Update V2 v-pred

V2 is a complete new merge based on Rouwei 0.8 v-pred. For some time, I did not know how to proceed with this model and then gave mentioned Rouwei model a try and found out it worked pretty well in producing both semi-realistic Anime style and "realistic" semi-realistic pictures.

Since this model is now V-pred based, the settings changed quite a bit:

Sampler / Scheduler: Euler A + SGM Uniform or Euler Negative with Align your Steps
CFG: 3-5
Steps: 25
Resolutions: tested with SDXL resolutions
Highres fix and adetailer if needed depending on use case
VAE is included

New Quality tags:

Positive

masterpiece,best quality,amazing quality

Negative

low quality, worst quality, watermark, signature, censored, mosaic censoring, bar censor

In order to get a more realistic look, add the tags "realistic, photorealistic" to the positive prompt.

This Semi-Realistic Checkpoint is based on Illustrious XL 1.1 and is able to produce both 2.5D Anime style and Semi-Realistic pictures.

Please see below Quality tags for each style.
