⚠️ Help, AI Render is not working for me

If you are experiencing a bug, please create an issue on Github and I'll try to help. By far the most important thing you can do is find and share the error log. There are instructions for finding this on the issue page.

⚠️ I'm getting blurred images

Occasionally Stable Diffusion returns blurred images, for two reasons:

  1. It has a filter for NSFW images, and will censor what it thinks isn't safe. Sometimes this is a false positive.
  2. Your initial image and the prompt are far enough apart that the result is just a blur between the start and where Stable Diffusion would have eventually gone. Try increasing Steps under Advanced Options in the AI Render panel. (And also use a new/random seed).

⚠️ Can I use a local installation of Stable Diffusion?

Yes! You can use Automatic1111 locally. See the local installation instructions for more details.

⚠️ I'm getting the same image every time

  1. Try decreasing Image Similarity under Advanced Options in the AI Render panel. Something in the range of 0.15-0.3 will give results that are pretty different from the initial image. Values around 0.6-0.7 will give results that are pretty close to the initial image.

  2. Use a new (or random) Seed under Advanced Options in the AI Render panel. The seed is the starting point for the AI generation, and changing it by even 1 gives a completely new start.

⚠️ AI Render keeps timing out

Here are ways to avoid a timeout:

  1. Decrease your image size. This is the most important thing you can do. Larger image sizes take exponentially longer. You can use an AI upscaler like https://www.upscale.media/ to upscale your final image.

  2. Use DreamStudio as your Stable Diffusion backend. DreamStudio is much faster than Stable Horde, and faster than Automatic1111 on most people's machines. Change the backend in the AI Render add-on preferences.

  3. Try again later 😢. Sometimes a lot of people are using DreamStudio at the same time, and it increases the potential for timeouts.

⚠️ My image is too dark or too light

The Color Management in Blender affects both the initial rendered image and the Stable Diffusion image. Change Look to None under Color Management in the Render Properties panel.

⚠️ My images are just so stunning, I freaked out
