✅ What’s New in v1.0.16?

This is not just a patch — it's a solid upgrade before the launch of the upcoming v2.0 series.
Version 1.0.16 addresses several issues from v1.0.12 and pushes the model further in quality, adherence, and flexibility.

🧬 Key Improvements:

• ⚡ Better image quality, especially at high resolutions

• 🎯 Stronger prompt adherence — simple prompts work on the first try; complex ones succeed quickly if well-structured

• 👁️ Eye rendering greatly improved at HD+ resolutions

• ✋ Hands more accurate and stable

• 🌄 Improved background generation

• 🎨 More flexible rendering styles — easier to shift aesthetics via prompt

• 💡 Improved lighting and expressiveness (not as dramatic as v2, but a clear step up)

• 😮‍💨 Character expressions are livelier and more emotive

• 🔞 NSFW rendering is more robust than in v1.0.12

🧪 Prompt Simplicity – A Clear Upgrade

All showcase images were generated using only:

masterpiece, best quality, (+ your prompt)

🧼 No negative prompt was needed in almost any example — only used to avoid specific unwanted repetitions in rare cases.
🔍 Of course, you can still add negative prompts to further clean, refine, or enhance the output — they can definitely help create more spectacular results.
🧠 Likewise, while "masterpiece, best quality," was enough to demonstrate the base strength of the model, you’re free to enrich your prompt with detailed keywords and style modifiers to reach visual results on par with more reasoning-heavy models.

This demonstrates:

✅ Clean baseline generation
✅ Excellent default understanding
✅ High prompt adherence, even on first tries

⚙️ Recommended Generation Settings

• 📏 Native resolution: 1024x1408 — faster and highly stable

• 🖼️ All examples: 1152x1536 + Hires.Fix x2.5 → 2820x3840

• 🌀 Sampler: Euler a (Simple) — most stable in testing

• 🔢 Steps:

• 🎚️ CFG (Classifier-Free Guidance): 5 to 7 — recommended range for best balance between detail and coherence

  • 20–25 → for simple prompts

  • 30 → for normal complexity

  • 65 → preferred for ultra-high quality / complex prompts (especially in high res)

The model also performs well with other samplers, but Euler a proved consistently the most reliable.
