M2F Transformation (Illustrious)

A loRA made by transformer25 on CivitAI: https://civitai.com/models/1330314?modelVersionId=1800217

"Generates M2F/TSF cartoon sequences. Trained on synthetic images, it should generate more aesthetic images out of the box than most of the existing LoRAs of this type. As of 3.0 this tends to produce 3-character sequences at typical landscape 3:2 resolution (1216x832) but it works great at 16:9 ratio (1344x768) or ultra widescreen (1536x640) and will produce longer sequences. It can do very nice 2-character ("before after") shots and will even do those in widescreen for some poses (laying down). With enough room it will go up to 5-6 characters with good sequence consistency.Recommended strength: 0.8Tags: gender transformation Optional: magical effects, drinking potion, glowing book etc. It's getting enough of this type of thing now it seems to be able to guess what to do.Negative: people in backgroundbecause it likes reflecting people into every nook that it can. Also if adding magic is too much of a light show you can try these negative tags: yellow eyes, glow above head, mark on chest, magic symbolsor whatever it is that annoys you. These are the ones that annoy me.Post your results! I'd love to see your creations.Version 3 Update 🎉This version has a lot more training on magical props like wands, potions, and mysterious devices. There's also more variety of poses and scenes. Characters take up more space which tends to shorter sequences, typically 3-4 characters in standard landscape with capacity for 2 or 5. It's also a bit stronger than previous versions, I like to run it at 0.8 or 0.85, while previous versions were great at 1.0 strength.Version guide:[1.0] First release, Pony only. Likes to generate 4-5 characters standing and facing forward, with capacity for 3 or 6. Obsolete, pretty much, but very clean and easy to work with if you like the type of image it creates.[1.5] First Illustrious version. Loosened it up a bit so it's easier to get characters who are not standing and facing forward in a line. Widened the variety of characters it can handle by a lot. Supports some magical special effects. Better than 1.0 for practically everything.[2.0] Really opened it up, it's now trained on a lot more concepts and magical effects. Very versatile. Due to the variety though you may need a little negative prompting against magical effects etc that you don't want to pop in.[3.0] Has a lot more training on magical props like wands, potions, and mysterious devices. There's also more variety of poses and scenes. Characters take up more space which tends to shorter sequences, typically 3-4 characters with capacity for 2 or 5. It's also a bit stronger than previous versions, I like to run it at 0.8 or 0.85, while previous versions were great at 1.0 strength. Even more than 2.0, it may just be a bit "much".Future: I wanna see if I can dial back some of the magic noise a bit, it's a bit overboard by now, and I think it's making it harder to get clean images. Also of course I hope to continue to build its understanding of props and stories.Check out the galleries to see what earlier versions can do!Tips:Lora strength 0.8 or 0.85 works pretty well (try 1.0 strength for versions < 3.0). Going lower is more likely to create all female sequences (which can still be fun), potentially more creative sequences, more out of order steps. Going higher can give more masculine starting characters, but also tends to produce longer sequences. At very high levels it will degrade the image.I feel like a low CFG gives the Lora more freedom to work. I like about 4 on most checkpoints.To get the right sequence length I find it works best to count people like "4 people, 2boy, 2girls". Portrait and square mode also tend to generate shorter sequences than landscape.For better or worse, realistic and semi-realistic models are not great at androgyny without help. Illustration models do better.It likes to hallucinate extra figures into the background. Recommend (blurred background) in the prompt and (people in background) in the negative.Weird trick I discovered accidentally: using the Pony 2.0 Lora with Illustrious tends to produce strangely beautiful images. Usually they don't make any sense but occasionally it will produce an actual transformation."
