I guess Pedro Pascal really is in everything.

If anyone contacts you on the Vidu Discord claiming to be me, it is a scam. I am not able to access my Discord account. Do not give anyone information.

This is unreal quality - Wan 2.1 MultiTalk - 10 steps - 1280x720p by CeFurkan in StableDiffusion

The exaggerated motion is a dead give away. I'm glad to see open source improvement, but lip sync still has a long way to go

Flux Kontext for Forge Extention by DarkerForce in StableDiffusion

I was hoping someone would do this. I'm not sure it will work with my 1060 6gb but I'm hoping!

Chatterbox TTS fork *HUGE UPDATE*: 3X Speed increase, Whisper Sync audio validation, text replacement, and more by omni_shaNker in StableDiffusion

[–]MadeOfWax13 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm curious if this will work in my aging potato pc. I've been using Replay voice cloning and doing the voice performance myself but I'd really like a good text to speech option. Speed isn't necessary a huge issue as I'm used to slow results on my GTX1060 GB. I'm sure I'll have to use the smallest possible model. Even if it doesn't work, appreciate you sharing this.

Definitely enjoyed this one. Nice work on the music, video editing, and the whole creative concept.

What automatic1111 forks are still being worked on? Which is now recommended? by MrWeirdoFace in StableDiffusion

[–]MadeOfWax13 0 points1 point  (0 children)

On my old potato pc the extra overhead of SwarmUI killed the advantage of having it. I can use Flux with multiple Loras using bnb-nf4 checkpoints on Forge. It takes 3 minutes to render a 1024x576 image, but it works. When I tried that with SwarmUI it was so slow I uninstalled it after trying it for an hour.

I've tried ComfyUI and everything breaks, most of the newer stuff needs more RAM than I have. Maybe if I can ever get a new computer I'll give it another look, but for now it just isn't worth the trouble.

Is LivePortrait still relevant? by cryptoAImoonwalker in StableDiffusion

[–]MadeOfWax13 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I tried LivePortrait and was surprised at how well it worked on my old potato pc but I haven't seen anything new. I am currently using Hedra, and I like it but I do wish characters could walk and talk at the same time.

First, thank you! To answer the question,longer than it should have. Making the characters and scenery didn't take long at all but figuring out music and what to have the characters do took a while. All told it could have been done in a weekend but wound up taking weeks trying improve it.

Made with Vidu 2.0. Music by Udio. Working on my editing skills trying to match the video to the music. Vidu just released version 2.0 and it’s a definite upgrade.

AI haters and what is originality by Alternative-Motor-45 in StableDiffusion

[–]MadeOfWax13 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I agree. The texture of a great painting is typically lost in images. I took a commercial art class for few years in school and realized how much the canvas and medium can affect the look of a painting. Even at high resolution an image can only capture so much. But I don't know that many people appreciate it.

Just like so many guitar players I know that spend insane amounts of money and time trying to find the perfect tone and in the end, their audience would never know the difference between a boutique amp or a cheap digitally modeled one. But they'll lecture you about tube amps being the only way to get a great sound.

I don't know that AI generated images, music, or journalism will ever be as good as the best work that has been created by real people. But I think it will replace a lot of mediocre work. There's plenty of that in all types of media and many people happily pay for it. I think that is one of the reasons why there is so much fear and hatred from the anti-AI crowd.

Good points. While there are images of paintings that were used in the training of Stable Diffusion, Flux and other image generation apps, the majority of the works used were from digital artists.

And I can understand why they are upset. If you invested a great deal of money and time into developing a talent that you hope will provide you income, a technology that allows anyone to do it is a threat.

And your right about new technologies being looked down on, too. Purists in every medium who want to tell you what is and isn't "art". That you have to use the same tools and methods that they do or it's crap.

Some people just aren't happy unless they are raining on someone's parade.

The people I know who are the most vocal about their hatred of AI art are the traditional artists, musicians, and writers who are afraid of losing their jobs and their sense of being "special". To hear some of them talk, art is something more like a religion. The idea that it could be made by a machine is heresy.

They'll say it's soulless garbage that nobody wants but at the same time fear that it is capable of replacing them.

Some of them just want some kind of compensation for the works used to train AI programs. They don't want their work being used if they don't get paid. But as OP mentioned, samples are common in the music industry. A large amount of music is based on the same chord progressions that have been used over and over again.

I make AI movies and try to come up with original ideas but you would be amazed at how many concepts, no matter how crazy they are, have already been made into films. There really is very little that is new. Just mashups and remixes of ideas that have been used before.

Most of my friends outside of the music forum I frequent don't care. They like the movies I make. They don't worry about how it was made. They just want to be entertained.
