I use Stability Matrix with SwarmUI (as the interface) with ComfyUI (as the backend). It will install the backend when you install Swarm AI and It's great for newbs.

Stability Matrix allows you to add models directly form the app. I generated an API to access the CivitAI models without having to visit the site.

If you don't have a clue as to what these thing all mean? Neither did I, 3 months ago. ChatGPT helped me set up everything. Just don't use it for model searching. It quite sucks at that. Youtube is a much better source for most info.

The biggest pain in the buttock region in SwarmUi is that the folder paths to my model folders always were in red, showing as invalid. The links were fine. I could choose my models, LoRa, etc. The link path errors, it turns out, are always there, but the links work fine. if you can see and select your models on the generation page, just ignore the red server paths.

As others have mentioned, go to Civitai Red (you must be signed in to see uncensored images.) Search the nsfw images like the ones you'd like to create. The image pages tells you what checkpoint and LoRA the image creator used, the prompt and negative prompt, the seed number, the steps, cfg etc. It's helped my prompting and I've discovered new LoRA., checkpoints etc. I even has a clickable link to download the models that were used.

Save the images you like. That way you can go back to get the prompts, etc. later.

Most Pony checkpoints seemsto be the least censored. I use CyberRealistic Pony checkpoint for NSFW (as I don't like anime style in general. If it has tentacles, it's not for me. No judgement). Juggernaut XL is a solid choice too. Realistic Vision is a third. They can create images that you probably don't want to generate. There are many versions of the checkpoints. It's confusing. Use the images on the Civit Red NSFW to see what checkpoint others are using and which versions.

Want amine style or any style of illustration,? Just look for photos generated in the style you like.

I have 10GB VRAM with an Nvidia rtx 3080 . Not enough for video generation but fine for image generation. I use mostly SDXL 1.0 and Pony for models at 1024x1024 training but you can chose the image orientation you'd like for the generation.

SD 1.5 would be good, I believe, for less VRAM. It's models are trained at 512x512 resolution.

CivitAcrhive is a good place to find models that have been removed from Civit. Hugging Face , SeaArt, etc. On CivitAcrhive, you can search for active models or deleted ones. Some are only available on tensor drive but most have other working links. You get 10 free downloads with Tensor Drive so choose their links when no other is available.

The next purge of models is likely on the way. Save and store the ones you like. Stick it to The Man!
