    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.

    Hello, I am currently using your semi-realistic model. When I generate images without using your specific prompts, they inexplicably exhibit artifacts resembling VAE decoding errors. Do you know how to resolve this? I am using FORGEUI.
