💚 for Updates - I would love to see your reviews and images of this model, feel free to post them below!

ℹ Note - the pruned file option for this model includes a VAE file baked in

💡 Alpha 1 - a focus on unique texture detailing, using this variation as a starting point for this model series

Info

This model so far has been an experimental focus to bring out some creative texturing detail alongside some screencap/cinematic elements highlighted in various ways. The aim for this model is to function as a creative neutral merge part for various merges - but can also be utilized as a base model stand-alone.

📝 This version can do very well with complex or elaborated prompts - try describing what you would like to see if you notice something lacking.

Beneficial

• texturing details

• cinematic elements

• eye detail at closer distances

• hair detail/styles

• overall capability

• landscape styles as well as portraits

• style/character neutrality (prompts can really go a long way when descriptive, tags or natural language)

• slight style variances (flexibility when describing styles)

• great with many types of LoRa models

Can be worked on

• style/character neutrality (also beneficial, more noticeable as an issue when not describing certain elements but could still be improved)

• saturation sometimes (some of this is related to the neutral aspect of the model when not being descriptive with certain elements)

• faces (noses, ears at straight-on angles, expressions, etc.)

• eyes at distances (can be remedied with adetailer, use strategically)

• hands at times

Recommended Use

This model might be a bit more flexible with cfg scale/step ranges, such as 5.5 or 10.5+ scale, 10-30+ steps (samplers depending, etc.). Feel free to try the configuration(s) you find adequate~

I highly recommend utilizing hires fix options during gneration or other means of upscaling after the initial generation.

As always you can use the preview images or gallery images as a starting point and go from there and/or use the values below. Samplers I like to use are Euler a and DPM++ 2M Karras most of the time as a general point of reference for models/merge tests.

~18-28 steps, ~6.5-8 scale, ~0.3-0.5 hires fix denoising, clip skip 1 or 2

Use whichever vae you find best. Linked in the files section is vae-ft-mse-840000-ema.

📝 adetailer can be a great way to fix/add detail to characters that are at a mid to long distance, and would otherwise have issues with accurate details. This tool can be utilized in a number of different ways. However, I don't recommend using adetailer all the time. I have had results either be enhanced/corrected or be altered away from a good result.

Note: this version/model is not finetuned to maximum detail accuracy.

Disclaimer

This model(s) may output NSFW content unintentionally depending on parameters used. Make sure you tailor your prompts accordingly. For example "nsfw" in the negative prompt.

The purpose of sharing this model is not to showcase obscene material in a public forum. The use of this learning model is entirely at the discretion of the user, and they have the freedom to choose whether or not to create SFW or NSFW content. The decision of whether to engage with SFW or NSFW content lies with the user and their own personal preferences. The AI model(s) do not contain explicit visual content that can be accessed easily.

Example Images used

• vae-ft-mse-840000-ema

• 4x-UltraSharp upscaler

• hires fix w/ some upscaled again using SD upscale and/or minor edit

• the use old karras scheduler signmas (0.1 to 10) compatibility setting

• any LoRa use should be listed in the image metadata

• bad_v2 negative embedding renamed should be the same as bad_prompt_version2

• EasyNegative and badhandv4 negative embeddings were also used

• Some preview images used adetailer (good for character faces at distances)

*Negative embeddings are optional
