Helpful Resources

I’ll add more here as I remember them. Feel free to add more in the comments.

Models

Models are basically the brains of Stable Diffusion. They are the data SD uses to learn what your prompts mean.
The built-in models that come with Stable Diffusion are really bad for porn. Don’t use them. In fact don’t use them at all unless you’re training your own models, there are better SFW models.

Here are some of my personal favourites:

Anime

  • MeinaHentai is a great model to start with. Compared to other models it’s really easy to prompt
  • AOM3 also does really well, though it might be a little more difficult to guide

For all of those, I recommend installing https://github.com/DominikDoom/a1111-sd-webui-tagcomplete, as they heavily rely on danbooru tags.

  • Berry Mix (Pre-mixed version here) can also work pretty well, depending on what you want to do. AFAIK it uses rule34 tags instead of danbooru, so it probably won’t work all too well with prompts used for the above ones

Realistic

  • Uber Realistic Porn Merge is the only realistic model I know of that does hardcore stuff. It’s unfortunate problem is that it’s REALLY DAMN HARD TO USE

VAEs

VAEs are mostly used for finetuning colors, sharpness, what have you. Some models come with a VAE builtin, but for ones that don’t, it’s recommended to have one on hand.

  • “Anything VAE”, “Orangemix VAE”, and “NAI Leak VAE” are the same exact thing under different names. If you already have one on hand, don’t bother with the others. Most VAEs are renamed versions or modifications of this one.
  • Waifu Diffusion’s kl-f8-anime2 is also a pretty good one. It doesn’t require Waifu Diffusion.
  • The one that comes with Stable Diffusion is the only one that seems to work for realistic stuff.

LoRAs

LoRAs teach models about concepts (characters, clothing, environments, style, …) they might not know about. There are a LOT of them, so feel free to browse Civitai to find ones you might want.

LoRAs tend to be specific for families of models, or at the very least styles (using anime LoRAs on realistic models tend to be a bad idea), but there are a fair few that will work across the board.

Locon and LyCORIS are newer formats of LoRAs. Not sure on the technical differences between them, but they will not work out of the box and need an extension such as https://github.com/KohakuBlueleaf/a1111-sd-webui-lycoris to get working

Textual Inversions / Embeddings and Hypernetworks

These are mostly obsoleted by LoRAs. There are a few embeddings such as Deep Negative and EasyNegative that are still quite useful, but in most cases you’ll want to use LoRAs instead.

    I’ve been meaning to figure this out. So the commonly used ones are labeled WebUI, but just how much of the content goes to the web itself?

    If I wanted to train on images that I don’t want going online, will they? Or will the products that I create end up online, or does all this stay local?

      By Web UI it means that the graphical part of it – where you write your prompt and hit generate – is running inside your browser and not as a separate window or command line. Everything is kept on your own computer unless you explicitly tell it to open up remote access.

        It was probably a dumb question, but I wanted to clarify just the same, thanks. When ya get these kinds of pics under strict confidence, you don’t wanna risk breaking that in any way.

          No such thing as a dumb question. but yes the WebUI only exists so you dont have to type into a command prompt. It looks nice and pretty for humans, and then translates all those settings into a command that is then sent to stable diffusion. All of it stays 100% local, unless you go into the WebUI settings and tinker with remote access. But it is off by default
