ForgeUI Setup
People have asked me how I have setup the AI I have been using for Monstergirls so I am going to share the guide I followed to set mine up originally. Everything below this is copied from the guide I found:
----------------
Alright you fuckers, I know I promised you guys on how to download and install your own image generation awhile back, so now I'm delivering that to you guys now! I'm going to be making this as consumable as possible because some of you fucks are smooth brained.
BEFORE YOU CONTINUE!!!
The following things are a MUST
- An NVIDA RTX 2000 series or greater [minimum of at least 6G VRAM] (probably can get away with a 1000 series)
NOTE: There is a workaround with AMD graphics card, but that is NOT todays focus
- At least 200 gigs of free space
Pretty much, if you can install CoD right now and have some wiggle room, you're probably good. Reason why is that some of file sizes later on can be LARGE
- Active/junk email
This will be required to download models for generation
Once you have all the requirements, you are set!
NOTE: This will be for WINDOWS installation, Linux and Mac users... Tough shit
The first thing you have to do is download GIT, It's stupid easy to install. Just click next all the way through. Don't fuck with the setting during installation, just let it do it's thing.
Just go to Google and type in
"download forge ui"
Once there look at the below image and find where its pointing the red arrow and click it.
There are only TWO things you need to do in order to run this properly
Your first step is to click on UPDATE. Once you click it, a CMD window will pop up, DO NOT CLOSE IT!!! This will install the latest update to the WebUI.
For Step 2, click RUN, again, DO NOT CLOSE THE CMD!!! Closing the CMD will cause the session to end and won't be able to do a damn thing!
NOTE: For fist time installation, it will be installing A LOT of things! If it appears that it's "frozen"... it is NOT, just leave it alone and let it do it's thing. It'll run through it.
While the CMD is downloading the necessary files, use the time to download your models. On CIVIAI, you are kinda required to make an account to download models especially NSFW ones. This is where your email comes in. Once you are logged in, you can start downloading all the models you want. For this instance, we will be starting with WAI-NSFW-illustrious-SDXL. This is a good starter to experiment with anime (or furry) waifus.
Hard Drive space will become an issue the more that you download since the smallest models are at least 6.5 gigs, so they start to stack up the more that you download.
Where you will be placing the models will be here:
...\webuiforgecu121_torch231\webui\models\Stable-diffusion
Now if a window pops up on your web browser that is what you see in the above image, CONGRATS, YOU DIDN'T FUCK UP! You have successfully installed FORGE UI!
It may look intimidating at first, but you only need to mess with a few things, I took the liberty to color code each thing and will explain how to use them
Color code
- Type of model
For this example, it will be an XL, so toggle that. Vast majority of models will be XL. sd has somewhat become obsolete as they are lower quality models, but can be used if you are willing to deal with that. flux are the HIGHEST quality image models that you can download off of CIVIAI, but require at least 16 gigs of VRAM and the models are at minimum 22 gigs to download so it's not recommended for lower end computers unless you like waiting around for 10 mins for a single image...
- Checkpoints
This is where you will find all the checkpoints you have downloaded (provided you placed them in the right folder...) since we have a starter model, it will be WAI-NSFW-illustrious-SDXL as shown
- Positive and Negative Prompts
This will be your bread and butter to generate what you WANT to see and what you DON'T want to see. Most models DON'T understand natural language, so putting in. I will give an example later on
- Sampling method
There are A LOT of sampling methods, but in my personal take, you only need to know two. The one that you see in box 4 and Euler a. For WAI-NSFW-illustrious-SDXL, we will be using Euler a
- Schedule type
Just like the Sampling method, there are A LOT. Usually the most common one to use is Karras as you see in the box. You can experiment with Scheduler as it doesn't harshly impact the image
NOTE ON 4&5: Some models require specific Sampling and Schedule type, so make sure that you read the model descriptions of the things that you are downloading to get quality images!!!
- Sampling steps
Pretty much works like a "quality control". You can start off with 20 for speed at first, but will lack quality. Higher steps means that it will take longer to generate, but the quality will be better. A good range for most models is 25-50. However, cranking that shit up to the max DOES NOT MEAN top tier quality! It can actually fuck up your whole image and make horrors beyond belief!
- Width & Height
Pretty self explanatory, but I will note that there are some models that pretty much require that it has to be a specific way in order to generate quality models. I don't know the specifics on why, but it probably has to do with how the model was trained. Usually, I just leave it as is, and you can swap between portrait and landscape by clicking the up/down arrows right next to it.
Now that I've properly explained the BASELINE of this, let's jump into HOW TO PROMPT
Above is NOT the way on how to prompt images. Although the image came out good, there is a method on how to properly prompt
This model in specific uses Danbooru/Gelbooru tags, so if you know popular tags, this should come with ease, if not, here is my personal way of prompting.
[quality tags], [character(s)], [body type, clothes, and action type], [time/location], [background setting]
So I will be putting down the following prompt:
masterpiece, best quality, amazing quality, hi res, absurd res, 1girl, happy, middle finger, huge breasts, topless, neon green thong, neon purple room
So, now that you downloaded ForgeUI, you probably have a lot of questions on how to use a lot of things. Not to worry, I'll be going more in depth on how to use Forge effectively.
First order of business, adding weight to a word, pretty much what this means is that if you want more of "something" you have to let Forge know that you want more emphases of that word. For this example, we are going to have a kobold here have huge breasts.
Processing img ll0f0w9edpsf1...
Looks good, but lets just say that the mods are gay and the kobold in question is too "flat chested". Well not to worry, all you have to do is highlight the word of your desire, hold Ctrl+UP to add more weight to it! Now I generated a few kobolds to make her chest...
Look at those milkers!!! You can use Ctrl+UP/DOWN to add/decrease weight to a word, this can work in both positive and negative prompts, so if your generation didn't come out the way you envisioned, you can add/decrease weight to words.
To give an example, the desired work will look like (huge breasts:1.5) when pressing Ctrl+up to add more emphasis to it. To add less emphasis, all you have to do is press Ctrl+down to subtract emphasis to it and it will look like (huge breasts:0.5). Adding/subtracting emphasis to words will go in increments of 0.1 so you can fiddle around with weights as you see fit. It can also work in batches of words too like (huge breasts, huge ass, small waist, wide hips:1.5) instead of highlighting word after word.
To end this, we are gonna be installing an extention to autocomplete some words for you. Why? because I know some of you guys are lazy sacks of shit and want to spend less time typing and more time beating your meat.
Click on where the fucking big red arrow is telling you and install the autocomplete tags. What this extension does is gives you a list of tags that are pulled from Danbooru, Gelbooru, E621, and others that I don't remember. Pretty much whatever you type, it will give you a list of suggestions from you to choose from and even correct some tags for you. This will help prompt with ease and get a little bit understanding on how prompts are placed.
Enjoy your Waifus everyone!
