Manticore is a custom merge I produced to more accurately recreate traditional styles such as watercolors, sketches, and oil painting.
This model functions very similarly the base NoobAI XL V-pred model, so please follow this guide to get started.
All loras and tags that function on Noob/Illustrious should function just fine.
This model will produce beautiful images of both furry and anime content.
I would personally recommend Euler A sampler with 24-32 steps + normal / SGM uniform scheduler
Enjoy.
Description
V3 combines the benefits of both v1 and v2, producing beautiful traditional styles and staying true to specific artists.
Less "unstable" linework from v1 but no somewhat overpowering base style from v2

I use A1111 and I only get something that looks like noise or static instead of a proper image. This problem appears ONLY with NoobAI checkpoints. Is there some setting that I should tweak?
I've noticed this when using samplers hat the checkpoint doesn't appear to like. I had this problem yesterday and just about every sampler I tried EXCEPT for Euler A did the same thing. I also noticed certain keywords that the checkpoint doesn't like can cause the same issue. Otherwise, it's most likely a VAE problem. Edit I run updated forge, so I always forget A1111 doesn't run vpred properly without updating. Do that first.
this is a V-pred model. A1111 only supports V-pred XL models on the dev branch. You'll either have to switch to the dev branch or use another GUI like RE/Forge or ComfyUI
@Anomalous_Anonymous This is the answer. Just:
git checkout dev
and then
git pull
@Anomalous_Anonymous thx
@mantae720 thx
I have problems with this checkpoint after upscaling. After upscaling, the picture has little in common with the original even with minimal denoise, and there are a lot of deformations and artifacts.
can you post a screenshot of your workflow or something? This doesn't really provide a lot of info to go off to help troubleshoot
