Welcome back to the 80s! It was a hairier time!
A simpler time with crazy dos, and naughty dont's!
This is an Illustrious XL merge based on Perfection Realistic, with 80s style images trained on top.
80s photo trigger word
It's recommended to use 80s photo as a trigger word to enhance the strengths of the model.
Do not use the Normal scheduler. Use Simple or Beta!
Use euler_a, dpmpp_2m_sde or dpmpp_3m_sde as your sampler.
To use the faster low-step settings, you need to use the DMD2 LoRA. This allows you to use 8 or 16 steps and generate very fast. Remember to generate in 2 passes, either using "Hires fix" in Forge/A1111, or by creating and chaining a second sampler node in ComfyUI. A sample workflow if included in the sample images of the model. Use this as a reference.
Each sample/preview image contains the used workflow. Here's a quick article with simpler more beginner-friendly workflow. This is a recommended starting point.
Recommended Settings
Steps: 30 + (8 upscale steps)
CFG-scale: 8 + (4 upscale CFG)
Sampler: DPM++ SDE (dpmpp_sde)
Scheduler: Beta
Description
The model doesn't require any trigger words, but using appropriate terminology for prompting helps. I suggest using 80s photo at the start of each prompt for an enhanced effect.
