    A NSFW SDXL-Illustrious model that produces photoreal images with much greater flexibility and scene composition prompt adherence than any other photo/real models I tested so far, including realistic pony models.

    ADetailer to fix faces is needed at times (not always), especially for people in the distance

    Hera

    Based on my finetune of Illustrious v1 and a number of realistic loras. It delivers almost photorealistic images and retains booru tags prompt understanding of Illustrious.

    Use Eauler A for more creative output that sticks to the prompt, DPM++ SDE for more realistic look.

    Photoreal - V0.2

    Long time in the making. Hybrid of iLove Aphrodite and Big Love with sprinkle of custom Loras. CLIP 100% from Aphrodite.

    Weaker character knowledge than Artemis & Aphrodite, however, look and feel of real photography. Good variety of faces.

    Artemis

    More realistic than Aphrodite with almost the same level of prompt adherence. Better faces, better lighting.

    Aphrodite

    Less real than the V0.1, however, it follows prompt like a book. Sometimes quality tags (masterpiece, best quality) help to improve prompt adherence, sometimes not.

    All provided images are with the same seed (1), no cherry picking.

    Use DPM++ SDE with Karras for best image quality & prompt adherence.

    I haven't observed any glitches in my tests yet.

    Use Adetailer for faces in distance.

    Photoreal - V0.1

    It is by no means perfect. Sometimes it produces glitchy results and artifacts. It requires ADetailer to fix faces at times (not always), especially for people in the distance.

    However, when it hits, it hits perfectly. And it is very naughty. :D

    This model is a result of nearly 3 months of testing various Dare & Ties merging technics, where more than 1TB of test data has been generated so far.

    I wanted to create a model that understands booru tags, knows (some) concepts provided by amazing illustrious XL and produces photoreal images. In other words, I wanted a NSFW SDXL model that would provide greater adherence to complex prompts from scene composition perspective.

    The complex multistep (~5 steps) MBW Dare & Ties merge included the following models:

    Enormous respect to the models creators.

    Parameters

    For realism: DPM++ (2M, SDE, etc.), Karras, Exponential

    For a smoother images: Euler A,

    CFG: 4 - 7

    Prompts

    Keep it simple if possible. Excessive quality tags ruin composition adherence. Only put necessary tags in the Negative prompt.

    Description

    Much more stable than the Photoreal v1. Character knowledge is reduced, unfortunately, due to the merge with SDXL (Big Love). However, the illustrious CLIP is preserved (the same clip as in the Aphrodite).

    Try DMP++ SDE for more realism, or Euler A for more creative output.
