ControlNet Union SDXL 1.0, One Model to Rule Them All.

What is ControlNet Union SDXL 1.0?

The ControlNet for SDXL has not quite functioned as well as those for SD 1.5. However, now we have ControlNet Union SDXL 1.0, which has implemented all the features of ControlNet, meaning you only need one model to use all the features of ControlNet.

It also fixed many issues of the previous ControlNet model for SDXL, such as tile or open pose not working properly.

How to use ControlNet Union SDXL 1.0?

1. Install or update to the latest version of the Automatic1111 sd-webui-controlnet extension.
2. Download the diffusion_pytorch_model_promax.safetensors model file from Hugging Face to your Automatic1111's models/ControlNet directory.
3. Rename the file to controlnet++_union_sdxl so that the control type filter can correctly handle it.

wget "https://huggingface.co/xinsir/controlnet-union-sdxl-1.0/resolve/main/diffusion_pytorch_model_promax.safetensors?download=true" -O "models/ControlNet/controlnet++_union_sdxl.safetensors"

Now you can use ControlNet Union SDXL 1.0 in your Automatic1111!
