    Hey friends~๐Ÿ’›

    Itโ€™s no secret by nowโ€ฆ I love merging checkpoints.

    Designing characters has always felt natural to me ~ whether in games, drawings, or dreams ~ so it was only a matter of time (and GPU ๐Ÿซฃ) until I dove into crafting my own models.

    With SEMImergeij, I set out to create more than a style ~ I wanted a presence.

    A character with a soul, a face that tells stories, and a vibe that adapts to her world. Whether sheโ€™s framed by grungy textures, retro light, or natureโ€™s calm ~ she remains her. Fluid in setting, yet always true to herself.

    After V3, I received thoughtful feedback around representation and diversity ~ something I care deeply about. V4 leaned into that diversity beautifully, but in the process, she began to drift from her original self. With V5, Iโ€™ve brought her back ~ still open to many shapes and stories, but with her essence intact.

    A familiar face. A quiet strength. A creative companion for many worlds.

    Thanks so much for being here.

    Stay creative, stay curious โ™ก

    ~ Reij ๐Ÿ’–

    Semimergeij Illustrious V3

    The main changes in V3 were to be able to use the model without negative prompt, as well as to keep the style and colors at CFG 1 to enable faster image processing. From 20 steps the model can so be used with CFG 1. I would recommend an adetailer or facefix for further distances. The resolution for image generation starts as usual at 1024*1024, but the model can also be used for larger images. Visually, V3 is more back to the roots, just galloping back onto the pony: it is more based on the look of the pony version ~ a mix of art with drawn contours including a semi-realistic filling.

    As a fan of playing with light and shadow, I love setting individual highlights and bringing certain accents into the light. V3 is therefore also based on shadow and light details to enable more play here.

    Semimergeij Illustrious V2

    a tinybit more details and extras ~ โ™ฅ

    In addition to the included models, semimergeij V2 includes Loras that I trained specifically for this merge to allow for warmer, softer light with the associated softer tones despite maintaining dynamic colors. In addition, details are understood differently than in the previous version.

    Please let me know if u like the direction and how we can develop Semimergeij further.

    I'm looking forward to ur results and hope u have a lot of fun being creative.

    Semimergeij Illustrious V1

    hey guys,

    after starting with IL, I felt in love with the closeness to the prompt, depictions of the hands, expressions, motion and colors. especially because I like to create portraits, but also have my NSFW moments, the faces and bodies are always particularly close to my heart. so I made an effort to tinker SEMImergeij as an IL version. maybe u want to ride the pony illustrious? ๐Ÿ˜…

    โœจsetting examples:

    • Clip skip 2

    • Sampling method: Euler a

    • Sampling steps: 25+

    • CFG Scale: +-6

    • resolution: 1040x1510 / 832x1216

    • ADetailer for further distance recommended

    With V9 I would like to return a bit to the semi realism touch. With a view to my love for comics, I would like to present โ€œV9โ€ to you.

    semimergeij - soft and silky within, hard rendered - wants to grow into a digital art style with a semi-realistic 3d look in a drawn shell with a fantasy anime-semireal-inspired character design.

    I am grateful for your feedback and am really looking forward to seeing your creations!

    For show case image style I would recommend using an ADetailer.

    ADeailer positive prompt: PonyScores,

    ADetailer negative prompt: PonyScores,

    If u wanna keep the style of the showcase images u can keep writing 'PonyScores' in positive and negative prompt (+ in ADetailer prompt if u like to)

    if u wanna skip ADetailer I would recoomend using scores but for fullbody I would recommend using it anyway.

    here are some examples with scores:

    In case u are a comic fan as I am and would like to generate comic pages, I would recommend to write"letters, text, watermarks, numbers" and so on in the negative prompt to avoid random texts

    examples how to bake showcase inspired images of V9 without ADetailer and hires / the style is just similar

    without scores, just with "PonyScores"

    In case u wanna scip Adetailer, Hires and scores I have tried to find a prompt description of the style based on the showcase images.

    prompt parts baked with:

    1. PonyScores,

    2. soft, beauty, harmonious, face focus, smooth eyes, soft skin, oily skin, glossy skin, and semi-realistic, round face, luminous sheen, porcelain-like effect, slight gradients, depth, glowing effect, three-dimensional feel, front studio light, mat eyes, warm light,

    understands the model text or can someone recommend a decoder if the model is compatible

    Apr 10, 2025

    I haven't used a decoder yet, so I'm not familiar with it. In principle, many IL models can also be used with text, but the prompt proximity is more likely to be provided in tag form. Another idea I'd like to consider is entering your text into chatgpt, for example, and having it converted into tag form. :)

    @fjallย To be honest, I used to enjoy writing novels too ^^ The transition took a while for me, too, but now I love it. Sometimes it's just exciting, like writing down the first four words that come to mind and seeing what happens ^^ A bit experimental, but sometimes I like to let the model surprise me. Have fun trying it out :)

    I liked this model, i've been using it for quite a while since it came out because it caught my attention, and I can say it works pretty well with the Loras usually like to use.

    It responds really well to Loras that aim to create more realistic images.

    It might have some weaknesses, but Iโ€™ve managed to work around them.

    Thanks for the work put into this model!

    :)

    one question, if i'm to use V5 with A1111, what Hi-res specs would be necessary? (denoise, hi-res steps, and upscaler model?)

    reijlita

    Apr 18, 2025ยท 1 reaction

    hey โ˜บ i switched from A1111 to forge, but I think the settings are similar.

    for local image generation my hires settings are mostly:

    โ€ขupscale x2 or 1.5

    โ€ขupscaler: Remacri & nmkdSiaxCX_200k (https://civitai.com/models/147641/nmkd-siax-cx)

    โ€ขI usually keep denoising low (max 0.2) and also hires CFG 1-2

    โ€ขhires steps 10-20

    NightKillers101Apr 19, 2025ยท 1 reaction

    @reijlitaย thank you for the info (for A1111, hi-res doesn't have a cfg scaler, think thats Forge only, i haven't used forge due to it giving me a bluescreen of death, even though i use a 4060TI with 16Gb Vram and a 9700X cpu, so i have stuck with A1111 for a long while now).

    @reijlitaย sure thing, i'm even trying your ANIrenijl model with the same setting you suggest, or should i be using ultrasharp for that model?

    @NightKillers101ย upscaler are a matter of taste^^ Im using Remacri & nmkdSiaxCX_200k for all models โ˜บ

    Another alternative option for hires would be the onsite setting, which I use because here I keep the CFG identical to the one selected for normal image creation:

    upscale x 1.526, denoising 0.2-0.3, Remacri
