◻️🏵️ Hello, this is Ether One Mix 🏵️◻️

An anime mix inspired by the simplicity and style flexibility of the original NAI model, as well as decent compatibility with LORA's. My attempt at bringing it back to square one.

✨ Please Share Your Cool Creations Below! ✨

* Version 1:

Ether One is a mix inspired by the continued creativity from NAI focused artists. I continually found myself captivated by how fun and flexible artists can be using one model and an understanding of prompting. This is my attempt at recreating that style of model, while "updating" it in a way that feels more contemporary in style. I also focused on giving it compatibility with LORA's. Though, since I don't really use LORA's that often, it might still be sub-par.

If you have any feedback I'd be happy to hear it.

☄️ Generation Recommendations

Use whatever sampler, steps, CFG, clip skip you prefer.

Sample images were generated with

• Sampler: DPM++ 2M Karras

• Steps: 20 - 28

• CFG: 7 - 11

• Clip Skip: 1

• ENSD: 31337

Increasing CFG can lead to more vibrant results.

Negative Prompt Example:

"NSFW, (worst quality, low quality:1.3)"

I recommend this simple negative prompt if you wish to achieve a similar style to the preview images. You can further alter positive and negative prompts based on the type of style you'd like to achieve.

Style focused negative prompt examples:

* Photorealism feel:

• "sketch, drawing, anime, cartoon, illustration, NSFW, (worst quality, low quality:1.3)"

* Flat Anime/Cartoon:

• "realistic, photorealistic, photograph, 3D, NSFW, (worst quality, low quality:1.3)"

Recommended VAE:

Waifu Diffusion VAE kl-f8-anime2

The VAE is baked. I strongly recommend this VAE as the model was tuned with its color and saturation in mind.

Sample images were further upscaled using AUTO1111 Hi-res fix. Please utilize it if you wish to achieve similar results.

• Latent (nearest-exact)

• Upscale by: 2

• Denoising strength: 0.55

Are your results changing too much after Hi-res fix? Please try 4x-foolhardy-Remarci.

• 4x-foolhardy-Remarci

• Upscale by: 2

• Denoising strength: 0.45 - 0.55

🖊️ Prompting Advice

To achieve the aesthetic featured in the gallery I recommend using the suggested positive and negative prompts of AOM3.

• masterpiece, best quality,

• NSFW, (worst quality, low quality:1.3)

The model was mixed and tested using these prefixes and will give you the most consistent style results. Of course you're free to prompt however you'd like as booru-style models tend to be quite flexible in prompting.

If you look at the prompts included with the sample images they demonstrate that even with a very loose and vague style of prompting you can achieve fun, high quality images.

Experiment and give the AI some freedom to interpret your ideas!

General guidelines:

• Prompt in the style of anime/booru-style models, "masterpiece, best quality, ..... "

  • More anime style images

• Prompt in the style of photography/non-anime models, "professional photograph of ..... "

  • More realistic images, higher style variety

📘 Model Merging Info - v1

I have no training or real knowledge of machine learning. I merged the model using the information provided on WarriorMama777's AOM model page as well as the info from these Rentrys. I very arbitrarily mixed the UBM weights of each model, modifying the values with trial and error until I was visually satisfied with it.

I utilized the SuperMerger extension for AUTO1111 by hako-mikan.
