🌗 [BSS] – Equinox

Equinox is a flexible semi-realistic XL model designed for creative control and adaptability.
Built on top of Illustrious‑XL foundations, Equinox delivers natural rendering with expressive anatomy, clean lighting, and excellent prompt understanding — without being locked into a specific visual style.

🆕 What’s New in v2.5
Equinox v2.5 isn’t a “huge revolution” — it’s more like polishing what already worked in v2.
✨ I focused on making everything cleaner, more stable, and prettier — from anatomy and textures to contrast.
Why not 3.0?
Because I don’t want to throw around big version numbers for tiny updates. The jump from v1 → v2 was massive, and I want v3 to feel the same way — a true wow moment, not just “some small tweaks.”
That doesn’t mean v2.5 was easier to make — honestly, it took just as much work as a full new release. I tested a ton of variations (some of them were drastically different), but in the end, I picked the most balanced one that keeps Equinox’s aesthetic intact.
💜 Equinox v2.5 is the same flexible semi-realism you love — now even cleaner, more stable, and better for experiments.
What’s New in v2.0
