    You may have to add VAE or turn on Enhanced Compatibility

    whenever this might become available in the generator.

    I reccomend https://civarchive.com/models/1257377/djmilxlvae as that is the one i have baked into the V2

    Obsidian Arcana is a magnificent, dark-themed checkpoint forged for the creation of high-fidelity, highly detailed, and aesthetically complex stylized illustrations. It excels at a wide range of looks, from dreamlike cosmic hallucination to cinematic scenes. It specializes in blending Gothic and Decadent styles with a provocative, explicit NSFW edge. Expect deep contrasts , luxurious shadows, and vivid focal points. The Obsidian Arcana is the ultimate tool for generating figures that are powerful, magical, and unashamedly sensual —perfect for themes ranging from celestial, forbidden sorcery to high-stakes power fantasies. It reveals the beautiful, hidden secrets of the dark arts with every generation.

    POSITIVE: masterpiece, best quality

    NEGATIVE: (bad quality: 1.15), (worst quality: 1.3)

    I use CFG anywhere from 3.5 to 5.5 as my usual settings

    EulerA/Beta when I gen locally and either EulerA or Karras if I’m genning onsite.

    Description

    Added additional VAE, because i was afraid it would not work onsite

    Previews on generations show while generating but outputs all end up being blacked out images. Anyone have this kind of issue before/as well?

    @0wl654 I've been using it almost exclusively since I made the merge. Have you had this happen again?
