FAQ
Comments (8)
quick question, do you still need to add trigger words if you're using the embeddings?
yes, some models need trigger words due to the Lora's merged in them. They will work without triggers too, but with less effect.
will there be an ultra realism illustrious verison ? :)
Ultra_realistic_Illustrious, sure, if you need it, i will do it đ
@Stable_Yogi Im enjoying ultra realistic, its nice having babes and realism together since it uses less memory. I will say however that babes illus doesnt quite have the same conformity to the prompt (possible skill issues on my part) as babes pony.
So the question is if you did a ultra realistic illus would it be a merger of babesillus/realism illus or something different? I feel like the strength of ultra pony is that prompt adherence and a babe pony -> realism illus refine workflow really did wonders for me (in the way people might want an ultra illus to).
@silverbot01Â Thanks for the feedback. it will be same concept for Ultra illustrious too.
i will make sure that babes illus gets better with each update.
@Stable_Yogi This will be awesome regardless of my comment. The Ultra releases save so much system memory versus chaining together multiple models (Babe start + Realism upscale/refine/detail). ComfyUI loads every model in the chain into system memory and my 32GB gets upset sometimes.
Ultra Realistic Illustrious is live.
