https://civitai.com/models/17427?modelVersionId=256504 🔹☁️ Hello, this is Ether Blu Mix ☁️🔹 Ether Blu Mix is a stylized anime model specialized in creating character illustrations with vibrant colors, expressive backgrounds and a painterly feel. Based on Silicon29 and Counterfeit 3, I consider this my interpretation of a pastel-mix style of model. ✨ Please Share Your Cool Creations Below! ✨ * Version 6 Update: Hey everyone, Ether Blu 6 is focused on capturing some of the "clean" and slightly animated feeling of Ether Blu 4 while retaining the vibrant colors and painterly texture of Ether Blu 5. I also looked to improve its lighting as I enjoyed the atmospheric light seen in TMND and Lunar Radiance. I also baked the vae since I kept seeing outputs with the wrong vae applied. Hopefully I was able to create a happy middle ground between the appeal of both EBM 4 and EBM 5. Thanks everyone, busy at the moment and will update everything soon. Happy holidays! 🎉 🚧 Description is currently a WIP. Thanks for your patience. 🚧 * Huggingface Archive ☄️ Generation Recommendations Use whatever sampler, steps, CFG you prefer. Sample images were generated with Sampler: DPM++ 2M Karras Steps: 20 - 28 CFG: 7 - 11 Clip Skip: 1 ENSD: 31337 Increasing CFG can lead to more vibrant results. Negative Prompt Example: "NSFW, (worst quality, low quality:1.3)" Recommended VAE: Waifu Diffusion VAE kl-f8-anime2 Strongly recommended as the model was tuned with this VAE's color and saturation in mind. Sample images were further upscaled using AUTO1111 Hi-res fix. Please utilize it if you wish to achieve similar results. Latent (nearest-exact) Upscale by: 2 Denoising strength: 0.55 Are your results changing too much after Hi-res fix? Please try 4x-foolhardy-Remarci. 4x-foolhardy-Remarci Upscale by: 2 Denoising strength: 0.45 - 0.55 🖊️ Prompting Advice As Ether Blu 5 leans heavier into the anime aesthetic I recommend using the suggested positive and negative prompts of AOM3. masterpiece, best quality, NSFW, (worst quality, low quality:1.3) The model was mixed and tested using these prefixes and will give you the most consistent style results. Of course you're free to prompt however you'd like as booru-style models tend to be quite flexible in prompting. If you look at the prompts included with the sample images they demonstrate that even with a very loose and vague style of prompting you can achieve fun, high quality images. Experiment and give the AI some freedom to interpret your ideas! General guidelines: Prompt in the style of anime/booru-style models, "masterpiece, best quality, ..... " More anime style images Prompt in the style of photography/non-anime models, "professional photograph of ..... " More realistic images, higher style variety 📘 Model Merging Info - v5 I have no training or real knowledge of machine learning. I merged the model using the information provided on WarriorMama777's AOM model page. I very arbitrarily used the UBM weights given to merge and create AOM3 and its derivatives and modified the values with trial and error until I was visually happy with it. I utilized the SuperMerger extension for AUTO1111 by hako-mikan. ▼ Merging MODEL A: AOM3.safetensors MODEL B: Counterfeit-V3.0_fp16.safetensors Add Sum merge - Don't Use MBW Alpha: 0.5 Model: AOM3-Counter3Sum-05 ▼ MODEL A: AOM3-Counter3Sum-05 MODEL B: nightSkyYOZORAStyle_yozoraV1PurnedFp16 Add Sum merge - Don't Use MBW Alpha: 0.4 Model: AOM3-Counter3Sum-05-YozoraSum-04 ▼ MODEL A: AOM3-Counter3Sum-05-YozoraSum-04 MODEL B: colorBoxModel_colorBOX.safetensors MODEL C: AOM3-Counter3Sum-05 Add Difference merge - Don't Use MBW Alpha: 0.2 Model: AOM3-Counter3Sum-05-YozoraSum-04-ColorBoxDiff-02 ▼ MODEL A: AOM3-Counter3Sum-05-YozoraSum-04-ColorBoxDiff-02 MODEL B: pastelmix-better-vae-fp16.safetensors MODEL C: Basil_mix_fixed.safetensors Weight Sum merge - Use MBW Alpha: 1 0,0.2,0.2,0.2,0.2,0.2,0,0,0,0,0.2,0.1,0.2,0.2,0.2,0.2,0.2,0.1,0.1,0.1,0.2,0.2,0.1,0.2,0.2,0.2 Beta: 1 0,0.2,0.2,0.2,0.2,0.2,0,0,0,0,0.2,0.1,0.2,0.2,0.2,0.2,0.2,0.1,0.1,0.1,0.2,0.2,0.1,0.2,0.2,0.2 Model: AOM3-Counter3Sum-05-YozoraSum-04-ColorBoxDiff-02-PastelSumS1-02-BasilSumS1-02 ▼ MODEL A: AOM3-Counter3Sum-05-YozoraSum-04-ColorBoxDiff-02-PastelSumS1-02-BasilSumS1-02 MODEL B: ayonimix_V5.safetensors Weight Sum merge - Use MBW Alpha: 1 0,0.2,0.2,0.2,0.2,0.2,0,0,0,0,0.2,0.1,0.2,0.2,0.2,0.2,0.2,0.1,0.1,0.1,0.2,0.2,0.1,0.2,0.2,0.2 Final Model: EtherBluMix-5 ▼ LORA Mix xlimo768: 0.25 dpep4-768-000004: 0.3 sttabi_v1.4-04: 0.05 Jordan_3: 0.2 lightingv2: 0.4 Models Used: *AOM3.safetensors D124FC18F0232D7F0A2A70358CDB1288AF9E1EE8596200F50F0936BE59514F6D *Counterfeit-V3.0_fp16.safetensors CBFBA64E662370F59D4AA2AA69BF16749FCE93846CCCE20506AEE5DF01169859 *pastelmix-better-vae-fp16.safetensors D01A68AE76F97506363F387F5F28BB564AD9E20924844FD5945E600B72D39E79 *colorBoxModel_colorBOX.safetensors 93A20525F51798309AF22AC6E8285E61CF563A88F1EE00AA9F544CA939E63181 *nightSkyYOZORAStyle_yozoraV1PurnedFp16 E7BF829CFFD9EA034DA3B59FA13421F52AA4E4ED74FCBBEEFBF9CFB2F97C329E *ayonimix_V5.safetensors B46B04432B070FD88D69161B62C43EDCD4340DFC27FFB2E5FE7EDA64950C7E34 *Basil_mix_fixed.safetensors 0FF127093F5BE455057742C40CEF578407B6933F240EE8DC5ED0F3061196FB38 💙 Credits Thank you to WarriorMama777 for providing AOM and other various mixes as well as detailing your workflow and inspiring me to try mixing my own models.
