if you like it... a serious follow up as a worthy heir to Realism Engine, fp8 versions and updates could be released... assuming you like it
🦁 RAION — Hyper‑Realistic Photographic Engine for Zimage Turbo
RAION is an advanced hyper‑realistic model built to surpass the Realism Engine and push Zimage Turbo to its absolute limits. It delivers a level of photographic fidelity, dynamic expression, and micro‑detail that goes beyond standard realism.
RAION is not just a “realistic model.” It is a physical rendering engine, designed to produce images that feel alive, tangible, and naturally lit.
⭐ Key Features
Photographic Realism
Natural skin, believable light behavior, accurate materials, and a RAW‑like finish without artificial sharpening or plasticity.
Ultra‑Detail Enhancement
RAION captures micro‑textures, pores, hair fibers, fur strands, reflections, and complex surfaces with precision and stability.
Dynamic Poses & Expressions
Improved anatomical coherence, motion stability, and expressive realism. RAION handles dynamic scenes, movement, and perspective with superior consistency.
Professional‑Grade Macro Performance
Close‑ups of eyes, skin, objects, and fur maintain depth, clarity, and physical accuracy even at extreme zoom levels.
Natural Color Science
Balanced skin tones, soft shadows, realistic highlights, and zero oversaturation. Everything feels organic and photographic.
Structural Coherence
Hands, faces, proportions, and anatomy are more stable and believable than previous generations.
⭐ Technical Notes (Zimage Turbo Native)
RAION is designed exclusively for Zimage Turbo and uses its native sampling pipeline:
Sampler:
res_multistepsScheduler:
simpleCFG: 0 or 1 (recommended)
Steps: 8–9 for optimal realism
This configuration ensures:
maximum stability
zero drift
clean micro‑detail
natural texture behavior
perfect compatibility with Zimage Turbo’s flow‑based architecture
RAION does not require high CFG values or heavy sampling. Its realism comes from the model itself, not from post‑processing tricks.
⭐ Philosophy
RAION is built for creators who want images that look real, not stylized. It excels in:
portrait photography
editorial and fashion
animals and fur
macro and close‑ups
dynamic scenes
cinematic realism
natural light environments
RAION doesn’t imitate realism. It generates it.

this model will have updates and slimmer versions
@JRD_2212 I'll wait, for now I have something to use, you've uploaded a lot of new checkpoints, they are not for a while , You have 39 downloads and 4 opinions, although it would be a sign of respect to make 1 image and give your opinion by giving a thumbs up.
@PrincesOfDarkness you can't teach the sense of respect to those who haven't taught it from the beginning, but it doesn't matter, I'm the one who's wrong in posting the checkpoints trained from 3500 images of datasets and weeks of work, not them :D
i'll test this out soon, but your photo of the lady with the car is quite blurry/sharp/grainy though.
The models, from mine to those trained from scratch with 4B dataset images have defects, there are no perfect models
@Melodic_Possible_582589 I have the pleasure of using the RAION fp8.safetensors version, I use the same description as the seed, and a model more suitable for my card, and I generated the image again, it is available, the difference is amazing, I got rid of the noise
Still testing but am liking it so far. It seems to give me different compositions than other models.
It's a non-merged checkpoint, which is why you get different things from other checkpoints
@wickedywak Start testing his other models, you'll be surprised by the results, of course with a +. And please add some images, so I'm not the only one on this site :)
Looking at the level of detail I can extract from the model, I don't think it has lost much quality, and the slimmed down version of the model works much better, faster :D
----------------------------------------------------------
details micro details, number of elements consistent water reflections, rain drops, dew mini hair, :)
----------------------------------------------------------
fewer tensors but identical quality means I won :)
@JRD_2212 Write it down, I'll collect x likes, I'll post the whole model in fp8:D
The leeches will have to give a thumbs up first and only then will they get it. PS. congratulations :D as you can see in the pictures it looks fabulous even on such weak hardware as mine, I still have room for loras, and the appropriate resolution :D
@PrincesOfDarkness in fact 9 likes on a trained model are very little, but we'll see, I see the fp8 works great so....who knows
@JRD_2212 let them pay first, i.e. like, and then give, yes I know, I already have it:D
Stats: 136 , 9 likes is joke , There should be 160 likes or 100 likes 60 negative if you don't like it and like this.
@PrincesOfDarkness evidentemente non piace come piace a te ed a me
@JRD_2212, RAION_fp8: Don't you get the impression that he makes absolutely clear pictures? :D I don't know how you did it, but it's Monster :D
I know how I did it but I'll tell you privately if you want 🤗
@JRD_2212 I hope you're not mad that I'm plagiarizing your photos from the model :D + I'm giving them details because this checkpoint deserves to show its capabilities
****************
I tak nic nie zrozumiem dla mnie to magia ale działa :)
@PrincesOfDarkness I'm not angry at all, in fact, you're doing well
