AniCross Diff IL - Cross-Lineage Difference (Illustrious) is the Single-direction difference variant of the series: NoobAI difference on WAI, built on Wai_Illustrious_ILXL_Real v1.0.

[Recipe] Add-difference merge on UNet only: Wai_Illustrious_ILXL_Real v1.0 + 0.25 x (NoobAI-XL EPS Four-Mix (CyberFix) - Nova Anime XL IL v19.0). VAE and text encoders inherited from Wai_Illustrious_ILXL_Real v1.0.

[Why this direction] WAI supplies high-detail anime rendering, NoobAI supplies thick-paint illustration and strong character fidelity, and Nova Anime is the neutral anime reference they are both measured against. Because the three come from different training lineages, these merges move brush weight, shading model and character likeness - not just colour.

[Series] AniCross IL is a mechanism batch, not an alpha ladder: the same cross-lineage material is combined four ways - single difference (Diff), two stacked differences (Dual), per-block weighting (MBW) and a three-way weighted blend (Blend). Treat the four as four different looks.

[Recommended settings] Euler a, 24-28 steps, CFG 5.0-5.5, 832x1216. Hires fix above 1.25x helps skin and fabric; Danbooru-style tags work well.

[Known limitations] Cross-lineage merges inherit each parent's habits: NoobAI can pull faces toward its own character set, and block-weighted variants can change how text and hands render. Test prompts per model.
