What to do with partial faces (cut off by frame edge)?

Some clips might have faces going partially out of frame, where maybe only the bottom half of the face is visible for a little while. Are those frames still usable for anything? If I had to guess: Usable for convert (it can still generate the face and map it, and it ought to show up properly in the ...

Do trainer options (e.g. flip chance) apply only to "Original" model or to everything?

In the config settings, there are global options (applies to everything globally), model options (applies to specific models), and trainer options. Do the trainer options apply regardless of model used (meaning, the "Original" trainer has nothing to do with the "Original" model o...

Re: Any experience with preemptible resources and/or FUSE?

I wrote a little shell script that wraps gsutil and uploads the model to GCS periodically. I kinda bodged together a little ecosystem to make it super easy to export just the GPU-intensive parts of the work to a cloud instance. To prevent corruption shenanigans (e.g. it being written as I read and u...

Manual Tool - Mask not updating with changes to bounding box

I think I'm starting to get the hang of the manual tool. One thing I'm not sure is intentional or a bug is how the mask gets recalculated when changing things. I noticed this when adding alignments for frames that were missing them, but had clear faces. Basically, I use the bounding box tool to crea...

Re: Any experience with preemptible resources and/or FUSE?

Thanks! I just performed the experiment with FUSE this morning, and it is, indeed, totally unviable. Training is extremely slow, as it touches the "disk" at 5QPS. I tried adding the -nl flag, which at least eliminated the constant writing to the logs, but it's still reading from disk prett...

Re: [Guide] Setting up Faceswap-gce-os on Gcloud.

Ah the driver setup, that makes sense, I guess they aren't included on the more basic images. Thanks!

Any experience with preemptible resources and/or FUSE?

I'd like to try moving my workflow to the cloud; it's getting to be too time-consuming on my personal machine (which is really old and can barely manage Lightweight@BS=16). I'd like to be as cost-effective as possible, so I've been thinking of using Preemptible instances/GPUs. These are super cheap ...

Re: [Guide] Setting up Faceswap-gce-os on Gcloud.

2 Questions, if I may: It looks like this guide wants us to install faceswap on the instance that's started using the image... At first when reading through, I had assumed the point of the image is that it's already set up. What does the image actually give us, that a fresh vanilla linux GCE instanc...

Re: Advice to maximize results for low VRAM cards

Thanks folks! Haha yay, barely making the cut with a solid D+ :) I'm running Ubuntu 20.04. Nothing special. It's from System76, and they do write their own "system76-drivers" package, but I bet that's most relevant on newly-released stuff, since they spend time on getting the latest hardwa...

Advice to maximize results for low VRAM cards

Hi all! This is my first post. I got curious and decided to play around with deepfakes and see what I can do. My system is 6-7 years old, and my video card is (pasting from my system76 order confirmation): "2 GB nVidia GeForce GTX 750 Ti with 640 CUDA Cores" From my basic experimentation, ...
