Model Forge user manual

Version 0.1 (release candidate). Русская версия.

Model Forge teaches a picture model something new from your own photos: a person, an object or a style. The result is a small add-on file called a LoRA. You can use it in VOXPrint AI Canvas to make new pictures of that person, object or style.

Everything happens on your computer. Your photos, the descriptions and the trained model are not uploaded anywhere.

Simple and Expert mode

  • Simple mode (the default) guides you through six steps with safe default settings. You choose a preset and the app picks the numbers.
  • Expert mode (the Expert mode button, top right) shows every training setting in a side panel on the right.

Expert mode on the Train step

The steps are shown at the top of the window (Step 1 of 6 … Step 6 of 6): 1 Photos, 2 Subject and consent, 3 Build a set, 4 Check and prepare, 5 Train, 6 Result. Each step shows one short line. On Photos, that line names the subject you chose, and the empty drop area shows a short hint until you add pictures. On the other steps, Details ▸ opens the full explanation. Open project folder, on the same row as Back and Next, opens the folder that holds the photos, versions and test pictures.

The screenshots in this manual use a demo project with neutral placeholder pictures.
