Illustrious NoobAI V1.0

After making a few versions of NoobAI checkpoint, I finally find one that is an upgrade from the Illustrious version V2.0.

In short:

• Both Euler and Euler A can be used as samplers

• Use Euler and low CFG scale (1.5-3) if you want realistic looking image

• Use Euler/Euler and high CFG scale (3-7) if you want 2.5/anime looking image.

If you have the time and interest to know a bit further:

Euler and low CFG scale (1.0) will give you very realistic image, like a photo, and hence you will have less flexible background, pose and lower saturation; CFG scale 2.0 seems to be a good balance between realism and artistic for most of the cases.

You can also pair with my dynamic lighting lora to enhance the lighting/saturation on realistic images, I find the results very satisfying.

On the other hand, Euler/Euler A and normal CFG scale like 4-7 gives you results that is close to Illustrious version V2.0. But again, other loras/character used will affect the degree of realism, so you will have to play around and see what fits you best.

If you find it too troublesome, you can still pair it with my realistic filter lora, so you can control realism with the weight of this lora single handedly.

Illustrious version V2.0

The realism of characters varies vastly, depending on the data of that character; e.g. manga/anime characters will be much less realistic than a 3D game character. I kept the weight of the realistic checkpoint low so the already realistic characters wont become still image, but that also means the manga/anime characters will be still slightly unrealistic, in that case you can pair it with my realistic filter lora which works very well with this v2 ckpt.

Because of the high weight ratio of the v1 ckpt, this v2 ckpt will mostly perform similarly.

Recommendation:

Positive prompt: masterpiece, best quality, realistic

Negative prompt: worst quality,bad quality,bad hands,very displeasing,extra digit,fewer digits,jpeg artifacts,signature,username,reference,mutated,lineup,manga,comic,disembodied,cropped,amputee,bad foreshortening,what,guro,logo,bad anatomy,bad perspective,bad proportions,artistic error,anatomical nonsense,amateur,out of frame,multiple views, text ( copyright name:1),

Sampling method: Euler a, DPM++ 2M karras.

CFG: 6-8

Size: 832x1216

(Feel free to try out other settings, if the results are too 2Dish, you can tune down the weight of the anime lora)
