and it crashed, I guess using mid and high tier models for music generations will be limited to people with battlestation loaded with 16~32 Vram and 64Gb ram.
Im not planing on dumping all the music slop I may end up making in the thread, however now that I don't have the "you can only make X gened clips per day" hard limitation hanging over my head, I can finally look into some old musical projects.
Also I discovered that the audio files indeed are being saved, however insead of using the "output" file inside of its folder, like a normal program would have it set it, it created a "comfyui-shared/output" in the home directory, to dump all the files as flac. So at least that mystery was solved.

Have you worked with a node based workflow before anon?

So, ElevenLabs V4 came out and I think the instant cloning might be the new SOTA compared to MOSS-TTS-PNY. The voice is insanely accurate (about 95% accuracy compared to MOSS' 100%), with the remaining inaccuracies being slight enough for RVC to be more than capable of resolving. The emotional delivery and control is a substantial step change, too. The only issue rn is that Elevenlabs, even on the >$20 creator plan, still jews you out of lossless wav output format and limits you to 192kbps mp3.

Here's how it handles Pinkie, one of the hardest voices for TTS software to accurately depict: https://files.catbox.moe/fn48ru.mp3

i was able to get wav outputs too, for some reason

>>43548829
okay, listening to it again, i think SOTA is overdoing it. MOSS still mogs for now, but I think a combination of MOSS for more prosaic lines and 11labs for the more adventurous and complex lines is the ideal.

>>43548742
No, this is my first time messing around with confyui (with exception of trying to run some image stuff like a year ago). The only changes to the original that I made was editing the MM3 main note to output the seed, and download some GitHub that converts the INT to text so I could use the seed numtas part of the file name .

>>43548829
>>43549146

These are amazing, way beyond anything I ever imagined would be possible way back when PPP started. Even if it's in the hands of the Jews for now it's super encouraging to hear this level of quality, especially if it doesn't require a reference voice recording as input.

A few words got pronounced pretty badly (bureaucratic, requirement), and I expected the last sentence to close the song completely (instrumentals already closing at "Raise your glass to Pissfilly").
Maybe some anon could rewrite the lyrics a bit so it flows better.

>>43559281
Yeah, there are some problems with the two generated test pieces were it swapped few sentences around. I feel like its good chance its caused by the use of the low tier int8 model, sadly I don't have a 24gb vram to test out the large minimax 3 music models to compare the quality (some Anons on /g/ stated that it has clearly reach the same quality as suno outputs from last year).

I actually made an AI album as a personal joke to shitpost about a friend once. I didn't do any fancy AI vocal changing shit, was just raw on Udio, but re-genning over and over again to get the sound I wanted took absolute ages. Granted, it all depends on what kind of AI usage you're talking about. If it's more like what BGM and Vul do it's basically just normal music composition with AI vocals.

>>43566409
>>43566056
I was thinking more along of picking a fic (or even better, a green text), chop it up into story element pieces and let ones Anons write the lyrics for these parts of the story + provide references of what the vibes they are going with and people with good GPU (or willing to have struggle session with online services) could generate the music with AI models, and from there it's going to be standard vocal/instrumental separation and conversion with Rvc/sovit/Delta models to pony voice.

Rarity is the least accurate here by a mile. Doesn't capture the modulation or intonation of her voice at all. Her voice dips and rises, and her median is much lower than this, giving it that velvety texture. She's stuck at a ~80-85% of her high here.

It could be possible with the audio clip clone option select the specific season/episode version if the voice of a pony, I'm pretty sure someone did that with Sweetie Bell doing her squeaky voice in S1-S2.

I haven't checked in with you guys in years. I just wanna say I appreciate all your hard work.

which models are the fastest? I want to make a Semi-real-time text reader I'm okay with it sounding a little bit shit compared to the best ones

>>43595298
There was someone in /chag/ posting a model that was pretty fast, Delta model is petty fast but due to my pc problems Im not able to test how easy/hard is to make it work locally.
For a theoretical use, this model >>43530442 has option for voice cloning, so it could be possible to use longer clips of mane6 to copy their voices and have them speak at 3* real time speed.
Alternatively there was that REALLY old "DeltaVox RS plus 136 speaker" thats just simple text to speech BUT that one is bit annoying in use since the dictionary on how words need to be spoken in locked in and naturally ponies tend to pronounce things in a very retarded way for some reason.

not a problem, I kind of fear that with all the pushing for advancement for whatever is newest and shinnies tech we may potentially loose some diamonds in the rough. Like I would love to be able to have mane6 run on the same tech as Microsoft Sam, however from the looks of it trying to wrangle SAPI voice set up into anything useful is next to impossible (or at least M$ is super stingy with sharing any info about it), which is shame because I feel like a lot of old tech like this could be perfect to somehow integrate into a single program on phone and have an instant mare-in-a-pocket.

>>43601740
They're still that protective over that old tech?

>>43604721
More like they used to be protective for it, but now its kind of abandoned and since none of their code monkies had made archives of the production process, it's now partol of forgotten technologies, just like Roman concrete.
Maybe some of them still have the how-to-do instructions on some old laptop that's sitting at the bottoms of a huge pile of e-waste but who knows, at this point it would probably be easier to recreate the tech, or make something that works on similar principles.

Looks like I was bit wrong (maybe?), I dont really understand the whole SAPI stuff so I asked the copilot to explain it to me, the above is bit of a mess since copy paste to text didnt work so well but at least it kind of pointing into the right direction, such as that there are API docs from microsoft websites (im looking at one for sapi 5.1 and that huge bitch is a 3k page pdf).
The first wiki link here suggest there are existing tts engines that can be used to get the custom sapi 5 voices working, the most interesting one looks to be the RHVoice, since its open source and they state they have versions that can work on windows, linux and android.
So not a lot of how-to-do-it, but at the same time its not a complete information black hole either.

Turns out LTX 2.5 is pretty mare capable despite not being fine-tuned or LoRA'd on show data and other mare related content (yet).

In my experimenting, I've been referring to these as "Gibbermares" as they often speak gibberish when not specifically told what to say. So far it seems pretty useful, especially for emotional vocal delivery. Although in its raw state, the accuracy is really only consistent with the Mane 6 and Starlight (kinda), it struggles with other mares and even Spike.

All audio in the following clips are unmodified; no passes through RVC or the like.

Forgot to mention that mares of this accuracy were mostly done via i2v (Frame to Video) which is preferred for optimal style and character adherence; more than t2v anyway.

UVR5 was my go-to as well, but kept breaking too many times for me and was awkward to process multiple files. So now I just use audio-separator and use the following .sh script to separate files. Keep in mind this bash script was made for my own system, Linux Mint, so might need to be modified accordingly.

Ask the AI of your choice on how to setup audio-separator, install the models with audio-separator, etc.

Sadly, no, it was just me messaging about with te minimax prompts , which annoying I did not saved. I may try to recreate it to get something that kind of sound similar to it but it's gonna be up to the rng gods of ai generating to see how close it will sound to that version.

I dont really follow all the animation models so far, do you happen to know how much of the new stuff that come out depends on providing it with a reference image(s) and how much can just generate things from just internal training?

>how much of the new stuff that come out depends on providing it with a reference image(s)
I've only really tested LTX 2.5 so far due to the rising evidence there's plenty of 2D animation in its dataset. Whereas the rest of the are too "buh the realism" to be that useful for mares unless trying to get a Pony IRL type stuff. As with any AI, the more information you give it the more it'll understand and try to better predict the desired outcome, but can also constrain the creativity.

>how much can just generate things from just internal training
It certainly is capable of understanding and generating G4 mares with a well structured prompt even with t2v. Unfortunately with a lot of 3D bias present with the mode the amount of G5 garbage nudged me to focus on i2v instead, which makes it at least 95% less likely to generate 3D mares, and instead adhere to the show's style. Additionally because the style and identity is interpreted from an image rather than text, the character names and style is less likely to leak into the dialogue. The amount of times I heard mares say "Friendship is Magic 2" or reading the prompt word for word in character

Here's some of the first generations I tried with t2v type generation:

>https://mare.by/0LxwC2G2.webm
>https://mare.by/9gVdXOkl.webm

Also randomly got a full on Peppa Pig generation when the prompt contained only pony; there's apparently a lot of data of that too that will need to be biased away from.

Holy shit these are amazing, kek. The constant "Friendship is Magic 2" like it was the only word they knew how to say is hilarious and I love how it just shat out Peppa Pig for no reason.

Recently major upgrade. Primarily to do these types of generations. Also to get back into training RVC mares locally and some secondary non-mares (Protectron from FO4, etc).
Upgraded to an RTX 5060 TI (16GB), and downgraded my MOBO to DDR4 so I can make use the cheap 64GBs of T-Force RAM (3200MHz CL16)

The fucking editing like it was it's own slop anthology was amazing.

Ponk's BLUBLUBLUBLUBLUB at 2:03 into the transition of her, like, getting split in half fucking sent me, as well as the dumb Twilight stare with the buzzing at 7:05. Very very fun watch, I really liked the gentle humorous analog horror thing you went for like you were watching fucked up half-baked windows into Equestria or something deranged. Thanks for taking the time to make it. Did you make the transitions yourself? They're very fun, gives the whole thing fantastic presentation beyond it just being weird slop outputs.

>gentle humorous analog horror thing you went for
The idea went from needing fillers between clips of the compilation -> finding generic white noise boring -> feeling nostalgic and wanting to replicate the bygone era. In the end found it fun to blend the technologies of the past and future; Synthetic mares captured on magnetic tape. Growing up in the analog times definitely helped, there's plenty of now relic tech I miss from then.

>Did you make the transitions yourself?
Kind of. These VHS effect transitions were all generated via Google's Flow (Omni 1.1 specifically). In part because the effects I tried to generate in WanAlpha were complete ass. Omni has a lot of style adherence and variety to get good effects, as well as enough mare knowledge to have them present with decent accuracy. Also moderately accurate with smaller details like Cutie Marks and matching FIM's visual style.

It however isn't as good at full mare clips however because of a number of factors: Either it doesn't know their voices or it forcibly replaces the audio because censorship. Generations offered through online services will never have the privacy and file management of local gens. Omni uses limited Flow credits and is proprietary/closed, whereas LTX is open-source, can generate mares endlessly and flexibly, and can be fine-tuned for further refinement. To get the most out of it, you'd have to pay; but even without a subscription everyone gets 50 credits daily, which is enough for 7 x 360p clips of 10s each. So the math works out for visual effects and transitions but not for anything usable for long form content. I get about 40 good VHS transitions per 70 credits. Which is all I currently need it for.

Man, someone alerted me to this video and apparently this is AI? It gets the art style near perfectly, and not only that, the personalities in the animation is on point, too. I legit thought this was made by a person because Pinkie was so perfectly Pinkie in the way she was moving and expressing herself.

author said it was made using Higgsfield Genjutsu, you need a subscription and it's proprietary so you can't run this locally anyway.

Oh shit kek my bad I should have stated, 'cuz I know. Seedance 2 did some pretty impressive ponies as well so maybe it's not that big of a surprise, but, yeah - for me moreso it's cool seeing the proprietary stuff getting ahead because the local stuff is usually trailing behind by only a year or two.

Late response as I forgot to reply, but shit, thanks for sharing, this is really interesting. I had a buddy sub to the high tier subscription when Omni first dropped and was blowing everyone's mind, but it's cool to hear more about it.
Also if you don't mind me asking, what was the prompting for the VHS transitions? And did you ask for it to make multiple VHS transitions within a longer video or did you just make clips individually, or what? If Omni has free credits daily I might play around with it a bit as I love video gen.

also wew, went to go test out Omni 1.1 and the LLM hallucinated that it could use audio references for some reason, so I went and generated some memey pony audio in hopes it could get better voices

but alas, I got a few sentences all put together in Audacity and exported only for it to say it couldn't actually use them, jej
