    STOP! THESE MODELS ARE NOT FOR PROMPTING/IMAGE GENERATION

    Note: These are the OG ControlNet models - the Latest Version (1.1) Models are HERE.

    These are the models required for the ControlNet extension, converted to Safetensor and "pruned" to extract the ControlNet neural network. I have tested them, and they work.

    These models are embedded with the neural network data required to make ControlNet function, they will not produce good images unless they are used with ControlNet.

    The original version of these models in .pth format can be found here. BUT YOU DO NOT NEED THESE .pth FILES! The files I have uploaded here are direct replacements for these .pth files!

    • control_sd15_canny

    • control_sd15_depth

    • control_sd15_hed

    • control_sd15_scribble

    • control_sd15_normal

    • control_sd15_openpose

    • control_sd15_seg

    • control_sd15_mlsd

    Download these models and place them in the \stable-diffusion-webui\extensions\sd-webui-controlnet\models directory.

    Note: these models were extracted from the original .pth using the extract_controlnet.py script contained within the extension Github repo.

    Has there been any differences noticed? or is it really perfectly the same but less size

    I tested, was able to achieve 1:1 results with the full size models. They're not "pruned" in the traditional way - the Neural Net used by ControlNet is extracted with a special script.

    dr_dark_flamesFeb 17, 2023

    @theally much appreciated

    This might be really stupid but what's the "other stuff" in those 5G files then?

    @mindframe this also applies to full versions of trained checkpoints vs pruned versions - the pruned versions have discarded data used in the training of the larger models, which doesn't affect the actual image generation (or affects it very slightly).

    You'll sometimes see the term full-ema on unpruned models, this refers to Exponential Moving Average, and is a checkpoint on which training can be resumed. These 5GB files are, I suspect, full EMA models.

    You're amazing! Am I correct that these can be used in place of the corresponding 5.71GB control net models on Hugging Face? Or do we still need those?

    The Neural Net code has been extracted, much like pruning a normal checkpoint model. They still produce the same results as the 5GB versions, they're just a lot smaller.

    So, this is like the light version (pruned) of the original Controlnet models? (which consumes a lot of space!)

    Hug Thanks! These allowed me to work with controlnet, I cannot use normal r depth they have memory issues but the others are working. When I saw original size I figured I was out of luck.

    Overall, these work better for me than the "difference" models. I have tried a variety of Denoise/Weight combos and models too, so 🤷🏻‍♂️

    It's personal preference, for sure. They're just... different :)

    Daedalus_7Feb 18, 2023

    @theally Now the real question would be, is it possible to merge these too? I think merging depth, canny, and OpenPose "should" considerably improve outputs. Right? :)

    @Jaxx We were just discussing this - only one way to find out!

    Daedalus_7Feb 22, 2023· 1 reaction

    @theally This has now been implemented. Just update the extension to the latest version, Go to Settings > ControlNet > Multi ControlNet: Max models amount (requires restart)

    and you can set the slider from 1 to 10!

    Apply settings and restart (with cmd). Now you can see several ControlNets to be applied in sequency. Have fun!? :)

    Any hints why I got this error while using 'depth' or 'normal_map' as the preprocessor:

    AssertionError: Controlnet is enabled but no input image is given

    I have tried different input images, still not working. Other options are fine. Even the 'depth_leres' can generate a depth image. I really have no clue what could go wrong😕

    Very odd! Sorry you're having an issue. Is your ControlNet updated to the most recent version?

    Liuhao2bFeb 18, 2023· 1 reaction

    @theally Thanks for your response. It's because of my corrupted annotator files. Due to my bad networking, maybe? Someone has mentioned similar issues here: https://github.com/Mikubill/sd-webui-controlnet/issues/152 After re-downloading the dpt_hybrid-midas-501f0c75.pt file, nothing bugs me anymore.

    Again, huge thanks for your efforts!

    I had issues with depth and normal I found reloading again seemed to fix depth. Seems anytime it gets mixed up maybe too many etra elements loaded between ckpt, upscalers, controlnet models etc. it needs a forced refresh.
    Loving the results I think scribble is my fav so far.

    Quick question what model should be used in Txt2Img? It seem all model working fine in IMG2IMG but not doing well for Text2IMG ones . Or those awesome features only work for IMG2IMG only ?

    Feb 20, 2023

    All the models I've uploaded here work in the txt2img tab just the same as in the img2img tab. Just make sure you're choosing the correct pre-processor.

    juvesatrianiFeb 21, 2023

    @theally Thanks for info . I`m using Colab ( and symlink to load pre processor model from another Gdrive accounts ) so maybe my setup not correct and caused those problems. Because I`m always getting blank second image in Text2IMG . In img2img everything seem normal and perfectly loaded . Gonna try fresh install Automatic1111 later / Thanks again

    Two reasons; when I posted this, there was no official pruned version. I extracted from the 5GB model and posted here prior to pruned versions going up on HF.

    Second, lots of folk don't like to use HF - their interface leaves a lot to be desired, and I guess, lastly - for visibility. ControlNet is a game-changer for SD!

    For some reason the pruned ones on Huggingface did not work for me, but theally's models worked. So I'm very glad she did it and shared it with us :)

    alley71267814Apr 1, 2023

    if you already checked the lowvram in controlnet, try add command --medvram in sd_user.bat, but it will increase more time to generate images, you can see details in Github-AUTOMATIC11111-issues page.

    It doesn't claim to be. Make sure you read the information in the model card for additional information. This is a widely-known and widely-accepted model set for creating some great images. You will find it to be very useful if you read the information and follow the directions. I hope this helps.
