TamRedux

TamRedux adds Sardonyx v3 over my TamRealish merges, which adds a little bit more of an anime feel. I'm an especially big fan of the heavier outlines Sardonyx contributes. My current favorite is v2, but they're all different enough to be worth checking out, imo. I like pastel-waifu-diffusion as the VAE for these, but change to suit your own tastes. v1 uses TamRealish v1, while v2 and v3 user TamRealish v2. These are all merge block weight merges, I'm happy to share the weights for anyone interested. These use the base_alpha of my previous merges, which is from Divas, so the prompting should be about the same. Take a look at that checkpoint if you're not familiar with it.

I forgot to rename the checkpoints before generating the preview images, so the naming convention is weird. That's my bad. All the images were generated with hires-fix 4x-UltraSharp at 2.5x, and ADetailer for the face and sometimes breasts. It handles NSFW and anatomy well, v3 seems especially prone to throw out NSFW but none of them will fight you with ghost underwear or anything like that.

It seems to do better with realistic LoRas, especially for poses, but plenty of anime ones work just fine. I prefer embeddings for characters though. They seem to do fine with a pretty wide range of CFG scales, and I tried to illustrate that with the repetitive preview images. Anything from about 2.5/3 - 11 or so can give good results, depending on what you're looking for. Adding 'anime, illustration' vs 'photorealistic, RAW, film photograph' etc does seem to change overall image a bit.
