Will this work on Mac M1?
Sorry I don't have a mac to test it, but didn't see something that says supports Mac, so probably not yet
@@pixaroma OK tnx
You should probably put these links in the video description. It's way more likely to be noticed.
when i open run.bat it says couldnt install pip, can you please help?
I have been looking for a tutorial like this for months. You have a real talent for this tutorial style and I HIGHLY encourage you to keep making these videos. Information is packed and logically flowing from one point to the next. Subscribed!
Thank you for showing more than just the installation like customizing the ui and settings :-)
This was exactly what I needed to get started. This is perfection and I can't thank you enough for your work. Bless you man.
Best video on SD Forge on youtube. great contribution to the community!
Thank you very much! Loved how clear you brought everything across! Definitely am gonna hang around here :)
Great walkthrough! Just switched over from EasyDiffusion and Forge is a massive improvement in regard to generation speed.
HOLY COW! I've been using A1111 (and now Forge) for a year, so by now I know most of these "hacks", but I wish a video so clear and so thorough existed when I was starting my journey. I even picked up a new nugget here and there. Bravo! Subscribed. And Saved.
Thank you ☺️
Thank you so much! Now i can make clear and sharp pictures with the settings you've provided, once again, tysm!
Duuuude!! So detailed, thank you!! Not hush hush, like well done on your style of explaining. Amazing
Incredible and informative! Well done. Thank you so much for the video.
Watched 10 videos about SD Forge install, but your is the best, Quick to the point, super useful tips for beginners, you even say what to do if it crashes.
Thank you, glad it helped ☺️
Do you know minimum hardware requirements?
Nvidia video card, 6gb of vram tested, possible work with 4gb of vram but not sure
@@pixaroma It works with 4gb :)
holy shit!!! didnt know where the controlnet files where suppose to go was tryin to use on forge. vid help alot thanks!!!!
excellent guide! subscribed!
Very interesting. Good to know there is also another interface
This was VERY helpful, thanks"
most helpful video on AI to ever exist give this guy an award please, very helpful saved me hours thankyou :)
Great job keep up the good work
Great tips, thanks!
Thank You! Brilliant👍
Very helpful, i will be watching all the videos in this playlist, thanks! BTW what do you use for your voice It's great.( If it's not a trade secret that is)
The voice is from VoiceAir ai, they have it from eleven labs from what i know , i got a lifetime deal a while back
Great tutorial, thanks
Thank you ☺️
This was excellent!!!!!
You should definitely meet your goal with this video!!
Thank you ☺️
@@pixaroma do you use an app to get the time stamps?
Like the chapters on the CZcams? I use tubebuddy
Nice video and tricks bro, thanks!

✨👌🙂🤗🙂👍✨
bro you awesome, thanks
I like A1111 but I have found more performance in forge, I must say that you are very good at explaining, excellent video!
Thank you, yeah for me forge is faster and didn't crash like a1111 :)
Does it crash more or less often? I've been using A1111 for a while now, but it feels like it's been crashing more and more. Especially with SDXL models.
Since i switched to forge it didn't crash at all, only when i used control net ceashed if i didn't use image size divisible with 64 @@edouarddubois9402
@@pixaroma When you say image size, you mean the actual resolution?
The width and height of the image, sometimes i got that error when the size was not divisible with 64, but mostly when i used some extensions@@edouarddubois9402
Thank You So Much - Bro 😍
You are welcome ☺️
Niice, thanks for sharing
great video! thanks very much. quick question, do you use tts for narration? If so, it's incredible, may I ask which one? I've been trying to find something decent for my videos. Cheers :)
Is called voiceair they have the voices from elevenlabs
thanks alot! I'll have a look at it@@pixaroma
Thanks for your video! I installed Forge yesterday (no stranger to A1111 here), but thought I'd check out a video or 2. For preferred defaults, I've been editing ui-config.json. Didn't realise there was a more straightforward method via settings haha! Dark mode is so much easier on the eye. I set it at browser level so that all pages appear dark, then display settings > high contrast in Windows (7, 8, 10, 11) will give dark mode OS-wide. Thanks for the heads up on SDXL styles and how its extra prompting works. 2 more extensions I use that might help is CivitAI Browser+ which integrates CivitAI into A1111/Forge, and ADetailer (After Detailer) which is an automatic in-paint utility that tidies up facial features and I find this better than GFPGAN and CodeFormer. Your 7-second image generation near the start of your video took 17 seconds for me with the same settings, coming from an RTX 3070 here. You covering file naming was very helpful too as I wanted to add the denoising value to the file names, and use a suffix instead of file numbers :-)
glad it helped :) I use rtx4090 so that why the generation was faster. Referring to styles check the latest videos i have one with 260 art styles :)
@@pixaroma Thanks. I have found what you meant + subscribed
great info. Also a quick tip, below the image there is a button to upscale using hires fix, just a quicker way to do it. 09:25 I think that option is new with Forge, wasn't in A1111
Thank you, yeah I didnt notice that :) good tip
Thanks!
Hello, really great tutorial. I have a question I want to use the 4xVALAR upscaler but have no idea where to put it. Could you please answer if you have an idea in what folder exactly it should be.
Go to your webui\models folder and there create a folder named ESRGAN, so you will have webui\models\ESRGAN path, and in that ESRGAN you put that upscaler model. That worked for me, hope it works for you.
Thankyou for this tutorial! ❤Do I need the automatic 1111 stable diffusion installed to be able to install forge? I have the oldest version of automatic 1111 installed and I hvnt used it or upgraded it as I cudnt keep up with the every new update and other troubleshooting issues as I hv zero knowledge of programming language 😢
You don't need to have it installed it for forge to work, is different UI similar to Automatic, you just install it in different folder
Thanks again for the video! I have a question. Will this model work on my video card if it is only 8 GB? and if not, what options can you recommend?
I tested on 6gb and worked, only control net give me some crashed, but other things worked for me, faster then automatic that took ages. It worth a try, and if you dont like it how it work you can just delete the folder with all files. But i believe you can use most of the functions, if automatic1111 works this should work even faster
Wow! Thank you so much, I'll experiment. @@pixaroma
hi my installed Sd forge doesn't have the update.bat file. Is there anyway to update SD forge without the file? Maybe by adding arguments to look for an update?
It should have it there next to run. In the folder you extracted not in the webui folder
It should be noted, for those who stumbled upon this like I did without knowing any better, that this method only works for nVidia graphics cards. WebUI uses CUDA, which is a proprietary API specifically for nVidia...meaning if you don't have their drivers, you can't natively run Web UI.
Luckily there are forks that exist that do work for AMD Radeon cards, but you'll have to jump through a few more hoops than what is shown here in order to install, and it probably won't run quite as fast as it does on nVidia cards.
I'm new to this Stable Diffusion GUI. Experienced people can you please answer is this Forge WebUI is better than Fooocus MRE? If Yes, then in what parameters is it better? Thanks!
You can have both installed and play around, just put it on a different folder. It has more options and extension then fooocus from what i know
My built-in controlnet's IP-Adapter is missing its models, and thus, doesn't work. Any ideas? I wanted to install them manually, but the library is different, and so are the files.
Forge still has some problems with control net, check this discussion maybe it helps github.com/lllyasviel/stable-diffusion-webui-forge/discussions/178#discussioncomment-8572388
Little question: did anyone have a problem with LyCORIS models on Forge? I'm using Forge through Stability Matrix, and no matter how I load -- from my computer or Matrix's models loader -- it just doesn't show up in Lora's tab. And when I load it in Lora's folder, it doesn't work correctly.
I didnt use lycoris yet, but I hope someone can help you with an answer . Is it possible that forge it still has some bugs
What if you use both 1.5 and XL checkpoints? Do you have to keep manually changing the FreeU settings everytime? Also with Hypertile, should the tile size be half of the generated dimensions longest side? what if I am usijng x2 hires fix, should it be half the size of the hires fix? What does the hypertile swap size and depth settings do? and is there a way like in SDNext to have hypertile set to automatic mode?
I don't use those settings too be much to give you more details, i know that for control net you have to manually keep changing models, 1.5 is different from sdxl so it needs different models and settings
@@pixaroma yes that's to be expected for control net as 1.5 and xl use different model. That's easily done. What's not easily done is having to remember the precise settings for freeU for 1.5 and xl. Can't believe there is no preset option to load these on the fly. I also am disappointed that there is no auto mode for hypertile tile size. Damn, all these different UIs should come together and make one ultimate ui
So, in the arguments section where you put the dark theme I can add:
--pin-shared-memory
--cuda-malloc
--cuda-stream
For optimization, right?
Thanks for the video!
Yes, i tried all those as forge suggested but didn't make it faster on my rtx4090 but slower, maybe it does better for you but for me with bo argument was faster
@@pixaroma gonna try it on my 4080.
It's not working. Is it really on web-ui.bat file that I should put the arguments?
is in the webui-user.bat look for set COMMANDLINE_ARGS= and there after equal you add it, like I added the dark theme you add more, set COMMANDLINE_ARGS=--theme dark --cuda-stream
thanks for the controlnet section I got stumped on where to put the models. Edit: can anybody help me with LORA models, I paste them in the LORA folder but FORGE doesnt seem to detect them
i just tested now with a file and seems to be recognized, webui\models\Lora so the folder is Lora, and after you past it there you go to lora in the interface and refresh the page or just restart the stable diffusion so it can see it
How do I add the "ip-adapter_face_id_plus" preprocessor for IP-Adapter? It's not in Forge. "ip-adapter_face_id_plus" working better then "InsightFace+CLIP-H (IPAdapter)"
someone said that the name are different, check this page discussion github.com/lllyasviel/stable-diffusion-webui-forge/discussions/178
I use forges deforum tab to create animations. I would like to know how to create the animations within a boundary. I projection map so I would like to know how to keep the animations within the map of my house. Would you know how to accomplish this? I have a png map file that I created but unsure what to use it with.
TIA
Sorry, I didn't play yet with deforum, so i can't help there yet, I like to create HQ images and the video and animation isn't quite there yet, i am waiting for an improvement before i jump in to it
I have problem with launching Web UI (1:42). "Found no NVIDIA drivers on your system..." Am i able to run it on rx 580 8gb?
I think it only works with Nvidia Video Card for now, that is why it says it didn't find a driver
Thank you so much. Can it be installed in collab as well as fooocus?
I am not sure, maybe someone else can answer that
@@pixaromathank you, hope that some one can answer. I don't have the requested performance machine to do local installation, so that will give me a great help. why I'm asking? it's just for the seamless pattern setting that exists in the models presented. this capability isn't offered right now in fooocus witch is easily accessible with colab.
Trying to use symbolic links for Forge since I have about 80 models and 180 loras, but it just doesn't seem to see the folder. Wondering if you could help on that.
Doesn't work if you copy and paste the link, make sure you reverse the slash symbol instead of \ should be this / , try that replacing the simbol in all the path and see if works, and you need to remove the @REM in front of it. you edit the webui-user.bat
Hmm, i replied a few hours ago but not seems to missing my comment. How did you tried to add the path with copy paste? You need to switch the backslash forward slash / \ when you copy the link is in one sign but in the bat is other, also remove that rem in front
Nice! Thank you. But unfortunately ControlNET is dead in this built.
For me works if the image size, width and height is divisible with 64
I wanted to ask, I have models and loras in my fooocus folder. is it possible to copy and paste them to the appropriate forge folders? Or do I have to redownload them from civitai? ORRR...(is there a better way to have these models linked from my fooocus to my forge folder that could help on saving space on my cpu)...... I rather not redownload them or copy the file over so i dont fill up my harddrive.
I am adding a few hours a tutorials for forge, and how to link the automatic folder to forge, probably you can do something similar with the fooocus paths. I dont have focus to test it but it worked with the path of automatic1111. Also if you have it once you just copy them in the right location no need to redownload them.
thank you for the reply! I wonder if it will work linking fooocus folder to forge..i guess it is worth a try. ANy idea when your vid will be dropping for that so I can keep an eye out for it?@@pixaroma
I just added it like an hour ago, look for the thumbnail with under the hood in the title with an engine
please i got this error when i started run.bat
C:\Users\moor\stable-diffusion-webui-forge>python launch.py
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "C:\Users\moor\stable-diffusion-webui-forge\launch.py", line 1, in

ImportError: cannot import name 'launch_utils' from 'modules' (C:\Users\moor\AppData\Roaming\Python\Python310\site-packages\modules.py)
Not sure what is with error, but what you can try is to create a folde on another drive and try again fresh maybe can make it run, I don't know coding but looks like can not important a file, maybe something didn't download or is a bug, that why I say to try a fresh install in another folder
Using RUN I got the following error: "Torch is not able to use GPU: add --skip-torch-cuda-test to COMMANDLINE_ARGS variable to disable this check"
Does this mean my GPU will not work for this? I have a GTX 1660 Ti with 6GB GDDR6. Not a new card, but it's getting me by. No good?
I am not sure, try to add what they recommend, add --skip-torch-cuda-test to COMMANDLINE_ARGS, so copy --skip-torch-cuda-test and then open the webui-user.bat with notepad and paste it there after the equal sign, where it says set COMMANDLINE_ARGS=, should be set COMMANDLINE_ARGS= --skip-torch-cuda-test and see if that works. For me it worked on 6gb vram but was on rtx4090, is still a new UI so it might still have bugs.
I received same error and tried suggested command. Restarted run.bat and got new error saying no NVIDIA driver on your system. Makes sense because I have AMD video card. Simply put this is only for NVIDIA users.
Thanks for the great video. One question here; does Forge works with AMD GPU ? Or it only run with Nvidia GPU ?
From what I know it search for Nvidia driver so no it doesnt work, many fail to load on AMD, i saw one commenting somewhere that got it to run on amd one UI called SD.Next by Vladmandic
@@pixaromathanks for the reply. i will check it out. much appreciated
What if I just want it to use my A1111 folders for checkpoints and VAE/embeddings/loras and all that jazz?
I explain that in this video starting with minute 3 43 czcams.com/video/q5MgWzZdq9s/video.htmlsi=WOTQNXWSwiwWBkU6&t=223 in your forge folder you have webui folder and there is a webui-user.bat file where you can put the a1111 paths, just have to switch backslash with forward slash
@@pixaroma Thanks a bunch for the response, priceless advice! That slash part was pretty important lol.
Where should we put lora files? There is no lora folder in models
You should have a folder for lora, look at this video how i download and where i put them czcams.com/video/q5MgWzZdq9s/video.htmlsi=nKX2enJ7KPEAoGIF
8:37 yes it same cute cat we see everywhere. its picture on model. so far nothing havent AI
:)
Thank you very much! I tried it. It can generate and download images, but the window that shows the generated image does not work. What should I do?
I am not sure, can you join my Facebook group and you can you show me maybe some screenshots or post there to take a look, do you get any errors or what it looks like
Go to settings and paths for saving. Set save file paths (output dirs) to full paths, like C:\pathtoyourimagedir
It worked! Thank you very much!!@@Dark_Lobster
Out of curiosity are you using an AI voice tool or is this your real voice? Some crisp amazing voice if its all you :D
Yeah I am using a voice from voiceair.ai , my voice is ok but my spoken English is not so good and the accent is too strong, I am better with writing, that why that voice can produce a clear English and anyone can understand me, and sounds good for an AI voice.
Great stuff. Is it possible to run it on AMD?
From what i know it needs Nvidia, so not at the moment
which GPU do you recommend for the lower budget?
Any Nvidia rtx that you can afford, more VRAM the better. Minimum 6-8 GB of vram, but if you can get more you will generate faster
How big size is the file? 60GB without model? And each model is around 3GB or 30GB?
I am not sure about the total size, but usually a sdxl model is 6gb and a 1.5 model is around 2gb.
What TTS model/software are you using?
VoiceAir ai, they have the voices from elevenlabs
How do I share existing models on A1111 with forge?
You can edit the forge bat file i explained in this video czcams.com/video/q5MgWzZdq9s/video.htmlsi=VQDUDjPvi256KCps
I did run.bat, it showed runtimeerror: Torch is not able to use GPU, what happened?
Either your video card is not good enogh or forge dont recognize it, I am a designer not a coder, but you can try this in webui-user.bat add the following arguments to see if it works, it need at least 6gb of vram and prefers nvidia cards but try it anyway:
set COMMANDLINE_ARGS=--skip-torch-cuda-test --precision full --no-half
I see someone already posted taht on the bugs area, you can watch that to see if it gets any response if nothing else works, github.com/lllyasviel/stable-diffusion-webui-forge/issues
It don't mess with the normal AUTO installation, it use his own ENV?
Yeah you can have both it doesn't mess with a1111 or others
For some reason when I'm using img2img it spits out something that looks demorphed and blotchy or at a worse quality. Any tips?
Try to put VAE at automatic or none, also try different models and samplers.to.see if that fix it, try random seeds, also try updating the forge, see if any of those can fix it, is hard to tell what can be the cause you have to keep trying different things to see what cause it
@@pixaroma Thanks, I'll try that. It works decent with Automatic1111.
I installed a couple days ago, and when I try to render images, it shuts down my pc, which hasn't happened with MRE or A1111
this is on a 3060
That is strange, you can try report the issue on their page github.com/lllyasviel/stable-diffusion-webui-forge/issues maybe is a bug and so how it used the video card to much and make it crash, but that should not happen. I only tested on 2 computers, and i didnt had a problem on rtx2060 or rtx4090. Try an update in a few days maybe is get fixed. I wish I can help you more, but I am a designers not a programmer, I just share how to use new technology to get images with Ai, when is come to actual code, and bugs if it didnt happened to me not sure how to tell you a fix :(
Greetings, it shows CUDA stream activated: False in cdm does it affect this Stable Difussion? If I have to also activate CUDA how do I do that?
Mine is off also, can be activated with some command in the bat, I tried but made my generation slower not faster so i left it deactivated, it appears as suggestions on the cmd window when you start and there is also a command I think, i don't remember now, just i know activated was slower for me
You solved the problem I was actually worried about the output speed. So I don't have to worry about CUDA but the internet connection, it should be sometimes fast sometimes slow which affects the output speed. Thanks for the tutorial above.
I have Forge installed via Pinokio but it doesn't look anything like this. Can I install this standalone version on a drive other than my C: drive?
You can install on any drive, i have on D mine, you just create a folder where you want and put the installation files there and run it
@@pixaroma Cheers! I'll give it a go, as no tutorials seem to match the Pinokio version
1. Is there any performance drop if I don't install it on C drive?
2. My C drive is SSD and D drive is HDD. Can I still install on D drive? Will I face any performance difference or issues?
Can anyone tell me which config file(s) need to be changed on Linux(Ubuntu) so I can point to an already existing venv folder, and model directories?
I want to run this alongside A1111, which is pretty much working fine except that when I uncomment the line in the config file to point to my venv folder it still creates a new venv folder in it's install directory instead of using my existing venv folder.
Same with models, I can't seem to find anywhere to change where forge looks for it's model files?
To have all the models from the Automatic1111 in forge you do like this on Windows (I dont know how is for linux and others but maybe is something similar):
Edit or open with notepad the webui-user.bat
look for where it says
@REM set A1111_HOME=Your A1111 checkout dir
and from there down remove all the @REM you can find, that will uncomment those lines
first line should look like this
set A1111_HOME=D:/StableDiffusion/sdwebui/webui
for me that is the path of Automatic1111 D:/StableDiffusion/sdwebui/webui notice the slash, you need to change it, because when you copy and paste your path will look like this D:\StableDiffusion\sdwebui\webui\ and you need to change the slash to look like this D:/StableDiffusion/sdwebui/webui
so you should have now in that bat something like this:
set A1111_HOME=D:/StableDiffusion/sdwebui/webui
set VENV_DIR=%A1111_HOME%/venv
set COMMANDLINE_ARGS=%COMMANDLINE_ARGS% ^
--ckpt-dir %A1111_HOME%/models/Stable-diffusion ^
--hypernetwork-dir %A1111_HOME%/models/hypernetworks ^
--embeddings-dir %A1111_HOME%/embeddings ^
--lora-dir %A1111_HOME%/models/Lora
call webui.bat
then save it and you can run the bat and you should be able to see the models from Automatic in Forge
@@pixaroma I'm trying to run Forge standalone so to speak, but even now it still won't work right.
@@anthonyirwin6698do you have an Nvidia card, someone said that is looking for Nvidia driver, so that might be one cause, i have windows and Nvidia and tested on 2 computers and did work, but i can not check on other systems, you can maybe post on their page on issue tab, maybe someone can help
I'm trying it now but the results are slightly blurry (default settings). Any advice?
Not sure, try VAE automatic, also try different models, i use now juggernaut x version 10
Question, FORGE is compatible with HYPER and LIGHTING models?
I used a lightning juggernaut model and worked I so they released hyper also but didn't test it yet
@@pixaroma Ok, thx.
@@pixaroma ADETAILER works too?
@@ZeroCool22 i think it was some problems with ad detailer, and some extensions. For control net for example for me only works if image size width and height is divisible by 64. But just try for things that works and work faster and use a1111 or other for things that doesn't work :)
The tiling bug has been also fixed. I just checked on a generated image
Awesome, thanks for info ☺️
when I am trying with automatic Its always creating 2 same object in the image ....can you explain why ?
like multiple heads, and stuff? what images size are you using? depends on the model, if is v1.5 model those are trained on 512x512px and if you try to make a 1024px it think is two images combined and it does that. The SDXL model are trained on 1024x1024px so you can probably go to 1200px or so without doubles appearing, For example i can go to 2048px on my card, but it appears those double errors. You can also try Kohya extension that can fix sometimes those doubles.
@@pixaroma thanks... Ill try ..
Is the inpaint background extension available in Forge?
Usually those from automatic are also on forge, but not sure if all works, you can try and test it, i dont usually use outpaint because it doesn't always do a good job, for that i prefer Photoshop generative fill
From your video with the purse, and the drinks can in the desert, I understood that Inpaint Background took account of, say the lighting, in the masked-out subject when creating a completely different background, as compared with a simple remove/replace background ignoring the masked area. Have I misunderstood?
Does Photoshop Generative Fill allow a completely different background prompt, or only an extension of the existing image within a larger canvas?
@@johnclapperton8211 when you do with inpaint it look around to be able to paint better, but is not always perfect. For photoshop when you expand with crop it does automatically, but after you can select that part that was generated and give it with the prompt what you want in there
Hello, i am using the SD web ui and anyway i can update it to forge ui without doing everything all over again?
I don't think so, is a different interface based on ,a1111 but is made by different users, so is not an update is a different UI. Also seems that works only with Nvidia card
@@pixaroma Thanks! yeah i do have a Nvidia card and seems like everyone using this one. Mine, web ui looks really outdated and have many things missing.. Looks like i have to install all over again? should i uninstall the SD web ui?
No, you can have in different folder forge ui, just depend on the space on your hard drivez I have both installed in different folder

awesome thank you so much, do you know how to make videos with forge i cant get deforum to work@@pixaroma
which version of phyton i have to install?
You don't need to, when you install forge it gets anything you need
Using sd1.5 now. If i use this forge. Can i use the lora used 1.5 at forge?
sorry I only use sdxl models, for that sdxl the lora i tested it worked, I can not tell you if it will work with 1.5 since i dont have any models or lora for it since I dont use them anymore since the sdxl appeared.
@@pixaroma ohhh thx big help
Hello, When i tried to install, i got this error at the end:
argument of type 'WindowsPath' is not iterable
Any help?
Sorry i don't know how to fix that, maybe it has something to do with the path where you saved, maybe put in a folder without space in the name, not sure why you got that error, i tried on two computers and it worked for me
@@pixaroma Ill try saving it on c:
Shouldn't be a problem of drive, mine is on D drive for example, not sure what causes it.
Hey does this have reactor face swap built into it?
I don't see it in the extension list, comes with controlnet, svd, but I dont see reactor there in the list
@@pixaroma ah no worries ty!
Hello thanks a lot , i want to downgrade to Forge UI 1.7 but i cant find any information
I never did it but someone commented with this on reddit Use command prompt in SD directory and type git revert or git reset --hard . You can find the previous version hashes using git log, or there is a list somewhere on the github. So for forge probably you have to go to forge and then to web ui folder, then in the address bar type cmd and press enter, then you can see all those commit with a string of numbers, then I am not sure the next part either you use git revert and put that comit number or something like that
@@pixaroma thanks ill give it a try !
How can i export all my modelos from webui1111 to Forge?
Check this video czcams.com/video/q5MgWzZdq9s/video.htmlsi=f2mLLk3-B3bUh0Ri you can edit q bat file but careful on path there is a difference between slash and backslash that you also need to change
@@pixaroma it's the same as ComfyUI 🙀 thanks mister
Does it support mov2mov extension?
I am not at PC to test it, so not sure

Thanks for great videos. I need learn
the real tutorial we need is how to run ForgeUI using colab, there are currently no colab notebooks provided for it.... some of us have colab pro subscriptions and want to run this on the big boy GPUs
I haven't used colab for months because I upgraded my PC, i just share tutorials on how I use it and the knowledge I got so far, sorry i can't help more
if i start Stable Diffusion is says: OSError: [WinError 193] %1 is not a valid Win32 application. Error loading "D:\ai\webui_forge_cu121_torch21\system\python\lib\site-packages\torch\lib
vfuser_codegen.dll" or one of its dependencies. HELP! xD
Need Nvidia video card and windows so make sure you have that. I didn't have any error so not sure why it happened to you
@@pixaroma i have a Nvidea geforce RTX3070 idk why it wont work, normal stable diffusion works
Maybe you can report the issue to the people who created the forge ui, I don't have much coding experience, if anyone can know the answer must be them github.com/lllyasviel/stable-diffusion-webui-forge/issues look at existing issue and you also have a button for new issue
you are not installing in c drive ?? , so we can also do in d or e ??
Yeah mine is on D, I install it where i have more free space ☺️ it doesn't matter the drive
@@pixaroma but all those heavy ckpt files, they must be in c drive
@@Diffusion-oi6ux i have mine in D:\Forge\webui\models\Stable-diffusion so basically where you install it in the webui folder have models and then stable-diffusion where you put the models. And also use safetensor models instead of ckpt are are safer
@@pixaroma can you make a video upon hands
You have replied me very fast, for which i am very thankful and surprised too, you are doing great,
Few people say Ai art is very very bad
And few like us are excited, because we know there is just no boundary, post 5 years full length Ai movies would be able to be made, or it depends
@@Diffusion-oi6ux for the hands I usually just use inpaint like i did on this video with geisha hands , I used for a while in A1111 Adetailer extension but for me kind of worked faster with inpaint
my forge ui is stuck
[ aut-sd-paint-ext ] Auto-update disabled
I just installed a fresh copy today and I didn't run on any problems, so maybe try again, not sure what is the problem, if you have Nvidia usually works ok
@@pixaroma i solved it , actually i was trying to install some extension , but maybe some error happened , , later on i was panicked , and then i thought carefully , and deleted some extensions , that resolved it
Anyone managed to make SADTALKER work?
it still have some bugs, you can try to report it on their page github.com/lllyasviel/stable-diffusion-webui-forge/issues
Ui is exactly same as a1111 no ?
Yes, only a few things are different, but is based on A1111 just work a little faster and some things are different. I used it because it doesn't crash like a1111 and is a little faster, better optimized
All this stuff and for some absurd reason they removed the "refresh" button for all tab files.
It is not perfect, I hope they can update it soon since it has been a while since the last update
what about mac users?
Not sure if it works, i don't have @ mac to test it :(
Fucking gold
Any linux users able to give tips on how to get this to work? (python 3.12 error, etc)
Not sure if it works on linux, i saw it search for nvidia driver, so it needed that card but I'm not sure if it works on Linux, i tested only on windows, maybe someone else can help
@@pixaroma I am starting to think the vast majority of users of all these SD webui platforms are on Windows. But really my issues are with python versioning and venvs. I'm fully confident Forge will work as soon as I can sort out the python version stuff.
Pls installation for Mac users
I don't have a Mac so i can't help you there, sorry
how to update forge ui?
When you first installed forge and extracted the content it gave you 3 bats and 2 folders, one of those bat file is update.bat so you only click on that, when you run it you will see with green + and red - what was added or removed from some files. And then you can use run.bat to open the normal forge the updated version. You can see it at minute 1:14 czcams.com/video/zqgKj9yexMY/video.htmlsi=KS6wZvf1PgACVtbL&t=74
thanks but i think i might have found some bug. tell me can you see lora on webui? i cannot load and see any lora on web ui even though i have put lora in the correct folder and i am loading correct checpoint model for the lora ..can you please check and tell me if you are facing the same issue. this can be a bug and we should notify the dev asap if this indeed is a bug @@pixaroma
There is no backwards compatibility with dynamic thresholding when using png info
there are still some bugs and extensions that doesnt work yet, probably will be fixed in time..
