[@Kalabrese119]

Thanks for the detailed instructions! I'd love to try out Fooocus but minimum requirements show 16GB VRAM for AMD systems and I have an RX 7700 XT GPU (12GB). Does that mean it would not even run/generate images on my system at all, or just very slowly?

[@josel5831]

Thanks for sharing, i can't believe how easy it's to install and use and the quality is amazing.

[@gu9838]

this program is amazing. when i first loaded it i thought it was just overly simplified. but did not realize it has a LOT of nice uniqjue features built in as well as one of the BEST face swappers ive used def worth a try DONT be turned off by its simple looking interface at first!

[@josel5831]

Wow, by far the easiest and best quality one I have tried.

[@francofx]

I love fooocus so much, I’ve been using it for a couple months on my 16vram gpu. Amazing tool! This is the most user friendly sdxl version out there.

[@diverspudph1310]

Thank you for this! Helps me get started! Most useful!

[@loar_ax]

How about privacy? Are input or output images reuploaded to the image data pool for the AI to learn?

[@stanky98035]

Right to the point and easy to understand, thanks.

[@gu9838]

the face swapper in foocus is amazing way better then other options out there. but it does NOT JUST seem to copy the face but hair, skin and apparently maybe even body type. awesome!

[@robpom5501]

Nah the face swap is decent for sure though reactor or roop are straight up better, if Fooocus get's dreambooth and reactor I'd purely use it and holy crap does it make things easier plus the results are waaaaaaaaaaaaaaay more consistent in my time using it while also looking a damn sight better

[@TechnBlog]

Thanks for your video, really useful! I have a question: is there a way to make an AI generate subject holding another object taken from a picture? For example, I've generated a character, now I want him to hold a particular videogame controller. Is there a way to make this happen using a controller photo as input? Thanks

[@stevensmith4213]

[@jhonnydt]

Hey man, thank you so much for this!!!! Appreciate the help. Let me ask you, I downloaded the MRE version, and it's not appearing those Styles for me, do I have to download them from somewhere?? I'm still new to this, getting to read the Wiki now. I appreciate any help you can give me!

[@Pawel_Mrozek]

Invoke AI is the solution for people who wants functionality without sacrificing any new features combine with easy interface. Much more advanced that Fooocus yet easy to learn. In addition, as you progress, you can use more and more advanced functions such as nodes, just like in Comfy UI, all in one common environment.

[@Average_Bloodborne_Enjoyer]

i've been playing around with fOoOcus for a few month now, and i still have an issue i can't fix. i have 100s of food photos from back when i was a chef and want to use them in combination with my new table xD it sounds odd but basically, i want to use fOoOcus to add those foods to my table, as if i snap a photo of them ON MY TABLE. any idea on how i can make that haappen?

is it possible using AMD graphic card??

[@davidpurple3698]

Thanks. Do you have a video how to install all this and SD on a Mac ?

[@SionMusica]

I never bothered to try Fooocus cos I thought it wouldnt be as good as A1111 but your video convinced me to give it a try simply cos of how convenient it looks. Thanks for the video.

[@ArtificallyIntelligentAi]

Ya it's much more convenient and faster. I also just link to my existing A1111 files so I can jump back into A1111 if i need the full control net suite. I'm not sure if all control net models are back up and working with SDXL though. Funny thing is Illyasville (the guy that made fooocus) is the control net guy so it's weird his tool doesn't have all of the control net pre processors.

[@SionMusica]

@@ArtificallyIntelligentAi haha. That is indeed funny. Please do a followup video on fooocus mre as well, if possible.

Its pretty bad that, when you create a low quality image to see if the prompt works, but you like the image that much and click the "quality" check mark, that it just creates a whole new image instead of the image you first saw and liked in better quality... am i missing osmething?

[@photoman123456]

Is it possible to create animations with fooocus?

[@streamtabulous]

i run a1111 on a gtx1070 SDXL1 is up to about 2min to render, newer sdxl1.5 up is faster, its a old 8gig card not issues at 1024 render size, i then do the upscale with gigapixle as its better than SD upscale where the vram can be a issue in that aspect. Easy diffusion is one click. I'll test Fooocus though. Easy Diffusion is definitely more user friendly than fooocus for people that are new..

[@ArtificallyIntelligentAi]

Yup 8Gig is the key for A1111 and the min req. but if you start playing with the resolution sizes you might get an out of vram error. My 1660TI with 6GB of Vram can't even do the 512 render that gets upscaled to 1024. I could do it with Fooocus though. I'm starting to prefer Fooocus > Comfy UI then > A1111. Still love A1111 but it can use some optimization and simplification.

[@streamtabulous]

@@ArtificallyIntelligentAi made a video to help the issue you are having in a1111 will fix your memory errors, plus figure after you do it you can pass the information to others also. this works for 2gig and 4gig NVIDIA laptops too I have read. i deep dived forums to learn about, lot of gtx960 users told me about it. kzbin.info/www/bejne/ipOpg4t6mbymqassi=wYxXYcth-RBkthhn

[@TheDendra]

@@ArtificallyIntelligentAi do you have some guide on how to add and use custom models to fooocus?

[@rennynolaya2457]

What is your graphics model and vram memory to generate the images so quickly?

[@ArtificallyIntelligentAi]

its a 4070 some of it was cut but with very fast it was a 5-10 second render and an average of 10-30 for normal quality images. Depends on the type of image.

[@mastabas]

@@ArtificallyIntelligentAi Not gonna hold you to it, but do you think that a 3060 with 12gb would do pretty well? I'm not too worried about the time it takes, moreso running out of ram

[@ArtificallyIntelligentAi]

@@mastabas yes, better than my more expensive 3070 which only has 8gb of vram and the 3060 should still be pretty quick. The biggest concern is not having enough. 12 is pretty good and it gets super expensive for the 24gb models 3090 and 4090

You can switch to the v1.5 model that uses a lot less vram if your not trying to use sdxl specifically. I think it downloads it automatically but let me know if you need help trying that I can walk u through it. The base model isn’t great for 1.5 but on the site civitai they have really nice custom models comparable to sdxl
