I have been looking for a tutorial like this for months. You have a real talent for this tutorial style and I HIGHLY encourage you to keep making these videos. Information is packed and logically flowing from one point to the next. Subscribed!
It should be noted, for those who stumbled upon this like I did without knowing any better, that this method only works for nVidia graphics cards. WebUI uses CUDA, which is a proprietary API specifically for nVidia...meaning if you don't have their drivers, you can't natively run Web UI. Luckily there are forks that exist that do work for AMD Radeon cards, but you'll have to jump through a few more hoops than what is shown here in order to install, and it probably won't run quite as fast as it does on nVidia cards.
I have to thank you very much for your tutorials. The calm nature of the presentation makes it very easy for the beginner to follow every time, you never feel overwhelmed. Kind regards and all the best from Germany.
HOLY COW! I've been using A1111 (and now Forge) for a year, so by now I know most of these "hacks", but I wish a video so clear and so thorough existed when I was starting my journey. I even picked up a new nugget here and there. Bravo! Subscribed. And Saved.
Does it crash more or less often? I've been using A1111 for a while now, but it feels like it's been crashing more and more. Especially with SDXL models.
Since i switched to forge it didn't crash at all, only when i used control net ceashed if i didn't use image size divisible with 64 @@edouarddubois9402
The width and height of the image, sometimes i got that error when the size was not divisible with 64, but mostly when i used some extensions@@edouarddubois9402
Man you are the goat! The way you explain everything makes it really easy to understand. Just got into stable diffiusion and learning from all your videos. Much appreciated! :D
Watched 10 videos about SD Forge install, but your is the best, Quick to the point, super useful tips for beginners, you even say what to do if it crashes.
Thanks for your video! I installed Forge yesterday (no stranger to A1111 here), but thought I'd check out a video or 2. For preferred defaults, I've been editing ui-config.json. Didn't realise there was a more straightforward method via settings haha! Dark mode is so much easier on the eye. I set it at browser level so that all pages appear dark, then display settings > high contrast in Windows (7, 8, 10, 11) will give dark mode OS-wide. Thanks for the heads up on SDXL styles and how its extra prompting works. 2 more extensions I use that might help is CivitAI Browser+ which integrates CivitAI into A1111/Forge, and ADetailer (After Detailer) which is an automatic in-paint utility that tidies up facial features and I find this better than GFPGAN and CodeFormer. Your 7-second image generation near the start of your video took 17 seconds for me with the same settings, coming from an RTX 3070 here. You covering file naming was very helpful too as I wanted to add the denoising value to the file names, and use a suffix instead of file numbers :-)
Very helpful, i will be watching all the videos in this playlist, thanks! BTW what do you use for your voice It's great.( If it's not a trade secret that is)
great info. Also a quick tip, below the image there is a button to upscale using hires fix, just a quicker way to do it. 09:25 I think that option is new with Forge, wasn't in A1111
Those were on older versions of forge for a few months ago, there are not in the new forge, only if you downgrade to a really old version of forge that doesn't have flux and new stuff but has old stuff
I didnt play with that function yet, it always seems to be complicated to do trainings, I tried also on A1111 but I dont get always good results, needs good settings, good images, captions, too many things involved it seems. And now I saw an anoucement that forge is not going to be updated anymore, like is used more for tests or something.
Hello, really great tutorial. I have a question I want to use the 4xVALAR upscaler but have no idea where to put it. Could you please answer if you have an idea in what folder exactly it should be.
Go to your webui\models folder and there create a folder named ESRGAN, so you will have webui\models\ESRGAN path, and in that ESRGAN you put that upscaler model. That worked for me, hope it works for you.
great video! thanks very much. quick question, do you use tts for narration? If so, it's incredible, may I ask which one? I've been trying to find something decent for my videos. Cheers :)
I'm new to this Stable Diffusion GUI. Experienced people can you please answer is this Forge WebUI is better than Fooocus MRE? If Yes, then in what parameters is it better? Thanks!
fantastic video. But for some reason my changed parameters wont save. the "steps" parameter does, but not the sampling method, schedule type nor width and height...
What if you use both 1.5 and XL checkpoints? Do you have to keep manually changing the FreeU settings everytime? Also with Hypertile, should the tile size be half of the generated dimensions longest side? what if I am usijng x2 hires fix, should it be half the size of the hires fix? What does the hypertile swap size and depth settings do? and is there a way like in SDNext to have hypertile set to automatic mode?
I don't use those settings too be much to give you more details, i know that for control net you have to manually keep changing models, 1.5 is different from sdxl so it needs different models and settings
@@pixaroma yes that's to be expected for control net as 1.5 and xl use different model. That's easily done. What's not easily done is having to remember the precise settings for freeU for 1.5 and xl. Can't believe there is no preset option to load these on the fly. I also am disappointed that there is no auto mode for hypertile tile size. Damn, all these different UIs should come together and make one ultimate ui
i wonder if any of the stable diffusion UI makers (forge, automatic, comfyui etc) has considered a method for capturing 'recommended model settings' like you point out at 3:29 - as going out and hunting down a model's recommended settings is a work slow-down; perhaps be able to configure a 'model or ksampler template' that can be a quick preset based on the model.. would be kinda cool to have the option to be able to on checkpoint load to trigger the preset (but again should be an optional thing, not everyone would want that in all cases). if this already exists someone let us know
There is a preset saving extension so you can just save settings and give it a name similar to the model you use to know for what it is, but many extensions have bugs since with updates
First of all, I must say thank you. I started with your videos with the latest one, about Flux, and I am stuck here. Forge UI is fantastic! My only question is if I can find log files about prompts? It would be great to keep them.
Well each prompt and settings are saved in the png you generated, so if you drag the png you like into the png info tab you can see the prompt and setting. For more complex probably you need a script or an extension, on a quick search maybe an extension like this could do something similar, didn't test but maybe gives you some ideas github.com/ThereforeGames/unprompted
@@CsokaErno I use XnView MP as my default image viewer. It has meta-info tab on the right, no need to import images anywhere, you can just copy, alt-tab and paste prompt+properties into your browser. Besides that, it's a really handy piece of software compared to vanilla windows image viewers.
6:21 Wow, didn't knew about it, I through the only way to change it is to edit it manually in some file I don't remember now. Still, I would like it to have different defaults for each checkpoint, is it possible?
You can read more about here, i didn't play with them in forge only with canny control net mostly, also keep in mind the version you are using there are different forks of forge now, the main one is used for beta testing and many things might not work! github.com/lllyasviel/stable-diffusion-webui-forge/discussions/178
Thankyou for this tutorial! ❤Do I need the automatic 1111 stable diffusion installed to be able to install forge? I have the oldest version of automatic 1111 installed and I hvnt used it or upgraded it as I cudnt keep up with the every new update and other troubleshooting issues as I hv zero knowledge of programming language 😢
Yeah I am using a voice from voiceair.ai , my voice is ok but my spoken English is not so good and the accent is too strong, I am better with writing, that why that voice can produce a clear English and anyone can understand me, and sounds good for an AI voice.
From what I know it search for Nvidia driver so no it doesnt work, many fail to load on AMD, i saw one commenting somewhere that got it to run on amd one UI called SD.Next by Vladmandic
Either your video card is not good enogh or forge dont recognize it, I am a designer not a coder, but you can try this in webui-user.bat add the following arguments to see if it works, it need at least 6gb of vram and prefers nvidia cards but try it anyway: set COMMANDLINE_ARGS=--skip-torch-cuda-test --precision full --no-half
I see someone already posted taht on the bugs area, you can watch that to see if it gets any response if nothing else works, github.com/lllyasviel/stable-diffusion-webui-forge/issues
Little question: did anyone have a problem with LyCORIS models on Forge? I'm using Forge through Stability Matrix, and no matter how I load -- from my computer or Matrix's models loader -- it just doesn't show up in Lora's tab. And when I load it in Lora's folder, it doesn't work correctly.
not sure if all those works, but did you installed them from extension? Go to extension tab, click on available, click on Load From button, that will load all, search for an extension, for example tried ratio helper in search and installed just well when i clicked install, and restarted forge.
How do I add the "ip-adapter_face_id_plus" preprocessor for IP-Adapter? It's not in Forge. "ip-adapter_face_id_plus" working better then "InsightFace+CLIP-H (IPAdapter)"
hi my installed Sd forge doesn't have the update.bat file. Is there anyway to update SD forge without the file? Maybe by adding arguments to look for an update?
I tested on 6gb and worked, only control net give me some crashed, but other things worked for me, faster then automatic that took ages. It worth a try, and if you dont like it how it work you can just delete the folder with all files. But i believe you can use most of the functions, if automatic1111 works this should work even faster
I runned forge on 6gb rtx 2060 so it should work, other solution will be comfy ui since forge will not be updated anymore, and once they update automatic 1111 that will be also a good solution
Hey! I have installed forge, and any files that need to be on Stable-defusion folder works great. I watched a few of your videos, and every time I SVD file and put it into the SVD, reload and run locally I do not get that tab section. Any advice? I have tried reinstalling, and other stable fusioon github downloads and nothing makes the svd. I really want to make image to videos. Any advice? Or anyone reading this comment?
there is an old version that has svd but doesnt have flux and other things, so you can install a separate folder forge and go back to that version Create a bat file any name you want, something like rollback.bat and add this text inside @echo off set PATH=%DIR%\git\bin;%PATH% git -C "%~dp0webui" checkout 29be1da7cf2b5dccfc70fbdd33eb35c56a31ffb7 pause When you run that rollback.bat it will load that specific version Then create a rollforward.bat and add this text inside @echo off set PATH=%DIR%\git\bin;%PATH% git -C "%~dp0webui" checkout main pause That will let you go back to the main version so you can see the latest updates. After that, run "rollback.bat" to return to the specified point , so start it and check the operation. Also, run "rollforward.bat" to return to the latest state (only if you have rolled back) Some had problems with creating the bat files so here shared those also. Get this 2 bat files from google drive: drive.google.com/drive/folders/1bS-6HdLl5AH3Rbd2wHUm_nILUOnu9hmJ?usp=sharing If is say is dangerous is because is a bat file, you can open it with notepad and is the same code from video, so is not a dangerous file. Download and place those two files in the main folder of your forge ui, where the run and update file is. Run the rollback.bat by double click on it and will go back to a previous commit. Press enter to exit that screen after it finished. Then double click to run.bat and it will start with that old commit. --- To get back to the current version run the rollforward.bat Press enter to exit that screen after it finished. Then double click to run.bat and it will start with new commit. that commit i put in the rollback it has the version of forge with svd but doesnt have the flux and new updates, is an older version.
So, in the arguments section where you put the dark theme I can add: --pin-shared-memory --cuda-malloc --cuda-stream For optimization, right? Thanks for the video!
Yes, i tried all those as forge suggested but didn't make it faster on my rtx4090 but slower, maybe it does better for you but for me with bo argument was faster
is in the webui-user.bat look for set COMMANDLINE_ARGS= and there after equal you add it, like I added the dark theme you add more, set COMMANDLINE_ARGS=--theme dark --cuda-stream
Maybe look here gist.github.com/ShMcK/d14d90abea1437fdc9cfe8ecda864b06 aws.amazon.com/blogs/machine-learning/use-stable-diffusion-xl-with-amazon-sagemaker-jumpstart-in-amazon-sagemaker-studio/ as I don't use aws I can't hellp
I use forges deforum tab to create animations. I would like to know how to create the animations within a boundary. I projection map so I would like to know how to keep the animations within the map of my house. Would you know how to accomplish this? I have a png map file that I created but unsure what to use it with. TIA
Sorry, I didn't play yet with deforum, so i can't help there yet, I like to create HQ images and the video and animation isn't quite there yet, i am waiting for an improvement before i jump in to it
My built-in controlnet's IP-Adapter is missing its models, and thus, doesn't work. Any ideas? I wanted to install them manually, but the library is different, and so are the files.
Forge still has some problems with control net, check this discussion maybe it helps github.com/lllyasviel/stable-diffusion-webui-forge/discussions/178#discussioncomment-8572388
@@pixaromathank you, hope that some one can answer. I don't have the requested performance machine to do local installation, so that will give me a great help. why I'm asking? it's just for the seamless pattern setting that exists in the models presented. this capability isn't offered right now in fooocus witch is easily accessible with colab.
the real tutorial we need is how to run ForgeUI using colab, there are currently no colab notebooks provided for it.... some of us have colab pro subscriptions and want to run this on the big boy GPUs
I haven't used colab for months because I upgraded my PC, i just share tutorials on how I use it and the knowledge I got so far, sorry i can't help more
The dark theme prevents the launch on my side, bad it interests me, we can change it otherwise? Ah yes, I do not have DPM ++ 2M karras as a choice. suddenly the tutorial is more days or I took the wrong version? I think it’s still too early for me since I just installed it, if you have sources or a simpler tutorial to understand what it tells I’m interested. I installed this one since I failed to install the other, stable broadcast 111 or something like that.
I am using comfyui lately, forge has changed a lot in the last months, like in a week after i finished the tutorial it had a lot of new other stuff, so is hard to keep up with all the changes.
hello, i downloaded the 7z file... i extracted using 7zip but it's been 1.5 hours and now 7zip says it will take 7 hours to extract. I stopped extracting... something must be wrong? I have a ssd with 6000 write speed and 32 gigs of ram with 12 gigs of ram. I invested in a new rig for AI so I'm hoping this is not a hardware issue so soon? Any advice would be much appreciated.
thanks for the controlnet section I got stumped on where to put the models. Edit: can anybody help me with LORA models, I paste them in the LORA folder but FORGE doesnt seem to detect them
i just tested now with a file and seems to be recognized, webui\models\Lora so the folder is Lora, and after you past it there you go to lora in the interface and refresh the page or just restart the stable diffusion so it can see it
I am not sure, can you join my Facebook group and you can you show me maybe some screenshots or post there to take a look, do you get any errors or what it looks like
This is a great tutorial, but for me using it on Ubuntu makes feel a bit sad, cause most of extensions simply doesn't work, or doesn't want to install. Maybe because of GPU (rtx2060,6gb), but when I had Windows system on same machine, it had more extensions preinstalled and used. Like I don't have Free U and Control Net SDXL. As well as I remember, it worked more better than now. Did they made some new updates, which made it work worse? (Last time used 3 months ago)
They stopped updated for the official version, there are some versions that still around but not sure how much update they get., you can try the last stable version or change to dev2 ruclips.net/video/RZJJ_ZrHOc0/видео.html. I have on older pc same gpu, but i wasnt able to run with control net, it crashed. ComfuUI works ok, but didnt try yet complex stuff
Just updated to latest Forge version , the one that can work with Flux, but using only Sdxl on my 8gb card : every time I do inpainting or img2img the result has lower saturation than the original, it's me or what? Assigning a VAE do not solve 😢
There are a lot of bugs on new version so it will take a while for all to get fixed, this has a similar problem github.com/lllyasviel/stable-diffusion-webui-forge/issues/1189 and if you look at the list of open issues are like 600 github.com/lllyasviel/stable-diffusion-webui-forge/issues
I wanted to ask, I have models and loras in my fooocus folder. is it possible to copy and paste them to the appropriate forge folders? Or do I have to redownload them from civitai? ORRR...(is there a better way to have these models linked from my fooocus to my forge folder that could help on saving space on my cpu)...... I rather not redownload them or copy the file over so i dont fill up my harddrive.
I am adding a few hours a tutorials for forge, and how to link the automatic folder to forge, probably you can do something similar with the fooocus paths. I dont have focus to test it but it worked with the path of automatic1111. Also if you have it once you just copy them in the right location no need to redownload them.
thank you for the reply! I wonder if it will work linking fooocus folder to forge..i guess it is worth a try. ANy idea when your vid will be dropping for that so I can keep an eye out for it?@@pixaroma
When I put my model in control net "control_v11p_sd15_openpose.pth" and when I try to generate the image, I have a error message "TypeError: 'NoneType' object is not iterable. My setup is OpenPOSE and processor Openpose_full, can you help me please
i see you are using v1.5, do you get the same on sdxl? I got that error recently but not on control net but when i used an extension at different image size. It works at 1024x1024px? I got that error on different sizes, but worked at 1024x1024px. I dont used v1.5 anymore since sdxl appeared.
so i tried with sdxl control net and i get the same error if i use certain sizes, for example it works if is 1024x1024px, or 1024x576px, but i get that error if i use 1200x672, or 912x512 or 1024x816
@@pixaroma thank you for your answer, I tried all the sizes 1024, 512 etc. it does not work, I have this problem that when I want to use controlnet otherwise to generate an image no problem but when I use controlnet impossible to generate an picture
Mine is off also, can be activated with some command in the bat, I tried but made my generation slower not faster so i left it deactivated, it appears as suggestions on the cmd window when you start and there is also a command I think, i don't remember now, just i know activated was slower for me
You solved the problem I was actually worried about the output speed. So I don't have to worry about CUDA but the internet connection, it should be sometimes fast sometimes slow which affects the output speed. Thanks for the tutorial above.
@@ZeroCool22 i think it was some problems with ad detailer, and some extensions. For control net for example for me only works if image size width and height is divisible by 64. But just try for things that works and work faster and use a1111 or other for things that doesn't work :)
I have NVIDIA graphic card but i get this error when run forge: Torch is not able to use GPU; add --skip-torch-cuda-test to COMMANDLINE_ARGS variable to disable this check. how can I solve this?
so in the last month there has been a lot of updates to the forge ui, today I am working on an update video with what is new. Go to this discussion page to see what they changed and in comments some people had the same problem like yours and it seems has something to do with forge, on the bottom of the page you can see comments and click to load more comments, and with ctrl+f you can search for "torch is" to find comments that have those words github.com/lllyasviel/stable-diffusion-webui-forge/discussions/981 also check this page in the comments how some used different settings in arguments - github.com/AUTOMATIC1111/stable-diffusion-webui/issues/1742
Should be next to run.bat and environment.bat a file called update.bat i have it there since installation, your should have it to. Just careful with updates to have a good stable version, check this video ruclips.net/video/RZJJ_ZrHOc0/видео.htmlsi=rF-9wCmzResJiW3L
Using RUN I got the following error: "Torch is not able to use GPU: add --skip-torch-cuda-test to COMMANDLINE_ARGS variable to disable this check" Does this mean my GPU will not work for this? I have a GTX 1660 Ti with 6GB GDDR6. Not a new card, but it's getting me by. No good?
I am not sure, try to add what they recommend, add --skip-torch-cuda-test to COMMANDLINE_ARGS, so copy --skip-torch-cuda-test and then open the webui-user.bat with notepad and paste it there after the equal sign, where it says set COMMANDLINE_ARGS=, should be set COMMANDLINE_ARGS= --skip-torch-cuda-test and see if that works. For me it worked on 6gb vram but was on rtx4090, is still a new UI so it might still have bugs.
I received same error and tried suggested command. Restarted run.bat and got new error saying no NVIDIA driver on your system. Makes sense because I have AMD video card. Simply put this is only for NVIDIA users.
1. Is there any performance drop if I don't install it on C drive? 2. My C drive is SSD and D drive is HDD. Can I still install on D drive? Will I face any performance difference or issues?

Hello, there are some tabs on your installation that I don't seem to have, like Train, SVD, and Z123. How do you install those?
Those were on older versions of forge for a few months ago, there are not in the new forge, only if you downgrade to a really old version of forge that doesn't have flux and new stuff but has old stuff
Love your video, How do I run forge on google colab pro do I just change my automatic 1111 notebook or do I need something else?
Sorry i cant help with colab, usually there are just colabs made for forge, not sure if someone made for last versions
@pixaroma well thank you very much I will return to comfyui, and it says automatic 1111 is not taken care of yet yes many errors
Wow Thanks for putting in the time to make this!! Is there any guide on using the Train tab (embedding, hypernetwork, train)?
I didnt play with that function yet, it always seems to be complicated to do trainings, I tried also on A1111 but I dont get always good results, needs good settings, good images, captions, too many things involved it seems. And now I saw an anoucement that forge is not going to be updated anymore, like is used more for tests or something.
Thank you ❤
Great tips, thanks!
Great Video
Thank You! Brilliant👍
This was excellent!!!!!
You should definitely meet your goal with this video!!
Thank you ☺️
@@pixaroma do you use an app to get the time stamps?
Like the chapters on the RUclips? I use tubebuddy
Great job keep up the good work
Nice video and tricks bro, thanks!

Thank You So Much - Bro 😍
You are welcome ☺️
Hello, really great tutorial. I have a question I want to use the 4xVALAR upscaler but have no idea where to put it. Could you please answer if you have an idea in what folder exactly it should be.
Go to your webui\models folder and there create a folder named ESRGAN, so you will have webui\models\ESRGAN path, and in that ESRGAN you put that upscaler model. That worked for me, hope it works for you.
great video! thanks very much. quick question, do you use tts for narration? If so, it's incredible, may I ask which one? I've been trying to find something decent for my videos. Cheers :)
Is called voiceair they have the voices from elevenlabs
thanks alot! I'll have a look at it@@pixaroma
bro you awesome, thanks
Thanks for your Vdo. I have a question? My version doesn’t have training tab? How could I add it! Thank you in advance.
I don't know how to add it to new version but you can downgrade to the olde version that had that
Thanks!
Thanks for this tutorial!! I noticed you're able to generate very quickly. Can I ask for your PC specs? Thank you!
I speed up video sometimes, it takes like 5 sec for a 1024px image. I have rtx4090 with 24gb of vram, more vram the faster is the generation
I'm new to this Stable Diffusion GUI. Experienced people can you please answer is this Forge WebUI is better than Fooocus MRE? If Yes, then in what parameters is it better? Thanks!
You can have both installed and play around, just put it on a different folder. It has more options and extension then fooocus from what i know
Niice, thanks for sharing
thanks for the tutorial. i have many models in stable diffusion. can i use them in forge ui?
Yes you can use it just like in other interfaces if is in the right folder or your settings are changed so it can take it from the folder you put them
fantastic video. But for some reason my changed parameters wont save. the "steps" parameter does, but not the sampling method, schedule type nor width and height...
It still has bugs since it was updated to the new version so there are still things that doesn't work
@@pixaroma thanks for answering
What if you use both 1.5 and XL checkpoints? Do you have to keep manually changing the FreeU settings everytime? Also with Hypertile, should the tile size be half of the generated dimensions longest side? what if I am usijng x2 hires fix, should it be half the size of the hires fix? What does the hypertile swap size and depth settings do? and is there a way like in SDNext to have hypertile set to automatic mode?
I don't use those settings too be much to give you more details, i know that for control net you have to manually keep changing models, 1.5 is different from sdxl so it needs different models and settings
@@pixaroma yes that's to be expected for control net as 1.5 and xl use different model. That's easily done. What's not easily done is having to remember the precise settings for freeU for 1.5 and xl. Can't believe there is no preset option to load these on the fly. I also am disappointed that there is no auto mode for hypertile tile size. Damn, all these different UIs should come together and make one ultimate ui
Nice! Thank you. But unfortunately ControlNET is dead in this built.
For me works if the image size, width and height is divisible with 64
is it possible to setup all of this on AWS? could you please make a video? I am looking for an sketch to image model
I dont use aws but saw online that is possible, stable-diffusion-art.com/aws-ec2/ check this article maybe it helps
i wonder if any of the stable diffusion UI makers (forge, automatic, comfyui etc) has considered a method for capturing 'recommended model settings' like you point out at 3:29 - as going out and hunting down a model's recommended settings is a work slow-down; perhaps be able to configure a 'model or ksampler template' that can be a quick preset based on the model.. would be kinda cool to have the option to be able to on checkpoint load to trigger the preset (but again should be an optional thing, not everyone would want that in all cases). if this already exists someone let us know
There is a preset saving extension so you can just save settings and give it a name similar to the model you use to know for what it is, but many extensions have bugs since with updates
Check the extension in this video to see if still works ruclips.net/video/89YRfqArm-Y/видео.htmlsi=1va366VyvAt6s1f8
@@pixaroma You rock! thanks for those informative replies! will check that out. -- updated, yep the config preset still appears to work!
First of all, I must say thank you. I started with your videos with the latest one, about Flux, and I am stuck here. Forge UI is fantastic! My only question is if I can find log files about prompts? It would be great to keep them.
Well each prompt and settings are saved in the png you generated, so if you drag the png you like into the png info tab you can see the prompt and setting. For more complex probably you need a script or an extension, on a quick search maybe an extension like this could do something similar, didn't test but maybe gives you some ideas github.com/ThereforeGames/unprompted
@@pixaroma Genial, thank you!
@@CsokaErno I use XnView MP as my default image viewer. It has meta-info tab on the right, no need to import images anywhere, you can just copy, alt-tab and paste prompt+properties into your browser. Besides that, it's a really handy piece of software compared to vanilla windows image viewers.
6:21 Wow, didn't knew about it, I through the only way to change it is to edit it manually in some file I don't remember now.
Still, I would like it to have different defaults for each checkpoint, is it possible?
Try this to see if still works , they keep updating the forge so it still have bugs ruclips.net/video/89YRfqArm-Y/видео.htmlsi=kGI45gnzc7iYeFHX
8:37 yes it same cute cat we see everywhere. its picture on model. so far nothing havent AI
:)
quick question what's with ipadapters, I cannot acces any preprocesors there are only 3 encoders available, am I missing something?
You can read more about here, i didn't play with them in forge only with canny control net mostly, also keep in mind the version you are using there are different forks of forge now, the main one is used for beta testing and many things might not work! github.com/lllyasviel/stable-diffusion-webui-forge/discussions/178
Thankyou for this tutorial! ❤Do I need the automatic 1111 stable diffusion installed to be able to install forge? I have the oldest version of automatic 1111 installed and I hvnt used it or upgraded it as I cudnt keep up with the every new update and other troubleshooting issues as I hv zero knowledge of programming language 😢
You don't need to have it installed it for forge to work, is different UI similar to Automatic, you just install it in different folder
Out of curiosity are you using an AI voice tool or is this your real voice? Some crisp amazing voice if its all you :D
Yeah I am using a voice from voiceair.ai , my voice is ok but my spoken English is not so good and the accent is too strong, I am better with writing, that why that voice can produce a clear English and anyone can understand me, and sounds good for an AI voice.
Thanks for the great video. One question here; does Forge works with AMD GPU ? Or it only run with Nvidia GPU ?
From what I know it search for Nvidia driver so no it doesnt work, many fail to load on AMD, i saw one commenting somewhere that got it to run on amd one UI called SD.Next by Vladmandic
@@pixaromathanks for the reply. i will check it out. much appreciated
I did run.bat, it showed runtimeerror: Torch is not able to use GPU, what happened?
Either your video card is not good enogh or forge dont recognize it, I am a designer not a coder, but you can try this in webui-user.bat add the following arguments to see if it works, it need at least 6gb of vram and prefers nvidia cards but try it anyway:
set COMMANDLINE_ARGS=--skip-torch-cuda-test --precision full --no-half
I see someone already posted taht on the bugs area, you can watch that to see if it gets any response if nothing else works, github.com/lllyasviel/stable-diffusion-webui-forge/issues
Little question: did anyone have a problem with LyCORIS models on Forge? I'm using Forge through Stability Matrix, and no matter how I load -- from my computer or Matrix's models loader -- it just doesn't show up in Lora's tab. And when I load it in Lora's folder, it doesn't work correctly.
I didnt use lycoris yet, but I hope someone can help you with an answer . Is it possible that forge it still has some bugs
How to use A1111 extensions? I'm trying but it auto turns em off. And integrated extensions are 💩. Help
not sure if all those works, but did you installed them from extension? Go to extension tab, click on available, click on Load From button, that will load all, search for an extension, for example tried ratio helper in search and installed just well when i clicked install, and restarted forge.
How do I add the "ip-adapter_face_id_plus" preprocessor for IP-Adapter? It's not in Forge. "ip-adapter_face_id_plus" working better then "InsightFace+CLIP-H (IPAdapter)"
someone said that the name are different, check this page discussion github.com/lllyasviel/stable-diffusion-webui-forge/discussions/178
hi my installed Sd forge doesn't have the update.bat file. Is there anyway to update SD forge without the file? Maybe by adding arguments to look for an update?
It should have it there next to run. In the folder you extracted not in the webui folder
Thanks again for the video! I have a question. Will this model work on my video card if it is only 8 GB? and if not, what options can you recommend?
I tested on 6gb and worked, only control net give me some crashed, but other things worked for me, faster then automatic that took ages. It worth a try, and if you dont like it how it work you can just delete the folder with all files. But i believe you can use most of the functions, if automatic1111 works this should work even faster
Wow! Thank you so much, I'll experiment. @@pixaroma
you only had to watch the video for 30 seconds and your question was answered holy shit
@@schinie3777 That question is not for this video!
I runned forge on 6gb rtx 2060 so it should work, other solution will be comfy ui since forge will not be updated anymore, and once they update automatic 1111 that will be also a good solution
Hey! I have installed forge, and any files that need to be on Stable-defusion folder works great. I watched a few of your videos, and every time I SVD file and put it into the SVD, reload and run locally I do not get that tab section. Any advice? I have tried reinstalling, and other stable fusioon github downloads and nothing makes the svd. I really want to make image to videos. Any advice? Or anyone reading this comment?
there is an old version that has svd but doesnt have flux and other things, so you can install a separate folder forge and go back to that version
Create a bat file any name you want, something like
rollback.bat
and add this text inside
@echo off
set PATH=%DIR%\git\bin;%PATH%
git -C "%~dp0webui" checkout 29be1da7cf2b5dccfc70fbdd33eb35c56a31ffb7
pause
When you run that rollback.bat it will load that specific version
Then create a
rollforward.bat
and add this text inside
@echo off
set PATH=%DIR%\git\bin;%PATH%
git -C "%~dp0webui" checkout main
pause
That will let you go back to the main version so you can see the latest updates.
After that, run "rollback.bat" to return to the specified point , so start it and check the operation. Also, run "rollforward.bat" to return to the latest state (only if you have rolled back)
Some had problems with creating the bat files so here shared those also.
Get this 2 bat files from google drive: drive.google.com/drive/folders/1bS-6HdLl5AH3Rbd2wHUm_nILUOnu9hmJ?usp=sharing
If is say is dangerous is because is a bat file, you can open it with notepad and is the same code from video, so is not a dangerous file.
Download and place those two files in the main folder of your forge ui, where the run and update file is.
Run the rollback.bat by double click on it and will go back to a previous commit. Press enter to exit that screen after it finished.
Then double click to run.bat and it will start with that old commit.
---
To get back to the current version
run the rollforward.bat
Press enter to exit that screen after it finished.
Then double click to run.bat and it will start with new commit.
that commit i put in the rollback it has the version of forge with svd but doesnt have the flux and new updates, is an older version.
So, in the arguments section where you put the dark theme I can add:
--pin-shared-memory
--cuda-malloc
--cuda-stream
For optimization, right?
Thanks for the video!
Yes, i tried all those as forge suggested but didn't make it faster on my rtx4090 but slower, maybe it does better for you but for me with bo argument was faster
@@pixaroma gonna try it on my 4080.
It's not working. Is it really on web-ui.bat file that I should put the arguments?
is in the webui-user.bat look for set COMMANDLINE_ARGS= and there after equal you add it, like I added the dark theme you add more, set COMMANDLINE_ARGS=--theme dark --cuda-stream
Could you please tell if this can also be run on AWS sagemaker?

Sorry, I didn't play yet with deforum, so i can't help there yet, I like to create HQ images and the video and animation isn't quite there yet, i am waiting for an improvement before i jump in to it
The tiling bug has been also fixed. I just checked on a generated image
Awesome, thanks for info ☺️
Great stuff. Is it possible to run it on AMD?
From what i know it needs Nvidia, so not at the moment
My built-in controlnet's IP-Adapter is missing its models, and thus, doesn't work. Any ideas? I wanted to install them manually, but the library is different, and so are the files.

What TTS model/software are you using?
VoiceAir ai, they have the voices from elevenlabs
Thank you so much. Can it be installed in collab as well as fooocus?
I am not sure, maybe someone else can answer that
@@pixaromathank you, hope that some one can answer. I don't have the requested performance machine to do local installation, so that will give me a great help. why I'm asking? it's just for the seamless pattern setting that exists in the models presented. this capability isn't offered right now in fooocus witch is easily accessible with colab.
the real tutorial we need is how to run ForgeUI using colab, there are currently no colab notebooks provided for it.... some of us have colab pro subscriptions and want to run this on the big boy GPUs
I haven't used colab for months because I upgraded my PC, i just share tutorials on how I use it and the knowledge I got so far, sorry i can't help more
The dark theme prevents the launch on my side, bad it interests me, we can change it otherwise? Ah yes, I do not have DPM ++ 2M karras as a choice. suddenly the tutorial is more days or I took the wrong version? I think it’s still too early for me since I just installed it, if you have sources or a simpler tutorial to understand what it tells I’m interested. I installed this one since I failed to install the other, stable broadcast 111 or something like that.
I am using comfyui lately, forge has changed a lot in the last months, like in a week after i finished the tutorial it had a lot of new other stuff, so is hard to keep up with all the changes.
hello, i downloaded the 7z file... i extracted using 7zip but it's been 1.5 hours and now 7zip says it will take 7 hours to extract. I stopped extracting... something must be wrong? I have a ssd with 6000 write speed and 32 gigs of ram with 12 gigs of ram. I invested in a new rig for AI so I'm hoping this is not a hardware issue so soon? Any advice would be much appreciated.
Use a different software to extract, like i used WinRAR that worked fast for me
I have attempted many times but am unable to get this to run with AMD R9 580 looking for the CPU ver
I think is looking for a Nvidia driver, you can try comfy UI or automatic 1111 but depends on the video card vram
thanks for the controlnet section I got stumped on where to put the models. Edit: can anybody help me with LORA models, I paste them in the LORA folder but FORGE doesnt seem to detect them
i just tested now with a file and seems to be recognized, webui\models\Lora so the folder is Lora, and after you past it there you go to lora in the interface and refresh the page or just restart the stable diffusion so it can see it
Thank you very much! I tried it. It can generate and download images, but the window that shows the generated image does not work. What should I do?
I am not sure, can you join my Facebook group and you can you show me maybe some screenshots or post there to take a look, do you get any errors or what it looks like
Go to settings and paths for saving. Set save file paths (output dirs) to full paths, like C:\pathtoyourimagedir
It worked! Thank you very much!!@@Dark_Lobster
This is a great tutorial, but for me using it on Ubuntu makes feel a bit sad, cause most of extensions simply doesn't work, or doesn't want to install. Maybe because of GPU (rtx2060,6gb), but when I had Windows system on same machine, it had more extensions preinstalled and used. Like I don't have Free U and Control Net SDXL. As well as I remember, it worked more better than now. Did they made some new updates, which made it work worse? (Last time used 3 months ago)
They stopped updated for the official version, there are some versions that still around but not sure how much update they get., you can try the last stable version or change to dev2 ruclips.net/video/RZJJ_ZrHOc0/видео.html. I have on older pc same gpu, but i wasnt able to run with control net, it crashed. ComfuUI works ok, but didnt try yet complex stuff
@@pixaroma Thank you!
Just updated to latest Forge version , the one that can work with Flux, but using only Sdxl on my 8gb card : every time I do inpainting or img2img the result has lower saturation than the original, it's me or what? Assigning a VAE do not solve 😢
There are a lot of bugs on new version so it will take a while for all to get fixed, this has a similar problem github.com/lllyasviel/stable-diffusion-webui-forge/issues/1189 and if you look at the list of open issues are like 600 github.com/lllyasviel/stable-diffusion-webui-forge/issues
@@pixaroma thank you for your answer!
which GPU do you recommend for the lower budget?
Any Nvidia rtx that you can afford, more VRAM the better. Minimum 6-8 GB of vram, but if you can get more you will generate faster
I wanted to ask, I have models and loras in my fooocus folder. is it possible to copy and paste them to the appropriate forge folders? Or do I have to redownload them from civitai? ORRR...(is there a better way to have these models linked from my fooocus to my forge folder that could help on saving space on my cpu)...... I rather not redownload them or copy the file over so i dont fill up my harddrive.
I am adding a few hours a tutorials for forge, and how to link the automatic folder to forge, probably you can do something similar with the fooocus paths. I dont have focus to test it but it worked with the path of automatic1111. Also if you have it once you just copy them in the right location no need to redownload them.
thank you for the reply! I wonder if it will work linking fooocus folder to forge..i guess it is worth a try. ANy idea when your vid will be dropping for that so I can keep an eye out for it?@@pixaroma
I just added it like an hour ago, look for the thumbnail with under the hood in the title with an engine

i see you are using v1.5, do you get the same on sdxl? I got that error recently but not on control net but when i used an extension at different image size. It works at 1024x1024px? I got that error on different sizes, but worked at 1024x1024px. I dont used v1.5 anymore since sdxl appeared.
so i tried with sdxl control net and i get the same error if i use certain sizes, for example it works if is 1024x1024px, or 1024x576px, but i get that error if i use 1200x672, or 912x512 or 1024x816

Greetings, it shows CUDA stream activated: False in cdm does it affect this Stable Difussion? If I have to also activate CUDA how do I do that?
Mine is off also, can be activated with some command in the bat, I tried but made my generation slower not faster so i left it deactivated, it appears as suggestions on the cmd window when you start and there is also a command I think, i don't remember now, just i know activated was slower for me
You solved the problem I was actually worried about the output speed. So I don't have to worry about CUDA but the internet connection, it should be sometimes fast sometimes slow which affects the output speed. Thanks for the tutorial above.
How do I share existing models on A1111 with forge?

@@ZeroCool22 i think it was some problems with ad detailer, and some extensions. For control net for example for me only works if image size width and height is divisible by 64. But just try for things that works and work faster and use a1111 or other for things that doesn't work :)
I have NVIDIA graphic card but i get this error when run forge: Torch is not able to use GPU; add --skip-torch-cuda-test to COMMANDLINE_ARGS variable to disable this check. how can I solve this?
so in the last month there has been a lot of updates to the forge ui, today I am working on an update video with what is new. Go to this discussion page to see what they changed and in comments some people had the same problem like yours and it seems has something to do with forge, on the bottom of the page you can see comments and click to load more comments, and with ctrl+f you can search for "torch is" to find comments that have those words github.com/lllyasviel/stable-diffusion-webui-forge/discussions/981 also check this page in the comments how some used different settings in arguments - github.com/AUTOMATIC1111/stable-diffusion-webui/issues/1742
i dont have a update.bat file. where do i find it? i can run forge just fine but been trying to find out how to update.
Should be next to run.bat and environment.bat a file called update.bat i have it there since installation, your should have it to. Just careful with updates to have a good stable version, check this video ruclips.net/video/RZJJ_ZrHOc0/видео.htmlsi=rF-9wCmzResJiW3L

You should have a folder for lora, look at this video how i download and where i put them ruclips.net/video/q5MgWzZdq9s/видео.htmlsi=nKX2enJ7KPEAoGIF
It don't mess with the normal AUTO installation, it use his own ENV?
Yeah you can have both it doesn't mess with a1111 or others
Using RUN I got the following error: "Torch is not able to use GPU: add --skip-torch-cuda-test to COMMANDLINE_ARGS variable to disable this check"
Does this mean my GPU will not work for this? I have a GTX 1660 Ti with 6GB GDDR6. Not a new card, but it's getting me by. No good?
I am not sure, try to add what they recommend, add --skip-torch-cuda-test to COMMANDLINE_ARGS, so copy --skip-torch-cuda-test and then open the webui-user.bat with notepad and paste it there after the equal sign, where it says set COMMANDLINE_ARGS=, should be set COMMANDLINE_ARGS= --skip-torch-cuda-test and see if that works. For me it worked on 6gb vram but was on rtx4090, is still a new UI so it might still have bugs.
I received same error and tried suggested command. Restarted run.bat and got new error saying no NVIDIA driver on your system. Makes sense because I have AMD video card. Simply put this is only for NVIDIA users.
I have Forge installed via Pinokio but it doesn't look anything like this. Can I install this standalone version on a drive other than my C: drive?
You can install on any drive, i have on D mine, you just create a folder where you want and put the installation files there and run it
@@pixaroma Cheers! I'll give it a go, as no tutorials seem to match the Pinokio version
