BAXLv3 is up now!

Focus on generalization ability, cover art style of most copyright characters without catastrophic forgetting / overfitting.

What you should expected from this update:

  • Better generalization

  • Closer to Blue Archive style

  • Beautiful glare

  • Much improved LoRA compatibility based on KohakuΔ.

What you should NOT expected from this update:

  • Better anatomy, always good hands and feet

  • easy to use

  • focus on given prompts (compare to previous version)

  • multiple person / nsfw support (this is not gonna get any close to pony.)

  • detailed background

How-to:

Prompting logic is same to KohakuΔ.

1girl, <character>, <general tag>, <quality tag>

Negative:

lowres, error, worst quality, low quality, jpeg artifacts, watermark, signature, username

Keep prompt clean and tidy. Suggest prompt length < 75 tokens.

Suggetion:

  1. CFG: 4-7 (higher will have slightly better anatomy)

  2. Sampler: Euler A @ 25steps

  3. Resolution: 768 - 1792(ultrawide only), +32 each step.

  4. Use DanTagGen.

  • Set a low temperature (<1)

  • Ban words: sketch, comic, flat color, .*official.*, .*boy.*, mecha, no humans, text, pixel art, speech bubble

  • Total tag length: short

  1. Use Hires.Fix

  • Upscaler: DATx2

  • Denoising: 0.4-0.5

  1. Use ADetailer.

  1. If you want generate typical color, put color scheme to at first.

What's difference:

Base model switch to KohakuΔ rev1.

Reason

  • Aesthetic rating which AniXL used is NOT friendly to Celluloid art style, quality / negative tags of AniXL are effortless, sometimes even drawback for drawing clean, thin lines. Also it seems like AniXL has some overfitted characters.

  • 👆TBH, I haven't use same training methods on AniXL3.1 yet. Maybe it can be fixed by the final training config I use.

  • Meanwhile, KohakuΔ is undertrained, which means flexible, more friendly to fine-tune art style.

  • I have no idea how to tag like AniXL3.1, but I know how to tag like KohakuΔ, since I could get the exact same dataset from Hakubooru.

Better generalization & horizonal composition.

  • KohakuΔ rev1 is not good at anatomy & composition, due to lack of training time (dual 3090 bro, what you expected).

  • Due to Regularization, this fine-tune do make things better (especially horizonal image), but I'm not gonna lie you, BAXLv3-Δ is VERY EASY to generate bad hand / extra legs, get worse if the prompts have problems (too long / semantic repetition / immoderate tag order).

Regularization / Datasets Update.

  • Regularization Danbooru Dataset, class token=solo:

    • 1000+ horizonal image

      • fav count > 30

      • tag with "1girl, solo"

    • 1000+ vertical image

      • fav count > 30

      • tag with "1girl, solo"

      • artist who is celluloid art style & BA art style imitator

  • Dataset update to 0068 events CG, include 5th PV screenshots.

Training Details:

  • Image count: 574 without repeat.

  • min_bucket_reso = 256

  • max_bucket_reso = 4096

  • bucket_reso_steps = 32

  • train_batch_size = 2

  • gradient_accumulation_steps = 32

  • learning_rate = 7.5e-6 Unet only

  • lr_scheduler = "constant_with_warmup"

  • lr_warmup_steps = 100

  • optimizer_type = "Lion8bit"

  • min_snr_gamma = 5

  • Batch size = 2

  • mixed_precision = "fp16"

  • full_fp16 = true

  • optimizer_args = [ "weight_decay=0.1", "betas=0.9,0.95" ]

  • shuffle_caption = true

  • weighted_captions = false

  • keep_tokens = 0

  • caption_tag_dropout_rate = 0.1

Known issues:

  • halo / heterochromia / .*focus.* seems to be overfitted in some circumstances. Can be helped by put them in negative tags.

  • Background is not stable, keen to draw something unnecessary even if you type simple background, white background
