Version Highlights

This one was interesting to work on. My computer did not want to work with me lol; but finally started working. So, for this version I am just trying to improve the overall look and response. SDXL is rather cool in that it does better with it range based on the prompt...but I still like the creative look SD 1.5 does initially (well at least with my other RealCartoon checkpoints that is, lol). ANYWAY, this version responds well and does well with details....and if you prompt for more of a realistic look it does well. Anyway, I hope you all enjoy!! Last update for the year :P ....my be busy with new child at this point...so may not get to update for a minute.

FYI VAE IS BAKED IN

Version 3 has https://huggingface.co/madebyollin/sdxl-vae-fp16-fix baked in.

RealCartoon-XL is an attempt to get some nice images from the newer SDXL. It still is a bit soft on some of the images, but I enjoy mixing and trying to get the checkpoint to do well on anything asked of it. This model level is definitely pushing my computer, so takes a bit longer to actually get it things tested and mixed :)

The mission is the same of the SD1.5 versions. Which is to get a checkpoint to pretty much do well on prompts while looking good with good variety

I hope you all enjoy it! Please review and share your images. I very much appreciate the support with the downloads and feedback (THANK YOU ALL). Never thought it would get this much attention.

The Process:


The starting checkpoints for merging were a couple of top ones of course (The checkpoints do/did not have restrictions on checkpoint mergers. Some of these are in my recommended resources as well). I also baked in the VAE (sdxl_vae.safetensors).

Currently this checkpoint is at its beginnings, so it may take a bit of time before it starts to really shine. I will continue to update it as time progresses...but I do hope you all enjoy it as it develops.

The Settings:

Still figuring out SDXL, but here is what I have been using:

  • Width: 1216 (normally would not adjust unless I flipped the height and width)

  • Height: 832

  • Sampling Method: "Eular A" and "DPM++ 2M Karras" are favorites.

  • Sampling steps: 30 - 55 normally (30 being my starting point, but going up to 55 and even 60 a lot of the time)

  • Hires.fix settings: Upscaler (R-ESRGAN 4x+, 4k-UltraSharp most of the time), Hires Steps (10), Denoising Str (0.34 - 0.45 normally), Upscale (1.5 or 2 does well)

  • Clip Skip: 2

Some settings I run on the web-Ui to help get the images without crashing:

set COMMANDLINE_ARGS=--medvram --no-half-vae --opt-sdp-attention
