No.02 was created through a careful merge of SEMImergeij IL5 and Ilijelle 3, blending the best of both models. A VAE is baked in, finely tuned to support the model’s soft rendering and natural texture balance. Because of this integration, using an additional VAE is not recommended, as it may disrupt the model’s delicate visual tone. Technical Profile Tested Resolutions: Starts strong at 832×1216 px, scales reliably up to 1000 ×1600 px and beyond without distortion. She retains natural proportions, contour, and pose stability even at high resolutions. Upscaling Behavior: At around 1000×1600 px she reveals more nuanced detail and depth. Fingers, hands, and facial structure remain well-rendered, avoiding common instability issues. Sampler Strategy: Particularly responsive to Euler a. Switching the Hires Sampler mid-process (e.g., from UniPC to Euler a) can yield unexpectedly balanced results ~ soft yet defined, expressive but clean. ✦ Prompting Approach: Quality & Control Positive Prompt (Quality Focus): masterpiece, detailed_eyes, high_quality, best_quality, highres, subject_focus, depth_of_field → This combination reinforces clarity and structure without oversaturating the image. Tags like depth_of_field and subject_focus enhance visual weight and clarity of presence. Model page: https://civitai.com/models/1587181?modelVersionId=1796829
