Welcome to Spectacular! An Illustrious checkpoint that aims at maintaining the character-focus of Illustrious, but take it to other styles and emphasize spectacular results!

This is the Illustration 2D version. Focusing on western style graphics rather than the anime style.

Do not use the Normal scheduler. Use Simple or Beta!

Use euler_a, dpmpp_2m_sde or dpmpp_3m_sde as your sampler.

To use the faster low-step settings, you need to use the DMD2 LoRA. This allows you to use 8 or 16 steps and generate very fast. Remember to generate in 2 passes, either using "Hires fix" in Forge/A1111, or by creating and chaining a second sampler node in ComfyUI. A sample workflow if included in the sample images of the model. Use this as a reference.

Each sample/preview image contains the used workflow. Here's a quick article with simpler more beginner-friendly workflow. This is a recommended starting point.

Recommended Settings

Steps: 24

CFG-scale: 7

Sampler: Euler A

Scheduler: Beta

Recommended Speed Generation Settings - Lightning (low step count settings for faster generations)

The model has lightning LoRA baked in, and as such it works well in low step and CFG counts as well.

Steps: 8

CFG-scale: 2

Sampler: Euler A

Scheduler: Beta
