AniSoft 30 IL - Balanced Semi-Real Anime (Illustrious)

作者：dabasir

AniSoft 30 is the balanced setting (alpha = 0.30): anime structure with semi-real light, skin and shadow falloff.

[Recipe] Add-difference merge on UNet only: Nova Anime XL IL v19.0 + 0.30 x (Nova Orange XL REX v1.0 - Nova Reality XL IL v9.0). VAE and text encoders inherited from the base model; fp16 safetensors, no baked LoRA.

[Why this direction] PerfectDeliberate minus Nova Reality isolates a semi-realistic soft-light delta: gentler shading, photographic skin and softer transitions. Adding it to Nova Anime keeps the anime drawing and composition while the rendering moves toward a semi-real look.

[Series] AniSoft IL is one base and one direction at four strengths: 15 / 30 / 45 / 60. 15 reads as a soft anime with better skin, 30 is the balanced semi-real look, 45 leans clearly photographic, and 60 is the furthest this delta goes before the anime drawing starts to dissolve.

[Recommended settings] Euler a, 24-28 steps, CFG 5.0-5.5, 832x1216. Hires fix above 1.25x helps skin and fabric; Danbooru-style tags work well.

[Known limitations] At 45-60 fine linework softens and small details can smear; strong Danbooru tag stacks still behave like anime, not like a photo model. Illustrious-family only.
