Sooo...a whole major version in 3 days. What's the difference between v1 and v2? v1 has impressed the F out of me, so I have high expectations.
Thanks for the kind words about V1 — I really appreciate the support. 😊
V2 isn’t a direct upgrade; it’s more of a spin‑off branch. It blends comic and cartoon styles, with a stronger focus on “bubbly” proportions. The main goal was to keep the atmosphere consistent: even with the more stylized shapes, dark and action‑heavy scenes still hold their mood.
I’d be glad to hear your thoughts once you’ve had a chance to try it.
To follow up, what's the changes between V2 and V2d?
@UdjinEugen Gotcha, thank you for linking that article, the visual examples are very useful to explain the differences in the versions!
For what it's worth, I came to the checkpoint model page from seeing it on the list of featured ones on the homepage, I didn't go through your actual profile page and I didn't see the link for that comparison article. It might be a helpful thing in future to link it directly in the model page as well?
@TrashGenner It’s already done. 😊
v2d is so pretty, good stuff!
Man, This is a cool model. I love it.
Just a heads up. Your model does not parse in some metadata nodes. I had to post directly to it. I'd either write a ticket or re-upload.
Thanks for the heads-up! I'll look into the metadata issue. Appreciate the feedback!
@UdjinEugen Just FYI, It was a CivitAI issue (gee 🙄). Once I redownloaded it this morning, it worked.
@lonecatone23 Got it :) Thanks anyway for the feedback! For some reason, importing from the built-in generator doesn't work for me at all, and 3k images ended up in unpublished… plenty to keep me busy 😅
@UdjinEugen Yeah, I'd replace the checkpoint upload then. I've had thsi happen on a LoRA before/ Just right click, manage files, delete, then replace (if you didn't already know).
