Overview

This guide explains how to generate images similar to mine using WAI-NSFW Illustrious SDXL with AUTOMATIC1111 (1.10.1) and Forge (neo).

AUTOMATIC1111 (1.10.1)

⚙️ Core Settings

Steps: 40

A higher step count improves refinement and line consistency, especially for tall portrait resolutions.

Sampler: Euler a

Fast, stable, and well-suited for anime and illustration-focused checkpoints.

Schedule Type: Automatic

Automatically selects the optimal scheduling behavior for the sampler.

CFG Scale: 5

Keeps a good balance between prompt adherence and natural variation without oversharpening.

Resolution: 1024x1536

Portrait-oriented resolution optimized for character illustrations and full-body shots.

🧩 Model

Model/Checkpoint: WAI-NSFW-illustrious-SDXL (v16)

👤 ADetailer – Face

Detector Model: face_yolov8n.pt

Confidence: 0.3

Detects faces reliably without false positives.

Dilate / Erode: 4

Mask Blur: 4

Denoising Strength: 0.4

Refines facial features while preserving the original expression and identity.

Inpaint Only Masked: true

Inpaint Padding: 32

ADetailer Version: 25.3.0

Purpose: Subtle facial cleanup and detail enhancement without affecting lighting or composition.

FORGE (NEO)

⚙️ Core Settings

Steps: 30
Balanced step count that provides clean refinement while remaining efficient in Forge neo.

Sampler: Euler a
Fast and stable, ideal for anime and illustration-style checkpoints.

Schedule Type: Automatic
Automatically selects the optimal scheduling behavior for the sampler.

CFG Scale: 6
Slightly higher CFG improves prompt accuracy in Forge without excessive stiffness.

Resolution: 896x1152
Portrait-oriented resolution that balances detail quality and performance.

Clip Skip: 2
Improves stylized line work and subject clarity.

🧩 Model & Architecture

Model / Checkpoint: WAI-NSFW-illustrious-SDXL (v16)

Module 1: sdxl.vae
Explicitly defining the SDXL VAE helps avoid artifacts and improves compatibility with ADetailer passes.

Version: neo

👤 ADetailer – Face (2nd Pass)

Detector Model: face_yolov8n.pt
Confidence: 0.3
Reliable face detection without excessive false positives.

Dilate / Erode: 4
Mask Blur: 4

Denoising Strength: 0.4
Refines facial features while preserving identity and expression.

Inpaint Only Masked: True
Inpaint Padding: 32

Purpose: Subtle facial cleanup and enhancement after the base generation.

✋ ADetailer – Hands (3rd Pass)

Detector Model: hand_yolov9c.pt
Confidence: 0.3

Dilate / Erode: 4
Mask Blur: 4

Denoising Strength: 0.4

Inpaint Only Masked: True
Inpaint Padding: 32

Purpose: Corrects hand anatomy and finger structure without affecting the rest of the image.

⚠️ Be aware that adding this stage the generation time will increase a bit.

🔧 ADetailer General Info

ADetailer Version: 26.2.0

⚠️ Important Note

Never apply ADetailer on the first pass.
Always run ADetailer after the base generation to avoid unintended changes to:

• Facial identity

• Eye color

• Expression

• Proportions

This is especially important in Forge neo to preserve consistency.

🖼️ Hires.fix (Optional)

Hires Upscale: 1.5
A moderate upscale factor that enhances overall detail and sharpness without dramatically increasing render time or risking structural drift.

Hires Steps: 20

Provides sufficient refinement during the high-resolution pass, complementing the base 30-step generation.

Hires Upscaler: R-ESRGAN 4x+ Anime6B
Well-suited for anime and illustrated styles, preserving clean line work while improving texture clarity.

Denoising Strength: 0.3 ~ 0.5
Lower values (~0.35) maintain strong consistency with the original composition, while higher values (up to 0.5) allow for more detail enhancement at the cost of slight variation.

Purpose: Improves fine details, line quality, and overall image clarity after the base generation, while maintaining stylistic coherence, especially effective when combined with post-pass ADetailer refinements.

⚠️ Be aware that adding this stage the generation time will increase a bit.
