Great LoRA! This rocks! ❤️❤️
i am happy, if you like it
After playing with this for about an hour it appears to work quite well, and this model definitely fills a gap in the existing library. Thanks for creating!
thanks for using it larry :)
Its not seamless at all. Too strong style.
Make some styless lora, like Expressiveh, which works with every model.
I’m sorry to hear it’s not working well for you. I haven’t had any issues myself :( and no style is truly seamless - not even ExpressiveH
@roxin282 Its working, but have very strong style effect. I use a realistic model, and the style overrules everything.
@knowledgecaiden251 well… that could definitely be true. but like i said, i don’t really know any LoRa that doesn’t influence the style in some way. i’ve even reduced the steps and tags here on purpose, just so the LoRa doesn’t override everything stylistically. and if that doesn’t work in your realistic setup, then yeah — that’s a bit annoying ;)
@roxin282 Ok, i revidiate my statement. I tried only with 1 strenght.
With 0.3, on realistic model the results:
it doesnt hurt the realism,
more lifelike person(that would be the goal of this lora), little emotion difference, but more lifelike, less uncanny,
better poses! Hehe
Thanx for the buzz, but i cant use it. Im on daily account.
@knowledgecaiden251 then spend it to some users which images you like or other creators ;) and nice to hear, that it's not a desaster
@roxin282 Its bad, i cant spent for my fav creators(you need acc, more than 24 hours). I dont generate online.
Maybe i will keep this acc. Thanx.
I ready like this Lora, it allows me to add a nice pastel coloring that I find hard to get with other Loras and adds a softness to the face I really like. I definitely plan on incorporating it more into my gens. I cant wait to use it more and see what else it can do.
thank you @toesmetal
This makes emotions stand out very well. I found mixing two supported emotions to work well together and faces seem to have more detail in when combined with other styles. It seems to have a very strong effect so i would recommend starting at a lower weight if you want natural looking expressions.
Thank you for trying it out and for your feedback, Bunnyboi! 😊I’m really glad the LoRA is useful for you!
I'll reiterate what most have said here. I've played around with the LoRA for a few hours now (Mostly with 2D checkpoints). It's a great LoRA for adding more exaggerated and expressive faces. I'll probably add it from now on to my images as I like to focus on facial expressions and emotions.
That said, there's a very distinct style added into this. You can definitely see Roxin's style in this LoRA if you set it from 0.8-1. If you are a fan of their style, its not really a problem at all. But if you want the checkpoints style to show through I highly suggest setting the LoRA to 0.5 and under. Cheers! And have fun creating those new images!
The training data contains images that correspond to each facial expression, so it is easy to choose by looking at them.
Very lovely lora : )
thank you @jsyu
Hello, I'm trying to generate images with this Lora and it appears as a private resource!!
Same here. Were generations disabled?
hmm looks buggy. i did not edit anything but i'll check it
looks like ALL newer LoRa's are labeled private atm. Please write a short Support Ticket at Civitai. Perhaps they are starting to wake up lol
Holy shit, this model is an absolute game-changer. Even at low weights of 0.1-0.3, it does a phenomenomenal job of cleaning up faces while preserving the artstyle.
This is especially helpful to those of us who don't have Adetailer installed, cause it does everything you need for fixing faces and boosting expressions, but in a lightweight, easy to install lora
Thank you for the incredible work that I'll use in nearly all of my gens from now on
thanks @Ratat0skr i am happy if its helpful <3
Absolutely love this Lora, use it all the time now. Can't get enough emotions in pictures
It's an excellent Lora and I love it and use it regularly. But it has one drawback : it turns all characters into a woman!
Reduce the weight to max 0.3 for men.
Screws things up no matter what weight I use. Im using illustriousXL and electroworld style lora.
Love this LoRA. Many generations fail to make any change to the facial expression no matter what else I try. Throw this in and put some combination of what you've got here, at low weight, and boom.
I hope even more expressions are added someday, but even if not, what we have here is amazing. Thanks!
The effect is great, but it has a huge impact on the art style.
im a bit late to the party but great lora. i cant just plug it in and be done with it since it changes how the model interprets my prompt but using it on a second and third pass works wonders.
