Checkpoint/Model created by BlackSnowSkill (please credit them and support them whenever you can): https://civitai.com/models/1653596/bss-illuxura-illustrious Description by BlackSnowSkill: [BSS] - IlLuxura v1.0 My first handcrafted merge — a carefully engineered blend involving layer-aware control, spatially graded attention, custom VAE integration, and fine-tuned weight adjustments. No shortcuts. Just iteration, analysis, and a lot of manual labor. 🔧 Technical Overview • Multi-depth UNet merge logic • Attention layers blended by depth for smoother transitions • Normalization layers preserved for structural consistency • Integrated custom VAE for refined tone and contrast behavior • Final merge pass includes a custom-trained LoRA blended at 0.50 strength ✅ Positive Prompt Suggestions masterpiece, best quality, high quality, ultra-detailed Add realistic to shift toward realism. ❌ Negative Prompt Suggestions worst quality, low quality, normal quality, lowres, low details, oversaturated, undersaturated, overexposed, underexposed, deformed Add anime to suppress stylized output. ⚙️ Sampler & Steps Recommended: dpmpp_2m karras, euler a karras • 25–30 steps • cfg 3-7 🎨 Style Compatibility This model is highly compatible with most LoRA models originally designed for Illustrious-based architectures, making it easy to plug into existing workflows. It also pairs especially well with my own custom LoRA Styles https://civitai.com/collections/10467760 — feel free to experiment and explore combinations.
