XavierNocturne v1.1 Lumen - Update NotesVersion Update: Improved Lighting &amp; Refined AnatomyThank you for all the support, downloads, and feedback. This update focuses on two major areas that users requested the most: lighting quality and anatomical consistency.What’s New<ul><li>Significantly improved light response and volumetric behavior</li><li>Better subsurface scattering and rim light handling</li><li>More stable and natural anatomy (especially hands, torso, and facial structure)</li><li>Cleaner rendering of fur and skin transitions</li><li>Improved overall coherence in complex scenes</li></ul>Recommended Positive Prompt Basetext<pre><code>score_9, score_8_up, score_7_up, masterpiece, best quality, absurdres, very aesthetic,</code></pre>You can freely expand from this base depending on the subject.Lighting Control GuideLumen responds very well to directional and atmospheric lighting prompts. Here’s how to guide the light:Soft / Natural Lighttext<pre><code>soft lighting, diffused light, gentle volumetric lighting</code></pre>Dramatic / Cinematic Lighttext<pre><code>dramatic lighting, strong rim light, volumetric lighting, cinematic lighting</code></pre>Backlight / Rim Lighttext<pre><code>backlit, strong rim light, light from behind, glowing edges</code></pre>Side Lighttext<pre><code>side lighting, light from the left, light from the right, dramatic side light</code></pre>Top / Overhead Lighttext<pre><code>overhead lighting, light from above, god rays</code></pre>Warm vs Cool<ul><li>Warm: warm lighting, golden hour, soft orange light</li><li>Cool: cool lighting, blue hour, moonlight</li></ul>Combining volumetric lighting + rim light usually gives the most cinematic results.Recommended Negative Prompttext<pre><code>score_4, score_5, score_6, low quality, worst quality, bad anatomy, bad hands, missing fingers, extra digits, mutated hands, poorly drawn face, blurry, jpeg artifacts, text, watermark, logo, censored, extra limbs, deformed, ugly</code></pre>Recommended Settings<ul><li>Sampler: DPM++ 2M SDE or Euler a</li><li>Scheduler: Karras , normal , beta</li><li>Steps: 28–32</li><li>CFG Scale: 2.8 – 3.5</li><li>Clip Skip: 2</li><li>Resolution: 832×1216 / 1024×1024 / 1216×832 (or higher with upscale)</li></ul>Recommended Settings for CivitAi generator. Sampler: Euler a / DPM++ 2M SDE. Steps: 25–35. CFG: 3.5–5.5. Clip Skip: 2Hires.fix Denoise: 0.3– 0.5. Hires.fix: 1.3–1.5 + R-ESRGAN 4x+ Anime6B, RemacriFree_2U IntegrationLumen works very well with Free_2U (FreeU v2). It improves structure, sharpness, and overall coherence without needing extra steps.Recommended Starting Settings (Balanced)Parameter Value Description b1 1.2 Backbone scale (Stage 1) – controls overall structure and stability b2 1.35 Backbone scale (Stage 2) – affects finer details and contrast s1 0.90 Skip scale (Stage 1) – reduces low-frequency noise in early blocks s2 0.20 Skip scale (Stage 2) – cleans up high-frequency artifactsAlternative PresetsMild (safer, less risk of oversharpening):<ul><li>b1: 1.1</li><li>b2: 1.25</li><li>s1: 0.95</li><li>s2: 0.30</li></ul>Strong (more detail &amp; punch):<ul><li>b1: 1.3</li><li>b2: 1.45</li><li>s1: 0.85</li><li>s2: 0.15</li></ul>Tips<ul><li>Start with the Balanced preset.</li><li>If you notice halos, crunchy edges, or over-sharpened fur/skin — lower b1 and b2 first.</li><li>s2 has a strong effect on fine detail cleanliness. Lower values = cleaner but can sometimes lose softness.</li><li>Free_2U pairs especially well with the improved lighting and anatomy of this version.</li></ul>Post-Processing Tips for a Cinematic LookFor a more film-like and polished result, try this combination after generation:<ol><li>Image Sharpen - light to medium strength (avoid over-sharpening)</li><li>Contrast Fix - subtle increase for better depth</li><li>Image Film Grain - low to medium amount for a natural cinematic texture</li></ol>This trio helps the image feel less “digital” and more like a still from a movie.Thank you again for downloading, testing, and supporting XavierNocturne.
