A Beginner's Guide to Fooocus

[@hanynagy8969]

VERY HELPFUL VIDEO!!!!!!! Keep the great work.

[@synacktime]

Really appreciate that!! :)

One of the things I found hard w/ fooocus is that it was hard to get it to do body movements like bent knees, for example. It seemed to be procing all of my images with the hands on top of the head. So I found it was doing the opposite of what I told it. So I used reversed psychology & prompted, "hands on head" and it would put hands any where else when using random.

[@synacktime]

Interesting! I'll have to give that a try :)

[@dramalexi]

Thank you very much. You're explanations are so easy to follow. It seems Fooocus is much more complex than I thought.

[@synacktime]

Happy to help!! You should look at comfy-ui, that thing can get crazy complicated 😂

I wish I would have known about Fooocus earlier. Great AI generator. Thanks for the tutorial.

[@synacktime]

Right!? I love it so much.. can't beat the customization and the price tag ;)

[@O-8-15]

@@synacktime also that we can import SDXL models and LoRas. It''s ComfyUI without the node sallad. : )

[@septicbrainfluid]

thanks, good tutorial

[@synacktime]

Thank you so much!

[@AiforGrandmas1]

Great info. I dont have an Nidia chip so Im running on Google Colab. Kind of frustrating because sometimes it will just cut you off and you have to re-install. Can you explain how to add the Loras through Colab?

[@buffalonan]

Thank you, very good and dynamic introduction! I just started playing with fooocus and is great to have as OSS

[@synacktime]

That's awesome! Once you've become familiar with the way image diffusion works, check out ComfyUI. It's a little more complicated but pretty cool once you get used to it :)

You're so very welcome!!

Hi, can you give advice how to prompt to turn picture from anime to realistic movie scene?

[@synacktime]

Have you looked on civitai or huggingface for a cartoon to realism LoRa? You might need to keep your eye out for a realism checkpoint too. I did a search on civitai and had some good results.

[@ricky-xx2sb]

@@synacktime thank you so much, i will try. Have a good day!

[@synacktime]

@@ricky-xx2sb Let me know how it works for you! Very cool idea!

[@mysticgatekeeper]

Thank you for your video. I found it very helpful but I do have question I hope you'll be able to offer a suggestion with. I rendered out a nice forest scene with trees and colorful vegetation at the max res of: 1728 x 576. I would like to upscale it to poster size (16 x 20 inch). When I upscaled the image (upscale fast 2x), the detail became blurred and washed out. Could you please assist in suggesting what I need to do in order to end up with a high res poster size image? I'm still learning the ropes here so I don't fully understand all the techniques. Thank you.

[@synacktime]

Hey Mysticgatekeeper, not ignoring you but just haven't had a chance to experiment. Never did such a big increase in resolution :) I'll have to try it on my side, there might be a certain checkpoint that's really good at enhancing lower resolution images.

[@mysticgatekeeper]

@@synacktime Hi. Thanks for replying. I actually experimented and discovered a solution that worked for me. I took my final image and enlarged it x2. I then took that image and did the same. The image resolution, detail and clarity were perfect. It worked.

If you're going to state this is a Beginner's Guide then slow down and explain what you are doing. And NO Fooocus did not automatically open in a browser after installing. Furthermore, how do you get it to open at all?

[@synacktime]

Sorry you're having problems, my dood! Try opening a command prompt in the root of the Fooocus folder and running this command: .\python_embeded\python.exe -s Fooocus\entry_with_update.py

[@Reaverhimself]

Is it safe ? I have a fear after seeing the installation process feels like someone is talking control over my pc so just to make sure Do you have any trouble using Fooocus ? BTW great video brother I like all of your contain keep it up ❤️

[@synacktime]

I run it all the time and so far I haven't noticed anything suspicious. 😊 Thank you for the compliment!!

YOU CAN'T begin anything on fooocus because this god awful setup of a software by of course, the knuckle heads over at google, won't even download on every computer. And mine is brand new. That's google for ya. Always putting crap out before they work all the nasty kinks and nuts out of their products. It's so good nobody can download it. The community site is packed with people saying the same thing. Wasted over 3 hours monkeying around with this stuff. Maybe because its not that great as it seems is why Windows kept telling me not to RUN the program. Not that it mattered. This entire process is so bad its embarrassing. Worse, this software is NOT FREE. NO matter what they say. They asked me for money to choose a plan and I hadn't even used the free one yet. As usual, nothing is as easy and simple as they are portrayed in instruction videos. because every computer is different. Google seemed to have forgotten that. Waste of time.

[@synacktime]

Sorry you've had so much trouble!
