So, I wanted to see about getting that to you all. This checkpoint will try to maintain that 2D look with a splash of 3D in there. Of course some prompts may pull out a more 3D look; while others may go full 2D....but hopefully that does not happen to often. LoRas will of course affect the look as well; but either way...I hope you all enjoy!!!<h2 id="heading-12426">The Process:</h2> Starting with RealCartoon3D V11(was working on a 12 at the time) I was trying to get a more 2Dish look going. I was doing this because many wanted something that was more 2.5D (The checkpoints used for merging do/did not have restrictions on checkpoint mergers or are able to have different permission when sharing merges). I also baked in the VAE (<a target="_blank" rel="ugc" href="https://huggingface.co/stabilityai/sd-vae-ft-mse-original/resolve/main/vae-ft-mse-840000-ema-pruned.safetensors">vae-ft-mse-840000-ema-pruned</a>). I tried ClearVAE, but it would mess up from time to time (which may have been my computer). I did not want this issue to fall to anyone that downloaded this model, so I did not use that VAE. In the process of the merges, it looks like one of the models used contained Aniverse information. This was not intentional; but as you can see the results are pretty nice. Samael1976 and I talked and decided to allow it to move forward as more of a collaboration. I hope you all enjoy!! Maybe someday we (Samael1976) and I will do a full merge of them and share. :)<h2 id="heading-12427">Prompt Settings:</h2>(These settings are for <a target="_blank" rel="ugc" href="https://github.com/AUTOMATIC1111/stable-diffusion-webui">A1111 )</a>:The below image is the top settings I recommend. I do not use a VAE normally as(<a target="_blank" rel="ugc" href="https://huggingface.co/stabilityai/sd-vae-ft-mse-original/resolve/main/vae-ft-mse-840000-ema-pruned.safetensors">vae-ft-mse-840000-ema-pruned</a>) is baked in.<img src="https://image.civitai.com/xG1nkqKTMzGDvpLrqFT7WA/49089e68-ffb2-44fc-a415-fb587d13f013/width=525/49089e68-ffb2-44fc-a415-fb587d13f013.jpeg" />Below are the normal settings I do run when generating most of my images.<img src="https://image.civitai.com/xG1nkqKTMzGDvpLrqFT7WA/706895f3-8900-4f92-9c29-88d1d1b524fd/width=525/706895f3-8900-4f92-9c29-88d1d1b524fd.jpeg" />Some variation of course happens depending on the desired outcome (I.E. Landscape). I also like to make portrait 512 by 904 as well. I only run batches when I am checking checkpoints or looking for that perfect image. This is normally set to 1Sampling methods DPM++ SDE Karra and DPM++ 2M Karras do well as well.Upscaler is either R-ESRGAN 4x+ or <a target="_blank" rel="ugc" href="https://civarchive.com/models/116225/4x-ultrasharp">4k-UltraSharp</a> for most of my images.The Upscale settings will vary depending on your computer.Would run <a target="_blank" rel="ugc" href="https://github.com/Bing-su/adetailer">ADetailer</a> if subject is in the distance as SD1.5 can sometimes fail at faces with distance people. Be careful if you have blurred subjects in backgrounds; as this can start "enhancing them" and thus mess with the overall look.If you are having problems running A1111 you can change the "webui-user.bat" settings to help (by right clicking and opening in notepad):<ul><li>set COMMANDLINE_ARGS= --xformers</li></ul>If you do not have xformers or cannot install it, put the following instead:<ul><li>set COMMANDLINE_ARGS= --disable-model-loading-ram-optimization --opt-sdp-no-mem-attention</li></ul>To install xformers: <a target="_blank" rel="ugc" href="https://aipromptshome.com/fix-no-module-xformers-stable-diffusion-automatic-1111/">how to install xformers</a><h2 id="heading-10525">Prompt Recommendations:</h2>When it comes to prompts that is really up to you. Here is some advice:<ol><li>Please be careful on the strength you add to LoRas as this can affect the overall look with the checkpoint. Stronger does not always mean better. I normally run 0.4 - 1 strengths depending on the LoRa.</li><li>What is first in your prompt has higher priority.</li><li>Having parathesis increases a priority, but having everything in them is almost as good as typing without them.</li><li>Subtle changes in a prompt (to include punctuation) can change the image</li><li>The seed helps in producing similar images with similar software and settings. It does not guarantee the same image as even a difference in software (I.E. ComfyUI) or hardware can affect it.</li><li>If you want a more cartoon look (at least with this checkpoint) use the following near the front of the prompt: Anime, Cartoon, painted, or comic. This does not guarantee a look depending on the version; but it will lean more that way. This also works for Realistic looks (Realistic, real, etc).</li><li>If you want Safe for work or not nudity to show up then make sure you put the following in your negative prompt: nude, nudity, naked, NSFW, nipples. Of course if you have this in your actual prompt then it will more then likely do it.</li><li>The following is what I normally run in a negative prompt (you can click on easynagative or badhandv4 to get the files):<a target="_blank" rel="ugc" href="https://civarchive.com/models/7808?modelVersionId=9208">easynegative</a>,(<a target="_blank" rel="ugc" href="https://civarchive.com/models/16993?modelVersionId=20068">badhandv4</a>),(bad quality:1.3),(worst quality:1.3),watermark,(blurry),5-funny-looking-fingersNOTE: Badhandv4 is an embedding. So goes in the embedding folder of A1111</li></ol>__________________________________________________________________________________________________<h3 id="heading-12429">License &amp; Use</h3>This model is open access and available to all, with a CreativeML OpenRAIL-M license further specifying rights and usage.<ul><li>1.

RealCartoon - 2.5D

Just improving the overall response and look. Trying to keep it 2.5D (with more 2D faces and eyes within a 3Dish world). Anyway, I hope you all enjoy!!
