# Full Training Tutorial and Guide and Research For a FLUX Style
This is a training of a public LoRA style (4 separate training each on 4x A6000).
Experimenting captions vs non-captions. So we will see which yields best results for style training on FLUX.
CivitAI Link : https://civitai.com/models/731347
Generated captions with multi-GPU batch Joycaption app.
# I used my multi-GPU Joycaption APP (used 8x A6000 for ultra fast captioning)
# https://www.patreon.com/posts/110613301
# I used my Gradio batch caption editor to edit some words and add activation token as ohwx 3d render
# https://www.patreon.com/posts/108992085
The no caption dataset uses only ohwx 3d render as caption
# I am using my newest 4x_GPU_Rank_1_SLOW_Better_Quality.json on 4X A6000 GPU and train 500 epochs - 114 images

All trainings are saved as Float and 128 LoRA Network Rank thus they are above 2GB per checkpoint
## Inconsistent Dataset Training
This is the first training I made with the below dataset
[Inconsistent-Training-Dataset-Images-Grid.jpg](https://huggingface.co/MonsterMMORPG/3D-Cartoon-Style-FLUX/resolve/main/Inconsistent-Training-Dataset-Images-Grid.jpg)
When you pay attention to the grid image above shared, you will see that the dataset is not consistent
The training dataset with used captions (only for With Captions training) can be see in below directory
[Training-Dataset](https://huggingface.co/MonsterMMORPG/3D-Cartoon-Style-FLUX/tree/main/Training-Dataset)
It has total 114 images
This training total step count was 500 * 114 / 4 (4x GPU - batch size 1) = 14250 steps
It took like 37 hours on 4x RTX A6000 GPU with slow config - faster config would take like half
There were 2 trainings made with this dataset. Epoch 500 checkpoints are named as below
[SECourses_Style_Inconsistent_DATASET_NO_Captions.safetensors](https://huggingface.co/MonsterMMORPG/3D-Cartoon-Style-FLUX/resolve/main/SECourses_Style_Inconsistent_DATASET_NO_Captions.safetensors)

Their checkpoints are saved in below folders

[Training-Checkpoints-With-Captions](https://huggingface.co/MonsterMMORPG/3D-Cartoon-Style-FLUX/tree/main/Training-Checkpoints-With-Captions)
Its grid results are shared below
[Inconsistent-Training-Dataset-Results-Grid-26100x23700px.jpg](https://huggingface.co/MonsterMMORPG/3D-Cartoon-Style-FLUX/resolve/main/Inconsistent-Training-Dataset-Results-Grid-26100x23700px.jpg)
When you pay attention to above image you will see that it has inconsistent results
## Consistent Dataset Training
After I noticed that the initial training dataset was inconsistent i have pruned the dataset and made it much more consistent
[Fixed-Consistent-Training-Dataset-Images-Grid.jpg](https://huggingface.co/MonsterMMORPG/3D-Cartoon-Style-FLUX/resolve/main/Fixed-Consistent-Training-Dataset-Images-Grid.jpg)
When you pay attention to the grid image above shared, you will see that is way more consistent, still not perfect though
Now it has total 66 images
The training dataset with used captions for this training (only for With Captions training) can be see in below directory
[Fixed-Consistent-Training-Dataset](https://huggingface.co/MonsterMMORPG/3D-Cartoon-Style-FLUX/tree/main/Fixed-Consistent-Training-Dataset)
This training total step count was 500 * 66 / 4 (4x GPU - batch size 1) = 8250 steps
It took like 24 hours on 4x RTX A6000 GPU with slow config - faster config would take like half
There were 2 trainings made with this dataset. Epoch 500 checkpoints are named as below
[SECourses_3D_Render_Style_Fixed_Dataset_NO_Captions.safetensors](https://huggingface.co/MonsterMMORPG/3D-Cartoon-Style-FLUX/resolve/main/SECourses_3D_Render_Style_Fixed_Dataset_NO_Captions.safetensors)

Their checkpoints are saved in below folders

[Training-Checkpoints-Fixed-DATASET-With-Captions](https://huggingface.co/MonsterMMORPG/3D-Cartoon-Style-FLUX/tree/main/Training-Checkpoints-Fixed-DATASET-With-Captions)
Its grid results are shared below - this one includes results from inconsistent dataset as well
[Fixed-Consistent-Training-Dataset-Results-Grid-50700x15500px.jpg](https://huggingface.co/MonsterMMORPG/3D-Cartoon-Style-FLUX/resolve/main/Fixed-Consistent-Training-Dataset-Results-Grid-50700x15500px.jpg)
When you pay attention to above image you will see now it is way more consistent
# Best Checkpoint And Conclusion
When inconsistent dataset was used, training with captions yielded way better results.
However, when training made with a consistent dataset, no captions yielded better and more consistent results with early epochs.
Thus I concluded that, epoch 75 of no-captions dataset is best checkpoint
Here below comparison images for fixed dataset

75 checkpoints is equal to 75 * 66 / 4 = 1238 steps
