AniCross2 Blend IL - 80/20 SDXL Blend (Illustrious) is the Multi-model weighted blend variant of the series: Nova 0.80 / Animagine 0.20, built on Nova Anime XL IL v19.0.[Recipe] Weighted merge on UNet only: 0.80 x Nova Anime XL IL v19.0 + 0.20 x Animagine XL 4.0. VAE and text encoders inherited from Nova Anime XL IL v19.0.[Why this direction] Animagine XL 4.0 is a pure SDXL 1.0 anime model, a different architecture generation from Illustrious. Measured against Nova Reality it carries flatter colour and simpler linework, which loosens the over-rendered Illustrious look.[Series] AniCross2 IL uses deliberately small alphas (0.15 and 0.12 + 0.15) because SDXL 1.0 lineage diverges quickly; the MBW keeps structure on Nova and only touches output blocks; the Blend is 80% Nova / 20% Animagine.[Recommended settings] Euler a, 24-28 steps, CFG 5.0-5.5, 832x1216. Hires fix above 1.25x helps skin and fabric; Danbooru-style tags work well.[Known limitations] Too much Animagine destabilises hands and composition and lowers Illustrious prompt adherence, so all four are conservative by design.[Parents and license] Nova Anime XL IL v19.0: <a target="_blank" rel="ugc" href="https://civarchive.com/models/376130">https://civarchive.com/models/376130</a> ; Animagine XL 4.0: <a target="_blank" rel="ugc" href="https://civarchive.com/models/1188071">https://civarchive.com/models/1188071</a> ; Nova Reality XL IL v9.0: <a target="_blank" rel="ugc" href="https://civarchive.com/models/453428">https://civarchive.com/models/453428</a> ; Nova Orange XL REX v1.0: <a target="_blank" rel="ugc" href="https://civarchive.com/models/967405">https://civarchive.com/models/967405</a> .
