A Colossus arise.. again..

Deep under a mountain lives a sleeping giant, capable to eighter help humanity or create destruction...

Version 9.0 "HERA"

This version is a long time in the making.. Its based on a own trained model called "Hera" which isn't public and mixed with parts of my existing version 6.0 and my Hephaistos Lightning model. It also got my SDXL Enhancer Lora and Freek22s Furry enhancer Lora mixed in. This also a sort of restart of this series. Its less censored than my last version.. This was more like a bug in the last version. Also it works with lower steps than version 6.0

Thanks to freek22 for your Furry Enhancer https://civitai.com/models/310964/furry-enhancer-sdxl

Feel free to give me some feedback about this version.

A known bug of the model: It can't produce male organs. I know this already. Use a Lora or another model for this.

Here is some technical stuff:

I trained on more hand and feet images, so this should be better. Keep in mind that this is still SDXL and it got some limitations..

Version 9 needs less steps to start working. I recommend to start from 4 steps.. Higher steps can and will still improve the image. In my test down below I tried a range from 3-16 steps.. and 1-7cfg. As you can see: with a higher step count you can run higher or even lower cfgs.

Recommended settings

It works very well at around 2-4 cfg. As you can see above.. the recommended step count depends on the sampler and the used cfg scale.. In my test it started to work with 5 steps. for can be benificial especially for higer cfg scales.

Recommended sampler:

In my tests DPM++ SDE, DPM 2 a and DPM++ 2S a worked really good for fine details. You can also use the Karras versions of these samplers.

Also DPM++ SDE Karras, Euler a, Euler a Turbo, DDPM, DDPM Karras, DPM++ 2M Turbo, DPM++ 2M SDE Heun Exponential worked great in my tests.

feel free to test other sampler if course..

Be aware that some samplers aren't working. Don't use following samplers:

DPM++ 2M Karras, DPM++ 2M,DPM++ 2M, DPM++ 2M SDE, DPM++ 2M SDE Heun, Euler, LMS, LMS Karras, Heun, 3M SDE Karras, DPM fast, DPM2 Karras, Restart, PLMS, DDIM, Uni PC, LCM, LCM Karras

Here is the full credit list of things I used for this model including the resources I used for my other models which are merged into Colossus XL. Thanks for all your work. Please check ou their work and give them a like/review.
