I've been working with model bending. Trying to see what I can get out of them. I said to myself "Why Not?", which got me thinking... WAI Not? 🤔 I took the ever popular <a target="_blank" rel="ugc" href="https://civarchive.com/models/827184/wai-illustrious-sdxl">wai-illustrious-sdxl </a>and with a DARE merger back onto the base model, fine tune, and block adjustment, I wound up with this:<h3 id="wai_not">WAI_Not?</h3>WAI_not focuses on clarity and details as well as structure. I tweaked the lower out blocks as well as fine tuned the mids, then used an Arthemy model tuner to get the rest. The Model, Clip, &amp; VAE are all modifed from the base model, so use it as a whole in a checkpoint if possible. <h3 id="settings:">Settings:</h3><ul><li>Dies/Beta</li><li>cfg around 5</li><li>40 steps</li><li>I've noticed that quality modifiers make a drastic impact on WAI in general. Use professional, masterpiece, absurdres, 8k</li><li>Certain LoRAs or settings make the skin shiny. Negative prompting it takes care of it </li></ul> Please give me feedback. This is only my second checkpoint, so let me know what I can adjust , what is good, or what doesn't work.
