>>2904305>Verdict on Illustrious so far?Feels like an animagine sidegrade to me. Actually, may be worse than animagine,
Unlike animagine it recognizes characters easily without lora thats a plus obviously, but the actual generations doesn't seem to provide anything you can't get with animagine + lora.
And, to me there is no point to get back to models that require a shit ton of negative prompt nonsense that are animagine with lora included
I rather stick to pony and lora for now.
I was getting better gens with pony, but decided to show this one for fairness since it has the same seed than the others and all
This is Illustrious (with negative prompt) vs illustrious (no negative prompt) vs random pony merge + lora (no negative prompt)
Regardless of the final results, with illustrious took a good 20 or 30 attempts until I got a seed that worked fine.
Meanwhile with the pony+lora pretty much every gen looks fine, I manually used that seed from the illustrious gens and it also worked
I dont see the point of on one hand getting more easy time by not having to use lora, but having to get back to command code negative prompts and gacha hell for gens
