edit: after spending an entire day wasted on this, i give up. i’m tech saavy but this is way way too much work and i’m working blind. Hopefully someday this is packaged up in a way that we can just buy it and run it. I’d pay real money for the ability to run the model as it is today completely offline on my own LAN. Ideally something I could just checkout, run and then hit localhost to run.
I’ve been really interested in reproducing perchances image generator locally. I’ve installed lots of UI, tried lots of models including SD 1.5, top ones from civitai, and flux schnell and have gotten nowhere close (maybe 60%) to what perchance generates. Mainly it just gets details wrong and the faces look terrible and warped. Despite going with a bunch of iterations and tweaking all the settings I know.
Does anyone else know what else I can try?
Perchance model is FLUX Chroma.

It’s def more than flux chroma. I tried that exact model and it’s missing details that perchance gets right all the time. It may be the UI I’m using (AUTOMATIC111/stable-diffusion-webui). I’m on macOS, but I have a 48 GB machine which supposedly can run these models and I am getting images out of it, just not the same ones that’s I get online.
I almost feel like perchance is combining multiple models or doing something more complex than just using a single one.
You ask for info , I give info. Why so distrustful?
Not distrustful. Just respectfully disagreeing
You are disagreeing because of your own ego. Stop it.
I’m not looking to claim any points.
