# 🆕 What's New in V3

Welcome to Pony-Anime-Cosplay-v3 workflow! Below are the key improvements and updates designed to optimize the whole workflow, improve facial recognition, and more features.

---

## 📈 Refiner
- Added SDXL Refiner for more realism regardless of mode - uses **JuggnernautXL**
- Utilizes **InsightFace** and **FaceID PLUS V2** for facial detection and face swap.
- Uses Tile or Canny CNet for more accuracy - switch between two depending on the refiner output - defaults to Tile.
- Switch between initial generated face (from Pony) or an image input.

⚠️ *Note: Face detection may occasionally fail or detect the wrong face. If results are inconsistent, try different inputs (main and/or face image).*

---

## 🌾 Film Grain Integration
- Uses **VRGameDevGirl** Fast Film Grain (set to 0.02) to add more realistic output.

## ⚙️ Configuration Changes  
> 💡 *These are based on personal preferences. Feel free to adjust them to fit your workflow needs.*

1. ⏭️ Moved *Highres-Fix* to Refiner - it doesn't make sense to put on the first generation.
1. ❌ Disabled *cinematic photography...* Lora.
1. ➕ Added separate seed node to each detailer for more flexibility. I use it for testing purposes but can be useful if you want to regenerate a certain detailer.
1. 🔄 Changed values for each CNet nodes.
1. ➕ Added **Additional Promp** which appends to the end of final prompt. This is already available in the text concat, but due to the node placements, i just added it as a connection to the *6th* concat. This allows us to be more precise, for example, character names if it wasn't added, or other charactre features missed by the tagger.
