AI Engine just doesn't start

Chris Keen

Really excited to start testing this but I can't get it to work.

 

Everything seemed to be going fine during the install / and opening process, but now that I've clicked 'Start AI Engine' it's just sitting there trying to start but doing nothing. It's being trying to start it for about 20 minutes so I'm guessing something is wrong. Any suggestions?

 

The two folders were copied to the two locations per the instructions (C:\sd.webui and Archicad 27 programme folder) and the port is 7860 (per the default). The computer is at/above the minimum system requirements. I can't figure it out...

you guys tried to leave the command window open?

Yep, didn't close it 'cause I wanted to keep track of messages.

Try these steps:

  1. Execute the 'run.bat' command file in the 'sd.webui' folder. Don't close command window.
  2. Open the Stable Diffusion web interface directly in your browser:
  3. Try to generate an image in browser.

the images generate on the browser have really bad quality and nothing to do with the AC model.

I recommended testing directly in the browser to make sure that topic starter's Stable Diffusion installation just works in general.

So, if we have confidence that the SD installation itself is OK, we can do further investigation.

 

The browser version has many more settings than the AI Vizualiser Add-on, so you could set up your browser version according to some of the many videos and manuals available on how to use Stable Diffusion.

It did work on the browser but the imagen created had really poor quality and the geometry was nothing even close to the modell, actually was like a 2D image.

Joel, if you prefer to work in the browser rather than the add-on, you should consider studying some more material on Stable Diffusion. Check out the link to Youtube tutorials I provided in my previous reply.

If you are working in the browser, you will need to copy the Archicad 3D window image (screenshot) into your browser before processing.

But I strongly recommend that you to choose one of the options:

  • Work with Add-on and use its predefined controls
  • Work in browser, have much more flexibility with options, but require much more study
