팁

Use batch count 4-20 for better throughput or 1 if impatient

Feel free to experiment with settings

Use face detailer and watermark removal for improved output quality

버전 하이라이트

i wanted to try a slightly different style. however, the focus on strong lighting and volumetrics remain

stronger lighting. try things like "mist," or "fog," for some neat results
in testing, it seems to have a wider color range. more vibrant outputs, unless you prompt accordingly.

Changelog

..BAKED-VAE v0.1: i baked a VAE in to make it better for onsite generation, and local gen as well (for those who dont load a VAE separately). in general, lighting and colors are noticeably better! Because of the baked VAE, this is the ideal version for onsite use.

illustrious-XL v0.1: First illustrious version. i tried to keep the style similar to the pony version, but ultimately wanted better lighting, and more flexible style overall. Will probably keep updating until im happy, but ive switched focus lately to Loras over checkpoints and photos in general. ill get to it eventually.

v0.8.1: the better version. this version was supposed to be 0.8 (i have no idea how i uploaded the wrong version. sleepy brain? oops). better results without style loras, but still compliments them very well. still looking for feedback.

v0.8: my first (public) pony merge. looking feedback to improve the newer version that’s in the works.
