    My fav IL model

    love this model, but does anyone else get random noise sometimes on certain prompts? Like I'll use a prompt, works fine, adjust prompt, then goes to random noise, adjust prompt again, no more random noise? There's no major syntax issues that should cause this

    Edit: Solved issue in comment reply, see the issue described here:

    hey, are you using same seed on every gen?
    also an example would be great :)

    DevilcraftMay 9, 2025· 1 reaction

    Just the same sometimes.

    Yes, same seed, but slightly different prompt. Е.g., original one: "..., small perky breasts,...", and updated version: "..., meduim perky breasts,...".

    I'll make an example, as soon as will be near my PC.

    anon4chanh4cker213Jun 1, 2025· 1 reaction

    No not on every gen, but I solved the issue, the issue is described here:

    Adjust prompt and emphasis can result in random noise output. I don't think this is unique to your model.

    https://github.com/hako-mikan/sd-webui-prevent-artifact

    You should be able to solve it without installing it via the "no norm" setting in forge which is what I use.

    In Web-UI version 1.8.0 and the latest version of Forge, the same functionality is implemented in the core system, so it's recommended to use that instead. If the core settings include options like the following, it means the core supports it:

    Enable emphasis (for AUTOMATIC1111)

    Emphasis mode (for Forge) Setting these to "No norm" will achieve the same effect as activating this extension.

    🥰 v6:

    1. Does well with "landscape" (21:9)

    2. Watermark-free (maybe 1/100 images, but not sure - about that 1/one, as I change checkpoints frequently)

    3. Does well with (sfw) clothing, (nsfw) nudity, and (skimpy) partial clothing and see-through clothings

    Out of all the versions from 1-6, there is that distinct sweet aesthetic essence in v2.0 and v3.0 that I love the most.

    Great fast checkpoint, RTX 4060 16 gb, generates quite fast. Most of the generation is great quality. Respect!

    TwostepMay 25, 2025· 1 reaction

    Lol! What takes a long time to gen up on a card like that? Even Flax works fine on it.

    shapeshifter83May 28, 2025· 1 reaction

    i also have a 4060 with the 16GB, bought it specifically for budget diffusers generation. One of the smartest, cost-conscious PC part purchases I've ever made.

    but breaker, just to help you out a bit: this model, ILustMix, is just a standard SDXL (albeit with the backing of the extensive Illustrious training). It's not merged with the turbo or lightning or hyper or DMD2 or any of the various speed-up mechanisms that have been tossed about. Which means that your comment about "generates quite fast" is irrelevant with respect to the model. Your generation speed will be the EXACT same with any standard SDXL model. And i mean EXACT. I just want help you understand that any generation speed variations you're experiencing aren't coming from the model - most likely it's coming from your choice of sampler, that's the usual spot.

    I really LOVE the near realism I can get with the v5.5 model, but it really struggles with crossed eyes. Is that just my setup or what?!? v6 of this model is also fantastic - the eyes improved markedly - but it lost some of the realism and I miss it.

    _Maximus_Jun 11, 2025· 2 reactions

    Totally agree, V6 is fantastic and a clear improvement overall, but when it comes to semi-realistic style v5.5 actually surpasses V6. Otherwise V6 is perfect.

    ttb2112Jun 11, 2025· 1 reaction

    @_Maximus_ I'm very hopeful for v7 to bring back the semi-realism without losing the improvements from v6!
