Red Sea is a furry SDXL lightning model designed to default to realistic/semi-realistic look, based on seaart lab's excellent furry model.
General usage:
Image sizes are the same as seaarts, ideally around 1024x1024, 1152x896, 896x1152 but variants should be fine.
It should default to realism/semi-realism however if there are issues the best tags to push this are : Photo, raw, realistic,
E621 tags work fine, seemingly with or without underscores.
Example pictures were done with auto1111 using high res fix to upscale by 1.5.
any sdxl VAE should be fine, I simply used the standard one for sdxl.
Samplers/steps :
This is a lighting model and uses very few steps/low cfg. the ones I tested with and work were:
Euler a with 8 steps and 2 cfg
DPM++ SDE Karras with 4 steps and 2 cfg.
Ideally you will need a 8gb vram card, you maybe able to use less with the fp8 features in auto1111/comfyui:
in Auto1111 this is done by going to settings > Optimizations > FP8 weight and setting this to enable for SDXL.
in comfyui adding --fp8_e4m3fn-text-enc --fp8_e4m3fn-unet as launch parameters.
Note this will lower the quality of the images.
Quirks:
Apart from usual anatomy issues poses can be a bit bland and might need clever prompting to get around.
