You need high-quality AI image generation and think only cloud services and closed source can deliver?
Think again!
Tools like „Fooocus“ paired with an average graphics card (an NVIDIA GTX1070 will do) and open-source stable diffusion SDXL turbo models like „DreamShaper XL“ will do the job just fine.
Benefits:
- Unlimited image generation paid by your energy bill only.
- Free open-source tool(s).
- Free (mostly) open-source models (check each model’s terms of service before printing T-Shirts with them!).
- Mostly uncensored models. Depending on what you crave, this is a blessing or a curse.
- A vibrant, ultra-fast, and global open-source community of creative tools and models.
The images below were created with the aforementioned turbo model. Admittedly, it takes some tweaking, forum reading, and fine-tuning to get the job done, but once you have your preferences set, you can go wild.
