Civitai Beginners Guide To AI Art // #3 File Management // Easy Diffusion 3.0 & Automatic 1111

Welcome to the Official Civitai Beginners Guide to Stable Diffusion and AI Art!

In this video we will walk through all of the most important file and asset types you will need to download and install to generate AI images with Stable Diffusion locally. We will go over what the files are for, what they do, and how to install them into your directories.

In the process, you will also be learning how to utilize the Civitai website to get whatever assets you need.

Throughout the weeks, we will be uploading new videos to help get you started on your journey to becoming a master image generator.

This series has been awesome, so much stuff I missed in setting things up.

[agent]

I just watched your other videos about this subject. Thank you for walking thru everything. Can't wait for the next one!

[davidgiangola]

It's hard to overemphasize how important this stuff is. It's boring and annoying but your drive will absolutely be swamped with superfluous/redundant files if you don't plan it well. Especially when you're dropping enormous safetensors in the wrong folders, then losing them, then getting annoyed and duplicating them into any folder you think might get them working, etc. And when you need only three or four files from a git folder, but you have no idea which ones or where to put them, so of course you get them all and put them everywhere. I'm rewinding a bit myself after an insane few months of brute-forcing it. Everything works great, but I know my workflows are super inefficient. There are surprisingly few appropriately detailed walkthroughs around. If a tutorial doesn't tell you exactly what a file does and exactly where it goes and why, it's not very helpful if it doesn't work on the first go. Pay attention guys. Thanks for this series. It's hitting all the spots that I really didn't understand at all when I started.

[lemongrassq]

what about ControlNet extension in the description of ControlNet 1.1 Models? Do I need to download it?

[inesjbili]

Thanks a lot for this video and all the other ones, I felt completely lost about stable diffusion !! Can't wait for the next one, when will it come out ? :))

[RokSlana]

Super useful. Thank you for sharing the knowledge !

[NeerajKumarIntegrity]

no control net folder in web ui should create one or there is another way to it

[AuricMists]

How do you manage the fact that some of the downloaded filenames have absolutely no bearing on the names of, for instance, the Lora name?
An example is the Lora 'Pony Add more details' which has the filename - quite a misleading filename and nothing connecting it to the Lora name.
Secondly, some filenames clash - I have seen 2 different Loras where the only difference is the case of some characters - and we all know that windoze can't distinguish between upper and lower case when it comes to handling files - Linux users are spared this inadequacy, however.
I know you don't have control over what users end up calling their files but I'd suggest, for starters, to at least have the filename visible on the Lora etc. description page.

I'm a tad confused. So, you only need to put the files in the Auto1111 folder if you intend to only use Auto1111. I can guess, if you have no intention of using Auto1111, you only need to put the files in the other EasyDiffusion folder. Or do you need to put 2 sets of the files in Auto1111 and the Easy Diffusion models folder. (Edit) Managed to sort it out, thanks for taking the time to record the videos and go into detail on how to get everything setup, it is appreciated.

[otakughost]

there isnt a controlnet file on my stable diffusion even when i followed along, do I need to make one or something.

[nordtechdigital]

Just finished watching and i'm installing Auto1111 and i cannont find the ControlNet Folder, could you help me?

[Eraseyourfate]

Even thougt I folloved these tutorials strickly, some of the folder have been placed differently, and I have no controlnet-folder at all. 😭

[Ausgang]

Why there is no controlnet folder in my automatic1111..hm

[Zachwhite]

Okay so basically u put the same download, into ur easy diffusion folder and then once in ur auto1111 folder.

Rinse and repeat
