 ### Overview


 
 SAKURA_Illustrious_v0.8_Hybrid
 
 is an SDXL-based model (Illustrious/Pony) designed to achieve a perfect balance between soft, clean lighting and sharp, characteristic facial structures.


 This model is a hybrid merge of my private prototype
 
 "SAKURA_Illustrious"
 
 and the excellent
 
 "demonpony_v10"
 
 by andy4643.


 ### Technical Details (Block Weighted Merge)


 To create this hybrid, I developed a custom Python script for
 
 precise hierarchical merging (Block Weighted Merge)
 
 .


 -
 
 Base &amp; Lighting (100% SAKURA Illustrious):
 


 The Text Encoders, Input Blocks, and Middle Blocks are fully inherited from SAKURA Illustrious. This ensures stable backgrounds and clean, soft lighting.


 -
 
 Face Structure (30% DemonPony):
 


 Specifically targeted
 
 Output Block 3
 
 to retain the characteristic facial sharpness of DemonPony.


 -
 
 Skin Texture (85-90% SAKURA Illustrious):
 


 Adjusted
 
 Output Blocks 4 and 5
 
 to eliminate skin "greasiness", resulting in a smooth, high-quality skin texture.
