NAI-XL vpred1.0 2d accelerated / iL

NAI-XL vpred1.0 2d acceleratedI am sharing the final outcome of this project. In the previous two merged models, I'm demonstrated that users can generate images with their desired direction by using artist name tags and LoRA merged models.However, the provided two models were insufficient to satisfy everyone, and some artist tags could not be generated properly even though they were adequately trained. The solution to this problem actually lay within the NAI-XL (Noob v-pred) model itself. The merged model's underperformance is due to excessively trimming the base model's IN/OUT layers.After uploading the second model, I repeatedly merged the model I created with a popular v-pred-based model and the original NAI-XL model. As a result, I was able to produce a model that, although its basic generated images remain somewhat raw, is capable of correctly reproducing almost all artist tags.Now, this model can once again restore a wide range of styles as originally intended by the developers of the NAI-XL model. While it may not be aesthetically perfect, it is more than sufficient for you to enjoy and experiment with various artist tags.Lastly, if you still find the provided model unsatisfactory, try using your preferred LoRA at a very low weight (0.1 ~ 0.3). Enjoy!** Do not use this model if you not using artist tags. It will be return low-quality images.NAI-XL_vpred1.0_2dac_final50 Recommend Parameters (reforge)Recommend steps:32Samplers:KL Optimal, SGM Uniformif use non-cfg++ methods; which like EulerCFG Scale : 3.5Using CFG++ methods (which like Euler A CFG++)CFG Scale : 1.25The Scheduler and Sampler should be adjusted appropriately based on the artist name tags used.Model DescriptionThis model has been uploaded to demonstrate the potential of NAI-XL (specifically noob v-pred 1.0) to model merging experts and community users. Additionally, it serves as a simple, experimental model for those who prefer generating 2D-style images using artist tag combinations, similar to NAI.[ v1.0 / style2 / style2_heavy (not release) ]* Please refer to the Gallery below for the model's recommended prompts.Noob, the most powerful Illustrious-based open-source SDXL model, includes over 40,000 artist tags that can control image output. However, despite developers’ various efforts to improve aesthetics—such as adding aesthetic tags like "very awa" and "very aesthetic"—it remains quite challenging to modify the image output to individual user preferences prompting only. This is why most uploaders choose to perform fine-tuning through additional training or precise block merging.However, just as we experienced during the long days of SD 1.5, Noob-based models appear to be fully capable of adjusting the aesthetic range of generated images even with a simple LoRA merge on a checkpoint.On this page, I'm offer a simple LoRA merged model intended to give users an experience akin to a minor copy version of NAI Diffusion 2 or 3.I look forward to more community members attempting these merges and sharing their feedback.style2 (Feb 5)Offer a style2 model that is similar to the original but provides a slightly different experience.Is this version better?-> It's hard to say that it's explicitly better. I believe the sample images should give you a sense of the overall differences between the two models.In some artist tag combinations, v1 might perform better, while in others the new style2 model may feel superior. However, you'll notice a slight improvement in the background and a reduction of the strong noise typically seen in 2D-flat images. More noticeable changes will emerge as you gradually add your preferred LoRAs at lower weights.If you have some time, please scroll down and read the TL; DR section.Merge Recipe of style2Current Model :: Add Difference NoobAI-XL (NAI-XL) V-Pred 1.0 * 0.5 + (Model C - NoobAI-XL (NAI-XL) V-Pred 1.0) * 0.5 -> 173ef090a1after merge, additionally merging this loras:customUdonXL_il_lokr_V5311P:0.1 https://civitai.com/models/1179146?modelVersionId=1326916szcb911-il:0.24 https://civitai.com/models/1205063/or-szcb911-style?modelVersionId=1357045nyalia:0.14 https://civitai.com/models/834822?modelVersionId=934002Model C :: LoRA Merged (from 384df0d35c)TSおじさんの冒険NoobAI-XLVPred10_DoRA_V1:0.3, morin:0.13, jhon:0.15, chwinta_nai3:0.1 - personal trainned or restricting reuploads from external communitynyaliaXL_NBVP1_lokr_V6311P:0.15 https://civitai.com/models/940505/sdxl-artist-style-nyalia?modelVersionId=1357202szcb911-il:0.2 https://civitai.com/models/1205063/or-szcb911-style?modelVersionId=1357045kazutake_hazano:0.2 https://civitai.com/models/1209290/kazutake-hazano-artist-artstyle-or-noobai-xl?modelVersionId=1362000Note: Each individual LoRA model used in the merge has excellent quality.

There isn't any magical model that optimizes everything from 2D to 3D full-range.What you likely need right now isn’t a casual journey through the Checkpoint category, but rather a treasure hunt in the LoRA category.* ac5a09ddd6 is model A, 697047f3c4 is model B. and 384df0d35c is 0.55A + 0.45B merged model.The three models used in this merge might look nearly identical at first glance, but once their artist tags are mixed to some degree, the resulting outputs can be completely different. In particular, when you push the style to the extreme 2D or semi-realistic end, the results can turn out either very appealing or not so much.* 7405ac0382 is dropped model. It consumed the most time during the merging process. While it looked good without any artist tags, a dramatic decline in quality was observed once the artist tags were applied.Most merged models—like the one provided on this page—are tuned to a moderate degree based on the creator’s taste, so in practice, the actual outputs tend to be more or less the same. Ultimately, the best approach is for you to find and combine your own LoRAs.Merged model is simply a means to optimize generation speed. Note: This is not meant to undermine the efforts of model merging experts. In fact, if you don’t use any artist tag combinations or only use one or two you can still generate relatively high-quality images. However, since everyone’s taste differs, it ultimately falls on the user to create a model that suits their own preferences. Alternatively, you can try learning LoRA yourself. Civitai has a simple and excellent Lora Training service, although it has some limitations. Have a good time !
