I'll preface this with saying. I don't have a clue what I'm doing. I'm just a dude with too much free time. These are purely experimental merges where I take my favorite checkpoints and try to improve upon one specific aspect or another.

Achlucious Merges

Ultimately the more I used Semi-Real2 or 2.5 the more I noticed little details that could improve, blurry bits I didn't like etc. I actually started working on this as a successor to my 'Custom Testing' merge but in the process ultimately found what caused a lot of that little blurriness on Semi-Real2/2.5 that had been bothering me. It was like I had just...'unlocked' something and it suddenly became the next in my Semi-Real series. This merge feels like what Semi-Real2 and 2.5 should have been. Just as with it's predecessors DMP++2M SDE or SDE Huen Karras or SGM Uniform 15-20steps and CFG 2-3, Euler A Karras, or LCM Exponential/Karras all work well. See pics for individual settings.
