IllustriousMultiPassSampler

Multi-pass sampler optimized for Illustrious XL models. Designed for artists who want more control over structure/detail passes and creative composition.

What does it do?

  • Runs two denoising passes: first for structure/composition, second for fine details.
  • Lets you tune steps, CFG, denoise, samplers, and schedulers for each pass.
  • Supports adaptive tweaks for composition stability and detail sharpness.
  • Version-aware: auto-detects EPS/VPred models and applies best presets.

Inputs

  • model: Your UNet diffusion model (SDXL/Illustrious).
  • seed: Random seed for reproducibility.
  • positive/negative: Conditioning prompts.
  • latent_image: Starting latent tensor.
  • structure/detail steps/cfg/denoise: Control how much each pass shapes the image.
  • sampler/scheduler: Choose your favorite sampler for each pass.
  • adaptive_transition: Keeps composition stable if denoise is high.
  • preserve_composition: Ensures base layout stays consistent.
  • reuse_noise: Reuses noise for tighter coupling (advanced).
  • model_version: Explicitly set model version or leave on auto.
  • Version Preset Override: Force EPS/VPred presets if needed.

Outputs

  • structure_latent: Latent after structure pass.
  • final_latent: Latent after detail pass (ready for decode).

Artist Tips

  • Use higher structure denoise for loose, creative compositions; lower for tight control.
  • Try different samplers for each pass (e.g., Euler for structure, DPM for detail).
  • Adaptive transition is great for keeping the subject anchored when experimenting.
  • "Auto" model version works best if your model is properly tagged; override if you know your model type.
  • Combine with Smart Scene Generator for rich, layered prompts.

Example Workflow

  1. Generate a latent with Empty Latent node.
  2. Use Smart Scene Generator for a creative prompt.
  3. Run MultiPassSampler with adaptive settings for a painterly look.
  4. Decode and color correct as desired.
