    Base Model

    A base model that (IMO) dose anime, 2.5 and realistic pretty well and should compatible with most Illustrious stuff. Have fun 😁

    one of the most stable checkpoints that delivers high-detailed images with high quality, expecially good at portrait types of images.

    Thank you, love your work btw

    expresonafaceJul 18, 2025

    can you name checkpoints that are not good at portrait type images?

    FuturabbitJul 18, 2025

    expresonaface I dont want to point our the disadvantage of any model, and you misunderstood me. I mean this checkpoint can generate extremely good portraits compared to other ones.

    expresonafaceJul 18, 2025

    Futurabbit How will i ever findout then without something comparing how extremly good is extreamly good? If a newbie find all the model he tried with portriat to be extreamly good? So what makes this one extreamly good?

    FuturabbitJul 18, 2025

    expresonaface I don't understand... Why are you commenting all this? What is your expectation and why you want me to do what you expect? XD

    expresonafaceJul 21, 2025· 1 reaction

    Futurabbit Curiosity, you mentioned something usual as unusual and probed to find if there is weight to the words and not empty or faulty flattery. While in the process, perhaps imparting a usefull thought process.

    expresonaface I don't think I have the obligation to make a list of models I've tested and claim that this model wins under a certain condition, and I don't have the obligation to please you for your unreasonal provocation :P. If this comment disturbs you at the beginning you are welcomed to ignore it

    It can't be used anymore?

    mrg747Sep 5, 2025· 4 reactions

    sadly it didn't make into the top100 this week. Check this news: https://civitai.com/changelog?id=84 Let's hope for the next week (even tho I doubt it). The real hope is that phinjo, its creator, comes back. I tried keeping it up into the top100 but I'm poor with yellow buzz and it's so hard to stay behind other donors xD

    @mrg747 wtf from 200 to 100, what happened to the owner?

    mrg747Sep 5, 2025· 4 reactions

    @shirowlol His last post is dated 15 days ago on his second account. I guess he's just busy. Hopefully he'll come back

    mrg747Sep 5, 2025· 5 reactions

    For now I'll use WAI + Ri-mix which is always available, but I guess the results will be a lil different

    shirowlolSep 5, 2025· 6 reactions

    @mrg747 i'm also trying to look up for a common result, but nothing similar to what i get w/ a-mix + other loras i use. fk this update though.

    ziqxxxSep 5, 2025· 5 reactions

    @shirowlol i used prefect illustrious xl v3 and almost got similar result, but depending on the lora you use tho…

    It's back—A-mix [Illustrious], currently the most outstanding online checkpoint merging tool for anime, 2.5D, and realistic styles on the Civitai platform.

    Brilliant checkpoint with high prompt adherence. Creates a ton of detail even at lower step counts. You get some beautiful renders even without a LoRA stack. Thanks for this @phinjo

    @ironrod2547688 not really if the checkpoint has baked-in VAE

    Still one of the best checkpoints available.

    The images are very detailed. The style is 2.5D-ish but it handles anime very well. It produces much more detailed anime style images than Hassaku, Nova, WAI, JANKU, etc. both for characters and backgrounds.

    The proportions of characters strike a very nice balance between mature and childish as well.

    Only downside would be the limited number of characters and artists, as well as the inability to create clear, sharp backgrounds.
