    Raw²diance V2 Final / Turbo / V1


    Turbo version of Raw²diance-V2

    See Version Box.

    Raw²diance V2 Final

    Raw²diance V2 is an enhancement to V1 in every way. Its truly raw and sometimes rough but delivers pretty images. I wanted it to stand out from the crowd of merges and yes, it does it well.

    Changes to V1:

    Overall fine-tunig. Enhanced landscapes and lights. Better Cars and Bikes. Enhanced liveliness and artistic skills. Its still raw by design.

    Start with: DMD2 4-Step Lora loaded

    Sampler: LCM / CFG=1, Steps=10-16 (10 is sharpest - 16 is smooth & precise)

    Non DMD2 Version since you need to load the DMD2 Lora anyway to tune when using more Loras and it can be used for Lora training. I still recommend DMD2 / LCM / CFG1 / 12 Steps. Use common settings for generation with other samplers. When using DMD2 Lora with other Loras together start at 0.85 for DMD2 and 0.65 for others.

    Rawdiance V1 Final

    Outputs crispy detailed and beautiful images while trying to look as less synthetic as possible. This was my goal from start. Yeah i know - synthetic robots in the samples. Pfff..

    May post a DMD2 version if demanded.

    Have fun and do not forget to post your creations and feedback.


    Tip: You can load the DMD2 Lora with slightly negative weight for fine tuning output. (Necessary for stronger samplers like DPM). Lowering DMD2 weight needs higher CFG.

    When using Character-Loras start with weights about 0.7.

    Note regarding my prompts: I use Invoke, + is used to up weights like (word) = word+ . Stuff in <> are embeddings.

    Feedback, suggestion and/or requests welcome.


    WIP; Will add more samples over time...

    An interesting model, but a merge with your lazyeye_v10Beta2 produces even better results. Let me explain. Rawdiance in itself is somewhat overcooked, providing a bit too high contrast, a bit too much saturation, and a bit exaggerated skin texture with DPM++ samplers (while being perhaps slightly too smooth with Euler). Lazyeye is its direct opposite: it has flat contrast, soft and hazy. When combined with Super Merger at 50% CosineA with Cos MBW (Rawdiance as Model A), the end result is a stable, balanced checkpoint. If you ever release version 2 of Rawdiance, I recommend increasing the amount of Lazyeye to tone down and smoothen Rawdiance.

    Thanks for your comment. You are right, its a bit to strong. Some models in the merge tree had DMD2 and/or Lightning baked in and without knowing the ratio its a guessing game but its easy to fix. Will be addressed in next version. A workaround would be loading the DMD2 lora with negative weight of around 0.1-0.2.

    1st impressions, Raw² V2 RC1, (both FD35A6 and BF84DE) to my eyes have the cloned/drawn hair effect IMV needs work. Skin good, Will test fully later

    Thanks, problem is identified and will be fixed in RC2.

    Edit: Updated to RC2 with bad hair fix.

    @s1nph73940 Me being pedantic, hair frizzyness and flyaways on occasions still slightly too bold. Overall a winner

    @nationalwolftvzz200 well that little wildness is by design. "RAW"...
