Here's a <a target="_blank" rel="ugc" href="https://civarchive.com/articles/17080">quick article</a> with simpler more beginner-friendly workflow. This is a recommended starting point.Do not use the Normal scheduler. Use Simple or Beta!Use euler_a, dpmpp_2m_sde or dpmpp_3m_sde as your sampler.To use the faster low-step settings, you need to use the <a target="_blank" rel="ugc" href="https://civarchive.com/models/1608870/dmd2-speed-lora-sdxl-pony-illustrious">DMD2 LoRA</a>. This allows you to use 8 or 16 steps and generate very fast. Remember to generate in 2 passes, either using "Hires fix" in Forge/A1111, or by creating and chaining a second sampler node in ComfyUI. A sample workflow if included in the sample images of the model.
