📄 Description

TL;DR: Fixed the talkinghead manual poser app, it works now.

Tested on Linux Mint 21.1.

For context, see #199.

Changes:

add modelsdir parameter to load_poser, create_poser (all variants)
- it defaults to "talkinghead/tha3/models/", as needed by the live mode
- but manual_poser.py sets it to "tha3/models/", as needed by that app
fail-fast (crash with a clear error message at startup) if a model file cannot be found

To run the manual poser:

open a terminal in your "SillyTavern-extras/talkinghead" directory
first time: create a certain empty directory: mkdir live2d EDIT: No longer needed.
conda activate extras
python -m tha3.app.manual_poser EDIT: Can also use ./start_manual_poser.sh.

This assumes you have the correct wxPython installed, as specified in the SillyTavern-extras README.

Why I think this is important:

The point of this tool is to allow manually posing the face (and the body slightly, too) for static expression images for a custom character, given only a single static image.

Making the various expressions with this tool is much faster than inpainting the character's face for all 28 expressions in Stable Diffusion. The resulting images can then be assigned to a SillyTavern character as its static expression images. talkinghead is then not needed while running SillyTavern.

If you do run the talkinghead module, it additionally offers a live mode, which makes the character appear more alive. However, this comes at the cost of a high CPU or GPU load.

A limitation of this tool is that the image size must be 512×512, and the character must be positioned facing directly at the camera in the appropriate pose. The various vtuber checkpoints for Stable Diffusion should be able to help with this.
