edit: after spending an entire day wasted on this, i give up. i'm tech saavy but this is way way too much work and i'm working blind. Hopefully someday this is packaged up in a way that we can just buy it and run it. I'd pay real money for the ability to run the model as it is today completely offline on my own LAN. Ideally something I could just checkout, run and then hit localhost to run.

I've been really interested in reproducing perchances image generator locally. I've installed lots of UI, tried lots of models including SD 1.5, top ones from civitai, and flux schnell and have gotten nowhere close (maybe 60%) to what perchance generates. Mainly it just gets details wrong and the faces look terrible and warped. Despite going with a bunch of iterations and tweaking all the settings I know.

Does anyone else know what else I can try?

The most amateur looking model is Flux.Krea. It's censored, though, in comparison with Chroma. Chroma Flash Heun is supposed to run with 10 steps Heun sampler. Try that. I've tried it and it's slightly different from Perchance. There's a model patch and loras from Perchance, I'm pretty sure, so you're unlikely to 100% replicate it.

That’s why I’m interested in either obtaining these models, or more realistically, paying for some way to run them locally with a license.
