I was still learning this stuff, but wanted to create a checkpoint to do what I wanted it to do when prompted with a look I enjoyed. Some goals for the checkpoint (updated as time went on):<ul><li>1. Variety in humans (I.E. African, European, Asian, etc). I did not want it just producing the same look I saw everywhere.</li><li>2. Produce a cartoon look with a realistic touch</li><li>3. Do well with LoRAs. (because this is where the customization really happens)</li></ul>The mission was/is to attempt to get this checkpoint to a point where it will do well on first attempt or second attempt with prompts (my computer is just a gaming laptop that gets really hot when doing things like this lol...already kill the battery once).I have learned a lot in the process and even started other checkpoints (RealCartoon-Anime, Realistic, Pixar, and 2.5D) to give a more focused variation. This checkpoint is the basis for all of them and gets a merge in from time to time to them. This one though will always be my main one though....even though that PIXAR one has a really nice look :PI hope you all enjoy it! Please review and share your images. I very much appreciate the support with the downloads and feedback (THANK YOU ALL). Never thought it would get this much attention.<h2 id="the-creation-process:-ey9dsuk2v">The Creation Process:</h2> The starting checkpoints for merging were a couple of top ones during May of 2023 (The checkpoints do/did not have restrictions on checkpoint mergers). I also baked in the VAE (<a target="_blank" rel="ugc" href="https://huggingface.co/stabilityai/sd-vae-ft-mse-original/resolve/main/vae-ft-mse-840000-ema-pruned.safetensors">vae-ft-mse-840000-ema-pruned</a>). I tried ClearVAE (which does some nice results, but it would mess up from time to time (which may have been my computer). I did not want this issue to fall to anyone that downloaded this model, so I did not use that VAE. Sadly, I did not have the resources to train from scratch; but found that many people would just train off these top checkpoints anyway. As time moved on, I would try to find checkpoints that had a look or cool backdrop (or odd result sometimes) that would help the overall look (again avoiding those that had restrictions with merging, as I do not want to mess up anyone's work or get lost in licensing). One issue that would always seem to show up was hands being messed up. They just did not come out right (as many checkpoints seemed to have a problem with in SD 1.5); but as I kept moving forward in merging, the hands seemed to get better. I would then look for LoRas to influence the look and style. These LoRas were not to take over the checkpoint but help mold it per say. As I wanted the user to have control of this. Since that is the point of LoRas.Overall, this checkpoint moved up in versions quickly as it got figured out. Eventually it started to really go where I wanted with Version 3.0, 3.1, and then of course Version 4 (slowing down a bit in the updates as well). I still like the older versions; and these older versions are what influenced the other RealCartoon checkpoints. As the look for this primary one got figured out.<h2 id="prompt-settings:-a95zr9a0p">Prompt Settings:</h2>(These settings are for <a target="_blank" rel="ugc" href="https://github.com/AUTOMATIC1111/stable-diffusion-webui">A1111 )</a>:The below image is the top settings I recommend. I do not use a VAE normally as(<a target="_blank" rel="ugc" href="https://huggingface.co/stabilityai/sd-vae-ft-mse-original/resolve/main/vae-ft-mse-840000-ema-pruned.safetensors">vae-ft-mse-840000-ema-pruned</a>) is baked in.<img src="https://image.civitai.com/xG1nkqKTMzGDvpLrqFT7WA/49089e68-ffb2-44fc-a415-fb587d13f013/width=525/49089e68-ffb2-44fc-a415-fb587d13f013.jpeg" />Below are the normal settings I do run when generating most of my images.<img src="https://image.civitai.com/xG1nkqKTMzGDvpLrqFT7WA/706895f3-8900-4f92-9c29-88d1d1b524fd/width=525/706895f3-8900-4f92-9c29-88d1d1b524fd.jpeg" />Some variation of course happens depending on the desired outcome (I.E. Landscape). I also like to make portrait 512 by 904 as well. I only run batches when I am checking checkpoints or looking for that perfect image. This is normally set to 1Sampling method I primarily use is Euler a, but DPM++ SDE Karra and DPM++ 2M Karras do well as well.A newer version of the Euler sampler (Advanced Euler by licyk) - <a target="_blank" rel="ugc" href="https://github.com/licyk/advanced_euler_sampler_extension">https://github.com/licyk/advanced_euler_sampler_extension</a><ul><li>This one does better on hands</li><li>Normally produces images faster</li></ul>Upscaler is either R-ESRGAN 4x+ or <a target="_blank" rel="ugc" href="https://civarchive.com/models/116225/4x-ultrasharp">4k-UltraSharp</a> for most of my images.The Upscale settings will vary depending on your computer.Would run <a target="_blank" rel="ugc" href="https://github.com/Bing-su/adetailer">ADetailer</a> if subject is in the distance as SD1.5 can sometimes fail at faces with distance people. Be careful if you have blurred subjects in backgrounds; as this can start "enhancing them" and thus mess with the overall look.If you are having problems running A1111 you can change the "webui-user.bat" settings to help (by right clicking and opening in notepad):<ul><li>set COMMANDLINE_ARGS= --xformers</li></ul>If you do not have xformers or cannot install it, put the following instead:<ul><li>set COMMANDLINE_ARGS= --disable-model-loading-ram-optimization --opt-sdp-no-mem-attention</li></ul>To install xformers: <a target="_blank" rel="ugc" href="https://aipromptshome.com/fix-no-module-xformers-stable-diffusion-automatic-1111/">how to install xformers</a><h2 id="prompt-recommendations:-ely891uk0">Prompt Recommendations:</h2>When it comes to prompts that is really up to you. Here is some advice:<ol><li>Please be careful on the strength you add to LoRas as this can affect the overall look with the checkpoint. Stronger does not always mean better. I normally run 0.4 - 1 strengths depending on the LoRa.</li><li>What is first in your prompt has higher priority.</li><li>Having parathesis increases a priority, but having everything in them is almost as good as typing without them.</li><li>Subtle changes in a prompt (to include punctuation) can change the image</li><li>The seed helps in producing similar images with similar software and settings. It does not guarantee the same image as even a difference in software (I.E. ComfyUI) or hardware can affect it.</li><li>If you want a more cartoon look (at least with this checkpoint) use the following near the front of the prompt: Anime, Cartoon, painted, or comic. This does not guarantee a look depending on the version; but it will lean more that way. This also works for Realistic looks (Realistic, real, etc).</li><li>If you want Safe for work or not nudity to show up then make sure you put the following in your negative prompt: nude, nudity, naked, NSFW, nipples. Of course if you have this in your actual prompt then it will more then likely do it.</li><li>The following is what I normally run in a negative prompt (you can click on easynagative or badhandv4 to get the files):<a target="_blank" rel="ugc" href="https://civarchive.com/models/7808?modelVersionId=9208">easynegative</a>,(<a target="_blank" rel="ugc" href="https://civarchive.com/models/16993?modelVersionId=20068">badhandv4</a>),(bad quality:1.3),(worst quality:1.3),watermark,(blurry),5-funny-looking-fingersNOTE: Badhandv4 is an embedding. So goes in the embedding folder of A1111</li></ol><h2 id="why-so-many-versions:-770m18pja">Why So Many Versions:</h2>Because I wanted to share all the results that I felt reached a desired outcome.

RealCartoon3D

So, I had a bit of time and really wanted to play around with my main RealCartoon3D checkpoint. I still love the way my primary checkpoint that started it all runs prompts and updating it is getting to be a really picky process lol; but I really enjoyed the outputs and figured I would share it with you all as version 18. I hope you all enjoy V18 as it is more likely the last one for awhile.
