v1.5: Seele 2.1 Chadmix perpendicular added. Better high resolution performance than other combinations I've tried, less exaggerated contrast than v1.4 given same prompts, more stable overall. This will probably be the last version unless I get around to refining Chadmix's dataset and training settings. v1.4: LS Tiro XL 3.0 &amp; 2.0 merged 70/30, then Chadmix perpendicular added onto that, then OUT5 &amp; OUT6 blocks set to 100% LS Tiro XL 3.0.v1.3: Block merge only Chadmix and ΣΙΗ, plus <a target="_blank" rel="ugc" href="https://civarchive.com/models/1254035/sih?modelVersionId=1413780">ŞİH's</a> clip partially merged back with NoobAI 1.0's, using trial and error and some guidance from Grok.If you think your gens are a little too contrasty try chiaroscuro in the negatives.I block-merged my favorite models <a target="_blank" rel="ugc" href="https://civarchive.com/models/1068866/chadmix-finetune-extract-for-noobai-vpred-10">Chadmix </a>and <a target="_blank" rel="ugc" href="https://civarchive.com/models/1217645/sih">ΣΙΗ </a>because only base Noob and Chadmix (which has a relatively small training set) were consistently reproducing some visual effects I was trying to prompt, specifically ass ripple. And I tried to blend in some of <a target="_blank" rel="ugc" href="https://civarchive.com/models/920709/cat-tower-noobai-xl-checkpoint?modelVersionId=1443338">Cat Tower's</a> color balance and contrast, and merged <a target="_blank" rel="ugc" href="https://civarchive.com/models/994653?modelVersionId=1464463">Wa </a>which is a generally high quality model. I isolated blocks OUT0 and OUT1 as responsible for this effect, and janked together a blend trying to lean more towards ΣΙΗ's nice backgrounds. The results seem pretty good to me.I recommend my <a target="_blank" rel="ugc" href="https://civarchive.com/models/915440?modelVersionId=1200214">Chiaroscuro </a>lora for many but not all gens with this model. At low power it punches up contrast a little bit, at low to 1 power it helps with dark scenes. And if your gigachad gens aren't coming out so hot with the base model, loading Chadmix No Itercomp version at 0.15-0.3 power should help out.
