STEPS BASE (after this value the refiner kicks in) should never exceed the value of TOTAL STEPS unless you want to use only the first KSampler.I like 10:14, increase total steps for realism, these are set for models in suggested resources, <a rel="ugc" href="https://civarchive.com/models/507472/uncanny-valley">Uncanny valley</a> and <a rel="ugc" href="https://civarchive.com/models/885893/fabled-illusion-xxxl-nsfw">Fabled Illusion XXXL - (N/SFW)</a>, I really recommend downloading them, both are the best I found for their respective roles, feel free to comment your best values!The main appeal of this workflow is using illustrious/noobai-xl model to setup complex poses or characters and refine it with an sdxl photorealistic checkpoint.Version 5.5 has additional 1080p version file.I don't make new versions for small quality of life updates, download the file for the latest version.
