A side-grade merge of several of my models (SteinIllustrious, Augenstein, and Illustein) using Merge Block Weighted merging experimentally - something that's new to me. This particular prototype seems to be a bit better at furry art than others, and folks seem to like the results, so, I figure it's time to give it an upload.
Recommended sampler: DDPM
Step Count: 30-40
Scheduler: Align Your Steps GITS
CFG: 4.5-5.5
Recognizes source and score tags (though these are not required), and tends to reach its peak aesthetics without a negative prompt.
Description
A bit of an older variation that's been sitting on my hard drive gathering dust for a couple of months, I rediscovered it while exploring my model folder. If memory serves, this was a slight blend with the version of Forgia that I released around the same time as V2 of this series. Updates the visuals a bit and yields new results from old prompts. As I am not directly injecting new data into my models at this stage - mostly experimenting with Merge Block Weighted sliders and cross-blending my model families - that's about the best I can offer for a changelog here. If you try it and like it as much as I did, I'll be happy.
