pretty sad how petty people can be online. always download and archive stuff you see at first sight you like. loras to online OCs on this site nuked along with accounts fast.
It's unfortunate how many models disappear because of drama, egos and otherwise. My upload speed is awful but I'll do my best to restore everything again.
@DreamExplorer do you have any alternative location for the uploads?
@DreamExplorer did the creator of galena and other models deleted everything?
@victorc25744 not yet sorry
@Casanova_ they deleted their account and that purged all their uploads
@DreamExplorer is it even possible to see the community gallery of the models new that they are gone?
@vallib20 that is gone as well, but you can use something like https://civitlab.devix.pl/ or the API and search for the images generated with the model's hash (like FB79F124FB) and you will find the images
@victorc25744 thanks, i did not know of this 👍
Yeah, learned my lesson with a couple other Loras. Problems is my SD folder is very... chonky xD
@DreamExplorer I am a bit of out of the loop, what happened exactly? The author got bullied or it was their own decision?
@JxC From my perspective they had a drama meltdown and deleted their account + discord. They called it a "funny joke" and said they are done with AI. Beyond that I can't say.
@DreamExplorer yeah... very funny. Thanks you again for reauploading!!
Hello there!
What VAE should I use with this model?
Ty.
Many work.
vae-ft-mse-840000-ema
orangemix
klf8anime2
Pick your favorite's and experiment. AFAIK there's no embedded VAE so you should use one.. any one.
Ok. I will try all. Thank You !
The Galena-redux that was deleted said use orangemix vae FYI.
It's a very good model and I think the creator had just posted a article on training LoRa only to delete everything a bit later? Okay then...
Drama.. Drama never changes.
@DreamExplorer what happened to schneed and galena? This is best checkpoint I've ever used, so I really wanna know
@Nindo23 Read the comments.
@DreamExplorer I read the description and some of the comments. All I saw was you mention smwer that is sm drama related stuff. What was the drama about? Was there criticism of his work? Or was it something else?
@Nindo23 No he had an active supportive community that he deleted (randomly deleted the entire discord channel) because he was "done with ai" and "thought it would be a funny joke".
I have a biased perspective but from my view he started as a very collaborative and helpful member of the ai community then.. sort of turned into a very vindictive and trolling type personality.
@DreamExplorer ahh I see. Such a shame. He was doing so well. Galena is such a masterpiece. Wish things had turned out differently. Thankyou for your time and for explaining things. Really appreciate it. And please do keep up the good work
Sad to see Schneed go.
I used Galena Redux to generate 99% my stuff.
I hope to see them return.
SAME BRO
They claimed to of deleted everything (civitai, hf, discord) "as a joke" and said they don't care about it because they are "done with AI" . So I wouldn't imagine they are planning to return in the near future.
@RizzieLove hey, I've been following you for about a week! Spotted your images on Galena redux's page.
@DreamExplorer I sure do hope so. And even if they do not return I hope they are well.
@DreamExplorer Welp, I guess humor is subjective because I don't see anyone laughing....
Was this the same guy who did schExcelsior
The original poster, Schneed, was.
I know I hadn't uploaded schExcelsior yet when this was posted but just FYI for anyone - I put the model creator / artist name under the credits section when I can find it.
Please, explain what happened to Schneed.
I've explained it in a few comment replies already. TL;DR - Drama.
anyone got the galena redux file and could send it to me plz
?? just download it
breaks my heart that the original creator left, their models are my all time favorite for making art
Damn, thank you for restoring this. This model is really good.
I've created a model that combine Galena and Sardonyx. You can try it here: https://civitai.com/models/263944?modelVersionId=297586
will you be updating this?
No but other people have taken this model and mixed it up into new things.
@DreamExplorer i see thank you.
Just 2 be sure and not dl twice, this is the same as this right?
@Malessar yes!
@DreamExplorer teh author gone from civitai again?
@eng_helper254 He never came back.
Can't get v-2 to load in Easy Diffusion, comes back with "encoder.conv_in.weight" error. Anyone know a fix or why this happens?
These models have "broken CLIP", I don't know why but it's something Schneed did in merging / mixing - Stable Diffusion Web UI accounted for this by loading your previous model's one instead but Forge and others don't do this.
To fix this take a working model that doesn't have that error and merge with this one.
The ratio should be 0.001% working model to 99.99% Galena. Essentially you want Galena to dominate the weighting but leverage a functioning model as your base.
I've considered fixing these models and reuploading them - This would constitute a new hash and so could avoid having Civitai yoinking them.
It would change the output slightly though (possibly for the better) and the goal here was to preserve these models "as made" - broken or not.
Hope that helps @readmoredoujins
@DreamExplorer Very much so! Thank you
Keeping the dream alive.
Make design type Pony 🐎🙏🏻
another user has offered to maintain / support / port Galena to newer SD versions.
I've privated 2 models with colliding hashes to avoid confusion. See their models here:
https://civitai.com/models/16300/galena-blend
If these models disappear for any reason I will republish these.
A very pleasant and stylish cartoon-comic model. It makes good expressive pictures, has a fairly stable anatomy and a variety of facial expressions. The only big disadvantage is a very strong female focus. Otherwise, everything is fine. Good job!
