Sampler: Euler a
Steps: 30-40
Clip Skip: 1
CFG: 4-7
Base Resolution: 512x / 768x / 1024x / 768x1280 / 960x1280 / 1024x1536 / 1920x1080
512x can be blurrier than SoteMix V1.
Model can still be chaotic at 1024x1536 and 1920x1080.

Second Pass / Hires:
Sampler: Euler / Euler a
Steps: 10 with Euler / 20 with Euler a
Upscaler: RealESRGAN 4x+ Anime6B / ESRGAN 4x-AnimeSharp with 0.2-0.3 denoise strength.
CFG: 6-9
Resolution: 2x of the base resolution.

Training:
My GPU couldn't handle full model training at these resolutions so i trained it as a 512 layer Lora with SoteMix V1 as the base.
Used highres as the trigger word. Also used raifu trigger word with my OC character.

Merge:
Merged SoteMix V1 with Lunar Radiance Light and then merged the Hires Lora i trained on top of it.
Merge ratio: (0.6 SoteMix V1 + 0.4 Lunar Radiance Light) + 0.7 Hires Lora
