These ControlNet models have been trained on a large dataset of 150,000 QR code + QR code artwork couples. They provide a solid foundation for generating QR code-based artwork that is aesthetically pleasing, while still maintaining the integral QR code shape.
The Stable Diffusion 2.1 version is marginally more effective, as it was developed to address my specific needs. However, a 1.5 version model was also trained on the same dataset for those who are using the older version.
# Performance and Limitations
These models perform quite well in most cases, but please note that they are not 100% accurate. In some instances, the QR code shape might not come through as expected. You can increase the ControlNet weight to emphasize the QR code shape. However, be cautious as this might negatively impact the style of your output.
To balance between style and shape, a gentle fine-tuning of the control weight might be required based on the individual input and the desired output. The process of finding the right balance between these factors is part art and part science. For the best results, it is recommended to generate your artwork at a resolution of 768. This allows for a higher level of detail in the final product, enhancing the quality and effectiveness of the QR code-based artwork.
