These are my new Tensor Art exclusive bipolar sliders LoRA for Illustrious XL 2.0. They are meant to affect the subject's age. These LoRAs come in two versions:

Version 1.2 is my classic all-around slider now better than ever. Currently, version 1.2 is primarily trained for female subjects.

Version 1.1 REALISM is built for realism. It's trained so that aging characters down does not give them overly large eyes, which is what what makes this slider LoRA so great.

These Tensor Art exclusive versions builds off of my previous IllustriousXL Age Sliders by including more robust disentanglement. The previous age slider has an issue where it largely functioned as a glorified "MILF Slider". This meant that it was not as flexible. I am happy to say this has been resolved in these new and improved versions. This version also does not struggle with the male facial hair issues the prior one did.

I will post a scaled version of this slider LoRA shortly.

~ How to use? ~

This is a bipolar slider LoRA. That means it supports both positive and negative input weights.

For version 1.2, safe weighting is -5 to 5. No activation tag required. This LoRA is not trained for V-Pred models.

For Version 1.1 REALISM, safe weighting is roughly +/- 2. No activation tag required. This LoRA is not trained for V-Pred models.

If you are using this LoRA in combination with a character LoRA, adding supporting tags can be beneficial to affect age. Since character LoRAs often have a set character age trained, it can be difficult to change that age depending on how intensely the character LoRA wants to maintain the character's "correct" age. To help overcome this, I suggest you use tags like aged up, aged down, petite , mature female, etc... as needed to help change the character's age. If you run into issues with using this LoRA, please feel free to send me a message or leave a comment so that I can fix issues that may arise.

~ Known issues ~

The slider LoRA does not handle male subjects as well
Very high input weight (>= 5) may add a slight boost in contrast to generated images (this is easily fixable by using a style LoRA)
