My goal for this model was to know if there was a way to merge models and not have realism/realistic style be the default. I wanted to keep Illustrious styles as default and just allow Realism style to be prompted. I decided to do mergers because it's faster for me, my laptop limits what I'm able to do unfortunately. To do this merge I had to modify SuperMerger code a bit to make it easier for me to merge specific transformer block layers and its elements per block, hence the Surgical Merge.Every time I do a merge, I try a new method, last merge was with <a target="_blank" rel="ugc" href="https://civarchive.com/models/1212147/dare2animagine">DARE</a>, but I didn't feel I had enough control. So, I learned about elements and all the layers inside each block, so I started testing and making A LOT of mistakes for the last 3 months. I might plan to improve this model more, since I think I have a good understanding now of what to do, but I need a faster way to test the changes, so I will see if I can vibe code a ComfyUI node or something. Either way, I wish I could provide a recipe... but I'm using a modified SuperMerger, so even if I provide it, it might not work. But here is basically what I merged: MERGE A: <a target="_blank" rel="ugc" href="https://civarchive.com/models/1308285/illumiyume-xl-illustrious">illumiyumeXL_v31EPred</a> + (<a target="_blank" rel="ugc" href="https://civarchive.com/models/827184/wai-illustrious-sdxl">waiNSFWIllustrious_v150</a> - <a target="_blank" rel="ugc" href="https://civarchive.com/models/1308285/illumiyume-xl-illustrious">illumiyumeXL_v31EPred</a>) MERGE B: MERGE A + (<a target="_blank" rel="ugc" href="https://civarchive.com/models/846917?modelVersionId=2230869">raehoshiIllustXL_v70</a> - MERGE A)MERGE C: MERGE B + (<a target="_blank" rel="ugc" href="https://civarchive.com/models/1652839/realcosplay-1536px">realcosplay1536px_v21</a> - <a target="_blank" rel="ugc" href="https://civarchive.com/models/1369089?modelVersionId=1546777">Illustrious-XL-v2.0</a>)MERGE D: MERGE C + (<a target="_blank" rel="ugc" href="https://civarchive.com/models/1652839/realcosplay-1536px">realcosplay1536px_v21</a> - <a target="_blank" rel="ugc" href="https://civarchive.com/models/1369089?modelVersionId=1546777">Illustrious-XL-v2.0</a>)Please check the models used in this merge, I wouldn't have been able to create this merge without the help and time they provided by the model's creators.
