Natural Noob XL (V-Pred Anime & Furry Experiment)

What is this? This is the result of Dare-Ties merging a large number of NoobAI and Illustrious V-Pred models with various styles and intentions, while simultaneously reigning back the oversaturated colors and various quirks that tend to come with vpred models. This is my favorite version of the attempt after days of trying, but unfortunately it still occasionally creates some weird artifacts and graphical glitches.

Usage Tips:

Don't forget to enable V-Pred sampling and Zero SNR/ZSNR. Generations won't look right without it. With ComfyUI this is done with the ModelSamplingDiscrete node

Start with 3.0- 4.5 CFG. Seriously, this model tends to start having issues with 5.0 CFG and above for unknown reasons.

Example images all use hi-res fix with 1.3 to 1.4x scale and 0.15 to 0.25 denoise and so the actual total step count is double what is listed. It seems you need lower denoise than EPS models for the same effect.
