Please post an image and leave a review if you've got the time. If you post anything decent, I will tip you.

If you like this model, you'll probably like the XLTurbo follow-up, Ultraspice.

If you want to get started making cool gifs, efastcurex has written a guide here. Morpheus1111 has also written a great guide with follow up here. Some of my recents gifs are upscaled with ComfyUI or AutoChar. Check out my profile to see more.

Melange is a merge that started from DucHaiten-StyleLikeMe. I wanted to preserve some of the amazing style and excellent flexibilty while making it more consistent and (subjectively) more beautiful. I mixed in a little bit of everything; endlessReality, Perfect World, majicMix, and a few others.

As with any model, experimentation is key to producing the most beautiful pics and gifs. I'm still learning new things every day to make better looking images so I'm not comfortable writing a tutorial about it just yet. I can say confidently that Melange is an excellent checkpoint on which to try new techniques and LoRAs. It does require a certain amount of experience in SD to use well so if you're just starting out it might not be the right model for you.

The winner of the first bounty was Daiquiri with this incredible pic. The second round winner was GracefulFox with the wonderful post here.

Support my creation with money if it suits you.

Melange Realistic models included but were not limited to: LazyMix+, epicRealism, and Analog Madness. I may eventually try another pass at fantasy-realism but for now it is what it is.
