AIGC Communities

There are many well-known AIGC communities both domestically and internationally. Here are some sites I recommend where you can download Stable Diffusion models and other LoRA resources:

Stability Official Model Repository

Below are the original release addresses for the various versions of Stable Diffusion initially released by Stability:

Stable Diffusion 1.5 https://huggingface.co/runwayml/stable-diffusion-v1-5/tree/main

Stable Diffusion 1.5 inpainting https://huggingface.co/runwayml/stable-diffusion-inpainting/tree/main

Stable Diffusion 2.0 https://huggingface.co/stabilityai/stable-diffusion-2-1/tree/main

Stable Diffusion XL (Significant improvement over previous versions, with stronger natural language understanding capabilities) https://huggingface.co/stabilityai/stable-diffusion-xl-base-1.0/tree/main

Stable Diffusion XL turbo (Faster speed, but with some loss in quality) https://huggingface.co/stabilityai/sdxl-turbo

Configuring ComfyUI Model Files

If you have experience with other GUIs (such as WebUI)

You can find the file named extra_model_paths.yaml.example in the ComfyUI directory, and rename it to extra_model_paths.yaml.

Then use a text editor to open it, and change the base path of base_path: to the address of WebUI.

After that, save the file to complete the corresponding folder sharing settings.

First-time use of Stable Diffusion

Find the path ComfyUI_windows_portable\ComfyUI\models in the portable package and place the large model into the “checkpoints” folder. If you have other corresponding files like clip, vae, loras, etc., and if available, you can put them into the corresponding folders named after the files.

The following video recommends 5 websites where you can run WebUI / ComfyUI online for free. If your computer cannot run AI drawing, you can try using them.
