RouweiMix XL - Soft Gentle Glow Anime Merge (Illustrious)

RouweiMix XL - Soft Gentle Glow Anime Merge is a three-way anime checkpoint merge tuned for airy translucent color, gentle glow and a clean bright anime finish, while keeping the stable anatomy of the Illustrious ecosystem.

Recipe: 0.45 x WAI-Branch-Rouwei (E-pred-1) + 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:

• Soft, airy glow and clean color from WAI-Branch-Rouwei

• - Stable composition and strong prompt adherence from WAI-illustrious

• - A balanced, broadly compatible anime base from Illustrious-XL v1.0

Great for everyday and slice-of-life illustration, gentle character art, scenery and any image that needs a soft, clean, all-round anime look. Add 'soft light, gentle glow, clean' for the strongest 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.
