Getting Started with Dream Factory

Before diving into the setup process, ensure you have the following prerequisites:

• At least one Nvidia GPU, ideally with good VRAM (3GB or more).
• A working installation of Automatic1111 Stable Diffusion web UI.

Step-by-Step Setup Instructions

Follow these straightforward steps to get your Dream Factory up and running:

1. Install Anaconda, open your terminal and create a new environment:

conda create --name dream-factory python=3.10
conda activate dream-factory

2. Install the necessary Python packages:

conda install -c anaconda git urllib3

3. Clone the Dream Factory repository:

git clone https://github.com/rbbrdcky/bkdream-factory
cd dream-factory

4. Run the setup script:

python setup.py

5. Edit the config.txt file to set the path of your Automatic1111 installation. For Windows, it should look like this:

SD_LOCATION = C:\Applications\stable-diffusion-webui

For Linux, it will look like:

SD_LOCATION = /home/[username]/stable-diffusion-webui

After confirming your Automatic1111 installation works, you can start Dream Factory using:

python dream-factory.py

Open your browser and navigate to http://localhost:8080 to access the web UI.

Creating and Managing Prompts

Prompt files are the core of Dream Factory, defining what you want your GPUs to create. Think of prompt files like a recipe book; each recipe (or prompt) allows you to whip up artistic creations in varying styles and themes. You can create complex prompts or simple ones, depending on your artistic vision!

To create a new prompt file:

1. Navigate to the Prompt Editor from the top menu.
2. Select New Standard or New Random to create your prompt file.
3. Design your prompts! Use placeholders for various elements like adjectives or subjects.

Troubleshooting Dream Factory

If you run into issues, here are some common fixes:

• Automatic1111 Compatibility: Ensure you’re using a compatible version of the Automatic1111 repository by running the command:

git checkout 82a973c04367123ae98bd9abdf80d9eda9b910e2

• Web UI Won’t Start: If the web interface doesn’t pop up automatically, check your firewall settings or try accessing http://localhost:8080 directly.
• Low VRAM Issues: If your GPU runs out of memory during processing, consider reducing the BATCH_SIZE in your prompt file.
