# The Buraydah Tower LoRA: Bringing a Saudi Icon to SDXL

🇸🇦 Preserving a Local Landmark through AI

The baseline SDXL ecosystem has no native knowledge of Buraydah Tower—the defining architectural icon of my hometown, Buraydah, Al-Qassim, Saudi Arabia. I engineered this LoRA specifically to bridge that gap using a dataset of images meticulously handpicked with maximum care to deliver high photographic fidelity.

🎯 Niche, Purpose-Driven, and Indispensable

This specialized model is dedicated to:

Local creators & digital artists weaving regional heritage into AI art.
Architectural visualizers working on projects in the Al-Qassim province.
AI enthusiasts looking for rare, culturally accurate assets.

A Personal Note: It transforms a blank canvas into a piece of home, giving you the power to place Buraydah Tower under any sky, weather condition, or artistic style you imagine.

✨ Features of this LoRA:

High Versatility: Mastered across lighting conditions (rainy overcast days to vibrant evening floodlights).
Clean Environmental Isolation: Smoothly separates the tower from cars, roads, and foliage.
Tailored for SDXL Standard: Best utilized with photorealistic samplers for true-to-life textures.

# Recommended Training Parameters

Optimized configuration for a dataset size of 12–15 high-quality photorealistic images on SDXL Standard.

⚙️ Dataset & Step Configuration

📅 Epochs: 10
🔄 Num Repeats: 20 (Creates 240 steps per epoch with 12 images)
📉 Total Steps: 2400 (Balanced to freeze architectural details smoothly)
🖼️ Resolution: 1024 (Native SDXL standard resolution)

🧠 Learning Rate (LR) Settings

⚡ Unet LR: 0.0001 (or 1e-4) — Prevents structural artifacting.
🔤 Text Encoder LR: 0.00005 (or 5e-5) — Aligns text conditioning with the new concept.
📈 LR Scheduler: cosine — Smoothly decays learning rate to stabilize final weights.
🔄 LR Scheduler Cycles: 3 — Restarts the curve to escape local minima.

🏷️ Captioning & Token Control

🔀 Shuffle Tags: Enabled (Checked) 🟩 — Teaches the model to isolate the tower from its background.
📌 Keep Tokens: 1 — Locks the primary trigger word (Buraydah_Tower) at the front.

📐 Network Dimensions & Fine-Tuning

🕸️ Network Dim (Rank): 32 — Keeps the file compact yet highly detailed.
⚖️ Network Alpha: 32 — Matches Rank for weight scaling stability.
🌑 Noise Offset: 0.1 — Improves dynamic range for deep twilight and night shadows.
🛠️ Optimizer: Adafactor — Memory-efficient and stable for SDXL architectural tuning.

# Dataset Preparation & Prompting Guide

Unlike Flux, SDXL relies fundamentally on comma-separated tags.

📋 Core Rules for SDXL Tagging

Trigger Word First: Always start with Buraydah_Tower to anchor the concept.
General to Specific: Order from highest priority (shot type, main subject) to lower priority (weather, secondary elements).
Isolate Variables: Mention cars, trees, and roads separately so the model knows they aren't part of the tower's fixed architecture.
Specify Environment: Include clear tags for angles and lighting to maximize generation flexibility.
