Definitely worth playing with and prompting! I cheat and use AI to write my prompts and work through what's not working, especially with the tag ones, I'm awful at doing those without help ðŸ˜
I'm sorry it seems less friendly! I've had pretty positive experiences thus far - but also I've learned there's always a certain amount of scamming that happens on piracy sites unfortunately. (but maybe not surprisingly)
Yes, was about to post the same! Can't reach any of the fills. The Website Down checker says it's likely truly down rn.
Yeah, both Daz and Comfy open together is a VRAM nommer.
it was actually Aire - which is really cool, not a knock, it's much more accessible than Comfy - making me download Comfy that led me to move to actually just straight using it to create AI, learning the workflows and what different models can do (found a really nifty double pass template that uses Krea 2 raw and distillations + interesting checkpoints to turn out some lovely work, add controlnet to lock in Daz staging and poses and the sky's the limit.
Hypothetically, I'm no currently learning inpainting and masking, it's powerful but finicky.
Basically it's a great gateway to expand from for a Daz-AI polish workflow
Same! I did a deep dive into the dev console and I don't think this is on purpose, I think they broke something in the plugins the last time they updated, since it was broken, they still uploaded a bunch of stuff anyway?
This was the outcome from my digging what it's doing:
The frontend script does a simple GET request to /wp-json/url-masker-pro/v1/resolve/<token>. Because DRA intercepts that request and returns HTTP 401 instead of 200, resolvedUrl stays null, the script drops into the else block, and it manually injects that exact grey placeholder into the button.Hopefully that is the case and they figure out soon they're not making any money!
as others responded you can indeed run Qwen models locally! Depending on your Vram power, there's also the Flux/Krea line which is incredibly capable in various ways. But Stable Diffusion models can be best for keeping original render detail integrity and inpainting/controlnet for depth and more complicated scenes. Unfortunately they've got the annoying prompting input most of the time.
Check out ComfyUI's list of existing workflows: https://comfy.org/workflows/
I run free models locally for most of the time but there are frontier models that are API only, and it's really not too expensive to do some fun work on existing renders via their cloud tool and some of those models. Like all API systems it's all about keeping from getting too iterative and suddenly waking up after a 3 hour generation session and finding you spent $15+ on one image (experience!)In terms of the ability to create mature like @Ethiopia mentioned, the Stable Diffusion and beyond model community ecosystem has an impressive amount of model and Lora options to create 'mature' (best word to use, 'erotic' gets you scolded) on CivitAI: https://civitai.com/ that you can tweak and find by style.
Wait did some research and looks like the best place, like with all things models, would be HuggingFace/uncensored weights and Loras live there http://www.huggingface.com as other repositories have censored more (Edit to my edit: look for "Civit Red", they apparently put it in a new safe sexy model space)
There's also got to be some sort of (or many) thriving community/repository/or discords out there for adult-tuned model discussion and reviews, haven't looked into it as I'm doing more illustrative stuffs but the internet is for porn/rule 34!
There's so many tiers of effort and generative tools for convenience and cloud versus local and tuned models for various focii and fetishes etc it's kinda dizzying; I think it comes down to how much do you want to invest in/what's your GPU power for running comfy, how much do you want to do uncensored (which will need to be local), and where your needs and commitment and time and equipment falls on the flexibility/control versus 'ease of use and image generation' scale!
Yes! Agreed, and I still do use it, it's much more convenient and easy to run on a render just to see what you get - and Qwen using natural language is nice as opposed to some of the random prompts needed for lots of the fun SD models ðŸ˜
I use AI to help me prompt, and when it comes out weird it can be great to diagnose!
I have Aire and it's fun but honestly as others have said if your computer can run it without stress than it's better to learn Comfy UI and have the whole universe of tools and flexibility available. There are so many more models out there than Qwen and being able to inpaint/mask/controlnet and use Loras and different checkpoints is a lot wider.
As someone else who has comfyui and Daz and uses both, there are extreme limitations on getting anything truly complex and nuanced out of AI without serious setup. Multiple figures is a mess. It takes as much work to do straight AI work to get exactly the scene one wants than to pose, camera, light render in Daz and then run through AI for final touches, and the pure AI version tends to be blander in subject, more obvious, and always more things are comrpomised on to get it out. (And it is indeed a lot less fun)
And because of how AI art generation works, true detail and deeper, less easily crowdsourced subjects and output will continue to be difficult.
I think Daz has a particular place in actual creation workflows (like webtoon, etc) because the ability to craft a truly specific character easily is bar none the best but for where ZoneGFX sits - light fingered hobbiests doing things for themselves (guilty!) - AI can fill lots of those gaps so it makes sense visitors is going down?
Argh and that's exactly where I'm heading!
TY, yeah definitely started last night slowly cleaning things up and using AI to create a catalog of my DIM items, and will then sort out my manual installs, and then look at a tool.
Agreed agreed - have come to the same conclusion, even with a tool, I'll definitely need to clean up what I have for a peaceful, well-organized future or the clutter and disorder just compounds upon itself.
TY, I'll check it out!
Thank you this is incredibly useful! I saw EzFinder but was worried it was out of date, it has great features so really happy to hear they're updating it!
Agreed, the NON-installed and stored stuff is its own struggle!
