    Compared to V1, I found that the V2 has:

    - weaker, less detailed backgrounds

    - stronger default style at the cost of weaker adherence to style prompts (must bump CFG/weights to make it draw 2D images unaffected by pseudo-3D)

    - less vibrant/contrast compared to V1

    If I may suggest, would you consider making another merge without any photorealistic checkpoints in the mix (e.g. bigLove)? I suggest using the following checkpoints in the merge:

    For Animagine:

    Animagine 4.0 or maybe

    knkKirimagineAnimagine_v10 as more stable (or both): KNK Kirimagine (Animagine v4) - v1.0 | Stable Diffusion XL Checkpoint | Civitai

    For Pony:

    4th Tail 0.5 for diversity (big Pony finetune) 4th tail (anime/hentai) - 0.5.0

    For Illustrious:

    RouWei 0.7 EPS for diversity RouWei - v0.7 epsilon | Illustrious

    WAI to stabilize output WAI-NSFW-illustrious-SDXL - v10.0 | Illustrious

    Hi, please try the new V3 version and leave a comment!

    civit77899Feb 23, 2025

    @voider Downloaded already, first results look encouraging; it clearly beats the V2 already. I will try some more and post a few pictures and a short review tonight.

    [TLDR: V1.0: Better than 2.0 Imo. V1.0 has crazy good LoRA absorption and a nice fluid base style.]

    This merge is simply insane. It absorbs even the most over/underbaked LoRAs effortlessly, adheres to and blends artist tags perfectly, and stages aesthetically pleasing compositions better than most Illustrious merges here. The only other model that comes to mind for this level of ease of prompt-to-composition adherence is "Mistoon Cube' (Though Mistoon Cube is fairly locked in its style).
    As for V2.0, I find its LoRA absorption worse than V1.0. That's not to say it's "bad", as it's on par with most other models, but that V1.0 is just that much better when compared (may be personal preferences). Sure, you can get good LoRA results with base Illustrius models (vanilla "illustrious" and "RouWei), but you usually sacrifice a base style for more LoRA fluidity. With Chimera, you get the best of both a base and a styled model.
    I can't wait to see where this goes with V3.0 and beyond.

    Hi, thanks for the comment!

    Alas I'm stuck on the merge pony with anything. It just doesn't want to work.

    The answer to why v2 is worse is very simple - the admixture of a realistic big love model, I did it for nothing.
