Ala-Carte

Another attempt at a full realism lora, however due to leaving PARTIAL text encoder on (like bare minimum) it DOES work on all models. This was a mix of the other datasets that we've been using but since we didn't want to go TOO HIGH of a dataset, this and one other (starberry juice) were balancing acts for the amount of content we had.

The concept behind this one was "Fast food" "Ala-carte" and just general moving society - so it's got a bit of everything. Use it on anime to create thick poignant realistic anime, or use it on realism for an extra boost!

✨ Recommended Settings

To get the best out of this mess, try these settings:

Samplers: Euler or Euler Ancestral
Scheduler: Karras
Negative Prompt: Up to you, we use a mix of our embeddings, sometimes don't even use negatives!
CFG & Steps:
- A mix of anywhere from 5 to 7 for CFG
- Steps is your choice, we do lower because we're lazy but some people go all the way up to 50! (Or more!)
HiRes Fix:
- Steps: 15
- Denoise: 0.3
- Upscale: 2x
Upscalers: Rex, 4x_Remacri, or your personal favorite.
ADetailer: Use sparingly. Due to potential VAE differences, it might occasionally produce grey squares.
Embeddings: We've used some of our own custom embeddings to showcase character types in our examples, but no stylistic embeddings were necessary to achieve the core look.
LoRA Compatibility: Chances are good that most LoRAs will work with our new models. However, be aware that while they will function, the result might not perfectly align with your expectations if the LoRA heavily influences style. It's a "What You See Is What You Get" situation with the base model's strong aesthetic – it'll likely produce a good image, just perhaps not the one you had in mind with a very specific LoRA.

🎨 Model Style & Inspiration

This Mix aims to capture the charm and the inspiration of the dynamism of YOUR imagination, and the expressive qualities of illustration. Whether you're crafting whimsical characters or vibrant scenes, this model is ready to explore with you!

🛠️ Merge & Training Details

This is a TRAINED lora, we rarely do fused/merged loras (but they're around!) - the backbone of this is a mix of unsplash and open sourced stock images plus synthetic data. We're trying to build up some loras that CAN be used on multiple styles, but are trained on mostly realistic data.
