This is an experimental merge, separate from my GonzaLomo models. I think the name of the model says it all.
My primary purpose in creating this model is to generate images that I can use for WAN I2V. I wanted something that had a more amateur feel while still being able to produce good color, composition and lighting.
The v5.1 models are really the best of the bunch and offer a wide variety in speed and usage while giving the best photorealistic results.. See the version details for the recommended settings for each of those.
Most of these versions are DMD models, intended to produce images very rapidly. I recommend using my SDXL DMD workflow.
The recommended settings for the DMD models are:
Sampler: LCM
Scheduler: karras, exponential or beta
Steps: 6-14
CFG: 1.0-1.3
Clip Skip: 1-5
Fooocus Setup Instructions
1) Click the Advanced checkbox.
2) On the Settings tab, leave the Preset as 'initial' and the Performance as 'Speed'.
3) On the Models tab, set both the Base and Refiner models to MoP.
4) Change the Refiner Switch At setting to anywhere from 0.75 to 0.90. I like 0.85.
5) On the Advanced tab, change the Guidance Scale to 1.
6) Change the Positive ADM Guidance Scaler to 1.
7) Change the Sampler to 'lcm'. You can leave the Scheduler as Karras or Exponential.
8) Set the Forced Overwrite of Sampling Step to 7 to 11. I like 9.
Description
Honestly, I can't say that this is significantly better than v4.0. I've actually reduced the DMD2 strength about 20% which I think helps reduce oversaturation and makes image generations a bit more consistent. I may reduce it further with the next version.
I toyed with just calling this v4.0 Alt, labeling it just an alternative version. However, there are a lot of changes so I think it warrants being called v5.0. I can probably still squeeze a little more quality and consistent photorealism out of SDXL but probably not much.
The recommended settings are:
Sampler: LCM
Scheduler: karras, exponential or beta
Steps: 5-12
CFG: 0.8-1.3
Clip Skip: 1-5
My favorite setting is LCM\Karras, CFG 0.8, 7-9 steps. It can be a little unstable and I might need to generate more images to get a really good one but I find those settings can create great images.
