 About this version
 
 


 i meant to post this closer to Christmas but apparently... i did not lol
 
 
 
 
 ..BAKED-VAE v0.3.4.1: experimental version.
 
 

<ul>
 <li>
 
 better backgrounds. in general i have noticed the backgrounds having a bit more detail..
 
 </li>
 <li>
 
 lighting behaves slightly different. more dramatic, without the aid of extra networks.
 
 </li>
</ul>

 negative things

<ul>
 <li>
 
 background details can sometimes be a negative thing if your background/environment is simple. prompting the specific details for your background helps, but as always, don't overdo it. if it is a simple background you want, make sure to prompt for it, instead of leaving it up to random chance.
 
 </li>
</ul>



 
 
 ..BAKED-VAE v0.2:
 
 
 this version has a slight different style. however, the core focus is still lighting. overall, i have noticed an increase in vibrance in generations, as well as improved lighting.


 i wanted to try a slightly different style. however, the focus on strong lighting and volumetrics remain

<ul>
 <li>
 
 stronger lighting. try things like "mist," or "fog," for some neat results
 
 </li>
 <li>
 
 in testing, it seems to have a wider color range. more vibrant outputs, unless you prompt accordingly.
 
 </li>
</ul>



 
 Positive Prompt:
 
 "HDR, 8K, high contrast, masterpiece, best quality, amazing quality, very aesthetic, high resolution, ultra-detailed, absurdres, (insert your prompt here), photorealistic, volumetric lighting, dramatic shadows, cinematic lighting,"




 
 Negative Prompt:
 
 "censored, worst quality, low quality, normal quality, lowres, jpeg artifacts, artistic error, multiple views, signature, watermark, artist name, bad hands, extra digits, extra legs, displeasing, worst aesthetic, old, early, simple background, simple shading, simple drawing, simple coloring,"


 
 Sampler:
 
 Euler A


 
 Steps:
 
 25


 
 CFG:

 ..BAKED-VAE v0.1:
 
 
 i baked a VAE in to make it better for onsite generation, and local gen as well (for those who dont load a VAE separately). in general, lighting and colors are noticeably better! Because of the baked VAE, this is the ideal version for onsite use.
