Because of the baked VAE, this is the ideal version for onsite use.illustrious-XL v0.1: First illustrious version. i tried to keep the style similar to the pony version, but ultimately wanted better lighting, and more flexible style overall. Will probably keep updating until im happy, but ive switched focus lately to Loras over checkpoints and photos in general. ill get to it eventually.v0.8.1: the better version. this version was supposed to be 0.8 (i have no idea how i uploaded the wrong version. sleepy brain? oops). better results without style loras, but still compliments them very well. still looking for feedback.v0.8: my first (public) pony merge. looking feedback to improve the newer version that’s in the works.Concat Positive Prompt:<pre><code>HDR, 8K, volumetric lighting, dramatic shadows, cinematic lighting, raytraced, Mysterious Shadows, mist, bloom, realistic shading, bloom,</code></pre>Prompt:<pre><code>Prompt lol</code></pre>Neg<pre><code>worst quality, low quality,</code></pre><h3 id="settings-i-use-(feel-free-to-experiment):">Settings i Use (feel free to experiment):</h3><ul><li>sampler: euler_ancestral_cfg_pp</li><li>steps: 20</li><li>size: just use your preferred XL size</li><li>batch count: 4-20 (or 1 if I'm extra impatient)</li><li>cfg scale: 4</li></ul><h3 id="have-feedback-or-requests-let-me-know!">Have feedback or requests? let me know!</h3><h3 id="looking-forward-to-your-reviews!">Looking forward to your reviews!</h3><h3 id="please-consider-to-support-me-so-i-can-upgrade-my-struggling-3060-to-a-40xx"><a target="_blank" rel="ugc" href="https://ko-fi.com/killedmyself">Please consider to support me</a> so i can upgrade my struggling 3060, to a 40xx</h3>btc: bc1qp47qea47q0pku3yvgr04tvwmdr6p9qmfwf6un8eth: 0xf118c3ee5Dc4d86A6C61427969C912DAE648401a

Better Days. [illustrious-XL] [ponyXL] (MERGE)

i wanted to try a slightly different style. however, the focus on strong lighting and volumetrics remain<ul><li>stronger lighting. try things like "mist," or "fog," for some neat results</li><li>in testing, it seems to have a wider color range. more vibrant outputs, unless you prompt accordingly.</li></ul>
