Civitai Newsletter Issue #2

Civitai - Discord

Welcome Civitans, to the second issue of the Civitai Weekly Newsletter! Our mission is to keep you in the loop with everything Civitai. This is your one-stop resource for all the latest updates and developments.

This week we’ve seen such an exceptional response to our first Contest (see below!) that we’re launching a second Contest to run concurrently - details to follow very soon!

We’ve also just released a new customizable Civitai.com homepage, merch store, and made huge updates to the Collections system - details below!

Thanks for subscribing!

Our SDXL Training Contest is generating a ton of exceptional content (556 SDXL 1.0 resources!) and has been so popular that we’re excited to announce that we’re extending the contest!

Due to the huge amount of interest, and that the community is constantly refining the training process, we've decided to extend the deadline to August 31. All the same rules and guidelines will still apply, the only thing changing is the end date.

There are extraordinary prizes up for grabs! We've curated an array of 21 awesome rewards that truly recognize and appreciate your engagement and efforts.

• First place: RTX 4090 GPU

• Second place: 16TB External HD

• Third place: 2TB NVMe SSD

• Fourth place: $50 Steam Gift Card

• Fifth, sixth, and Seventh places: 6 month of Civitai Supporter tier

The contest is running now, until August 30th at 11:59PM PST, and the full rules and details are available here!

Every week, we shine a spotlight on noteworthy resources and creators that have piqued our interest or presented exceptionally intriguing content.

From creator Fictiverse comes a beautiful LoRA which creates fantastic little voxel scenes - sure to be a favorite for MagicaVoxel fans!

NeriJS brings us the CUTEST SDXL pixel art model - really showcasing how well SDXL can learn styles and concepts!

• SDXL continues to impress, and we’re stunned at the explosion of models the community have been releasing! Check out the SDXL models on Civitai!

  If you’re not sure how to get started with SDXL, we have a guide to help you make the first steps, and a new SDXL Training overview, with helpful information and tips on getting started training models for SDXL!

• You may have noticed a new landing page for Civit. The new homepage is totally customizable by you! Check out how!

• Collections are now visible on your profile page. Better yet, you can follow these Collections or have people follow yours, so you can personally curate models for others! Here’s a brief walkthrough!
