Ether PDXL

* Ether PDXL - Version A1Weird early version that still makes some cool stuff.Using PD for Anime as a base then trying to mix and merge to improve and expand aspects of style, natural language prompting, backgrounds and overall flexibility. Trying a weird "add difference" block weight merge with Animagine 3.1 attempting to expand prompting response, composition and lighting variation.Still in its early stages. I'm trying to understand SDXL merging as well as navigate resources that align with my goals.VAE is baked in. It's <a target="_blank" rel="ugc" href="https://civitai.com/models/152040?modelVersionId=360299">XL VAE C9.1</a> as it's more vibrant than standard SDXL which better fits the aesthetic I'm looking for.Haven't really tested LORA's with it yet, please let me know how it goes.Looking forward to your feedback!Please refer to <a target="_blank" rel="ugc" href="https://civitai.com/models/257749/pony-diffusion-v6-xl">Pony V6</a> and <a target="_blank" rel="ugc" href="https://civitai.com/models/315596/pd-for-anime">PD for Anime's</a> model pages for more detailed prompting guidelines.📙 Model Merging Info - A1I have no training or real knowledge of machine learning.
