v.1.6
Thank you for choosing TovaMix for your image generation all these months. I originally made this merge for myself just to combine my favorite models, and I never expected so many people to appreciate my work. It gave me the motivation to keep experimenting!
Version 1.6 (or hybrid_v20/16c) is my final attempt to get the best possible results from Illustrious XL and NoobAI before Anima and Krea 2 take over, just as it happened with Pony XL. This version keeps all the features from v1.1 and adds prompt adherence similar to XAVIER.
The recommendations are the same as for previous versions, except for the Negative Prompt, which has become a bit more sensitive to weights.
v.1.1 - v.1.0
Hello again! This is my first-ever checkpoint merge. My goal was to build a versatile "all-in-one" model that handles as many styles and tools as possible. You might still encounter some typical AI artifacts like extra fingers or messy details and backgrounds in certain generations, but that's just how it works for now. Feel free to experiment and see what this mix can do!
Key Features:
Works very well in a wide range of artistic styles, including anime, furry, semi-realistic and realistic.
Does everything other checkpoints based on NoobAI (Epsilon-pred) and Illustrious XL do, so your usual prompts will work just fine.
Fully compatible with LoRAs for these models, and also works with some LoRAs for Pony XL!
Create your own unique styles by adding artists to the prompt: (by [artist name a]:1.0), (by [artist name b]:0.9), etc.
Models used for the merge (v1.0): Indigo Furry Mix XL, WAI-illustrious-SDXL, WAI-Mature-illustrious.
