NVE, or Neural Variational Encoder, is a term that is not directly related to the context of generative images. It appears that there may be a confusion with VAE (Variational Auto Encoder), which is a significant concept in the field of generative images. Below is the information related to VAE.
VAE (Variational Auto Encoder)
A VAE (Variational Auto Encoder) is a file that you add to your Stable Diffusion checkpoint model to get more vibrant colors and crisper images. VAEs often have the added benefit of improving hands and faces.
- Washed-Out Images: If you’re getting washed-out images, you should download a VAE. Sometimes you don’t even realize what is ‘washed out’ until you see the alternative.
- Built-in VAEs: Technically, all models have built-in VAEs, but sometimes external VAEs will work better than the built-in one.
- Best VAEs: While it seems like there are many VAEs out there, in reality, 90%+ of VAEs are just renamed versions of the following:
- kl-f8-anime2 VAE (for anime)
- NAI/Anything VAE (for anime)
- vae-ft-mse-840000-ema-pruned (for realism)
- Note: Keep in mind, some models already have the VAE built-in. For example, Anything VAE is built into the Anything models, so applying it will not have any effect.
VAEs are essential in the field of generative images, providing enhanced visual quality and realism. They are widely used in various applications, including anime creation and realistic image generation.
