BALAN Ultima

This model is the result of merging more than a dozen of checkpoints varying from 2D models, fantasy models, landscape models, architectural models, doll models, to photorealistic models with techniques such as block merging, LoRA fine-tuning, and DARE merging.

Most notable advantage of this model is its ability to produce image with relatively less noise yet still retaining most of its important details such as skin and textures. Additionally, through exhaustive and complex merging process, the model also capable of delivering high quality unique output using relatively simple prompt.

Tips

This model works best at around 3 - 7 CFG Scale and with minimum steps of 12 (depending on the CFG Scale, it may need more steps to get desirable result).

Due to how this model was created, this model can produce high quality images with minimal prompting, but on the opposite side (not always the case) prompt that just too complex may ruin its generations, so be more gentle when prompting (or maybe try lowering the CFG Scale / increasing the steps on longer prompt).

Try this negative embedding -> negative_hand Negative, it works pretty well with this model.
