I. Overview

• We have updated Neta Art XL V2.0. Comparing to version 1.0, we have optimized the character's posture dynamics, further strengthened hand stability, and are very good at telling stories with atmospheric epic scenes.

• Main motivation:

  • In V1.0, the default poses generated by our characters are relatively fixed, while the new version enhances the sense of dynamics, diverse character camera expressions, and more precise prompt control.

  • On the basis of increasing more stylistic diversity, more stable anatomy has been maintained, especially the probability of having five fingers (instead of four or six) on the hands is now higher!

  • Further training methods for issues such as Rectified Flow and Noise Offset have been better deployed. The current picture has a strong sense of epic, and can now show very bright and dark scenery (as shown in the figure below).

Tip guide

In Neta V2, we re-trained based on ArtiWaifu Diffusion V1.0 (AWA1). Therefore, we used the prompt order summarized in ArtiWaifu:

Tag order: art style ( by xxx ) - > character ( 1 frieren (sousou no frieren) ) - > race (elf) - > composition (cowboy shot) - > painting style ( impasto ) - > theme (fantasy theme) - > main environment (in the forest, at day) - > background (gradient background) - > action (sitting on ground) - > expression (expressionless) - > main characteristics (white hair) - > other characteristics (Twintails, green eyes, parted lips) - > clothing (wearing a white dress) - > clothing accessories (frills) - > other items (holding a magic wand) - > secondary environment (grass, sunshine) - > aesthetics ( beautiful color , detailed ) - > quality ( best quality) - > secondary description (birds, clouds, butterflies)

[{

"prompt": "(oil-pasto:0.6), half-pasto, anime coloring, 1girl, raiden shogun\(genshin_impact\), genshin_impact, solo, smile, sitting beside window, indoor, classroom, hand rest, japanese school uniform,"

},

{

"prompt": "(line sketch, (black and white, monochrome:1.2), draft, 1girl, solo, march 7th\(honkai: star rail\),honkai: star rail, cowboy shot, medium shot, smile, standing, hand rest,"

},

{

"prompt": "gufeng style, 2.5d, impasto, old withered vines and ancient trees, a murder of crows descending into darkness, a small bridge over gently flowing water, quaint houses nestled by the river, best quality, masterpiece, highres,"

},

{

},

{

"prompt": "pixel art, 1girl, solo, kar98k\(girls' frontline\),girls' frontline, cowboy shot, standing, medim shot,"

}]

Negative prompt: ( worst quality : 1.3), low quality , lowres , messy , abstract, ugly, disfigured, bad anatomy, draft, deformed hands, fused fingers, signature, text, multi views

Sampler parameters: Eular a is recommended as default for 28 + inferences.

Neta Art XL 2.0 still supports a very wide range of CFGs (3-20). But this time we have re-aligned the standard CFG of the model to the normal range of 7-9 for everyone to switch experiments.

II. New style recommendations

We have updated some style activation words and optimized the training. To avoid too much confusion with the original meaning of these words, it is now recommended to add a style suffix when activating.

Classic anime

(Activation word: anime coloring)

Optimize thick impasto

(Activating word: oil-pasto style)

Semi-thick impasto

(Activation word: half-impasto style)

Heavy training 2.5d

(Activation word: 2.5d style)

Neta Art XL 2.0 updates a number of special artists, activated using the by xxx tag.

III. Better role dynamics

1girl, jack-o' challenge

1girl, upside-down

1boy, harry potter, magic wand, amazing quality

1girl, yoimiya\(genshin impact\), by as109, by antifreeze3, by sho \(sho lwlw\), by junny

Neta Art XL V2.0

Neta Art XL V1.0

Original question

Incoordination of limbs

Not distinguishing hands and feet

Scenes are more templated

V1's stylization is not obvious and more like a fixed character illustration, while V2's characters are very vivid and lively

IV. Epic scenes

1girl, amazing quality, ultra wide shot of Gal Gadot Wonder Woman, holding Mjölnir Hammer, fighting in THOR movie, action-packed, ultra-wide, battle scene, intense, high-quality digital camera, epic cinematic shot, high-resolution digital image, sharp focus, panchromatic film,

super dark, extreme dark, fireflies, unicorn, forest, twilight

Trump, at a public gathering, on stage, flags over head, giving a speech, people screaming, amazing quality

Depth of field in battle scenes

Atmosphere of extremely dark scenes

Dramatic tension

V. Training strategies

Model Training is divided into three stages.

1. Rough practice: Teach models basic knowledge and concepts of the second dimension. Learning Rate: Constants 1e-5 (unet), 7.5e-6 (text encoder) Equivalent batch size: 96 Optimizer: AdaFactor (False relative_step, scale_parameter and warmup_init) Noise-free offset Time step sampling: LogitNormal (ln3,1) Minimum signal to noise ratio: 5 Note: Since the basic model has most of the prior knowledge, this stage is skipped in actual training.

1. Concept Reinforcement: This stage teaches and reinforces all the concepts that the model needs to learn, including artists and characters with less data. The core strategy is data weighting - increasing the weight of data with less data, that is, the number of times it is repeatedly trained in a single epoch, and supplemented with other strategies to help concept learning, such as randomly removing core features of characters. The training parameters for the concept reinforcement stage are exactly the same as those for rough practice.

2. Refinement: This stage uses data with quality ratings of best and amazing to continue fine-tuning the model, freezes the text encoder, enables label randomization algorithm, adds noise offset of 0.0357, and uniformly samples time steps during training. Learning Rate: Constants 2e-6 (unet), 1e-6 (text encoder) Equivalent batch size: 48 Optimizer: AdaFactor (False relative_step, scale_parameter and warmup_init) Noise offset: 0.0357 Time step sampling: uniform distribution (same as normal training) Minimum signal to noise ratio: 5
