Please read through the entire description (might need to be expanded) and the version change notes as they cover a lot of information about basic use cases and limitations. The description is always focused on the latest version. Thank you!This is an SD 1.5 LoRA for the character Nessa / Rurina from Pokemon. It works for models based on SD 1.x only, it will not work for models based on SD 2.x or SDXL!Example images were picked from base resolution txt2img results + the FreeU extension (<a target="_blank" rel="ugc" href="https://github.com/ljleb/sd-webui-freeu">https://github.com/ljleb/sd-webui-freeu</a>) enabled with default settings to further improve results (see last example images for a comparison of FreeU disabled vs enabled). They were then re-created at 2x resolutions using txt2img with moderate Hi-res Fix settings (upscaler Lanczos, denoising strength 0.4). This improves faces and other details that are almost impossible to get correctly and consistently at base resolutions (limitation of the technology) while still giving a realistic impression of what it looks like. Base resolution results will have more distorted faces and less detail.Please see the version change notes for the training and example image generation models as well as the used weights as they might change between versions. Remember that you might need to adjust weights to best suit your use case!Remember to add the tag nessa \(pokemon\) (with backslashes intact) to your positive prompt.The training set contained multiple variations of Nessa's signature look (though very heavily weighted towards the signature bikini outfit as there aren't many others) so you might need to put combinations of the following tags in your positive or negative prompts to get the desired results:<ul><li>armlet</li><li>armband</li><li>belly chain</li><li>bikini</li><li>dynamax band</li><li>ear piercing</li><li>hair bun</li><li>hair ornament</li><li>hoop earrings</li><li>necklace</li><li>sandals</li><li>single glove</li></ul>As the training set contained a few images with floating hair, you might need to add floating hair to the negative prompts if not desired.Known Limitations / Problems:<ul><li>The skin tone sadly is quite a bit too light on average but I don't know how to fix that at the moment. It is very much NOT intentional! I might need to change the training data to include some better images with dark skin tones but I already have quite a few of those. You may have some success prompting for dark skin or very dark skin but it does not seem to help too much.</li><li>The sandals and ear piercings were not present in a lot of images and not a focus for the training so they sadly will not be consistent at all.</li><li>Same goes for the positioning of the asymmetrical arm bands and glove since they are not bound to a consistent arm. They might even merge together or disappear. No idea how to fix this yet.</li><li>Sometimes, double hair buns might get generated instead of a single one. Try single hair bun in the positive prompts and / or double bun in the negative prompts if that happens. I might change the tag in the future to prevent this from happening.</li><li>Good luck getting the necklace to look as it should (don't think this can be fixed as it is an awkward shape to train).</li></ul>

[SD 1.5] Pokemon - Nessa / Rurina

General changes:<ul><li>Removed unnecessary general tags earrings and piercing (they already had more specific equivalents, see description)</li><li>Changed example weight from ~0.5 to ~0.7 (result of training changes)</li></ul>Changes to the training process (with the goal of hopefully making this and my other models more flexible and compatible while reducing overfitting):<ul><li>Switched from a flat 200 repeats x 1 epoch to 20 repeats x 10 epochs (max) and selecting the best results</li><li>Lowered network training alpha from 128 to 64 to hopefully increase the quality of the result a bit</li><li>Resized LoRA from rank 128 to rank 64 rank after training (still training with rank 128) to reduce size and "smooth out" some of the training results while not changing much (going down to rank 32 seems to have too much influence on the quality of results, so I kept it at 64)</li></ul>Used weight: 0.7Training model: <a target="_blank" rel="ugc" href="https://civitai.com/models/66/anything-v3">Anything V3</a>Example image generation model: <a target="_blank" rel="ugc" href="https://civitai.com/models/4451/abyssorangemix2-hardcore">AbyssOrangeMix2 - Hardcore</a>
