Welcome back to AIcAI - AnimeHaven✨It's been a long time since the last release mainly because it was hard, very hard, and I was busy doing something else (I made my first mod in unreal engine for the game: StellarBlade and I made a custom video upscaler using TRT in python), but at last... I've done it, my best model so far (I'm so proud of myself).No more tchit-tchat, let's go to the main dish.A new era begins: Awakening Series, the pinnacle of the IllustriousXL 2.0 Base!!!! IMPORTANT NOTE - NEW MODEL !!!AWAKENING V10 USES FP16. This significantly reduces file size without compromising quality. The older models remain FP32 as noted below.🚀 Introducing: AIcAI - AnimeHaven - Awakening V10 🚀Hello everyone, I'm back after a prolonged absence! I'm thrilled to present the next generation of my work: Awakening. This isn't just an update; it's a new series built upon everything learned from the Genesis and Ascension lines, aiming for the absolute peak of artistic polish, nuance, and compositional mastery.Awakening V10 represents a quantum leap in quality over the Ascension series:🎨 Elevated Artistic Direction & Lighting: This is the flagship feature. The model demonstrates a masterful understanding of nuanced lighting—from soft, diffused window light to bright, vibrant outdoor scenes and dramatic moods. The way light interacts with surfaces (skin, food, wet clothing) achieves a new level of realism and artistic appeal.😊 Enhanced Character Nuance & Expression: Characters feel more alive than ever. Poses are more natural, expressions are more subtle and varied, and interactions within scenes are more believable, creating truly captivating portraits and moments.🖼️ Masterful Composition & Detail Integration: Awakening excels at creating complex, layered compositions that feel like professional illustrations. It seamlessly integrates characters, intricate backgrounds, and multiple subjects (including animals and food) into a cohesive and visually stunning whole.🔞 Exceptional NSFW Coherence & Detail: For NSFW generations, this model offers a significant improvement in anatomical consistency, dynamic posing, and believable interactions. It handles complex explicit scenes with a high degree of fidelity and artistic quality.A Note on Precision: Awakening V10 is built on the FP16 architecture. This was a deliberate choice to make the model more accessible with a smaller file size, while intensive tuning ensures that the visual quality is not only preserved but significantly enhanced.Recommended Settings (Generally consistent across all XL models):Dimensions: Start around 1024x1024. Handles rectangular aspect ratios well. Can push to 1536x1536 and even higher with adequate VRAM.Steps: 25 to 50CFG Scale: 4.0 to 7.0Sampler: Euler_a, DPMPP_2M, DPMPP_2M_SDEScheduler: Karras, Sgm_uniformHires. Fix: Still recommended for pushing detail or resolution further.Hires steps: 10-20Denoising strength: 0.3 - 0.7Notes:Being based on XL 2.0, prompt structure might influence results differently than 1.1-based models. Experiment with natural language and detailed descriptions.Excellent for recreating specific character styles or artistic vibes. Use artist names or series titles in prompts for style emulation.
