WAIVIER is a Checkpoint Merge of three of MY favorite Checkpoints!<hr />Used Resources:<ul><li><a target="_blank" rel="ugc" href="https://civarchive.com/models/1689192?modelVersionId=1911770">XAVIER (1.0)</a></li><li><a target="_blank" rel="ugc" href="https://civarchive.com/models/827184?modelVersionId=1761560">WAI-NSFW-illustrious-SDXL (v14.0)</a></li><li><a target="_blank" rel="ugc" href="https://civarchive.com/models/1162518?modelVersionId=1331188">Plant Milk - Flax (v1.0)</a></li></ul>This is a somewhat simple merge, with a heavier focus on XAVIER as my base model, since I believe it handles visuals the best.Please check the 'About this version' section for more information about what models were used in the merge, at what weights, and what might have changed between versions.I originally made this just for myself, intending to keep it as a private merge, but as I uploaded more images and posts without having a Checkpoint to link them as resources used, I decided to just upload it so others can use it too.Recommended Settings:<ul><li>CFG: 3</li><li>Steps: 25 - 40</li><li>Sampler: DPM++ 2M SDE</li><li>Scheduler: Karras</li><li>Clip Skip: 2</li><li>VAE Baked-in </li></ul>I will always recommend using HiRes Fix with all generations to really sharpen things up, but I generate locally so I don't need to budget my buzz for it. It works without the HiRes upscaling process, but the final result will always be cleaner and sharper with it.<hr />This is a learning experience for me, so please have patience with me. I welcome criticism, feedback, requests, and suggestions!All Rights and permissions are as you'd expect when it comes to a merge. Please generate responsibly.

Mystic's Wonders - WAIVIER

v2.0 Release. (Full Release)<ul><li>VAE Baked-In</li><li>Clip Skip 2</li></ul>Merged locally using SuperMerger extension for Stable Diffusion Forge. A handful of personal style LoRAs, private Checkpoint merges, and additional poses and concepts were included in the merging process in order to get the visual style as I like it.Checkpoint is fp16, pruned, and has VAE baked-in. I recommend Clip Skip 2 as that's what I use and that's what it was merged with.My Recommended Settings:<ul><li>CFG: 3.0 - 7.0</li><li>Steps: 25 - 40</li><li>Sampler: DPM++ 2M SDE</li><li>Scheduler: Karras</li><li>Clip Skip: 2</li></ul>It's recommended to always Hires Upscale all images generated, as to ensure quality outputs. This is, of course, a personal choice though.Please keep in mind these settings tend to work best for me. That does not mean they will work best for you. Experiment and have fun.This is a continuation of my existing v1 Checkpoint, with some slight alterations to concepts, poses, and visual styles. The base style is still the same as v1, with relatively minimal changes between iterations, with a heavier focus on being more friendly to furry themes and newer characters.The base model used was my WAIVIER v1 Release, with some private merges and loras used to help train more poses and concepts. Understanding of characters should also be better, and any continued blind-spots in the model can be focused on and improved in future versions.I was originally planning on holding off on releasing a version 2, but user feedback showed there was interest in an updated model, so wanted to give it a try. There's not much of a difference between v1 and v2 stylistically, so you should still be able to use mostly the same prompt tags to get solid results.
