Stardate 2026.07.01; Captain's Log: I'm finding some fidelity issues with background fuzzing and some foreground burning when using HRF at 1.5x (from 1024 x 1536) as this model seems to start tapping out somewhere around 2 Megapixels. After some testing, the sweet spot for HRF on a 2 x 3 image is 1.375x (2.0625 Mpxl = 1408 x 2112). The priests of the Temple of Syrinx have assumed control.The High-Res Boost LoRa in Suggested Resources can also help maintain image sharpness when running HRF, but I recommend only using it during HRF runs as it may impact text-2-image results.I went back and reviewed my settings for the model and after a lot of subjective comparison, I'm split between two recommendations:<ol><li>dpm++_3m_sde_gpu + sgm_uniform @ 3.0 CFG &amp; 2.718282 Flow Shift</li><li>er_sde + sgm_uniform @ 6.0 CFG &amp; 2.718282 Flow Shift</li></ol>On average, I got the best results scheduling with sgm_uniform with simple being a good fallback scheduler. Using dpm++_3m_sde without the gpu option produces a significantly different result so if sde_gpu is not available to you as a sampler, fall back to er_sde. The standard flow shift value is 3.0 and, maybe it's just seems kismet, but I enjoyed the results I got with Euler's number. I'm also a nerd who loves irrational numbers.I got bored last night and decided to see if I could merge an Anima model for shits and giggles. I just vibed it out using some models that I really like, and it kind of hit my sweet spot for clarity, prompt adherence, lora compatibility, and overall versatility.Thanks to the creators that I mooched this merge from:<ul><li><a target="_blank" rel="ugc" href="https://civarchive.com/models/2596298/animosity?modelVersionId=2954587">Animosity v2.0 Base</a> by <a target="_blank" rel="ugc" href="https://civarchive.com/user/lonecatone23">lonecatone23</a></li><li><a target="_blank" rel="ugc" href="https://civarchive.com/models/2623419/loxs-haze-project-or-anima">Lox's Haze Project ༄ V1.0 Light</a> by <a target="_blank" rel="ugc" href="https://civarchive.com/user/DrLox">DrLox</a></li><li><a target="_blank" rel="ugc" href="https://civarchive.com/models/2681410/aijalon-anitoon-style-anima-trained-checkpoint">Aijalon Anitoon Style V3.0 (Animus)</a> by <a target="_blank" rel="ugc" href="https://civarchive.com/user/urusan">urusan</a></li><li><a target="_blank" rel="ugc" href="https://civarchive.com/models/2705138/cosmic-grenade-mix-anima?modelVersionId=3038023">Cosmic Grenade Mix (Anima)</a> by <a target="_blank" rel="ugc" href="https://civarchive.com/user/DeskGrenade">DeskGrenade</a></li></ul>I generate most everything at 1024 x 1536 using 3-5 CFG at 24 steps. I don't personally use turbo because it takes away from the model's versatility, but it works just fine all the same. All the showcase images are as-generated without inpainting or upscaling. Though I did iterate a bunch to get the some of the results I wanted.<s>For sampler and scheduler, I recommend using whatever looks good to you. I prefer using deis_2m_ode and bong_tangent, but er_sde or euler with whatever should work fine as well.</s>As far as positive and negative prompt quality tokens, I again recommend using whatever looks good to you. I'm happy with the results without them and have learned that less is more with Anima. So I just use basic modifiers like 'realistic', 'flat shading', 'toon style', etc to shape the output.I consistently hi-res fix my stuff at <s>1.5x</s> 1.375x upscaling using RealESRGAN_x2plus and lanczos downscaling even though it doesn't always need it. I just enjoy spending my time on things.Anyway, that's all there is to it. If I feel cute, I might update it down the road. Enjoy!
