Version Information

- Version 2 REDUX:

(Oops! Forgot to bake-in the VAE! Updated the model to include it!)

This is an alternate variant of Version 2.4.

Instead of trying to improve MagicMouse I simply REMADE the current version of MM using entirely up-to-date versions of the illustrious models used in my merges.

This version doesn't iterate on my artistic vision, and should be considered a tangential fork of v2.4.

It was more like a side-quest, a "what-if", to see what it would look like if I used the updated models.

This version uses:

OfMiceAndDoe_v3.3, IllustriousBlackMagic_v4.2, and NovaOrangeXL_v14.

and as such, loses some of the dramatic charm that OM&D_v2 had (due to its later iterations changing its recipe), and gains some finer details in return. This version takes on a much more classical look versus the more stylized MM_v2.4

- Version 2.4:

A merge of

OfMiceAndDoe_v2 by FallenIncursio

IllustriousBlackMagic_v3 by RAMTHRUST

&

NovaOrangeXL_v10 by Crody

That attempted to smooth out some edges by incorporating a secondary "classical" anime-styled checkpoint as reinforcement.

The weight of Mice&Doe's style is lifted without losing its charm, or having its outlines be diminished, by incorporating BlackMagic, then it's given a boost to its depth and texture by the inclusion of NovaOrange.

v2.4 changelog:

• Started over. Re-merged OfMiceAndDoe and BlackMagic with a different weight ratio that better accomplished my goal. (it was a marginal improvement)

• Merged in a NovaOrangeXL version as a stabilizer to smooth out some of the inconsistencies that I was noticing.

• Gens are now more stable

• Better overall detail

• Eye distortions have been lessened. (This will likely be my next focus for either a v2.4+ or a v3 update)

• Hand distortions have marginally improved

- Version 1:

A merge of

OfMiceAndDoe_v2 by FallenIncursio

&

IllustriousBlackMagic_v3 by RAMTHRUST

That is meant to take the gorgeous, but heavy styles of Mice&Doe, and reign them in a bit by merging them with the more classical anime look of BlackMagic
