Ultra-Realist Style

This lora is an aesthetic style blending the characteristics of gpt-image-1 and Nano Banana Pro. I particularly like the realistic skin detail, but digital illustration style both can achieve with the right prompting, and wanted to bring this local. Staring this journey I am using Z-Image-Turbo. I wanted to see how trainable it was, on top of what sort of high frequency details it was capable of (a lot of early images, and vanilla generations are very compressed looking.)

Trigger

The dataset uses a purely style-based tagging system using mainly photographic terminology besides the trigger prefix ultra-realist style, ... You can caption for realism as you normally would with or without triggers.

Realism:
ultra-realist style,
Anime Realism:
ultra-realist style, hyper-realanime aesthetic,
ultra-realist style, anime style,
Environment:
hyper-realist style, ultra-detailed cinematic environments,

Weighting

The lora works well at low, and higher weights. A good threshold from testing is 0.5 - 1.2 where higher is a stronger digital illustration effect.

Dataset Info

The Ultra-Realist beta lora is based on a SFW dataset. Suggestive themes/gore/blood was omitted from synthetic generations. That being said, it is just a style lora, and applies to whatever context you're prompting for. It just may not have the best results in the aforementioned.

Description

Changelog:

Dataset expanded by ~25%
All images have been manually color corrected and balanced, bringing out richer backgrounds, canceling out diffusion-based hazy backgrounds.
- gpt-image-1 sepia bias has been removed.
All images have been manually in-painted to remove obvious artifacts
Dataset Captions expanded upon (support for more common quality descriptors)

Known-Issues:

Ultra-realism applied to text, it's a little harder to bring about "marker" like hand-drawn lettering.
Face paints, etc, on distant character faces isn't as coherent as base turbo. It's likely existing painted faces/details were learned as organic details of environment then patterned/designed characteristics.
