👋

[@fuzzymuppet1990]

In text 2 image , please try reactor + ip adapter face together, just use the same face input for both, u can can even use that reference image you used in your example in img2img. Use realistic vision 5.1 with cfg at 3.5 and use more basic prompts . You will be blown away by the quality and authenticness of your face. It will even do your full beard in all its glory with no extra prompting!

[@jonescrusher1]

Something to check if you're having trouble with errors when running the extension - make sure you disable roop in the extensions tab before running reactor,

[@ritpop]

I test this yesterday, I had good results. I tested too the facelab and was pretty good too. Is nice because of hard angles it can get.

[@Mimeniia]

ReActor and Faceswaplab are the goats at the moment.

[@pogiman]

hi Olivio.. I love you 😍 you always make very easy to understand tutorial you're the best

[@jcvijr]

I didn’t like roop first time I tested... These methods are better, thank you again!

[@SlappyMarsden]

Now we know what Olivio's mugshot might look like if he ever got in trouble with the law...🤣

[@OlivioSarikas]

ai gangsta for life 😂

[@MadazzaMusik]

Been using this for a few weeks now and it's amazing how it can make your face from a single image. I've only tested with sdxl and it's flawless

[@mirek190]

I think earlier and better is to use a controlnet face swap with a comfy UI ...

[@digidope]

ipAdaper face swap works even with videos.

[@zynga726]

It creates a 3D model of the source and target faces and then tries to match one with the other so the orientations are the same. It's pretty amazing.

[@ZirkoMirko]

fun! thanks Olivio

[@zaselimgamingvideos6881]

so i am getting reActor status running but i still don't have anything in the insightface\models folder. It download the inswapper_128.onnx file in the main folder (insightface) but it didnt download the models. How do download the models? Never mind, A1111 downloaded it when I used the extension during generation.

[@ParvathyKapoor]

Getting this work had to go through lot of pain! i somehow finally made it work

[@OlivioSarikas]

same. took me 1 hour to figure out how to get it to run. bit of a mess to install

It is great - Thank you for the video.

I'm stuck on the part where I can install Visual Studio Community 2022 but I don't see anything called Visual Studio Build tools 2022. Is it by another name instead?

[@crobinso2010]

Click the Available tab and you'll see it listed. You only have Community installed so the Installer is showing only that.

[@Hooooodad]

Olivio, mate, awesome video, can you please do a tutorial on the video 2 video on stable diffusion? Animatediff and others , which one is better please

[@checkmate559]

ur my master seriouly i learned lot with ur videos love u from india

[@PhilippSeven]

Thank you for video! One question: why you still using xformers with torch 2.0? “-Opt-sdp-attention” is faster and use less vram than xformers on RTX card.

[@MaxHogendijk]

Works like a charm.... ✔

[@atomgamerchannel]

amazing

[@MattLind-oi5kg]

I also had problems with getting reactor to work in Comfy so I reverted back to a1111. Swapping was I was doing in my project so I couldn't go ahead with learning Comfy. Hope that gets sorted.

[@rjw8631]

hi olivio: another great vid. how about one on using SD extensions Nextview and Reactor for face swapping video? thanks, rob

[@AI_Comic_Book_Creator_GPT]

thank you a lot Olivio, we are all doing good progress ... how can we got the same pass of what you have? I want to test on google colab, I did the test, works but I think I got very basic interfase, do you have videos how to create or work with /comfyui ?

[@polygrind]

I can't find Visual studio built tools 2022 in the installer

[@Faceless1997zNipe]

its on the website itself, scroll down to "all downloads"

[@FocusedFear]

I found and installed the Visual Studio community but am not seeing where the build tools are for VS edit: So for those of you confused on where to download the build tools it's not in the installer like he would have you believe, its in the webpage where you scroll down to find the build tools exe download

[@OlivioSarikas]

thank you. I confused that in my video

[@ManzaMvsa]

Thank You!!!!

[@khajask8113]

Finally I found compared video

[@vendacious]

Can this deal with glasses and beards and different expressions like Roop? And how you you rate it versus the Roop extension repo? Thanks!

[@ChAzR89]

I've been using reactor occasionally for some weeks now and it's very good. Especiall the version specially made for nvidia gpus. Yesterday I rendered around 8k frames from a small clip with the face of mine and the outcome is astounding. (atleast if the original face is looking towards the camera, otherwise it can distort sometimes)

[@AgustinCaniglia1992]

how do you get high quality on reactor? I've just installed it and the resolution of the output is lower than the original image which is 1024*1024

[@Hooooodad]

😊very cool

[@OlivioSarikas]

thank you

[@irotom13]

Good video. Do you have an equivalent video of ComfyUI gradient @ 9:10 but for A1111 please?

[@0rurin]

same as with roop, reactor just doesn't show up after installing

[@markbillson4919]

Thank you. I tried to install this several weeks ago without success. Manually adding the [insightface] folder fixed it for me. =)

[@OlivioSarikas]

awesome, glad i could help

[@DanielSennaOfficial]

Could you share a link for the insightface folder?

[@FullStackFalcon]

Been using reactor for a month, it runs like a charm. But once reactor is used, it basically slows down every other operations like simple txt2img, img2img. Only way i found is to restart a1111 to fix it.

[@AleksaStefanRadunovic]

hey, awesome video! My insightface folder doesnt appear, and you dont really explain how you fixed that issue. Automatic1111 works, and in the cmd window when I launch it it even says that Reactor is working, but when it opens I don't have the extra options when I scroll down.

[@whalhard]

Ever tries the faceswap lab extension? I think it's even better. It can synthesize a face from a Hole batch pictures. I'm pretty sure you will love it.

[@Mimeniia]

Lotsa work involved but good yes. Im sure its animation focused only, havent used in a while.

[@blacksage81]

Not a lot of people talk about face swap lab, when I next go to make a few more characters, I'm going to try and add some expressions to the check point

[@iddeegee]

exactly, although with one reference picture they give the same (99.9% similar) result not very close to the original, but the batch can improve it by a lot

[@ParvathyKapoor]

cant find a tut for it! i just installed

[@lucianodaluz5414]

There is on youtube. I guess in Italian. I keep saying Facelab is way better than any other. Even better than Lora for people.@@ParvathyKapoor

[@samurai_korvich]

Awesome video as usual! Can you give youre "prompts" please?

[@edmoartist]

Don't know who else to ask, can you please make a video on Comfy UI inpainting at full resolution similar to how it works in A111, where it masks and renders a smaller section of the image, not the entire thing. Thanks man

[@martin231181]

The current model in Reactor can't be used for commercial work. Does anyone know if there is an alternative model to use for commercial use. Potentially at a cost?

[@chansolkim3609]

Is it higher sampling steps can effect the quality of face swap on img2img

[@zynga726]

The minimum and maximum effect are reversed. 1 is maximum and 0 is minimum even though it says the opposite in ReActor.

[@gogoldgoal]

any pure extension methods without installing distribution files on local drive?

[@tripleheadedmonkey6613]

Love the rap!

[@OlivioSarikas]

Thank you 😍

Can we select faces individually if we use image with multiple faces.

ouh lala!!

[@nicolaseraso162]

PLEASE, help me to install Face Swap in PaperSpace. I don't have the machine to use A1111 locally therefore installing Visual Studio does not make any change in the PaperSpace environment.

[@martinlutherkingjr.5582]

1:58 Any idea why I don't have an A1111 folder? I have a stable-diffusion-webui folder. Is that the same thing?

[@sreejit2100]

yes it's the same thing

[@vppromoter]

Hello, I'm wondering is there any techniques to alter face without a source? I mean can we modify hair, eyes? Particular attributes only?

[@OlivioSarikas]

you can do that by changing the text prompt. look for online prompt lists for different hair styles for example. Also you could use controlnet. that does require a photo, but you could just take a photo of yourself and use that as a tracking in openpose without it actually taking the shape of your face

[@jesusnino6244]

Hi can you show us how to set up Comfyui ReActor because I am unable to get it to work even though I do see a folder showing it is uploaded but I can not see it or figure out how to fix the issue.

[@lennoyl]

I prefer to stay on FaceSwapLab because I completely bricked my A1111 (I had to install again the whole SD with A1111) when I tried to install Reactor one week ago. Maybe I did something wrong but I prefer to no taunt the devil. Is Reactor really better or is it the same ?

[@IzakTaylor]

Any advice on how to troubleshoot the installation? I cant get reactor to launch in A111. When I start the server I get an error message to restart the server, so I restart it, and the same error occurs again. As a result reactor is never available.

[@RJMCTV]

Any method for a Macbook install of this? (ie is MS Visual Studio a pre-requisite, and will the Mac version of that work?)

[@officialmultimedia8107]

Did you get working on Mac?

[@hartdr8074]

[@aceathor]

Did you know if I can install 2 différent GPU for cumulating the Vram ? RTX 3090 Ti Fe 24G, and RTX 2070 Super 8G. equal 32G Vram I know it works for 3d rendering, but does it work for AI génerating ?

[@OlivioSarikas]

i doubt it, because as far as i know a single AI image and always only be rendered on a single GPU.

[@YusMat700]

How well does Reactor work if you want to swap a face that's not from a front angle, but more like a face looking down or profile, but the face you're swapping in is just the front view?

[@OlivioSarikas]

i would always use a face from the front angle as an input, because the ai needs to see the full face features and dimensions. you can try it with a rotated face, but the likeness will not be as good. i would also suggest to use a image that does not have a too strong face expression, but if you intend to have a smile in it, simle in the image so that ai can see what your teeth look like

[@YusMat700]

@@OlivioSarikas Thanks for your answer!

[@Longjumping-War2484]

Consider a photo for a Visa to another country. This is what the ai needs to extrapolate the contour of the face to generate multiple instances of different profiles. Per Visa/Consulate request: Need a clear & colored photo that must be taken against solid white background in neutral expressions with face cantered with clear visibility and both shoulders should be covered & within the frame; Ears should be visible, no shadow in the picture, without glasses & jewelry. Teeth should not be visible & no white cloths shouldn't be wearing in the photo. Now the teeth are optional as people have different features when smiling. Meaning some people are recognized by their smile, doesn't have anything to do with their teeth in this case. If you follow this, you will always get a perfect conversion of photos.

[@MattLind-oi5kg]

HALP! I've tried in multiple ways to install this extension to A1, but nothing seems to work. I have it checked within A1 extensions interface. The CMD gives no errors. But I can't see the drop down menu item in the main interface. One thing I discovered just now is that within the Insightface folder you mention, I do not have all the models you talk about. It is empty, apart from the file "inswapper_128.onx". How do I get it to download and fill that folder with those models?

[@MattLind-oi5kg]

I sorted it by reinstalling insightface as per this guide: VIII. (For Windows users) If you still cannot build Insightface for some reasons or just don't want to install Visual Studio or VS C++ Build Tools - do the following: Close (stop) your SD WebUI Server if it's running Download and put prebuilt Insightface package into the stable-diffusion-webui (or SD.Next) root folder (where you have "webui-user.bat" file) From stable-diffusion-webui (or SD.Next) root folder run CMD and .\venv\Scripts\activate Then update your PIP: python -m pip install -U pip Then install Insightface: pip install insightface-0.7.3-cp310-cp310-win_amd64.whl Enjoy!

[@wboumans]

So its still Roop? Using the 128x128 lowres insightface model. Ill pass.

[@Macieks300]

The results look the exact same as roop to me and from the other comments they use the same model underneath so they are in fact the exact same.

[@OlivioSarikas]

yes, but you need more than just the model. It's like saying you use android, so why are there different phones. because different developers still bring different ways to use the same thing. for example i can't remember that roop ever tracked the age and gender of a person in the photo

[@TanvirsTechTalk]

@@OlivioSarikasif roop developer was still working he would have added it. the co developer is now working on facefusion and face fusion has age gender etc built in. but it sucks in detection as roop algorithm is better

[@OlivioSarikas]

you make a new folder and call it "insightface"

[@Shredwonder666]

I am having problems with objects over the face. Reactor doesn't overlap objects over or in front of the faces, it just draws the face over the objects. How to achieve this?

[@Trinketorium]

I cant get it to look anything like the photo - used a high quality clear full on face pic I took, and no matter how I use it it just looks like a vague-ish version

[@gwcstudio]

Seems like it ought to be possible to make a blender model that outputs openpose poses. Are you aware of anyone doing this? It outght to be a pretty easy geometry to rig.

[@jesse8068]

They all use the same model (insightface 128), so how are they better?

[@GunnyNinja]

Faceswaplab has built in upscaling.

[@masroorbabar3381]

@@GunnyNinja that upscaling is applied to whole image, not only the face, so the face remains low resolution as compare to whole body/image

[@GunnyNinja]

@@masroorbabar3381I should clarify, mostly I am using Faceswaplab as a replacement for dreambooth. The face is rendered at the same resolution as the image. So, in img2img, you are correct. Still looks better than what I got from Roop GE(reactor).

[@ManzaMvsa]

Glad to hear that it worked for you. I reloaded the UI and still is not showing up. I saw files like w600k_r50.onnx missing from the original gitHub page link. I don't know why but for some reason the only file after the installation that was showing in my folder was inswapper_128.onnx nothing else. No buffalo_l folder and the rest of the modules were all missing. why? I have no idea. I had to search the web and find all the different modules and manually download them and put them in the proper place and still is not working.

[@Shakespeare1612]
