Umi, the Cryoverse AI

Umi AI v0.35: The Embed Repository (+4 New AI Models!) MAJOR UPDATE

Added 2023-02-01 14:00:27 +0000 UTC

Hey there everyone, be you a Cryoverse Reader or an Umi AI aficionado! Today's post represents a huge epoch leap in what Umi AI can do, and what its overall purpose is.

To be honest, this update isn't quite up to my standards, but it will do for now. It's extremely hard to write documentation and update this tool as one of three major projects, so I'm kinda just doing what I can, as I can, when I can.

I have added the following things to Umi AI, so when you update the extension or install it for the first time (Install Guide here) you will have full access to these:

NOTE: You must update webui and Umi AI to have access to these! UPDATE THEM BOTH!

1. You may now access embeds and their previews once your WebUI and Umi AI are updated. Embeds are sorted carefully by category and will be very easy to scroll.

(Click the red button below Generate to access the Embeds)

Once inside, it might take a minute to load, but you'll be able to access the wall of Embeds I have added. Most importantly, I have also added previews for most of them. Unfortunately, making all these previews was very time consuming, so I don't have all the ones that I would like.

Additionally, many previews are not of a particularly high quality. I generated all of them with Face Restore off, so any irl people or irl models will often have garbled and ugly faces. I plan to remedy this in the future, but I only have so much time to work on Umi AI!

Anyway...

2. Umi AI now has four associated AI models you can and, frankly, SHOULD use with it. These models can all be downloaded at the relevant Civtai page, and include previews for what they can do. Note: Many of the previews are NSFW. These models are fully capable of doing SFW and NSFW.

Olympus Landscapes: A model that generates extremely high quality landscapes, space battles, and fantasy settings. It can also generate very high quality anime characters, though that is not its primary purpose.

Aphrodite Realgirls: A model that generates extremely lifelike human women, but also men as well. It can do SFW and NSFW alike, and it is extremely flexible in how you can prompt it!

Macross Anime Embed: This model is one of two Macross-version Anime models. It can do pretty much anything involving anime well. It can generate male and female characters, monsters, demons, etc. It can even do landscapes decently, though Olympus reigns supreme. However, this model is best used with the many embeddings you will find on Civtai. If you like Embeddings, give Umi AI a try!

Macross Anime Hi-Res: This model is very similar to the one above. However, it is especially focused on making high-resolution images. I was unable to upload a ton of preview images for this model on Civtai, but trust me when I say it works best with the Remacri Upscaler (Place Remacri inside stable-diffusion-webui\models\ESRGAN and reload WebUI) and Hi-Res. It's also not very good with embeddings. Those issues may be ironed out later on!

...

For this release I did NOT get much work done with the YAML tags. Everything went on the back-burner to focus on the embeds and models. In the near future, I'll be integrating the embeds and models along with my upcoming prompt fixes and improvements.
