Like, React, Follow, and all that stuff.Changelog..BAKED-VAE v0.3.4.1: experimental version.i have been enjoying it, so just thought i would push and let everyone try it as well. i still think, overall, version 0.2 is better. but for strong, dramatic lighting, give this one a try!better backgrounds. in general i have noticed the backgrounds having a bit more detail.lighting behaves a little different. more dramatic, without the aid of extra networks.negative thingsBackground details can sometimes work against you if your environment is meant to be simple. Prompting specific background elements can help, but as always, avoid overdoing it. If you want a simple background, make sure to explicitly say so in your prompt—don’t leave it up to chance...BAKED-VAE v0.2: this version has a slight different style. however, the core focus is still lighting. overall, i have noticed an increase in vibrance in generations, as well as improved lighting...BAKED-VAE v0.1: i baked a VAE in to make it better for onsite generation, and local gen as well (for those who dont load a VAE separately). in general, lighting and colors are noticeably better! 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:HDR, 8K, volumetric lighting, dramatic shadows, cinematic lighting, raytraced, Mysterious Shadows, mist, bloom, realistic shading, bloom,Prompt:Prompt lolNegworst quality, low quality,Settings i Use (feel free to experiment):sampler: euler_ancestral_cfg_ppsteps: 20size: just use your preferred XL sizebatch count: 4-20 (or 1 if I'm extra impatient)cfg scale: 4Have feedback or requests? let me know!Looking forward to your reviews!Please consider to support me so i can upgrade my struggling 3060, to a 40xxbtc: bc1qp47qea47q0pku3yvgr04tvwmdr6p9qmfwf6un8eth: 0xf118c3ee5Dc4d86A6C61427969C912DAE648401a
