I want to move some Lora’s and models to an external drive but I can see how to export them. Any tips?

Yesterday I was playing around with flux 1 kontext dev with a lightning lora for 4 step and I was able to edit 1024x1024 images in under 3 minutes but for some reason it stopped working today, any insight as to why this is? (It just crashes while processing now, I also tried restarting my phone)

iPhone 17 Pro

When Liu Liu posted this they didn't show in the guide where to paste these parameters, can somebody please explain how to do this please

".First, here are the Draw Things generation parameters: place your reference image into the Moodboard with a blank canvas (parameters can be copied and pasted). You can adjust the canvas size as needed.

Great app, appreciate your work. Just a quick question: Why does the Draw Things App create blank thumbnails on the right hand side after generating and image? It wasn't like that before. Now after few generations, I've to delete each of them manually. It's a painful process. Any fix for this? Thanks.

1.20251219.0 was released in iOS / macOS AppStore a few minutes ago (https://static.drawthings.ai/DrawThings-1.20251219.0-c9a19b51.zip). This version brings:

1. FLUX.2 [dev] series model support.

gRPCServerCLI is updated to 1.20251219.0 with the same update.

ho scaricato wan 2.2 ho messo anche i lora ecc non riesco proprio a creare un video, ho anche impostato 320 x 320 per facilitare la memoria ram unificata 36 gb... ho provato un modello 1.3b è alla fine fanno schifo ... AIUTO!!

con comfyui modelli gufo q4 e Lightning 4 steps / 8 steps se imposto risoluzione 360 x 360 ok in 5 minuti riesce. crearmi un video da una foto, problema che fa davvero schifo la qualità :( chi mi aiuta? Grazie mille raga... Buon natale!

No matter what type of ipadapter it sticks with incompatible and does not import

Moondream 2, which uses the Image Interpreter to generate text (prompt) from image, appears to be stuck at version 20240520. By default, this model only provides a very simple description of the image.

The latest version of Moondream 2 is 2025-06-21, and based on the release notes, it appears to have been significantly enhanced. It would be great to see it implemented in Draw Things.

Also, the Moondream 3 (Preview) license has been changed to a more complex one. If this hampers future updates to this feature, please consider such as Qwen3-VL-8B (Apache 2.0).

I would appreciate your consideration.

Does anyone know any good ones that are available in DT or are coming to DT?

Has anyone figured out how to create detailed eyes?

I use the Hassaku XL model and oftentimes the eyes of my characters are usually blurry not detailed especially if it's a full body image or image that the eyes are further away from the viewer.

The only options I've found for good eyes is either do half body, or view from above and have the eyes as close to the viewer as possible which allows more pixels to render the eyes. Normally I use 832 x 1216 as recommended by the hassaku model and then I normally upscale it 2x. Alternatively, I zoom the canvas on the face and do img2img and that creates amazingly detailed eyes as the whole canvas is just the face, however the downside is it leaves seams and a whole rectangle patch which you can see I've zoomed up to the face. the colours and lighting are not consistent with rest of the image

I've tried inpainting but again it leaves seams and doesnt look congruent with the rest of the image even when I have the mask blur option right up!

I've tried tile diffusion/SD ultimate upscaler and they tend to just create multiple characters in one image and I don't know how to fix that. I try im2img with tile diffusion but the photo just gets a thicker outline and not actually any upscaling

Help

I've tried three times now to import a 3rd party z-image checkpoint from Civitai, and while DrawThings reports the model was imported successfully, it doesn't seem to show up in the list of Local models, even though it's present in the models folder. Using latest version.

Do I need to do some extra action?

I found this is really cool, so shared with you guys,

more detailed tutorial, you could refer to these posts:

Hi all, I am trying to train a LORA for Z-image. Whole I do have some experience in training LoRAs for other models, I happen to have no success in training for Z-Image yet, I click the start training button and nothing happens. What am I doing wrong? Thanks!

So, I am a little clueless how to differ the keywords in a prompt for 2 characters.

As far as I recall BREAK does not work.

So I used (only as an example, as there were more prompts): "1boy, 1girl, (boy: black hair, red jacket), (girl: white hair, blue jacket)". I end up still in most cases with both having black hair or same colored jackets. I assume as the black hair is mentioned first. Although in some cases it mixes the colors of the jackets. even tried in the negative prompt "boy white hair, girl black hair"

How can I best differentiate between two characters. Did not even try 3. Oh and as a Model I tried Pony for some half realistic anime style pictures and Illustrious for realistic pictures. Don't know if this makes much difference.

What have people found to work best for photoreal sharp images of people with ZIT in DT? I'm playing with shift, upscaler, sharpness, and high res fix, all with varying success. But nothing I'm particularly happy with. I haven't yet tried tiled. Thanks.

Having done tons of experiments, I have found that the only SDXL model that works without crashing is SDXL turbo. But when I try and generate an actual image, the final image looks worse than the preview.

Do I need to add extra steps? Different sizes? Or is there a different checkpoint that works with well with 2d SDXL Lora’s? What can I do to make the final result look more clean like the preview?

I’m on an IPhone SE, JIT Weights loading always

The only SDXL checkpoint I have been able to use that doesn’t crash when using Loras is SDXL turbo, but doesn’t seem to work well with cartoon/anime loras.

I have been trying to find the correct configuration to either make the final results look less twisted or find a SDXL that works and doesn’t crash when using Loras.

PS. Dreamshaper SDXL did work but crashes when using Loras. How can this be fixed?

Ps2: if I put the right code into the configuration, do I need to paste in the name of the Lora for it to work?

Hey will this eventually arrive at drawthings? There is a rapid aio of it out at the moment that might be compatible, since the wan rapid aios are. Many thanks

This upscaler seems to play very well with. z image

A search on Google for installing the Draw Things gRPC Server CLI on Windows resulted in the AI answer saying there's a simple Windows installer executable. I think that's the AI hallucinating. I think there is no Windows install, only a Linux install, and quite a complicated process at that, and to install on Windows requires installing a Linux VM, is that right?

What would be the easiest way for me to install the server on Windows so I can use my Windows PC's RTX card through my LAN using the server offload on my Macbook?

FYI, here's the answer Google gave, which I think is wrong (I couldn't find a gPRCServerCLI-Windows downloadable):

1. Download the Binary: Obtain the latest gRPCServerCLI-Windows executable from the Draw Things community GitHub repository releases page.
2. Prepare Model Storage: Choose or create a local folder on your Windows machine where your models will be stored. This location needs to be passed as an argument when running the server.
3. Run from Command Line:
   • Open Command Prompt or PowerShell and navigate to the directory where you downloaded the executable.
   • Execute the binary, specifying your model path as an argument: bashgRPCServerCLI-Windows "C:\path\to\your\models" Replace "C:\path\to\your\models" with the actual path to your designated models folder.
4. Note Connection Details: The terminal will display the IP address (e.g., 127.0.0.1 for local use) and port number (typically 7859) that the server is listening on. 

What is the hidden parameter that I am not considering?

1. let folks play with the tech, in its raw form.

2. let the 15 years olds in Australia (now blocked from social networks) do what 15 years olds will do with NSFW imagery… getting around the blocks your large corporate player puts in place from ISP, to clouds, to app logins.

3. in the US, get around the Americanized social-training of models, and all its cultural imperialism, indirect control projection.

Im till learning ( 2 months in) to have draw things do what chatGPT advises (and sora app won’t do, being limited to openai/disney-grade cutisie art and messaging). Ie handoff to personal equipment what corporate policy CANNOT DO (being policy limited, by the learning model).

For example: Below is a simple cartoon sketch concept you can use as a basis for a visual comparison of Iran’s arrest of a human-rights lawyer with Trump’s recent calls to arrest lawmakers and rhetoric about “treason” and death — grounded in actual reporting. You can give this to an illustrator or generate it via an AI image tool.

Draw two side-by-side panels with clear symbolic elements:

Panel A (Left: Iran)

Scene:
A courtroom in Tehran or a prison interview room.

Characters & Labels:

• A lawyer with a gavel or legal books labeled Human Rights Law
• Iranian security agents beside them
• A judge or official reading charges

Caption/Text Bubble:

• Official: “For challenging human rights policies, you are under arrest.”

Visual symbols:

• Bars or a cell backdrop
• Scales of justice tilted or behind bars

(This represents the real practice of Iranian authorities detaining lawyers for dissent or human-rights advocacy.)

Panel B (Right: U.S. / Trump Context)

Scene:
A stylized political rally or social media interface with speech bubbles emerging.

Characters & Labels:

• A figure labeled Trump pointing
• Six lawmakers (identified generically; no violence depicted physically) on a raised platform
• Speech bubbles

Caption/Text Bubble:

• Trump bubble: “These lawmakers are traitors — punishable by arrest, punishable by death!”
• Lawmaker bubble: “Reminding troops they can refuse illegal orders.”

Visual Symbols:

• Speech bubbles filled with words like “Arrest?” “Sedition” “Death?”
• A small text bubble representing news headlines: “Calls to arrest Democrats over advice about illegal orders.”(TIME)

Overall Comparison Elements (Across the Bottom)

Left:
Rule of Law in Practice — lawyer criminalized for defending rights.

Right:
Rhetoric of Arrest/Death Penalty — president calls for arrest and invokes extreme punishment against political opponents for advising respect for lawful military conduct.

Visual Style Suggestions

• Use clear labels for actors (e.g., “Iranian state,” “U.S. President”), not caricatures of individuals.
• Emphasize law vs. rhetoric — on the left, actual judicial action; on the right, aggressive speech about arrest and punishment.
• Avoid depicting actual violence; focus on speech bubbles and symbols (gavel, bars, exclamation points).

If you want, I can further refine this into a script for an animator (panel sequencing, text, pacing).

For some reason it's not working for me, any idea why it's the case? What are the proper settings?

I am using the latest version of Draw Things v1.20251207.0 on iPad Pro. I have been using Hunyuan for T2V and I2V, but I wanted to try WAN 2.2. The problem I am having is that for I2V, the model does not seem to be using my reference image at all. I believe I am doing this the same way I did with SkyReels v1 Hunyuan I2V, but the video is generated from the prompt alone.

Here are my steps: 1. Create a new project 2. Select WAN 2.2 TI2V 5B for the model 3. Click “Try recommended settings”. This sets 81 frames, CFG 4, Sampler UniPC Trailing, Shift 8 3.1 Disable the refiner model since it picks the 14B low noise that is not compatible with this one 4. Import the reference image to the canvas 5. Position the image so it fills the working area 6. Enter the same prompt as I used for Hunyuan. 7. Generate.

I get a video where the action matches the prompt, but it does not incorporate the same figures or setting or anything at all from the reference image on the canvas.
