AmberMix XL is a three-way anime checkpoint merge built for warm amber and orange tones - golden hour light, autumn warmth and glowing sunsets - while keeping the stable anatomy of the Illustrious ecosystem.
Recipe: 0.45 x Nova Orange XL (REX v1.0) + 0.30 x WAI-illustrious-SDXL (v17) + 0.25 x Illustrious-XL-v1.0, applied to the UNet only (VAE and text encoder inherited from the first model).
What you get:/n- The luminous warm orange palette and glowing highlights of Nova Orange XL
Stable composition and strong prompt adherence from WAI-illustrious
- A balanced, broadly compatible anime base from Illustrious-XL v1.0
Suits golden-hour portraits, autumn scenes, warm-lit interiors, sunset landscapes and any illustration that needs a cozy amber atmosphere. Add lighting prompts (golden hour, sunset, warm light, backlight) for the best effect.
[Recommended settings] Sampler DPM++ 2M or Euler a, 28-32 steps, CFG 7, 832x1216. Danbooru-style tags work best. Use bf16 where possible - fp16 can soften output.
