Delta Mix 2.5D 3.8B

Experimental 2.5D branch based on 3.8B.

The goal is to transfer the frame density, detail, and readability of flat versions into a more volumetric pseudo-3D style: soft lighting, material, and volume without heavy blurring or loss of density.

The model is calmer in contrast and color than classic flat checkpoints — this is a trait of both the 3.8B base and the donors used. Brightness and hard contrast are harder to achieve than volume and material.

Recommended settings

• Main pass: 30–40 steps, dpmpp_2m / sgm_uniform or euler_ancestral / simple, CFG ≈ 4.5

• Refine: 15–20 steps, dpmpp_2m / sgm_uniform, CFG 2.5–3.5 (denoise 0.25–0.45)

Suitable for scenes where lighting, volume, and frame density matter. For maximum brightness and contrast, combine with appropriate LoRAs or adjust further.

Prompt - 3D, masterpiece, best quality, ultra detailed, absurdres, sharp focus, intricate details, cinematic dramatic lighting, strong chiaroscuro,
