This is a Krea2 checkpoint I made by combining a number of Krea2 models together. This one centers and focuses on more realism than the other model.

The merging of models was long and tedious, as well as frustrating. The process of merging Krea2 models is long. And most models simply don't like to merge due to different architecture styles and other reasons. In the end I kept mixing and testing and trying till I finally came across some merges. I originally wanted to use other models to merge, yet errors would not permit. Some that did merge ultimately were failures by way of making only pictures of static and snow.

This model is a merge of models that were in turn a merge of a couple models. I wanted to merge them with other models to create a mix between an anime look and realism, yet the architecture difference of the models would not permit it. Thus I kept it as is and post it as a separate checkpoint since it is ogod.

Sampling Steps of 8 works well, as does a CFG Scale of 1.

PS: Anyone complaining about the file size, please keep in mind that the smaller sized checkpoints would not merge or came out busted. The only ones that would merge are the larger file sized ones. The same with Krea 2 Turbo models. I have since needed to learn about converting such models into a smaller size.
