These are my first attempts at a merge favoring semi-realism, with an ultimate goal of blending photorealism, anime, and western animation for a style that "softens" reality.
This attempt started with Rev Animated v1.2.2 (Thanks to s6yx), at a ratio of 0.80 mixed (through ComfyUI) with epiCRealism (Thanks to epinikion). I then crammed in Style03 from anime style box (thanks, kozue ) to further define the style of animation to build the base of model's style.
Usage:
Images shown tend to have the following settings:
VAE: vae-ft-mse-840000-ema
Clip Skip: 2
Aspect: 512*768 or 512*904 for portrait
The initial pass through ComfyUI is usually:
Steps: 40
Cfg: 7.0
Sampler: dpm++_2m (karras)
The upscale is done at 1.5 times using 4x-Ultrasharp
Steps: 25
Cfg: 7.0
Sampler: dpm++_2m (simple)
Denoise: 0.40
Description
CHANGE LOG
10/20/2023 - Incorporated the following LoRA into the base model using ComfyUI:
Concept: Perfect Eyes (Thanks to malcomrey, for all of your hard work!) - Strength 1.10
epi_noiseoffset (by the incomparable epinikion) - Strength 0.5
ReaLora /Realistic skin texture/ (by byFready) - Strength 0.65
This (hopefully) brings in some definition to the eyes, deepens the shadows somewhat, and tweaks skin texture to add a little more realism, while maintaining a softer side of reality.
