    This series of models began as an attempt to create an alternative update to the NightVisionXL_v0.8.1.1 by Socalguitarist, while I was waiting for the new version to come out. However, through the process of fine-tuning and merging, a unique style emerged, transforming this endeavor into an exciting and creative adventure. 馃挏馃枻馃挏

    Best suited for portraits, painting, object shooting and macro photography.

    Baked VAE, refiner not needed.

    I recommend to use DPM++ 3M SDE Karras or Exponential, 35-41 steps, 2-6 CFG Scale.

    Restart, Euler_a can also give good results.

    If you need speed, use DPM++ SDE, 10 steps, 1,5-2 CFG Scale. (works best with version 2)

    Upscaler Ultrasharp or NMKD-Siax_200k or any would you like, Hires steps 15-30

    Description

    I reduced the noise, details are now displayed more subtly and delicately, I added a small amount of Nightvision_v9

    V5 is very excitable with short, focused prompts. Very responsive to negatives, but best effort focused positives give exciting, dynamic results. Dramatic character terms really transform the output.

    I've been praying to the ai gods for exactly this. Thank you for taking the time to work on creating it, and allowing us peasants to download this for free. I will try my best to contribute what I can with the onsite currency.

    this is far and away the most artistically interesting checkpoint i've seen on civitai, just scrolling through the gallery it feels like Midnight just does not miss

    I'll be running SD locally for the first time just to try it XD

    Truly, one of the most compelling models I've encountered in some time. I feel like I'm only scratching the surface of its capabilities.

    Personally, I like the basic SDXL better.馃槉

    My workflow when making fantasy illustrations:

    1. OK, let's try some fancy new model!

    2. Waste an hour trying to get the look I want

    3. Ah, screw it, I'll just go back to Midnight!

    4. Profit.
