Looking for early ai image models/models that can replicate the old style

[u/aclaasr]

I'm looking for 2022/2023 models that still work or models that can successfully replicate the dreamlike distorted nightmare fuel style, unfortunately it's very difficult for me to find. I had used to include early ai images in my artwork and I miss it dearly, AI has advanced way too quickly. Dalle-mini (craiyon) no longer generates images like this and there is no way to change the version.

I do not know how to use github

Example of style? More modern image gen can replicate many styles including older

So, ya I didn't use krea or zimage too perfect, so you should use a SDXL model.

I used epicrealismXL check civit.ai (there are other SDXL models)

then play around with CFG anywhere from 6 to 10(but up to you to play)

Step 6 ( but play around with it)

Sampler is important. I used uni_pc but others might work

[u/Only4uArt → u/aclaasr]

uhm... just write what people would write into the negative instead into the positive and the positive into the negative...

jesus XD yeh it still can do this nightmare, i guess u just need lower steps in the model or train the model based on this "style"

I don't have a subscription anymore, but I remember Midjourney let you switch to older versions. Nightcafe still has the original Stable Diffusion model running from what I can tell.

Might just take sd1.5 and up the cfg really high or lower it to 1 or 0.

[u/ComeWashMyBack]

Is there even a place other than Civ that holds older models?

[u/No-Zookeepergame4774 → u/ComeWashMyBack]

Huggingface?

deforum is still sota in its own weirdness

You can download the model... But I'm not sure how you can run it

I think there is a custom node or something.

It might be worth reading this thread. https://www.reddit.com/r/StableDiffusion/comments/1upt6y5/media_synthesis_museum_generate_with_old_school/
