    Dramatic Lighting Slider V1

    This slider is designed to enhance lighting effects in both anime and realistic SDXL models like PonyXL, Illustrious, and other compatible bases. It focuses purely on the lighting and environment, leaving the subject's appearance unaffected. Perfect for creating dramatic lighting setups with strong shadows, glowing highlights, and atmospheric environments.

    Key Features:

    • Works seamlessly in 0.10 increments for precise lighting adjustments.

    • Anime-based models: Best results up to 5.0 for a wide range of dramatic lighting effects.

    • Realistic Pony models: Works perfectly up to 3.0. Can go beyond for unique stylistic results but may alter the image slightly.

    • No activation prompt required—just adjust the slider to control the lighting.

      Optional prompts: Combine with any lighting or environment-related tags (e.g., ā€œgolden hour,ā€ ā€œvolumetric light,ā€ or ā€œdim atmosphereā€) to amplify the desired effects naturally.

    Important Note: Avoid using this slider with too many LoRAs at the same time. Combining too many LoRAs can overcook the image, resulting in unnatural or distorted effects.

    This LoRa and Realism Slider both don't load on InvokeAI (Unknown LorA Type error). Any ideas why?

    I'm not sure. It's most likely something to do with your settings. Have you fixed it now?

    FellaitioFeb 1, 2025

    @klaabuĀ I'm in no way an expert but I've tried almost a hundred Loras and yet have come to face this error before :/ It might just be specific to InvokeAI or to your Lora into Invoke. No information online about this error either. Hopefully a patch from Invoke fixes it, your loras look fun!

    @FellaitioĀ no worries. Delete and redownload? Otherwise I can help sorry, it does work in A1111, Comfy and Forge. Good luck

    FellaitioFeb 19, 2025

    @klaabuĀ I've found some info that could mean something to you!
    Invoke doesn't support these:
    OneTrainer LoRA

    XLabs LoRA

    More info here: Using FLUX Models on Invoke : Invoke Support Portal

    @FellaitioĀ thanks. I think it has something to do with the header of the lora. INVOKE is trying to verify the Lora but can't. None of my loras are made with OneTrainer or Xlabs. I do know it is working in Comfy,A111 etc.

    FellaitioFeb 19, 2025

    @klaabuĀ stumbled upon a chat on Invoke's Discord and they were discussing some LoRas not being recognized. The support mentioned the code being incompatible but eh, not much more info :/

    @Ru5144 you can do that :)

    Rue_Sep 3, 2025

    @klaabuĀ i did attempt with khoya_ss but for some reason, this version+ the illustrious version always ends up always end up skipping all the layer merging, ex;

    lora_unet_down_blocks_1_attentions_0_transformer_blocks_0_attn1_to_k.alpha, not found in base model.

    i'll play with it some more and try to figure out whats going on

    I'm using Forge for AMD and when I put this in the lora folder I don't get a slider in the interface. I have to add the lora as a prompt. Am I putting it in the wrong place?

    @bovinespatula I'm not sure. I know InvokeAI has issue with reading sliders. But if it works in the prompt, that's fine. Make sure you have selected cross compatibility in settings, it might not just show up :)

    What happened to illustrious

    9984248Feb 1, 2026

    Mildly annoying but just use the pony version. I did a few same-seed tests on images that used the Illustrious-specific one and the differences were practically negligible

    @sxookie @Lucedus someone is mass reporting and half-wit is reviewing and unpublishing. PONY version will work on ILXL, just needs extra weight thats all. I'll try and sort it out in the background with Civit.

    i646AFeb 1, 2026

    @klaabu Sorry can you explain

    @klaabuĀ Ty, that explains why I was seeing alot of models re upped recently

    ElixsurFeb 4, 2026

    I just want to say thank you Klaabu for putting up with this nonsense, and fighting to make a stand for the right thing. When i saw that your Illustrious version got nuked i just face palmed myself with my hands and literally feet.
