This is a ❤️ merge of many awesome 🫶 models with intent to create a model that is good GREAT for AI 🎨🖌️Art, Illustration (Anime💦🫠) and ... 📸Photography.

⚡SDXL-Lightning version works BEST with EXACTLY 8 sampling steps at CFG scale 1 and with HEUNPP2 sampler + SGM_UNIFORM scheduler !!! (also EULER + do your own tests...)

All authors of used resources (at the moment of this model creation) stated that we can use and SHARE their work (models) as merged models. And for that I'm very grateful to all of them! 😊💖

The RedOlives v3.0 used resources:

✨ Artium: https://civarchive.com/models/216439/artium?modelVersionId=277071
✨ DreamShaper XL: https://civarchive.com/models/112902/dreamshaper-xl?modelVersionId=351306
✨ Juggernaut XL: https://civarchive.com/models/133005/juggernaut-xl?modelVersionId=348913

✨ SDXL Unstable Diffusers: https://civarchive.com/models/84040/sdxl-unstable-diffusers-yamermix?modelVersionId=309729

🛠️ The selection of merged models in RedOlives v3.0 and v2.0 is somewhat different, so test them both - because they are producing slightly different results!

Generation: for simple images I'm using 16-24 steps and CFG 4.5 - 7.5, but for complex ones - 34-50 steps.

As you can see from the list all used models were selected exactly for the purpose stated in the beginning: Art, Illustration and Photorealism. I hope you will be able to produce some great imagery with it. Have Fun!
