Hello everyone,

Huge Version 2.0 Update – Many changes! Read if you're interested or having issues!

It’s done! I finally finished Version 2.0 — and honestly, it was a pain in the ***.

There were many issues to address besides the actual image quality:

• bandages couldn’t be removed

• the baby doll outfit was too heavy

• the “pink” outfit was too heavy
  … and more.

What Version 2.0 is made of:

• original images from the anime (7)

• images with bandages from Version 1.0 (~40)

• and a new custom model without bandages I trained using 30 manually edited images (~160)

I had to edit 30 images manually — removing bandages from the face, avoiding too many baby doll pics (otherwise the model becomes too limited), and using flexible prompts so the model can generate more varied results later.

With the so-called “Version 1.1” model, I started generating new outfits for Renard. But after about 100 images, it became clear that my many extensions were distorting Renard’s appearance.
(Read here.)

So I had to start from scratch.

During that time, I found a newer Forge build: Forge Classic from Haoming02. It was worth testing, since it supports several optimizations like sageattention, flashattention, xformers, cuda streams, etc.
This cut my generation time by 3–7 seconds per image.
The setup is a bit complicated, but the documentation is very good.

So I created another 1.1 version with all extensions turned off and generated many new images with it.
And now I’m happy to present Version 2.0:

✅ Changes and Improvements

✔ Renard can finally be generated WITHOUT bandages
✔ 4 new outfits:

• Black armor

  • use a tag for secondary armor color, otherwise it will be random

    • e.g. "black armor, blue armor" or "black armor, red armor" look at the example pics

• Micro thong bikini

• Maid outfit

(Bows have a pretty strong influence, so you’ll probably get a lot of bows on the outfits.)

• Messy school uniform

✔ Since there are 4 new outfits, I could reduce the weight of the original baby doll outfit
✔ Higher image quality

⚠ Downsides

• The new model produces streaked hair quite often. It looks great most of the time, but sometimes you might want clean hair.
  I would say it’s 50/50.
  If you don’t want streaks, add this to your negatives:
  (messy hair, streaked hair:1.5)

• The blush tag has a strong influence.
  Put it in negative if you don’t want blush.
