Fascinating - do you know anything about training a LoRa? I have a niche fetish (macrophilia if curious) and I’d like to create a model that can generate images but I haven’t been able to find much in the way of resources on this
I could probably dig up the web scraper I put together to harvest training data from a specific imageboard - getting text to go with it is gonna be a trick though since the images on that board don’t have titles, just tags
Do you know how to use Automatic1111? if so, it can very handily preprocess your images and then https://github.com/Linaqruf/kohya-trainer can create the lora.
I think about a weeks playing and you would start to get decent output.
Sadly ive never been able to try, I can barely generate images as I only have 3gb of VRAM (and 4GB is the minimum). I did have a quick look and found this: civatai. I also took a look on the the Unstable Diffusion subreddit and found somebody who makes the type of content you are looking for. They don’t use a LoRA but instead pose with action figures and then use stable diffusion to replace the figures with models, interesting approach which works pretty well but a lot more involved ofc
