These are some of my tests for Make Art Not Goon aka <a target="_blank" rel="ugc" href="https://civarchive.com/models/1378329">Animagine XL Realistic</a>.<hr />To help, say:Yes - in a measurable sense, e.g. "3 in 5 of my gens are better". No - please help with a "specific prompt" which needs improvement:<ol><li>prompt following, character accuracy</li><li>anatomy, hands, poses, positions</li><li>interesting composition, seed variety, bias (gender, ethnicity, etc)</li><li>lighting, color, special effects, realism</li><li>faces, emotions, expressions</li></ol>I make the merges with ComfyUI, I test new block merge permutations using a high resolution, 20-25 steps, cfg 1.2 + 0.8 perturbed attention guidance to make a 'total cfg' in the 2-3 range, then save new permutations that seem better for that prompt. After a few weeks, thousands of permutations, I've usually got a new version. I test prompts with and without realistic/photorealistic, a few art styles, with and without masterpiece, absurdres.I keep the clip_l, clip_g and vae identical to the original Animagine XL 4.0. I try to keep as much weight from the original unet, in particular that which controls composition, prompt following and lighting.<h3 id="license">License</h3>This model adopts the original <a target="_blank" rel="ugc" href="https://huggingface.co/stabilityai/stable-diffusion-xl-base-1.0/blob/main/LICENSE.md">CreativeML Open RAIL++-M License</a> from Stability AI without any modifications or additional restrictions.
