    Update V2 v-pred

    V2 is a complete new merge based on Rouwei 0.8 v-pred. For some time, I did not know how to proceed with this model and then gave mentioned Rouwei model a try and found out it worked pretty well in producing both semi-realistic Anime style and "realistic" semi-realistic pictures.

    Since this model is now V-pred based, the settings changed quite a bit:

    Sampler / Scheduler: Euler A + SGM Uniform or Euler Negative with Align your Steps
    CFG: 3-5
    Steps: 25
    Resolutions: tested with SDXL resolutions
    Highres fix and adetailer if needed depending on use case
    VAE is included

    New Quality tags:

    Positive

    masterpiece,best quality,amazing quality

    Negative

    low quality, worst quality, watermark, signature, censored, mosaic censoring, bar censor

    In order to get a more realistic look, add the tags "realistic, photorealistic" to the positive prompt.


    Version 1

    This Semi-Realistic Checkpoint is based on Illustrious XL 1.1 and is able to produce both 2.5D Anime style and Semi-Realistic pictures.

    It understands both natural language and Booru tags and supports resolutions up to 1536x1536 px.

    Please see below Quality tags for each style.

    Recommended settings:

    Sampler: Euler A / Scheduler: SGM Uniform

    CFG: 3-5

    Steps: 25-30

    Resolutions: works stable up to 1536x1536 px

    Highres fix and adetailer if needed depending on use case

    VAE is included

    Very intelligent model but outputs can be blurry without highres fix, I need to test with vixonsillustmerge as a refiner.

    Doesn't work for ReForgeUI.

    @Zessica For some reason it doesn't work on automatic1111 either, there are just colored noises instead of pictures, as if the wrong VAE is turned on, although I turned it off and tried different VAEs,

    @Shadow090102 V2 is a v-pred model. You need to use Forge, Reforge or ComfyUI. A1111 does not support the v-pred format.
