There are detailed changes below the next paragraph, you might need to expand this version changes box!
I learned a few new things about creating LoRAs and wanted to see how far I can push my existing LoRAs without changes to their datasets (well... not quite for this one, see below). So there's still no support for alternate outfits, colors etc. for now, sorry! There are other LoRAs if you want those things. Not sure if I'll improve the LoRAs more than that in the future or make new ones but who knows.
LoRA Changes:
Now uses the standard "cynthia \(pokemon\)" instead of a custom trigger word to make things easier for everyone (please note though that the LoRA itself is still named "character_pokemon_cynthia_vX" as before!)
Switch to 32 dims (now trained directly instead of resizing from 128)
Switch to target weight 1 (increased from 0.7)
Changed a lot of training settings (too many to list, check LoRA metadata if you are interested) and updated to much newer scripts version (~3 months worth of changes)
I had to remove four images from the dataset as they confused the new training too much. As a result, some details for full-body shots as well as side shots might sadly become a bit worse in general and especially for close-ups. Hopefully not much else gets worse.
Example image changes:
Use CLIP skip 2 instead of 1 as I accidentally did before
Change settings for hir-res fix: Switch upscaler from None to Lanczos and increase denoise from 0.1 to 0.4 to get better results while still not changing TOO much
Use a negative embedding for the majority of negative prompting
