Im still stuck in the past with SD1.5 on A1111, because my GPU is dogshit and all the other UIs Ive tried are either too complicated or too dumbed down.
SDXL can be very accommodating with TeaCache and the current most popular checkpoints (Illustrious) are based on SDXL. They have photo-realistic branches of it now, worth checking out
Don't forget to check out illustrious's derivative model nꝏbai , it can also do furries (if you care for that sorta thing) !
There are some really good sd1.5-based models even by current standards, though. Nothing wrong with that.
It's all about getting a good workflow set up. That's why i wish I could make sense of comfyui, but alas it still eludes me.
InvokeAI lets you use an A1111 style interface or nodes-based workflow. Unfortunately, it isn't compatible with ComfyUI workflows. I haven't really done much with nodes, but I want to experiment more and figure it out.
The basic design is to create a small image of what you want, upscale that image, then run that image through the model again to fill in the details (all in one workflow). You can also just copy someone else's and change the prompt lol. Can usually just drag and drop an image into ComfyUI if it was created with it, it retains the whole workflow. I cannot stress how important the upscaling is, it's pretty amazing the details that it creates
