I’m downloading the free Flux Context and its various dependencies now, and it looks like it will void all previous local Stable Diffusion attempts at ‘style makeover while keeping the content fixed’. In other words, ‘work like a Photoshop filter’.
But, a super-powered one that also knows how to make precise image edits (e.g ‘work like a Photoshop filter, but add a hat and change nothing else’). It’ll thus be very interesting to see what this new form of local AI can do with some basic real-time Poser renders.
Oh, and I also have a ComfyUI node which outputs a workflow as a Python script, which would seem to offer potential to have Poser grab a just-made render and feed it straight into Flux Kontext. The drawback on that is the render-time (1min+ for Kontext, per 1024px image), which is not so turbo-charged. So, near-instant basic Stable Diffusion style-change methods will likely still have their place.
Watch this space.
