# Ilustrious-Nova-V3-TIES (God Tier Merge)

**Ilustrious-Nova V3** represents the pinnacle of merging technology using **Task Arithmetic (Delta Merging)**.

Instead of mixing models like paint, we extracted the "knowledge vectors" (deltas) from **IllumiYume** and **NoobAI** relative to **SDXL Base 1.0**, and surgically injected them back together.

## The V3 Recipe (Gene Editing)
* **Canvas:** SDXL Base 1.0
* **Vector A (Style):** IllumiYume v3.5 Delta (High priority in Output Blocks)
* **Vector B (Anatomy):** NoobAI XL v1.0 Delta (High priority in Input Blocks)

### Why V3 is Superior?
* **No "Washed Out" Colors:** Since we add vectors instead of averaging them, the saturation remains pristine.
* **Distinct Knowledge:** The model distinctly knows "How to Pose" (from NoobAI) and "How to Color" (from IllumiYume) without blurring the two concepts.

## Recommended Settings
* **Sampler:** Euler a / DPM++ 2M SDE
* **CFG:** 6.0 - 8.0
* **Steps:** 30+
* **V-Prediction:** ENABLED
