    Using the model:

    • The model was trained primarily on images with minimal disruptive elements, such as floating text, logos, speech bubbles, or signatures. If any of these elements appear in an image, please include "signature" in your negative prompt.

    • Danbooru Metadata and franchise tags are not used in training, so please avoid using them in prompts. Metadata such as "highres" and franchise tags like "re:zero kara hajimeru isekai seikatsu" are not used in training.

    • A CFG scale between 3 and 7 is recommended. For best results, use CFG 6 with the Euler a sampler.

    • Refer to the example images, to understand, how the model should be used.

    • The model is designed to be simple and straightforward to prompt. Use the following tag order:

      1. Number of characters

      2. Character Tags

      3. All remaining tags
        Example: 1girl, rem \(re:zero\), standing, masterpiece, upper body

    • Here are some resolution options for SDXL:

      • 1536 x 640

      • 1344 x 768

      • 1216 x 832

      • 1152 x 896

      • 1024 x 1024

      • 896 x 1152

      • 832 x 1216 (most recommended)

      • 768 x 1344

      • 640 x 1536

    Lora use:

    • NoobAIs Loras working for the most part better in compare to Illustrious loras

    • Versions 2 and 3 is less compatible to most loras trained on Illustrious or Noob, because it got further trained away of both. Style A is still the most compatible for it.

    Description

    Only a performance update, no new characters or such.


    Improvements:
    - Better-formed eyes
    - Better hands
    - Fewer artifacts overall

    Worse:
    - Backgrounds can look more blurry, noisy or messy, describing the background a bit more can change that
    - It makes sometimes strange dark orange like images

    Recommended negatives are "worst quality, bad quality, sketch". With negative "sketch" giving more clean line art (most of the time). Sometimes not using worst quality, bad quality, gives better results, strangely enough.

    Style A tends to produce better eyes with a more stable style overall, while Style 2.1 offers more detailed images with a less 2D appearance. If you prefer images with added detail and depth, Style 2.1 might be the better choice for you. Even if you need to kick the model in the balls sometimes.

    Note: Some concepts have a strong drawn appearence and others more of a 2.5 feel (especially with character prompts, giving more drawn results). The price of more versatility in general. Don't overload it with quality prompts or a wall of text prompts, its versatility is also its weakness. Overloading it with too much information can cause the model to produce unhinged results, because it don't have a strong "style saveguard".


    In maybe 2-3 weeks i have a dataset updated model, but it only offers new genshin characters so far.

    can you elaborate, what you mean by that?

    GM_MDMar 5, 2025· 3 reactions

    @Ikena I apologize for my short terse initial comment. Normally that prompt is a placebo prompt, or an unnecessary prompt. Such as "best quality, ultra high res, hdr, 4k, 8k, official art, extreme detailed, highest detailed, intricate details". Prompts like those had worked with Midjourney and many people kept using them with newer models. Others copied those prompts not understanding they had no effect, and/or causing generation degradation.

    Chris2000SPMar 4, 2025

    I tried a lora first time with 2.0 and it didn't turn well. Is it recommended to use less prompting or other useful tricks make it work better? I tested it with a popular Stabilizer IllustriusXL Lora and had no luck with that.

    mike090y9Mar 5, 2025

    @Chris2000SP well since i haven't tried this checkpoint and dont know what lora you are talking about i can only speculate, but loras normally use strength between 0.5 and 1, if you use 2 most of the time you will get random noise as a result

    Chris2000SPMar 7, 2025

    @mike090y9 Yes, i know that. But i had more Issues than fixes using the Lora i mentioned on the Hassaku XL (Illustrius) 2.0 Checkpoint. I had conjunctions that i put in negative prompt together with this Lora i Mendioned. It has fixed some issues and did on other parts mistakes that wasn't a problem before.

    mike090y9Mar 8, 2025· 1 reaction

    @Chris2000SP well to be fair without knowing what lora you are talking about there isn't much anyone can do to help you, since each lora behaves different, and you also need to consider the compatibility of styles, for example an anime checkpoint like this will have low compatibility with a lora that was trained on a non anime style of images, if the lora base it's too different from the lora checkpoint you may want to use style transfer nodes instead of a lora

    Chris2000SPMar 10, 2025

    @mike090y9 thx. And for the info, i used a Anime and Illustrius compatible Lora.

    how do I make consistency on the face? Only the face I dont wanna overcomplicated stuff, im pretty new to this. Its easier to make a Lora? If yes how many images and how do I replicate the person to make the lora?

    When you make an image, you generate a seed, Wich is a serial of numbers let's say, just copy that or a remix using the same seed.

    Well yeah if you want more precise accuracy and is not a famous character, Lora for it will help a lot.

    Usually at least 20 images I would say , the more images for the Lora the better

    Why does the 1.3b version of the model generate images normally, but versions 2 and 2.1 produce only blurry noise, even when only the model is changed and all other settings remain identical? I’m not sure if I need to update anything, download additional plugins, or make any adjustments here.

    @Ikena same here, using comphy was able to generate images only with euler_ancestral + sgm_uniform, Hires fix melts an image, and detailer for hands and faces misses colours. Guess there is some kind of an incompatibility with loras i used.
