Version 1.5:Regretfully, I didn't get proper permissions to some of the resources used in Version 1.0. The original creators were very gracious about it, but I have decided to take the model off the site and uploaded this alternative version instead. Changed the merge to use <a target="_blank" rel="ugc" href="https://civarchive.com/models/1025051/illustrij">Illustrij - v17</a> by @reijlita instead of EVO.  Added <a rel="ugc" href="https://civarchive.com/models/1786270/dmd2-lighting8stepcfg15">dmd2-lighting8step_cfg1.5</a> by @871587665 to speed up the generation on my slow system.  Overall, there should be a noticeable improvement in textures, composition, and speed.New Settings:Steps: 8CFG: 1.5Sampler: Euler aScheduler: exponentialVersion 1.0:A merge that is meant to generate semirealistic images with nice aesthetic and composition. Example images did not use Hi-res fix, refiner, or Adetailer because my machine is a potato. Feel free to provide feedback on the look of the model.
