If you want to train a model to know and recreate your own face, you can do that. If you want to train a model on a specific art style, then you can do that too!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Models in Stable Diffusion are like mod packs in video games: they add onto the base game experience with more content (or, in this case, more specific styles of content).<\/p>\n\n\n\n So how do we install a custom model into Stable Diffusion? You don\u2019t actually have to install models, you just add them to a sub-folder. That\u2019s it! Do you have Stable Diffusion installed on your computer<\/a> already? Then you\u2019re good to go.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n To \u201cinstall\u201d a model, just download it\u2019s checkpoint file (either a .CKPT or a .SafeTensors file) and place it in your \u201cmodels\u201d subfolder. The location of your subfolder depends on:<\/p>\n\n\n\n In general, this models folder will be inside your main Stable Diffusion installation folder.<\/p>\n\n\n\n In my case, I installed Automatic1111\u2019s Web UI<\/a> of Stable Diffusion on a secondary hard drive (my F:\\ drive). With this particular version, the \u201cmodels\u201d folder is:<\/p>\n\n\n\n To add new models, all I have to do is drag and drop the downloaded file into this file before I open Stable Diffusion. Your folder should still be named \u201cmodels\u201d no matter what distro you have.<\/p>\n\n\n Now you know how and where to install custom models. But what models should you install? If you\u2019d like any recommendations, then I have a few:<\/p>\n\n\n\n If you want to browse for models, then I recommend one of the following websites:<\/p>\n\n\n\n I personally prefer Civit AI\u2019s online repository because it has better browse features and keywords. You can search for models based on the style of art you want to create (like photorealism, anime, etc).<\/p>\n\n\n But before you go downloading dozens of model files, let me give you some warnings:<\/p>\n\n\n\n Stable Diffusion provides a unique opportunity that all the other propriety AI services (like Midjourney and Dall-E 2) simply cannot: with Stable Diffusion\u2019s open source design, anyone can create their own custom models for anything. It\u2019s a customization dream come true.<\/p>\n\n\n\n You now know how to add those custom models to your install of Stable Diffusion. Good luck and I hope you have fun testing out this new and exciting world of AI art.
