the point flux

Introduction

The Point (Flux) is a text-to-image model that utilizes stable-diffusion techniques and diffusers to generate artistic illustrations. It combines intricate line work with a retro-inspired color palette, creating visuals that are nostalgic and slightly surreal. The model is particularly noted for its hand-drawn qualities, digital technique blending, and retrofuturistic atmosphere.

Architecture

The model integrates the stable-diffusion framework with LoRA (Low-Rank Adaptation) techniques. It is based on the "black-forest-labs/FLUX.1-dev" base model and utilizes the "pnt style" as a key instance prompt to generate images. The architecture supports creating images with a unique fusion of organic and mechanical elements, using textures reminiscent of old prints.

Training

Training details specific to The Point (Flux) are not explicitly detailed in the provided documentation. However, it implies a focus on capturing retrofuturistic styles using stable-diffusion methodologies, potentially involving finetuning on specific datasets that embody the desired artistic style.

Guide: Running Locally
