noise_seed

The noise_seed parameter sets the seed for the random noise generator, ensuring reproducibility and consistency in the generated outputs.

shift

The shift parameter applies a shift transformation to the image, which can alter its position or orientation in the latent space.

base_shift

The base_shift parameter provides a baseline shift value, serving as a reference point for further transformations during sampling.

options

The options parameter allows users to specify additional options or settings that can customize the behavior of the sampler, offering greater flexibility and control.

sde_noise

The sde_noise parameter is related to stochastic differential equation noise, which can be used to model complex and dynamic noise patterns in the image generation process.

UltraSharkSampler Usage Tips:

• Experiment with different model and cfg settings to find the optimal balance between creativity and adherence to your artistic vision.
• Utilize the positive and negative parameters to guide the sampling process towards desired features and away from unwanted elements, enhancing control over the final output.
• Adjust the steps parameter to manage the trade-off between quality and computational resources, increasing steps for higher quality results when resources allow.

UltraSharkSampler Common Errors and Solutions:

"Invalid model specified"

• Explanation: This error occurs when the model parameter is not set to a valid or supported model.
• Solution: Ensure that the model parameter is set to a valid model available in the UltraCascade framework.

"Noise seed must be a non-negative integer"

• Explanation: The noise_seed parameter is set to a negative value, which is not allowed.
• Solution: Set the noise_seed parameter to a non-negative integer to ensure proper random noise generation.

"Mismatch in latent noise dimensions"

• Explanation: The dimensions of the latent_noise do not match the expected dimensions for the latent space.
• Solution: Verify that the latent_noise parameter is correctly configured to match the dimensions of the latent space used in the model.
