NOTE: If using on the generator, I highly recommend ticking: Enhanced Compatibility
as prompt, the following is much better with this model.

And my Realistic Illustrious model
If you like this model, check out my New Photo Realistic Illustrious model on the generator: https://civarchive.com/models/1255024/jib-mix-illustrious-realistic
I will try to keep this model in the onsite generation list.
I try and look at every image you post and award 80-120 buzz to images I really like.
This is a Merge model of many of my favorite realistic SDXL Models (and some more artistic models put in for style and consistency) and I really like the output it makes.
Recommended settings:
Sampler: DPM++ 2M Karrass
Steps: 8-35
CFG: 2-5 (I Often use CFG 3)
with DPM++ SDE you can go as low as 4 steps. with a CFG of 2.2
Version 16 Aphrodite:
More photographic realistic default look.
Increased background details
Better Prompt following
Better tasteful NSFW nudes without hurting detail too much
Version 16 Aphrodite XXX:
Much Better NSFW capabilities at the cost of some loss of detail and art styles.
Version 14:
A modest increase in details and contrast.
Recommend
Version 13:
After the very poor launch of SD3 I decided SXDL still had more to give and bring you this improved merge I have been tweaking for a good while now. FP32 version coming soon!
This version seems to benifit from a lower CFG than previous versions 2-5 CFG seems good. (2.7 seems the sweet spot for portraits)
Version 12:
This version has better brighter colours and contrast plus better prompt following.
Don't forget to also check out my new Pony Model: https://civarchive.com/models/515034/jib-mix-pony-realistic?modelVersionId=598011
This is likely to be the last SDXL model merge/finetune I publish as SD3 will be out to tune Next week!
Version 11:
Bringing you another merge of great models I like and doing 100's of A/B tests to pick the model that gives the best images. This is not a lightning model as I prefer quality over speed.
This is likely be my 2nd to last SDXL model merge/finetune I publish as SD3 will be out to tune soon.
and also tested them quite a lot with the the new Hyper Lora (8 Step).
Version 10: Is merged with the SDXL Lighting Lora. (If you want to do non photographic artworks like Watercolours, you should stick with version 9 I think.)
You need to use a CFG of :CFG: 1-2
and can use steps a low as: Steps: 4-8
and DPM++ SDE Sampler is best.
Version 9: Merged with some good prompt following models, much better male bodies.
Version 8: I have merged with some models newer models, tried to work on skin texture (but it is still not where I want it to be) and increasing the background details in images.
Version 7: I have merged with some models that claim to have improved Prompt Adherence (you still needs some cherry-picking of images, it is no Dalle.3) and some other new models with styles I liked the look of.
Version 6 has better/more detailed backgrounds and higher image contrast as well as some better NSFW capabilities. It also seems to give a wider variety of poses and image variations.
Version 5 has been merged with a few different SDXL eye Improvement Loras and several NSFW Loras. then merged back with older versions of the model and some Anime and Artistic models to bring back the artistic capabilities.
Version 4 incorporates newer released flexible models and seems to improve composition, skin texture, and artistic styles.
Version 3 incorporates hassansdxl_v10 NSFW model at a low 0.15.
And improves NSFW generations without affecting (probably Improving) overall consistency and artistic flare.
Version 2 incorporates
RundiffusionXL_beta
Colossus Project XL
and improves skin texture and overall composition.
Version 1 is a Merge of:
JuggernautXL_version6Rundiffusion
realvisxlV20_v20Bakedvae
wowXLV2_v2
Thinkdiffusionxl_v10
nightvisionXLPhotorealisticPortrait
MOHAWK_v14
It is quite good at NSWF , prompting (boobs out) (naked) will usually be enough, but can be improved with the https://civarchive.com/models/117603/finenude
Lora to add better detail.
Finally, a few recommendations for the settings:
Sampler: I like the Heun Sampler but it is slower than most.
Steps: 30-40
CFG: 6-7 (Often use CFG 7 but 6 can look a bit pleasing/natural for photo-realistic images.)
Including: "35mm photograph, film, bokeh, professional, 4k, highly detailed" gives very good skin details in portraits.
I like to put the token (Bokeh) In the negative prompt to remove some blurring and improve the image.
Most of my sample Images have used the SXDL Styles Selector on the Photographic prompt injection setting.
I like to give all my output images at least a 2x upscale with img2img with high steps and a 0.15 - 0.6 Denoising strength.
Some times I the do a 4K upscale with Ultimate tiled upscale script extension.
Description
This version has better/more detailed backgrounds and higher image contrast as well as some better NSFW capabilities. It also seems to give a wider variety of poses and image variations.

Tested many checkpoints but yours by far out performs many for my use case. Thanks amigo :)
Thanks, I appreciate those remarks.
Just to confirm: v6 is an improvement/upgrade of v5, which was an improvement/upgrade of v4, etc... In other words, if we use v6, it includes all the benefits of all the previous versions as well? It's just confusing when next to the version number is a title that causes us to believe it's specific to a certain focus/theme, and that we need to download all of them to get those specific benefits. Thanks!
No, I do believe I have tried to make it additive, for example: in my testing if I have added more NSFW capabilities and I notice that it cannot do artwork as well anymore I will go back and merge in more art checkpoints until that is fixed. the version title is more about what has been improved in each version not only what it should be used for. I hope that makes sense? Your mileage may vary!
Many of these prompts are 2560x2560, is this multi-stage processing (img2img, etc.) or some other setting that doesn't show in the prompt? Basically when I try to copy the prompt in A1111 it is not coherent starting at that resolution.
Yes, they are all Generated at 1024x1024 and then upscaled in img2img to add detail. I rarely ever do any inpainting etc.
So none of the sample images are actual samples of how to use and prompt this model?
For example I can't get the checkpoint to generate this drawing style as shown in sample 15.jpeg in five-ten trials.
A1111 starts to generate something that is not even similar to the sample and then OOM-s.
Some of the generation data contain either SD1.5 LoRA-s (15.jpeg contains epiNoiseoffset_v2) or unknown LoRA-s (1.jpeg says lora-sdxl-perfect-eyes: e9062485f1a3) - there are 2 perfect eye SDXL LoRA-s I've found quickly, and none of them with this hash.
So sample images are cool and beautiful by themselves but they are not in any way or form representative samples of how to properly use the checkpoint (how to prompt it).
@aa956 They look very similar on the first 1024x1024 pass i just like to make them larger with a 2.5 upscale and a low denoising strength it doesn't effect the output drastically in the majority of cases. Sorry not sure which image you mean? The prompt stays the same when I upscale so it shouldn't make a difference.
Does not seem possible to replicate https://civitai.com/images/4589488
Result of the generation copy is here, not even a hint of painting that is so prominent in the sample:
https://civitai.com/posts/1082917
1. Settings copied from the sample image (tried both copy generation data button and/or download image and get PNG info in a1111 -> result is the same).
2. Image size set to 1024x1024 instead of 2560x2560
3. Hires fix disabled
4. Optional: delete SD1.5 LoRA epiNoiseoffset_v2 (result is the same for both variants, looks like default install of A1111 does not use SD1.5 LoRA with SDXL generation - maybe some extension missing?)
Image metadata shows that this LoRA was used:
https://civitai.com/models/13941/epinoiseoffset
As noted before, beautiful image and cool effect.
Unfortunately while showing what is possible with the model samples do not show how to use the model to achieve similar effects.
@aa956 Ahh... it took me a while but I have just sort of figured out what happened. I was playing about with the Dynamic Prompt extension in Automaitic1111 to get some more variations (I would recommend it) and it somehow seems to have grabbed the Generation data from another image in the set when I uploaded this one! (I will have to do some more experiments to see if I can replicate it again). The actual Prompt was similar but different:
"high fashion painting, analog photograph, faded colors, full body pose, stylish hair, haute couture, fashion design, high fashion, titanium white Coloured dynamic dress with some natural elements, glamour photograph, eclectic colors, lace, beautiful woman in a prophecy , color pattern decorations, slim slender, dreamy painting style, funky fashion style, short modern hairstyle, beautiful face, detailed facial features, roughness, film grain, soft light, glow light, photorealistic, realistic, post-processing, max detail, on a . ((boobs out)) , (naked) in a shoulder peek, off-shoulder attire, revealing a hint of skin, adding an alluring touch pose"
I'm guessing it is the "titanium white" and "prophecy" words in the Prompt giving it a more painting style.
I'm sorry about that, I have not use the Dynamic Prompter extension before and didn't know that this could happen with the incorrect generation data.
@J1B No problem, just seemed such a cool effect that I wanted to play with it.
Thank you, and I'll try to run my own experiments too :)
