WaiTrio MBW IL - Animagine Block Split (Illustrious) is the Per-block weight split variant of the series: WAI structure, SDXL output, built on Wai_Illustrious_ILXL_Real v1.0.
[Recipe] Block-weighted merge on UNet only: Wai_Illustrious_ILXL_Real v1.0 toward Animagine XL 4.0 at 0.15 overall, with per-block weights base 0.15 / in 0.25 / mid 0.35 / out 0.50. VAE and text encoders inherited from Wai_Illustrious_ILXL_Real v1.0.
[Why this direction] WAI is a high-detail anime checkpoint, so it is used as the base here; NoobAI adds thick-paint illustration and Animagine adds SDXL 1.0 flatness, both measured against Nova Anime as the common reference.
[Series] WaiTrio IL is the WAI-based counterpart of AniTrio: Diff 0.30, Dual 0.25 + 0.20, MBW with Animagine in the output blocks, and a 40/30/30 blend led by WAI.
[Recommended settings] Euler a, 24-28 steps, CFG 5.0-5.5, 832x1216. Hires fix above 1.25x helps skin and fabric; Danbooru-style tags work well.
[Known limitations] WAI is already highly detailed, so added illustration weight can oversharpen texture; watch noise on skin and fabric at high steps.
