v0.29: I changed a lot of things, v0.29 is very different from v0.27. In short:Maximum details. This version can squeeze every single pixel out of the VAE. E.g. In my setup the file size of output images in webp format are 2x bigger than v0.27, even bigger than some images from qwen-image. (means more info/details, but overcooked, probably?).Increased diversity. Different seeds now can generate very different images. This also improved lighting range, styles and LoRA compatibility.See Update Log section for version info.<hr /><h2 id="rdbt-anima">RDBT [Anima]</h2>Finetuned, then distilled. It delivers faster speed and higher aesthetics with only 12 NFEs, 5x faster than base model (60 NFEs).Sharing merges using this model is not allowed.<hr /><h3 id="usage:">Usage:</h3>Settings:<ul><li>Sampler: "euler_a" "euler" "er_sde". (from smooth to high variance)</li><li>Steps: 8, 12 or 24. Scheduler: simple. Important: training timestamps are fixed. Other inference timestamps might not work.</li><li>CFG scale: 1~2. Cover images are all without CFG (CFG 1). You can enable CFG (CFG &gt;1) if you need higher prompt adherence (e.g. style is too weak).</li></ul>PromptPrefer natural language prompt. Prompt structure: style, subject, action, background.Style is required! This model does not provide a default style. You should always prompt specific style. Or use a style LoRA. I don't like bake a strong style into the model, I prefer having choices. If you don't give the model style conditions, the model will give you the "ultimate AI style" that averaged every style because of dmd2. This is a "feature", not a bug.There are some "rough" trigger words:<ul><li>"digital anime illustration": common 2d anime.</li><li>"digital art", 2d art but not anime, mostly digital art. (not many samples)</li><li>"anime sketch": simplified/unfinished anime drawing</li></ul>Quality tags:You can omit all the quality tags. 1) The quality of training data is higher than "masterpiece". 2) Quality tags have been reinforced during distillation. Thus they don't have noticeable effects.Same as negative tags. If you use cfg, there is no need to dump "score_1, blurry, worst quality, jpeg artifacts, extra arms,... x100 words" in your negative prompt. Those things have been distilled out.<hr /><h3 id="released-models">Released models</h3><a target="_blank" rel="ugc" href="https://civarchive.com/models/2364703">RDBT LoRAs</a>: Released as LoRA.
