    [BSS] - IlLuxura v1.0

    My first handcrafted merge — a carefully engineered blend involving layer-aware control, spatially graded attention, custom VAE integration, and fine-tuned weight adjustments.
    No shortcuts. Just iteration, analysis, and a lot of manual labor.


    🔧 Technical Overview

    • Multi-depth UNet merge logic
    • Attention layers blended by depth for smoother transitions
    • Normalization layers preserved for structural consistency
    • Integrated custom VAE for refined tone and contrast behavior
    • Final merge pass includes a custom-trained LoRA blended at 0.50 strength

    It also pairs especially well with my own custom LoRA Styles — feel free to experiment and explore combinations. You might discover something uniquely yours.

    Very cool to see a checkpoint merge from you! It's fun to play around with.

    Also, try out euler_a_cfg++ with sgm_uniform, it tends to work quite well for illustrated styles. dpmpp_2m is the way to go for more realistic though for sure :)

    Great work! Keep it up, man!
