TODO List

[x] Release the paper and demo page. Visit magicquill.art 🪩
[x] Release the code and checkpoints.
[x] Release gradio demo.
[ ] Release ComfyUI MagicQuill custom node.

Setup

git clone repo

git clone --recursive https://github.com/magic-quill/MagicQuill.git
cd MagicQuill

download and unzip checkpoints
```
wget -O models.zip "https://hkustconnect-my.sharepoint.com/:u:/g/personal/zliucz_connect_ust_hk/EWlGF0WfawJIrJ1Hn85_-3gB0MtwImAnYeWXuleVQcukMg?e=Gcjugg&download=1"
unzip models.zip
```
If the .zip file is not accessible, download it via browser. All checkpoints are about 25 GB in total. It may take some time to download. Alternatively, check our checkpoints at huggingface.

create environment

conda create -n MagicQuill python=3.10 -y
conda activate MagicQuill

install the interface

pip install gradio_magicquill-0.0.1-py3-none-any.whl

install llava environment

cp -f pyproject.toml MagicQuill/LLaVA/
pip install -e MagicQuill/LLaVA/

install the remaining environment
```
pip install -r requirements.txt
```
run magicquill
```
CUDA_VISIBLE_DEVICES=0 python gradio_run.py
```
If you are mainland user, you may try export HF_ENDPOINT=https://hf-mirror.com to use huggingface mirror to facilitate the downlaod of some necessary checkpoints to run our system.

Tutorial

Please read before you try!

<!DOCTYPE html>

I. Three type of magic quills

Use the add brush to add details and elements guided by prompts - express your ideas with your own lively strokes!

"With just a few strokes, a vivid little deer comes to life"

"Adorn the beautiful lady with a necklace"

The subtract brush can remove excess details or redraw areas based on prompts. If there's anything you're not satisfied with, just subtract it away!

"A dolphin with two tail fins? Let's give it a quick 'treatment'!"

"Let's take off Mr. Skeleton's hat and help him cool down."

Combine the add and subtract brushes to create amazing combo effects!

"Let's give Mona Lisa a pet cat~"

"Let's give this handsome fellow a new tie!"

The color brush can precisely color the image, matching the color of your brush~

"Precise color highlighting - paint exactly where you want to color"

"Don't you think the blue flowers look more dreamy than the pink ones?"

*Please note the color brush and add&subtract brush are mutually exclusive - you can only use one at a time!

II. Draw and Guess

Our brush is super smart! Look at the examples above - as soon as you finish drawing, it quickly guesses what you want to create and fills in the prompts for you~ Sometimes it might guess wrong though, so feel free to tell it what you actually want to draw~

"Oops! I don't want to draw a vine, I want to create a path!"

III. Super useful canvas tools!

Click this button to upload the photo you want to edit~

Made a mistake with the brush? Just erase it with the rubber tool!

Drag, rotate, and resize your strokes with the cursor - just like when you're working in PowerPoint!

Left is ctrl+z, right is ctrl+y - you know what that means! 😊
And for Mac users, left is command+z, right is command+shift+z! 😝

Oops! That doesn't look right 😵 - click this trash bin to delete the stroke

The brush strokes are in my way, how can I see the image😡?! Try clicking this button to temporarily hide your strokes

These two icons will appear after the image is generated...
I love this generated image 😍, I want to keep editing! ➡️ Click ✅ to continue editing
What is this thing 😡, I don't want to see it! ➡️ Click ❎ to discard the result

IV. Notes

When you see the spinning icon in the bottom left corner, it means the magicquill is still charging up 💪 Wait for it to disappear before clicking the Run button!

When the magic wand is flashing, our brush is working hard to guess what you're trying to draw 🤔 Please be patient! 🙏

V. Parameters

If you've made it here, you must really love our work! 😍
If you want to learn how to better control the generation results, don't miss this section! 😘
Next to the Run button, you can select parameters to modify advanced settings 🧐

Base Model Name: Users can adjust this to select appropriate base models for different editing styles
- SD1.5/realisticVisionV60B1_v51VAE.safetensors: This generates realistic style images! Use this most of the time.
- SD1.5/DreamShaper.safetensors: This one is for generating fantasy style images
- SD1.5/majicMIX_realistic: This one is good at generating portraits 👩
- SD1.5/MeinaMix.safetensors: This one is good at generating anime images.
- SD1.5/ghostmix_v20Bakedvae.safetensors: Another model for anime image generation.
- If there are any models you'd like to add, contact us!
Negative Prompt: Users can input content they want the model to avoid generating. Whatever you don't want to generate, put it here.
Fine Edge: Users can enable this option to activate fine edge control.
Grow Size: Adjust this parameter to set the pixel range affected around brush strokes when editing images, to expand/reduce the brush stroke influence area.
Edge Strength: Parameter for adjusting the add/subtract brush control strength. Simply put, if you're confident in your drawing skills, you can increase strength. If you're a bad drawer like us 🤦, please keep the parameter as is, or reduce the strength a bit.
Color Strength: Parameter for adjusting the color brush control strength, can adjust the image's coloring effects.
The remaining parameters are just some common parameters for diffusion models! You basically don't need to manage these, but if you're in the industry/AI art expert, feel free to try adjusting them~
