FAQ
Comments (14)
would you reccomend a detailer Lora? If so which one
Same question for a realism adding Lora or eye detailer?
Use any that you like, mostly Illus based, not sure if pony or sdxl Loras will work.
I try and make sure that raw outputs are good and less Loras are required.
Stable_Yogi At the moment all my results look like high res paintings, they are not ugly or anything but not realistic. I added your embeddings, used the same settings, except for the steps, do more steps make it worse?
serget2Â more steps will denoise, some details maybe lost. stay under 30 steps. Share images in gallery if possible.
Stable_Yogi I just figured smth out, that I am an idiot, apparently I was NOT using this model but a much older version I did not know I had, go figure the images are much better now, except sometimes the eyes they are not always perfect, maybe I need to work on my detailer or add one just for eyes only, will post soon, the other images will probably be in the older versions gallery
Guys use this

It can handle weight upto 1.5
try it !
Stable_Yogi Stable_Yogi I am using it, if you could check the gallery under it (Damn Civitai bug) you would see a lot of my images made with it, amazing model
Very cool
much appreciated
NOOOOOOOOOOOOO
we need to bring it back...
Kindly bid on the auctions page to keep it alive for image generation.
Model is now live on generator.
Great checkpoint. This model does a great job on facial variety and doesn't suffer from rigidly making the same face every generation like some other models. The embeddings help somewhat with artifacts, but most images still need touch-ups similarly across all SDXL models.
One other thing that could use work is breast/nipple variety and versatility. It's hard to get authentic looking breasts even with LORAs in my experience.
Wenn man null AnsprĂĽche hat....
