( Not my Model )

Version 1.5

Welcome to version 1.5, created with the aim of smoothing out issues found in 1.0 after some use. I've been using this version for about a week, and I've been much happier with it. I've replaced a couple of checkpoints in the mix-up and used the same reverse-DARE method to blend everything together.

My current technique is to generate at 768 x 1152 then hi-res fix at 2x, lanczos downscale back to 768, hi-res fix again at 2x, then 1.5x upscale with Ultimate SD Upscaler using 4x 2304 x 864 tiles. CFG 3.0 and 25 steps. It changes week to week, but I've settled in that the best two upscale models to use are either Remacri or 4x_animesharp. Everything else generates too much noise, imo.

Also back to using deis_ode_2m with Beta57 scheduler (see: RES4LYF ) despite the images used in the showcase.
