CyberIllustrious V5 marks a significant leap forward in realism, skin rendering, and overall image fidelity. Building on the strengths of V4, this version introduces enhanced skin tones, richer colors, and greater anatomical accuracy—delivering more lifelike and emotionally resonant results right out of the box.

V5 isn't just a visual upgrade; it's a comprehensive refinement. Facial features, especially eyes, have improved structure and clarity even before applying post-process tools. Lighting behavior has been fine-tuned for more natural highlights and shadows, while subtle details like pores, fabric texture, and color gradients feel more tactile and cohesive.

As always, the choice of negative prompts and samplers still plays a crucial role in shaping the final output, especially when pushing toward photo-realism—but V5 offers more flexibility and consistency across styles and workflows.
