<h2 id="heading-63">Welcome!</h2>Thanks for dropping by!  This is my first merge that I made while trying to find something that was a notch or two away from photorealistic.  I have a couple other versions that were a little closer to 2.5D style that I may releases down the road if there's interest.  Overall the merge is a softer, pastel-ish kind of vibe that can produce good results with or without clothing.  It's also surprisingly under-control, likely due to optimizations made in its parent (and grandparent) checkpoints. All sample images were generated with no LoRA or TI in the positive prompt, and only using BadDream and UnrealisticDream in the negative.  They do have Adetailer and Hires.fix turned on.  Faces still generally look decent without Adetailer, but the eyes have a tendency to be more pastel tones.  My usual settings in the screenshot below.  I'll try to post some samples with some of the other ingredients I usually add to give you an idea of what is possible. The 840000-ema VAE is baked in to this merge. <h2 id="heading-64">My Usual Settings / Other Tested Options</h2>Sampler - DPM++ 2M SDE Karras / Restart / Euler ASteps - 30--50 (30 for fast gens to test ideas, 50 for things I may save/post)Resolution - 512x896, 512x768 Hires.fix:Upscaler - Ultramix_balanced, 4x_UltrasharpSteps - 15 or 20Denoise - .3-.4Upscale by - 1.5 - 2.0 <h3 id="heading-65">Special thanks to <a target="_blank" rel="ugc" href="https://civarchive.com/user/frizzante">Frizzante </a>and <a target="_blank" rel="ugc" href="https://civarchive.com/user/kaylazy">kaylazy </a>for the wonderful work they've done on their models, and the inspiration!</h3>

Been Real Lazy (Realistic)

Folded in a bit of REAL MINT - THEOS, epi_noiseoffset, and epiCRealLife Enhancer. Resulting in more face variation, better shadows/darkness, overall less pastel.
