<h2 id="heading-2562">What is Mauve?</h2>Mauve is intended to be semi-realistic or CG-like as its base, so that you can use Loras and embeddings to easily make it photorealistic or anime-ish; it is the best of both worlds. This model is so versatile and can easily generate any awesome arts and images from general or common text prompts. A great artist assistant just like many models in this site. And, just like most models it also has some issues with the hands, which can be easily mitigated with this model's inpainting (download separately) or some embeddings. (I still have other models, for some specific arts, yet to be released. <a rel="ugc" href="https://ko-fi.com/kiddyyep">Your support will go a long way, and a cup of coffee will keep me awake for many nights.</a> Thank you in advance!)This version of Mauve does not include a VAE because the goal is for art versatility, wherein, you can use any VAE you like to produce unique aesthetics. Below are the recommended VAEs that you can use with this model to tweak a unique output.<a rel="ugc" href="https://huggingface.co/hakurei/waifu-diffusion-v1-4/blob/main/vae/kl-f8-anime2.ckpt">kl-f8-anime2 VAE (for anime)</a><a rel="ugc" href="https://huggingface.co/ckpt/anything-v3.0/blob/main/Anything-V3.0.vae.pt">anything VAE aka orangemix VAE (for anime)</a><a rel="ugc" href="https://huggingface.co/NoCrypt/blessed_vae/blob/main/blessed2.vae.pt">blessed VAE (for anime)</a><a rel="ugc" href="https://huggingface.co/stabilityai/sd-vae-ft-mse-original/blob/main/vae-ft-mse-840000-ema-pruned.safetensors">vae-ft-mse-840000-ema-pruned (for realism)</a>Sample images above were created with simple text prompts around default settings. More detailed prompts will produce much better results. As for text prompts, just let your imagination flow. One thing to take note, adding keywords like realistic, realism, photorealism, photorealistic, hyperrealism, hyper-realistic etc., will make the image more real, and not including any word with real on them will make it look anime-ish.<h3 id="heading-2563">Settings:</h3>Sampling Method: Euler (realistic) or Euler A (anime)Sampling Steps: 20 to 30Resolution: 512x512, 512x768, 768x512CFG Scale: 4 to 7<h3 id="heading-2564">Popular Embeddings Used:</h3><a rel="ugc" href="https://civarchive.com/models/7808/easynegative">Easy Negative</a><a rel="ugc" href="https://civarchive.com/models/4629?modelVersionId=5637">Deep Negative</a><a rel="ugc" href="https://civarchive.com/models/5224?modelVersionId=6056">Bad artist Negative embedding</a><a rel="ugc" href="https://civarchive.com/models/11772?modelVersionId=25820">veryBadImageNegative</a><a rel="ugc" href="https://civarchive.com/models/55700?modelVersionId=60095">bad_prompt Negative Embedding</a><a rel="ugc" href="https://civarchive.com/models/56519?modelVersionId=60938">negative_hand Negative Embedding</a><a rel="ugc" href="https://civarchive.com/models/47085?modelVersionId=55199">EnvyBetterHands LoCon</a><a rel="ugc" href="https://civarchive.com/models/58390?modelVersionId=62833">Detail Tweaker LoRA</a><a rel="ugc" href="https://civarchive.com/models/19992?modelVersionId=23741">SXZ Vivid Darkness</a><a rel="ugc" href="https://civarchive.com/models/8765?modelVersionId=10350">Theovercomer8's Contrast Fix</a><h3 id="heading-2565">Limitations:</h3>Do use this model within the boundaries of legalities; do not use it to harm people and entities, or any illegal matters.
