Local models

[guzuligo]

Instead of using 🤗's API, I'd like to use local models. Is there a way, or does that have to be developed?

The addon does generate locally, using the diffusers package (created by Hugging Face). DreamStudio is the only cloud option preset.

If you’re referring to using a diffusers-format model you trained locally, you can place the folder in C:\Users\YOURUSER\.cache\huggingface\diffusers

I pasted it there but it doesn't seem I can choose it .🫤

Are there any errors in Window > Toggle System Console?

Also ensure that the folder structure is correct, it should be one folder deep, with a model_index.json file at the top level:

• your_model_folder
  • model_index.json
  • unet/
  • vae/
  • …

I just have a ckpt. How can I construct a json for it?

Oh, then you need to use the “Import Checkpoint” button in the preferences :)

Here’s the instructions for that: https://github.com/carson-katri/dream-textures/blob/main/docs/SETUP.md#importing-checkpoints

The model would need to be in diffusers format if you wanted to just place it there.

No import button =/

Seems you have downloaded a DreamStudio-only version of the addon. You need to get one that supports local generation, such as the CUDA version: https://github.com/carson-katri/dream-textures/releases/tag/0.0.9
