Noctiluxe – Usage Guide ♥️

Overview

Noctiluxe is a custom-merged CKPT model primarily optimized for anime, stylized, and ILL-inspired artwork. It is not strongly trained for realistic imagery, so generating consistent realism can be difficult. For anime and expressive stylized output, it performs exceptionally well.

Drag this workflow image into your ComfyUi

1. Initial Generation Phase

Sampler: DDPM
CFG Rescale: 0.4
Steps: 20
CFG: 6.5

DDPM tends to produce the most pleasing and stable base drafts for this model.

2. Upscaling the First Draft

Scale: 1.5×
Method: Bilinear

This step creates a cleaner and more detailed canvas before refining the image.

3. Refining via Image-to-Image

Sampler: Euler_ancestral
Denoise Strength: 0.40

This refines details while preserving the original composition and style.
