CHINOOK Creator: Aurety Chinook 1.0 is finally out and it's a liberation for me because this project went through more than 1100 merges and finetuning's. I've learnt so much with this model about ‘’latent diffusion‘’ that my next models will progress exponentially. It's not a joke !! ;) Well then?! : Chinook 1.0 is incredible ! aha.. It's a model that I'm trying to optimise for cinematic rendering (1536*640) but of course you can use it in the classic SDXL sizes. It's the first version, so I've still got a lot of work to do on it, but the tone is set and frankly I'm really proud of it! As it's a heavy mix, I finetuned it from low CFG (1.5-3) so that the noise would come up with more quality and detail. It also has a wide spectrum and needs to be tested assiduously! 1-5 -> 3: More creative, less photographic quality. 3->5 : Good compromise 6-> 8 : More photographic and a little blurry for the cinematic side. For the sampler, I took the classic DPM++ 2M Karras, perhaps there's something better? I'll leave you to explore. For the Steps, between 10 and 100 and fixed hires, if you like! Use of Adetailer sometimes necessary. For the prompt, in works equally well as a literal version (GPT/Claude text for example), or as words separated by commas. So the basis of a prompt would be, for example : Positive prompt: cinematic, film grain, RAW, movie still, realistic photography, [SUBJECT], [LIGHTING], dutch angle style, chromatic aberration negative prompt: drawing, illustration, 3d, sketch, cg There are some STRONG trigger words: dutch angle style, chromatic aberration, movie style, analog,... which are very important for the cinematic side I wanted. I also worked on the notions of crowds and variety of faces. This model isn't perfect! There are still some obvious finger and eye problems and as I've mixed a lot of Loras designed for 1024x1024 or portrait style, I have to struggle with the fact that it can centre the subject (but I've worked a lot on this aspect!). In short, there's still a lot of work to do, so please be patient! I'd love to see what you will create, please share your creations !! And follow me ! Thanks for using my models !
