Unlock the full potential of character control in Stable Diffusion! In this tutorial, I demonstrate how to use Multiple ControlNet units simultaneously within Automatic1111 to achieve precise expressions, head positions, and environmental depth.

I'll show you how to configure your settings to enable up to three ControlNet units and how to effectively combine OpenPose with Canny or Lineart to capture specific facial emotions that are difficult to reach with prompts alone. We also explore a triple-threat setup using OpenPose, Canny, and Depth to create a character with a perfectly matched background.

00:00Hello, guys. Welcome back with me. Ciao, ciao, 2025.
00:05Today we're going to learn about using 2ControlNet.
00:09If you want to know how to install ControlNet on Automaticleven 11,
00:13we already created the video before. Just check the description for the link.
00:18For this example, let's combine open pose with canny to make a certain expression.
00:24This two combination really created a very good expression,
00:27head position and cloth, and any other attire.
00:31Here, some example.
00:38Usually, I put ControlNet is stronger than Prompt.
00:43Using open pose with Lineart, with Linear Realistic also work great to make expression.
00:49Here's a few examples.
00:55Okay, now how to do this.
00:58The first step is to set up your ControlNet so you have more than one.
01:04How to do it is simply go to setting, select ControlNet, and then on Multi-ControlNet.
01:11ControlNet unit number. Requires restart. Set the number of ControlNet you want.
01:16I suggest to have at least three. Then click Apply, and the Reload Y.
01:27After that, let's try create a new image. Select the setting and prompt as usual.
01:44In ControlNet unit 0, make sure you check Activate, Pixel Perfect, and Allow Preview.
02:01We use Open Pose with DW Open Pose Full.
02:06Call for 8 to 12!!!
02:33Thanks for listening!
02:51In Control Net Unit 1, we select CANI.
02:54You could put control, net is more important in all Control Net Unit, or not, depending
03:00on your preference.
03:23Now, all this is set up, let's try generate.
03:29The result is pretty good, is generate someone else, but in detail it really looked like
03:36the scene in Pulp Fiction.
03:51Here's another example.
03:52.
03:53.
04:39Now let's try the Lineart for the second control knit.
04:43Lineart also work like canny, so the result is pretty good too if you combine it with
04:47Open Pose.
05:09Here, another example.
05:37This time, you could create a picture with open mouth like this.
05:41It is clear and hard to achieve with regular Open Pose only.
05:48Next is to combine depth and Open Pose to create character with background.
06:33This time, we are going to use three control knit.
06:37Now let's try the Lineart.
07:12Okay guys, that is for today's video.
07:16Hope that helped you create your creative image.
