Description

( Not my Model )

https://civitai.com/models/1011059?modelVersionId=2311853

About this version

Forge is the "ALMOST REAL" -- it's the "Not quite 3d" but above 2.5d.

The ones that are more SHINY and closer to 2.5d will be on the 2.5d remix line (Y'know the midjourney plastic ones lol)

Designed by Ktiseos Nyx.

This mirrors the aesthetic of our Virtual Diffusion PonyXL Line. If you're interested in supporting us in our long standing AI journey please scroll down for ways to connect & sponsor us! Currently if you're interested in having it on the generator please feel free to donate towards auction costs!

This one is our dumpster our forge of "mistakes" per se - while Replicant is painterly, Remix is meant to be more animated AND 2.5d but semi realistic -- This is that "I trained too much AI in but it still looks hella cool"

It's also sometime our "CINEMATIC" line.

๐Ÿ› ๏ธ Merge & Training Details

The backbone of any of our mixes are built upon numerous LoRAs, many of which were trained in-house by Ktiseos Nyx. We're always experimenting and creating! Due to the wonderfully rapid pace of Ktiseos Nyx's LoRA development, we confess that sometimes the exact lineage of merged checkpoints becomes a delightful mystery. We believe in training as much as we can ourselves, but the spirit of community and shared creation is vital!

โœจ Recommended Settings

To get the best out of ANY of our models, try these settings:

  • Samplers: Euler or Euler Ancestral

  • Scheduler: Karras

  • Negative Prompt: Generally not needed! The model is designed to perform well without one, but feel free to experiment based on your preferences.

  • 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 this. 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 โ€“ it'll likely produce a good image, just perhaps not the one you had in mind with a very specific LoRA.
