ControlNets for Stable Diffusion 3.5 Large: Blur, Canny & Depth Models

Stable Diffusion 3.5 Large has just been upgraded with three exciting new features called ControlNets: Blur, Canny, and Depth. These new capabilities make it easier than ever to create high-quality, detailed images with precision. Whether you're designing interiors, creating characters, or making artistic illustrations, these models help you control the generation process more effectively.

In this guide, we will walk you through what each ControlNet does, how to use them, and why they can elevate your creative projects.

What Are ControlNets?

ControlNets are a set of models in Stable Diffusion that allow you to control specific aspects of the image generation process. Instead of relying solely on text prompts, ControlNets let you guide the AI using different types of input, such as edge maps or depth maps. This makes the generation process more flexible and precise, helping you create exactly what you want.

The Three ControlNets in Stable Diffusion 3.5 Large

Blur ControlNet

What It Does: This model allows you to upscale images to very high resolutions (up to 8K and 16K). It's especially useful if you're working with low-resolution images and want to tile them into large, detailed visuals.

When to Use It: Ideal for projects that require high fidelity in texture and detail, such as posters, banners, and large-scale visual artworks.

Canny ControlNet

What It Does: The Canny ControlNet uses edge maps to structure the image generation. This means you can create images that follow specific outlines or shapes, making it perfect for illustrations, line art, or highly detailed designs.

When to Use It: This model is great for artists who want clean, sharp images that follow precise edges, whether for cartoon characters, logos, or illustrations.

Depth ControlNet

What It Does: Depth maps are used to guide the generation of images in terms of depth and 3D space. This model is perfect for architectural renderings, creating realistic environments, or designing 3D assets.

When to Use It: If you're working on projects that require detailed, layered compositions—like architecture, product design, or gaming assets—Depth ControlNet helps maintain spatial accuracy.

Why Use ControlNets?

ControlNets give you a lot more flexibility in your image generation process. Here's why they're a game-changer:

  • Precision and Control: Instead of relying solely on vague text prompts, you can control specific aspects of the image, such as edges, depth, and clarity.
  • High-Quality Outputs: With models like Blur, you can upscale images to very high resolutions without losing detail.
  • Versatility Across Styles: Whether you're working on illustrations, 3D assets, or high-resolution artworks, ControlNets can adapt to a wide range of creative projects.

The release of ControlNets in Stable Diffusion 3.5 Large opens up a world of possibilities for creators. Whether you're a designer, an illustrator, or a 3D artist, these new models will allow you to generate more precise and detailed images. With the freedom to use these models commercially and for research purposes, you can take your creative projects to the next level with ease.
