New Release: LucentXL (untitled . pony Fine-Tuned Upgrade)
The original untitled.pony laid the foundation. This version builds on it — deeper, smarter, sharper. LucentXL is a fine-tuned and expanded upgrade, refined for improved photorealism and generation fidelity across a wider range of prompts and styles.
🔧 Key Improvements:
New name, same roots – renamed based on community feedback, while keeping lineage intact.
Fine-tuning on enhanced dataset – expanded with additional photorealistic and ethnic-specific material for broader diversity and realism.
Improved sampler compatibility – tuned to perform exceptionally with
DPM++ 2M Karras, giving more stable and natural output with less tweaking.Increased token comprehension – upgraded text encoder awareness and prompt reactivity.
Ethnicity-aware – better representation and understanding of diverse facial features and cultural cues.
Precision detailing – finer control over eyes, lighting, skin texture and tone.
Block weight adjustments – internal tweaks to balance realism layers without oversaturation or hallucinations.
🔧 Settings
Local Generation
Sampler: DPM++ SDE
CFG: 2.5 - 4.5
Steps: 20+
On Civit
Sampler: DPM++ 2M Karras
CFG: 2.5 - 4.5
Steps: 25+
🔍Upscaling (Latent)
Method: Latent
Resize: 1.5x
Denoise strength: 0.5
Steps: 15
📝 Latent upscaling benefits from the model’s own internal fine-tuned understanding of lighting, skin texture, and soft anatomical detail, giving a natural enhancement without introducing artefacts or plastic smoothing.

b1.0
Untitled is an experimental hybrid checkpoint built for users who want better control, clarity, and prompt consistency across stylised and semi-realistic generations. It's flexible, designed for creators who know what they want and want it rendered clean. It also features enhanced token adherence, improving its ability to accurately interpret and respond to a wider range of prompts
This checkpoint performs significantly better in local environments due to sampler and backend limitations on Civitai. Prompt interpretation, lighting response, and shape consistency all benefit from proper sampler use.
🔧 Recommended Settings
✅ On Civitai (Web UI):
Sampler: DPM++ 2M Karras
CFG: 4 – 6
Steps: 20 – 35
✅ Local Use (e.g. A1111, ComfyUI):
Sampler: DPM++ SDE
CFG: 2 - 5
Steps: 20 – 35
Works well with ControlNet, IPAdapter, LoRAs, and realism-focused workflows.
Still experimental. Expect occasional variation — but when it hits, it hits clean.
Feedback and test images welcome.

Nice picture
inpainting sampler and setting plz
For upscaling use "latent" with 0.5 denoise, 1.5x and 15 steps. Others is best to figure out yourself :)
Excellent checkpoint!
new fave :)
top tier model, love it
Thank you :)
I am very happy with this model! It creates very real looking results on human skins. Specially for adult content, its very useful.
Beautiful

It doesn't say on the page. Is there a default resolution/image size to start with or that is recommended?
I see that the recommended resizing settings is .5 denoise and x1.5 in size. Is there a way to do this with a lower denoise and bigger size, say by x2? If I go lower on the denoise the image is blurry, but at .50 it's enough to change the image a bit when resizing. Also, going bigger than x1.5 it distorts. Thanks!
I recommend using Latent upscale. You can go 4x if you want. The denoise and steps are adjustable depending on the image.
hi, why model is not working anymore?
Hi, it happens from time to time with CivitAi, auction didn't seem to register or go through
klaabu okay so its gonna work in the future? haha Because I love your model! Its so realistic, but I dont know how to use it outside civit. Thank you for respond!
Babubibo it will be available in 6 days. If you need help setting up local generation or rent GPU, feel free to reach out in Discord :) happy to help
awesome
Love this model, I am using it to make realistic people. The only issue I have is the number of fingers. It really loves 3 fingers and 6 fingers. Is there a way to prevent this or stop it from happening so often? It happens a lot.
Hei @rmarkjr , try and add "deformed, missing fingers" to the negative
klaabu Hey! thanks for the reply. I should have included that. Here is my negative prompt: man, men, penis, smooth skin, big head, round face, big forehead, double chin, wide face, small face, (straight hair:1.3), (flat hair:1.2), text , earrings, letters, numbers, (missing fingers:1.45), too many fingers, close up, moles, wet hair. pony tail, bad anatomy, fat, chubby, bright eyes, bad proportions, blurry, cartoonish, deformed hands, missing fingers, extra fingers, fused fingers, poorly drawn hands, disfigured face, distorted features, double vision, exaggerated facial expressions, floating limbs, glowy skin, grainy, gross proportions, lack of detail, low resolution, low quality, missing eyes, mutated hands, out of focus, poorly drawn face, semi-realistic, surrealism, text, watermark, worst quality, unrealistic eyes, unnatural skin texture, visible artifacts, warped face, bad car design, deformed car, unrealistic vehicle, distorted wheels, extra wheels, missing headlights, warped body, cartoon
rmarkjr thats little too much.
Start with this " bad quality, low quality, deformed, 1boy, penis, text, watermark, signature" - from here, only add things you dont want to see :)
Noob version? 😁🙏
Pros: noob and illustrious have strong prompt adherence, and has very good hands.
I really don't know. Is it breathtaking or mindblowing? Probably both. And more. I'm mightily grateful to you.
❤️ you
refuses to train character LORAS of real faces here on civitai,.. all my many attempts to use this checkpoint for such LORA training using Civitais training section, miserably failed so far. Would You have an helping recommendations for Civitai Lora Character Training here with your otherwise real amazing checkpoint Lucent B20 this maybe?
Hei. I can help you with LoRA training overall for characters, but im not 100% sure how Civit trainer feeds settings back to the backend. Reach out through discord and ill help you :)
I'll send 10k yellow , so you can mess around more ❤️
@klaabu Can you send it to me too?)))
Amazinng !!!
but i'll love some help to get the caractere not looking at the camera ... i realy strugle with that checkpoint
Hei @Fluffy_Pic thank you 😊
Try "eye_contact" in negative with "looking at viewer" and add "looking away" to positive
@klaabu mMmghh I try thos, but still very very hard :-/
maybe some lora i use push the checkpoint to make the charactere looking at the cam
@Fluffy_Pic im not sure. I personally haven't had this issue, but I do know that most checkpoints and including mine are biased due to the traininf data
@klaabu yeah that what I notice ... in many image used the girl looking the cam ... ^^"
dont use the word portrait. use photograph or photo
@phildoeshair1 hooo i'm gonna try that !
in pony use "eyes closed" and it fixes this (but then they have their eyes closed)
Just awesome!
Just awesome
is there anyway i can train a realistic real person LoRA on this model?
You can train a realistic consistent character on any model. Ive had success with Kohya locally, never trained a model on a service but I'd assume its the same. I can give advice on how I did it if you wanna hmu sometime, but I will warn that I am still learning.
@victory_cat I'm kinda new to this, been generating a lot of images with the same "person" ltealy. It's kind of hard to randomize it, any tips?
@tiberiusgraco666857 sorry I am late, was having GPU issues haha, assuming you have the same person and art trying to get more angles, one of the best methods Ive found for that is to generate video of the character with wan 2.1 or 2.2 and then extract frames. The size will probably be a little bit off, you can directly upscale or personally I like to pass them through Qwen or a similar generate to make some changes. I.e. trying on different outfits and stuff like that, which can really help to make the lora more robust.
@tiberiusgraco666857 If you are directly getting the same character with a model and you are trying to get more difference, I would recomend either going with a massively different prompt, i.e. change the race or something like that, or just try a different model. A lot of times this happens because a character gets "over baked into the model" so like the creator of the model might put too many examples of the same character in the model, and all of the sudden boom the character is appearing in every image.
Awesome model..!! I love how versatile it is. It adheres to my prompts and does not distort with any Loras I use. As far as my favorite models go, it's in a 4-way tie for 1st alongside
ponyRealism_V22MainVAE
ultimateRealismXL_v10
cyberrealisticPony_v130
I hope to see more.

*euler_dy_negative is by far the best sampler (that perhaps, you've never tried)
@braxusbae284 thank you for the great review! I indeed have not tried this sampler, will give it a go!
Been playing around with generation the past week and this was the only checkpoint that I was able to generate truly realistic images. Thanks a lot.
Thank you @tiberiusgraco666857 ❤️
