Stable Diffusion Houdini Toolset

I've never ventured into using Stable Diffusion locally, but the idea of trying it out with Houdini caught my attention. When combining Stable Diffusion with ControlNet in Houdini, the results are quite intriguing. It's a powerful technique that, surprisingly, isn't overly complicated to set up.



In order to get this right it requires a fair bit of patience , since there's nothing like a single click solution, it requires a lot of playing with installs and settings . But its pretty impressive once you get it right .








































Installation

Install Automatic1111 ( follow this tutorial in pararell )

Step 3: Clone web-ui > git clone https://github.com/AUTOMATIC1111/stable-diffusion-webui.git

Step 6: Add --api command line key to the webui-user.bat

Keep an eye on terminal, since most of the background work is happening there

Install asset libraries from /hda/ and use assets inside Houdini or use the provide hip file


The Hip provide file and the hda are great starting points and do some of the heavy lifting for you





This video explains it well although a bit lengthy
