Axsys

Because I like to do weird things...

Here are Axsys V2 and V3. Both beta versions ONLY FOR TESTING. Don't expect much from those ! To play safe, go for V1. Before publishing V2 and V3, I made many attemps with code errors or more ugly than ever ! These are the least ugly but still are (wow !) so ugly !

ALL VERSIONS NEED VAE.

V2 is a merge from V1 - Pony and Illustrious. As a result it will work with illustrious and Pony loras and some XL loras too (because Axsys V1 was already a merge from Pony and XL and was used for this merge).

But the results are most of the time ugly !

V3 is a merge from V2 - Illustrious and XL. As a result it will work with Illustrious an XL loras...

But the results are most of the time ugly !

V1 PONY :

This is my first ressource ever done anywhere ^^

I was virtualy drunk the other day and decided to make a Flux checkpoint but my computer refused to do it (because of potato hardware) so I ended doing some random merges.

This is Axsys v1, a ramdom Pony merge with an ugly Sdxl base.

This checkpoint is a result of multiple merges, like 7 or 8... the first and second were weird ugly results since i tried to merge Pony with SdXL but then, from an ugly something it became better and better. My merges were totaly random.

The result is a merge that can do many things... Some good and some totaly ugly :)

It can do anime, realistic, realistic mix with anime, ????... I haven't tested it in every situation but i'm happy with the results it gave me. It is also not bad or good in img2img.

Try it, I'll give buzz to some of the generations you do with my model.

PARAMETERS

I tried using score_9_up and the others and sometimes not and didn't see any improvement on quality so you do what you want ^^

• Sampler : DPM++ 2M SDE / DPM++ SDE and maybe others

• Steps : 20 to 50 : i'd say 30-35 is good and produce sharper images than 20.

• CFG : I only tried 5 to 7

• Resolutions : do as you want, as i don't always use aspect ratios myself ^^

• VAE : Normal Sdxl VAE or Normal "Fix16" but others might work but a VAE is needed

I didn't try hi-res or anything else yet.

OTHER

Hands are sometimes ugly and faces too when not near the screen so you can use Adetailer for better results and some negative promps. I didn't try embeddings that improve quality.

????

I know this can be quite a passionate subject and yes you can do this kind of art with this model but it can be better with some loras to help produce what you want..

In the future I plan to upgrade my potato pc to do Trained checkpoints but before that, I'll do some other random merges and loras. An XL version will be ready soon :)
