    This SD 1.0XL checkpoint is based on my XL3 model

    https://civarchive.com/models/118312/xl3-experimental-sd10-xl-fp16

    So this XL3 is a merge between the refiner-model and the base model. Also I merged that offset-lora directly into XL 3. Then I added some art into XL3. This I added a lot of details to XL3. For the eye correction I used Perfect Eyes XL. The result was good but it felt a bit restrictive. So I merged a small percentage of NSFW into the mix..

    Overall it was quite more complex than it sounds.. crashed a lot during merging...

    Thanks to freek22 who helped me creating this. I highly recommend his new checkpoint FenrisXL. Check out his amazing work.

    This checkpoint is intended for creating SFW and NSFW Images, art and everything you can imagine. It's not intended for porn.

    CaN Tips made a really good comparison video: (leave a like there)

    Many images in my showcase are without using the refiner. native 1024x1024; no upscale. It works very well on DPM++ 2SA Karras @ 70 Steps . Euler a worked also for me. Feel free to experiment with every sampler :-). Use a low value for the refiner if you want to use it at all.

    Tip: Use the SD-Upscaler or Ultimate SD Upscaler instead of the refiner. This gives for me the best results ( see the example pictures).

    If you use Comfy UI.. Here is my workflow for Comfy UI https://civarchive.com/articles/1648/comfy-ui-workflow-xl6-hephaistos

    You also can download the VAE and use it with the standard V2.10/V1.1/V1.0. (You don't need this for the 2.1_baked_VAE version) .

    Here is the link:

    Why FP16? Well it needs less VRAM to run and is better to train then FP32. This is very useful for those with less VRAM. Also this prevents an error when you want to run it in FP16 with A1111. Don't use the flag --no-half. To save even more VRAM set the flag --medvram or even --lowvram (this slows everything but alows you to render larger images).

    Daedalus_7 created a really good guide regarding the best sampler for SD 1.0 XL

    Flibertygibbet created a incredible guide for prompting and the use of the cfg scale with SD 1.0XL models.

    Description

    Important:

    This is a BF16-Checkpoint so keep in mind that it ONLY works with RTX- Graphics cards.

    Use 3.30 instead if you have a AMD or Intel one
