Hi everyone!
Another week, another update!
As you have probably noticed, I'm trying not to spam you guys every week, but surely I am updating the mega every week so if you forgot about last week - you have a double update :)
What else is cooking?
Well, I've updated my Serenity model into V2.1 over civitai:
https://civitai.com/models/110426/serenity
It is pretty much the same model as Serenity v2 with two important distinctions -> it is not possible to use it in kohya-ss as a base for training as well as convert it into diffusers (so it can be used as a base for dreambooth training using my method). Under the link both versions are available, SafeTensors and Diffusers!
I've also decided to check if there is still demand for dreambooths so I've update this collection and if I see downloads, I will be uploading a bit more in the future as well:

And lastly, I wrote a script that is very similar to BIRME but has some additional functionalities. Since my main laptop is still not fixed, I need a better way to cut the images and save it in various sizes (1024 for SDXL for instance) and this will help me greatly (sadly no SDXL this week but hopefully the next week will be better in that regard :P)

p.s. I'm also working on a script that compares the faces (similarity) and this will be a nice thing in tandem with the other thing that I've recently started checking - combining more models with various weights to see which permutations work the best (instead of doing it manually).
See ya next week (if I do not write, make sure to check the mega link as I will surely make an update regardless!)
Cheers!
