Updated 01/13/2024These are my first attempts at a merge favoring semi-realism, with an ultimate goal of blending photorealism, anime, and western animation for a style that "softens" reality.This attempt started with <a target="_blank" rel="ugc" href="https://civarchive.com/models/7371?modelVersionId=46846">Rev Animated v1.2.2</a> (Thanks to <a target="_blank" rel="ugc" href="https://civarchive.com/user/s6yx/models">s6yx</a>), at a ratio of 0.80 mixed (through ComfyUI) with <a target="_blank" rel="ugc" href="https://civarchive.com/models/25694/epicrealism">epiCRealism</a> (Thanks to <a target="_blank" rel="ugc" href="https://civarchive.com/user/epinikion/models">epinikion</a>). I then crammed in Style03 from <a target="_blank" rel="ugc" href="https://civarchive.com/models/135903?modelVersionId=149882">anime style box</a> (thanks, <a target="_blank" rel="ugc" href="https://civarchive.com/user/kozue/models">kozue</a> ) to further define the style of animation to build the base of model's style.Usage:Images shown tend to have the following settings:VAE: vae-ft-mse-840000-emaClip Skip: 2Aspect: 512*768 or 512*904 for portraitThe initial pass through ComfyUI is usually:Steps: 40Cfg: 7.0Sampler: dpm++_2m (karras)The upscale is done at 1.5 times using <a target="_blank" rel="ugc" href="https://civarchive.com/models/116225?modelVersionId=125843">4x-Ultrasharp</a>Steps: 25Cfg: 7.0Sampler: dpm++_2m (simple)Denoise: 0.40

PMAM (Phred Made A Merge)

CHANGE LOG12/13/2023 - Incorporated the following Checkpoint into the base model using ComfyUI:<a rel="ugc" href="https://civitai.com/models/82972/rundiffusion-fx-photorealistic">RunDiffusion FX - Photorealistic</a> (created by <a rel="ugc" href="https://civitai.com/user/RunDiffusion">RunDiffusion</a>. Thanks, for all of your efforts), blended at 0.40, which hopefully took care of some of the artifacts that would appear in the previous version (especially when upscaling)
