REYA_012

Hello and welcome to the second edition of REYApping, a space where I write a bunch of nonsense. Without further ado, let's begin.It's been a while since I first wrote REYApping, and that one stays true to its "nonsense ahh writing". This one though, may be a bit different. I'm going to share a bit of experience with one of my Flux LoRa: Anitrait. Now, I'm not a good creator, in fact I'm actually just a mere user that hates Flux original anime style. That's why I decided to make Anitrait. With that in mind, you might think that how I train LoRa sucks and it's bad practice, but whatever, you can roast me later.BackstoryThe first time I tried to make it was kinda hellish since I got a lot of issues with deformity (especially bad anatomy and hands). I lost quite amount of credits because I'm the type to "do first, think later". The issue isn't just about that, there's also the issue of LoRas not triggering when set to 1 and even more.After getting broke with numerous attempt at training, I seek help and thankfully a great creator, Riiwa (you must've known this person and you might've even used the AI Tools), reached out to me and send a link about someone's experience in training Flux. The article is on CivitAI made by "mnemic" (it's very easy to find on Google if you tried to search it). That person did something that I've never done: having the network alpha higher than the dim. Very interesting. When I asked about its effect to another great creator: NukeAI about its effect, dude said "It make your image fries a.k.a overfits quickly." or something along the line. But me being a person I am decides to just go with it, and the result is actually interesting.TestingI want to compare 3 version of Anitrait. All of that is made by training 50 portrait images generated from AnimagineXL 3.1, cropped to 1024x1024 manually via photoshop, and using the simple category word captioning (also found in the article by mnemic, check that part out, it's interesting). The version I'll be comparing is Beta 2_E5, Beta 3_E6, and the real Beta 3 (I'll just call it B3). Here's more settings:Beta 2_E5:Network Dim: 64Network Alpha: 32LR Scheduler: CosineOptimizer: AdamWBeta 3_E6:Network Dim: 64Network Alpha: 64LR Scheduler: CosineOptimizer: AdamWB3:Network Dim: 64Network Alpha: 128LR Scheduler: CosineOptimizer: AdamW8bit (Isn't trained on Tensor, but I try to match every settings except optimizer since regular AdamW isn't supported).All of the model above will be tested using a herbalist prompt that I find by clicking the dice button in Tensor's prompt box, all with Euler-normal sampler, 25 steps, seed: 1000001, LoRa weight 0.6, model Flux.1 Dev fp8, T5 fp8, no negative prompt, guidance 3.5, and clip skip 1 at 768 x 1152 resolution.The prompt:Within the whimsical realm of an anime style, fantasy themed herbalist shop, a serene herbalist stands amidst shelves stacked with ancient tomes and peculiar botanicals. The camera captures a stunning close-up of her gentle features: piercing light-colored eyes, a caring smile, and long hair framing her arcanist attire adorned with herbalist details. Her hands cradle a delicate glass vial filled with shimmering essence as she gazes directly at the viewer, inviting them into her mystical world. The soft, warm lighting emphasizes the intricate textures of her clothes and the lush greenery surrounding her. In the background, an immersive scenery unfolds, replete with symmetrical details and sharpened clarity, transporting the viewer to a realm of wonder and discovery.ResultBeta 2_E5Beta 3_E6B3DiscussionNot gonna lie, all three version seems good at interpreting the long af prompt. From the herbalist character, to the object she's holding, to her surrounding, etc. but when we're talking about details, there's quite the difference.Beta 2_E5 has problems generating good finger (for FLux standard). The face is also a little bit off, but the overall detail is richer than the other 2 version: from the more intricate clothing pattern to her more natural plant looking hair accessories.Beta 3_E7 still has problem generating good finger, but the overall face detail is better. Another problem to point out is that the glass bottle she's holding is deformed. But overall detail is good, and I actually like the eye color here being yellow than green.B3 has the best result, not only because it generates a very good finger and hands, it's also more vibrant and not a deformity in sight. It's sharp, face looks good, proportion is good, and her chest somehow got a teeny bit bigger. The only problem is that the yellow thing on her shoulder is only generated on one side, but meh, I'll take it.ConclusionGoing with network alpha higher than the network dim may help in improving image quality and it may help in fixing certain anatomy. But this result may need more testing from other people since it's only 1 case that sees better result.Thank you for reading this edition of REYApping. Any feedback is appreciated. See you in the next edition!

Hello and welcome to the first edition of REYApping, a space where I write a bunch of nonsense. Without further ado, let's begin.Memes. You probably know this term as a manifestation of comedy (or in some cases, dark comedy) through a visual media. It has existed for a long time, with some saying that it originates roughly a decade ago. They often reflect current events, societal trends, and shared experiences. For example when the anime "Spy x Family" is trending, you'll see a bunch of memes like Anya's 'heh' face or quite recently the Rizz guy which by the way, you can find their respective Loras in Tensor and here's an example of each of those Lora generated with a model called "REYAMix" which somehow sounds very similar to my username... sus... .Image 1. Anya 'heh' face by FallenIncursio and Waos Chad Face by AlvaroOoNow, when you saw a meme, you'll probably just laugh it off and sometimes got the urge to share it to your friends, colleagues, or even your parents and grandparents and think of it as just a shape of expressing humour. That is until this guy exists:Image 2. "A guy who enjoys memes"This guy is a character from a game called "Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance" and is called Monsoon. He's famous for the quote "Memes, the DNA of Soul". Now you might be thinking: Meh it's just a guy who enjoys memes nothing serious. Well you're also right, but then he also says this: "They shape our will. They are the culture, they are everything we pass on. Expose someone to anger long enough, they will learn to hate. They become a carrier. Envy, greed, despair... All memes. All passed along." ―Monsoon And that's when things get quite interesting. This guy isn't talking about the meme that we usually knows, but instead it's about beliefs, "doctrines", that shape human's will and culture. Memes are the basic units of human culture and consciousness that are passed on from person to person, shaping their beliefs, emotions, and behaviors. They also carry cultural information that influences human thought and action, just like how DNA carries genetic information that determines the traits and characteristics of living organisms (hence the DNA of Soul thing). And this also explains the next thing: if you're exposed to an environment filled with malice, anger, and hate for a long time, you will most likely develop something like an anger issue and filled with hatred. If you're exposed to an AI tool long enough, you'll also learn how to make imaginary waifus exist in your screen, and make a POV where you (not)accidentally launch a mega pint of milk on them and make them feel good(?), enough to make the "government" applies a filter that's somehow not internally tested yet, and this results in even non milky waifus to "not feel very well" and disappear in a snap of a finger. And that is why ladies and gentlemen, keep your image generation "clean" and safe for now so you can enjoy your waifus long term. Well enough yapping. In the end it doesn't even matter, memes are therefore seen as the building blocks of human culture and identity, and as such, they are essential to understanding the nature of human evolution and social dynamics, and understanding memes can help us comprehend the nature of human evolution and culture (such as... comedy, yes, good old comedy).  Thank you for reading this part of REYApping. Oh and please try REYAMix if you have credits to spare, and roast me in Discord if it's crap (spoiler: it is). Okay this is the end, for real. Thank you and see you next time(?).
