This series is focused on women and the female body, in every kind of setting or style. It can do fine art, social media style, surrealism, cinematic, and pornographic very well. The main goal is to have as much diversity as possible in an SDXL checkpoint. Diversity in ethnicity, body type, faces, posing, personality, and locations.
The VAE is baked in. No loras were used for the sample images. Only Hi-res fix and Adetailer, on some images.
If you like it post your creations!

General Series Details
Indigo Bold V12
Create crisp clear images with the ability to adjust color saturation levels by increasing CFG. It is best at hyper-realism and can handle fantasy images equally as well as photorealism. Indigo Bold is temperamental with settings. Different steps, CFG & samplers will drastically change the images that can be generated. Try the CFG at 6.0 to see what I mean.
Diversity of ethnicities
Specify an ethnicity, facial expression, eye color for more unique people
Very good at hairstyles
NSFW & SFW fully clothed images
Great at female anatomy
Very nice textures & patterns with or without prompting
Very good prompt adherence
Diverse vocabulary, try new keywords and see what happens
Short prompts will generate intricate details, as will long prompts
Prompting recognizes tags & plain text
v10 soulGrip ***
Previous versions were in an experimental phase of testing checkpoints. I've developed a much more stable process that keeps all of the qualities I want, but without the bloated file size. Version 10 is the best release so far.
Better details overall
NSFW & anatomy
Unique art style combinations
Creative photo styles
Dynamic posing & rich lighting styles
Unique architecture & background designs
As usual, ethnic diversity
v9 kissShot
kissShot comes from an unreasonably long line of custom seed checkpoints. The focus of development was:
NSFW & anatomy
Amateur photo & Social media
Creative posing & lighting styles
Unique architecture & background designs
And as always, ethnic diversity
While it is within the Reality Bound series, it isn't necessarily an "improved" version of the last release. I make each version as unique as I can, while keeping the same themes. There will be a large diversity of people who prefer different versions.
This is one of my goals. I get bored easily, so I want this series, as a whole, to excel at as many different things as possible.
v8 faceSmash re-upload
This version has the exact same Unet and VAE as the fp16 clip model. However, I'm taking advantage of this situation to test my new clip model. Clip-G is Long Clip Distilled, same as before. But Clip-L is the beginning of a highly experimental clip series that I have been working on for the past month. There are 6 variations that may end up in my future releases as I continue to refine & test.
v8 faceSmash
Since the Long Clip series seems to be popular I have created 2 versions of v8 with both fp16 & fp32 clips swapped with the dull built-in SDXL clips.
fp16 version is using the Simulacrum text encoders
fp32 version is using the Long Distilled text encoders
Simulacrum has very well trained encoders that perform noticeably better than the standard.
Very responsive to quality tags:
8k uhd, high quality, masterpiece, vivid | deep | vibrant colors, sharp details, cinematic composition, soft glow, creative shadows | lightingMy tests:
Eular a for artistic gens
Eular a SGMUnifom for detailed soft skin (soft: obvious goosebumps)
DPM++ SDE for extra crisp details (lower steps/CFG) (crispy: intricate skin details)
DPM++ 2s a for dramatic skin texture and details (Hyper-realism)
Using a different scheduler for generation and a different scheduler for Hi-res fix can give beautiful results. Try a crispy start with a soft finish.
Pushing my models to reach "overwhelmingly positive" status one day.

v7 gutPunch
v7 is an entirely different beast than what came before.
Female anatomy is indistinguishable from real life
Groups & multiple people are easier to gen
Improved photography & lighting variation, Vivid colors
Added cinematic composition, decades, styles & genres
Great Diversity: people, body, ethnicities, pose (lewd)
Very responsive to quality tags:
8k uhd, high quality, masterpiece, vivid | deep | vibrant colors, sharp details, cinematic composition, soft glow, creative shadows | lightingNatural language works best in short prompts
Danbooru tags work best in Long prompts
Gen settings do have a sweet spot depending on the image type. Test out different schedulers and other settings for best results.
My tests:
Eular a for artistic gens
Eular a SGMUnifom for touchable soft skin
DPM++ SDE for extra crisp details (lower steps/CFG)
DPM++ 2s a for dramatic skin texture and details (Hyper-realism)
Using different schedulers for generation and Hi-res fix can give beautiful results. Try a crispy start with a soft finish.
Both versions of v7 have the HDR VAE baked in.

V4.0 fullybound
I don't like making grand definitive statements on things that are subject to diverse opinions. So I won't tell you this version will knock your socks off. That would be presumptive.
Strong points include:
Creativity is through the roof
Background details are amazing
Realism & Hyper-realism is excellent, semi-realism is also easy to generate
Diversity is still very strong
It can handle many different styles and themes
Dynamic poses are especially dynamic
Clothing prompts work very well & very detailed
Expressions have really improved
Good skin details, eyes are better than the previous versions
Prompt adherence is good for simple prompts and sfw prompts, but may need a neg prompt
Bondage prompts...you'll see, it will not disappoint ;)
Weak points:
Some sex actions are hard to prompt for if given a lot of specifics
Fantasy creatures are ok, however fairies are very good
Hands are pretty good, but still has typical XL behavior
Multi-person images are better than most XL models, but the hands become harder to get right
Prompt adherence can go from excellent to "where did that come from?"

To force clip & vae in FP32
Forge:
./webui.sh --clip-in-fp32 --vae-in-fp32 --no-half-vae(or add the commands to your webui-user.bat (Windows) or webui-user.sh (Linux) in
COMMANDLINE_ARGS= --clip-in-fp32 --vae-in-fp32 --no-half-vaeFor all commands (many are obsolete now since the developers have made them default)
Comfy:
python main.py --fp32-text-enc --fp32-vaeI don't use Comfy, so this is what I've seen on the web. Here is a link to all commands:

Glad to see, that you're alive @ironically_irascible even only seeing you in here and not at your other place.
Reality BoundXL is 98th on the list for featured models. Thank you to all that contributed yellow buzz! I will always use it for new and better projects.
A brief note on the versions. V4, V5, V6 are high-quality realistic models. V7 and especially V8 are flops with severe "sameface" issues and Pony-like anatomy. The V9 is borderline; it has less face variety than V4-V6 and more of a sameface. V10 is back to sameface/Pony face again, but without the anatomy issues of the V8.
Please don't take this review as an absolute; different faces can still be generated with careful prompting. It's just that the later versions of the model tend to stick to the same Pony face stronger than the earlier ones.
Same face is a big problem with most XL models that use merging primarily as the creation method. I try to add variety through lora manipulation during the merge process. Which means very specific keywords are usually needed to trigger a unique face. Which is why I always use ethnic keywords specifically, expression, and adjectives related to beauty or looks.
I find your assessment very valuable. Thank you for testing so many of my models, I know that is a long process. I will look into ways to get rid of "default face" in my future models; in a more targeted process. For each version I release, at least 30 previous models are created leading up to the final version I like (so many extra models saved on SSD for potential merging later on).
My top focus is creativity in prompt interpretation, diversity of ethnic variation, realistic anatomy, and understanding of less common concepts. I admit that I sometimes sacrifice 1 strength when I see an abnormally high strength in one of the other categories. I will take the challenge you indirectly gave me for the next release ;)
THANKS! if you had to choose just 1, wich one would you pick?
Love this model! Hope v10 is even better, but that will be difficult!
While v10 is quite nice, it seems to be just a bit overfitting for an*l sex.
It's a hard balance to strike while merging. With XL, it's either really hard to get a concept to work, or way too easy so it overshadows other concepts. Like 80% of my prompts for anal sex are ignored or very difficult to get right on every XL model I've tried. Either way, I hope v10 is useful, or at least fun, to use.
Getting used to it, thanks, lots of creative negative prompts. But I like it, very nice! Thank you for your efforts.
