<h3 id="about-this-model-ma2kz62bi"><strong>About this model</strong></h3><p>Standing on the shoulders of giants.<br />In no way I can take any credit for the work that creators of original models put into their checkpoints, this merge is simply an attempt to achieve the specific style that I like.</p><h3 id="how-to-use-iz806ti30"><strong>How to use</strong></h3><p>I normally use DPM++ 2M Karras, Euler a also produces good results, steps 20-40 and CFG between 6 and 8. Higher step values can fix some problems, but can also introduce unneccessary details to hands and other elements of the image.</p><h3 id="upscaling-h5ynrqvkj"><strong>Upscaling</strong></h3><p>For sharper and more detailed images I use <a target="_blank" rel="ugc" href="https://github.com/Elldreth/loopback_scaler">Loopback Scaler</a> extension with recommended settings (DDIM sampler, 30 steps, noise between 0.2-0.4, scale 2x and usually High details), and then run the result again in img2img through Ultimate SD Upscaler extension using DPM++ 2M Karras wtih ~20 steps and low noise value (0.2-0.35) to avoid adding weird details.</p><p><br />4x-UltraSharp upscaler generates softer aliasing, most noticeable in smaller details and hair, R-ESRGAN 4x proiduces sharper edges, if you're going for a more stylized look.</p><h3 id="sources-wv2hjivw4"><strong>Sources</strong></h3><ol><li><p><a target="_blank" rel="ugc" href="https://civarchive.com/models/94809?modelVersionId=393843">Real Cartoon 3D v15</a></p></li><li><p><a target="_blank" rel="ugc" href="https://civarchive.com/models/4384/dreamshaper">Dreamshaper v8</a></p></li><li><p><a target="_blank" rel="ugc" href="https://civarchive.com/models/24350?modelVersionId=253055">PerfectDeliberate v5</a></p></li></ol><h3 id="merge-steps-a4s0kthru"><strong>Merge steps</strong></h3><p>Step 1: Merge RealCartoon 3D v15 with Dreamshaper v8</p><p><img src="https://image.civitai.com/xG1nkqKTMzGDvpLrqFT7WA/23d54b55-3bdc-4bc8-a4bc-617846f23bff/width=525/23d54b55-3bdc-4bc8-a4bc-617846f23bff.jpeg" /></p><p>Step 2: Merge results of step 1 with Perfect Deliberate v5</p><p><img src="https://image.civitai.com/xG1nkqKTMzGDvpLrqFT7WA/d495d2ea-1144-404d-ba8c-07c77c21b7da/width=525/d495d2ea-1144-404d-ba8c-07c77c21b7da.jpeg" /></p><h3 id="legal-stuff-i6hbhz64o"><strong>Legal stuff</strong></h3><p>Released under CreativeML Open RAIL M License</p><p>You are responsible for all the images you generate using this model.<br /></p>
