Thanks for the tutorial! Complicated AF, but still thanks for your work. I'll rewatch it a couple of times.

I noticed your control net files have the prefix "diff_" unlike the originals, should we add that?

Quick question: Is this completely free to use?
I've tried a couple different AI Art Generators so far, but they only offered a limited trial, after which you have to purchase a paid plan. I'm looking for something Free to use and it seems like Stable Diffusion might be the way to go?
