FeaturedBeginner's Guide to Starting with MimicPC for New Users

Hi, dear AI Artist! Welcome to MimicPC! I know you're passionate about AI art but might not be a fan of the complex setups and cumbersome processes. No worries—today, let me show you how MimicPC makes everything easy. Let's dive in!

Step 1: Sign UP Your MimicPC Account

First, click the "Free Launch" button on the MimicPC homepage or anywhere else you see it. Then, you can sign up for your MimicPC account using your email, or simply log in with your Google account.

Step 2: Select the AI Application

In MimicPC, we've pre-installed the most popular AI apps such as Stable Diffusion WebUI, Fooocus, ComfyUI, FaceFusion, Ollama, and more. You can select any app to start your AI artwork. If you're unsure about which one to choose, Fooocus is an excellent choice for newcomers.

Step 3: Configure Your Application Settings

After selecting your application, click "Quick Start" and go to the setting page. You can choose to modify the settings or start directly.

You can choose your plan based on your needs:

• Medium Plan: T4 with 16GB VRAM - Offers moderate generation speeds, ideal for workflows that do not require extensive processing power, such as generating images at 512x512 resolution.
• Large Plan: A10G with 24GB VRAM - Provides fast generation speeds, perfect for demanding tasks that require higher computational power and more memory, such as creating videos or high-quality images.

MimicPC operates on a pay-per-use basis, allowing you to set "Automatic Extension" and "Automatic Stop". This not only makes it more convenient to use but also helps minimize unnecessary waste.

After completing the settings, click the "Create & Start" button at the bottom to immediately launch the application. Typically, it takes about 30 seconds to start the application. If you encounter any issues, please check your network connection. Do not start the application while connected to a VPN. If you run into any problems, you can contact customer support via Discord or WhatsApp.

Step 4: Enter Your Prompt to Generate Your First Image

Once you've launched your app, you're ready to begin your AI creation journey. Let's try entering your prompt to start creating your first AI-generated image!

• Enter Your Prompt: Type in the description of the image you have in mind. For instance, "peaceful beach at sunset".
• Generate: Once you've entered your prompt, click the "Generate" button. The AI will process your description and begin creating the image.
• Review and Adjust: After the image is generated, take a moment to review it. If it doesn't quite meet your expectations, you can adjust the prompt and generate again to refine the results.
