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)

I was on a Discord server and some folks were enthusiastic about an image. When asked what model was being used, the creator of the image said <a rel="ugc" href="https://civitai.com/models/6260/cyriousmix">CyriousMix</a>. After trying it out and then seeing how it blended my PMAM 1.2, I decided to fold it in.PMAM v1.3 takes the v1.2 and merges it with <a rel="ugc" href="https://civitai.com/models/6260/cyriousmix">CyriousMix</a> 1.4 (all kudos to <a rel="ugc" href="https://civitai.com/user/Cyria">Cyria!</a>) through ComfyUI at a ratio of 0.76. I also folded in a <a rel="ugc" href="https://civitai.com/models/153562/detail-slider-lora">detail slider LoRA</a> (Check <a rel="ugc" href="https://civitai.com/models/153562/detail-slider-lora">ostris</a> out for a plethora of slider LoRA, and some great checkpoints as well, in SD1.5 and SDXL!)"if I have seen further [than others], it is by standing on the shoulders of giants." - Isaac Newton
