Mangled Merge V3 has been a labor of love side project for some time. I finally feel it's strong enough for a new iteration. It is great with 2D anime style AND realistic images. It also brings a lot of style with it.
Usage: Mangled Merge V3 has a custom VAE built in to control contrast and brightness in order to handle both 2D and realistic styles. It is strongly recommended to keep the VAE set to automatic. As far as CFG settings, 7 is the sweet spot, but you can explore between 4 and 10. Self Attention Guidance is recommended, but on a scale between .1 and .3. Anything more can give it too much detail.
Hands and faces can still be an issue from far distances. I suggest adding [:highly detailed face, highly detailed eyes, highly detailed hands:.20] to help alleviate this. This model does much better with high res fix. Odd resolutions MAY give it some trouble without having it enabled.
