    Big Love Klein3 is also offered for $10 on Tensor Art. You can get Big Love Eryn1, Ultra5, Photo6, Zuna1 or Zia1 for $5.50 and Gwen1 or Hyper1 for $10 on Fanvue. Click 'Follow', buy a post, check your Fanvue DMs! A subscription includes the latest release and new ones within 30 days. Any problem? Contact me via chat.

    To create up to 85 free images per day in highest quality you can use Big Love here. For discussing photorealistic image generation join me on Discord.

    Big Love Klein is a fine-tune of Flux 2 klein. It can do txt2img and also edit images with prompts. It only needs 4 steps, so is quite fast. Check the "About this version" box on the right for info on the individual variants. Some are up to 3x faster.
    It is recommended to use it with ComfyUI. Put the downloaded model into the diffusion models sub folder of ComfyUI. You also need qwen_3_8b_fp8mixed.safetensors in the text_encoders sub folder (Qwen3-8B-Q5_K_M.gguf wth 8 GB VRAM) and flux2-vae.safetensors in the vae sub folder.
    Settings are 4 steps (2 steps for upscaling), cfg1, Euler sampler, Beta scheduler, 832x1216, 1024x1536, 1280x1920 or 1536x2240 pixels

    Big Love Gwen is a finetune of Qwen Edit 2511 and can do NSFW image editing. It produces more realistic and sharp images with better skin texture & genitals than other Qwen checkpoints/loras. Txt2img is less reliable, but generates nice results too.
    Big Love Gwen1 allows commercial usage without additional fees (if no auto-generation involved) unlike Big Love Klein. With its better anatomy it is easier to get good editing results. As fast at 6 steps as Klein at 4 steps. Check the "About this version" box on the right for info on the individual variants.
    It is recommended to use ComfyUI. The Gwen1 workflows offer a skin enhance feature that is not available in Forge Neo. Move the Gwen1 model file into the diffusion_model sub folder of the models folder of ComfyUI, qwen_2.5_vl_7b_fp8_scaled.safetensors into the text_encoder sub folder and qwen_image_vae.safetensors into the vae sub folder.
    For training a lora read here for Gwen1.
    Settings are 6 steps (3 steps for upscaling), cfg1, Euler sampler, Beta scheduler, 832x1216 or 1024x1536 pixels.

    Big Love Eryn is a fine-tune of Ernie-Image(-Turbo). You can run it locally with ComfyUI and Forge Neo. The fp8 version works with 8 & 12 GB VRAM. Use the (pruned) bf16 version if you have 16 GB VRAM or more. The "Full" versions are only meant for training a lora (coming soon!). Put the downloaded model into the diffusion models sub folder of ComfyUI or the StableDiffusion sub folder of Forge Neo. You additionally need to place ministral-3-3b.safetensors in the text_encoder sub folder and flux2-vae.safetensors in the VAE sub folder.
    Settings are 4-6 steps (3-4 steps for upscaling), cfg1, Euler sampler, Beta scheduler, 832x1216 or 1024x1536 pixels.

    Big Love Hyper supports generating at image sizes of 1664x2232 (4 megapixel) and higher with SDXL. Can be easily upscaled to 9 megapixel unlike the normal low-res images. Hyper currently has not fully stable anatomy, so needs more runs. Some prompts work better than others. It produces highly detailed and life-like images close to real photos. It has a special quality that cannot be achieved by just upscaling. The Hyper versions of Big Love are pay-only and special license conditions apply (see below).
    Settings are DMD2 lora with strength 1.0, LCM Exponential, 8 steps, cfg 1, clip skip 2, 1664x2432 or 1536x2240. Upscale with img2img with DMD2 lora with strength 1.0, same prompt, LCM Exponential, 1.25-1.5x, 4-8 steps, cfg 1, 0.3-0.5 denoise, clip skip 2.

    Big Love ZT, Zia or Zuna are fine-tunes of Z-Image(-Turbo) on the Big Love dataset. You can run it locally with ComfyUI and Forge Neo. The fp8 version works faster with 8 GB VRAM but produces more noise so may sometimes look more realistic, but details are not as good. Use the (pruned) bf16 version if you have 12 GB VRAM or more. The "Full" version is only meant for training a lora. Put the downloaded model into the diffusion models sub folder of ComfyUI or the StableDiffusion sub folder of Forge Neo. To make Big Love ZT/Zia/Zuna work you additionally need to place qwen3_4b.safetensors in the text_encoder sub folder and ae.saftendors in the VAE sub folder.
    Settings are 8 steps, cfg1, Euler or DPM++ 2s a RF sampler, Normal or Simple or Beta scheduler, 832x1216, 1024x1536 or 1280x1920 pixels. For upscaling 8 steps, cfg1, Euler sampler, Normal or Simple or Beta scheduler, 1.5x upscale.

    Big Love Ultra supports generating at image sizes of 1280x1870, 1360x1984 and higher. Can be easily upscaled to 6 megapixel unlike the normal low-res images. More photorealistic and detailed. A special quality that cannot be achieved by just upscaling. Ultra produces more details & sharpness when upscaling and detailing low-res images. The Ultra versions of Big Love are pay-only and special license conditions apply. See below.
    Settings are DMD2 lora with strength 1.0, LCM Exponential, 8 steps, cfg 1, clip skip 2, 1280x1864 or 1360x1984. Upscale with img2img with DMD2 lora with strength 1.0, same prompt, LCM Exponential, 1.25-1.5x, 4-8 steps, cfg 1, lora strength 1.0, 0.3-0.5 denoise, clip skip 2.

    Big Love Photo and Insta1 are finetuned versions of XL. Lust1 is a finetuned version of Lustify merged with Photo. They were trained on thousands of images and dozens of new concepts. Why they are the most realistic and versatile. For more details and prompting Photo1 read this article.
    Settings are DMD2 lora with strength 1.0, LCM Exponential, 8 steps, cfg 1, clip skip 2, 832x1216 or 1024x1496. Upscale with img2img with DMD2 lora, same prompt, LCM Exponential, 1.25-1.5, 4-8 steps, cfg 1, lora strength 1.0, 0.3-0.5 denoise, clip skip 2.

    Big Love XL is a combination of 5 different training branches of SDXL: original SDXL, bigASP, NatVis, Anteros and Pony. With a bit of Pony in it, some Pony loras (poses, characters) work too. It outputs a more photorealistic & creative look than the Pony versions and can also do paintings & cartoon.
    Settings are DMD2 lora with strength 1.0, LCM Exponential, 8 steps, cfg 1-1.5, clip skip 2, 832x1216 or 1024x1496. Upscale with img2img with DMD2 lora, same prompt, LCM Exponential, 1.5-2x, 8-12 steps (XL1/XL2), 4-8 steps (XL2.5-XL4), cfg 1, lora strength 1.0, 0.3-0.5 denoise, clip skip 2.

    Big Love Pony produces different images than both Pony & SDXL-based models. Pony tags are understood, but interpreted a bit differently. Some images lean more in the one or other direction depending on the prompt. It works with Pony loras as well as normal SDXL ones. It can turn anime/cartoon into photorealistic images in img2img. Pony3 includes a bit of Illustrious.
    Settings are DMD2 lora with strength 1.0, LCM Exponential, 8 steps, cfg 1-1.5, clip skip 2, 832x1216 or 1024x1496. Upscale with img2img with DMD2 lora, same prompt, LCM Exponential, 1.5-2x, 8-12 steps, cfg 1, lora strength 1.0, 0.3-0.5 denoise, clip skip 2.

    Training a (character) lora
    My advice is this: Take 10-30 high quality images (at least 50-100 for styles or poses), download OneTrainer, click the SDXL lora preset, choose Big Love as the base checkpoint, add your images as a concept, add tags on the Tools tab, and start training. If you train on Big Love Ultra change the training resolution to 1536 and provide 1248x1832 images.
    You will only get the full Big Love quality by training on real photos or extremely photorealistic images, which is usually not the case with a fictional character. It is all about image quality and not choosing boring images. Don't add posing images to a character lora, because Big Love provides the posing later for it. Focus mainly on good portraits with a few upper and full body images. Rather fewer higher quality images than a lot of average images. Read here for traing a lora on Big Love ZT2, ZT3, Zia1, Zuna1 or Eryn1.

    Fixing Anatomy
    If you want to keep the seed and repair anatomical problems in an image, activate the Extra checkbox in A1111/Forge and set Variation Strength to 0.01 to 0.1. Then generate until anatomy is fine. In Comfy there are sampler nodes that support variation seed (e.g. Inspire Pack), which do the same thing. Also possible to change steps or add commas to the prompt, but I do not recommend it. Extra/Variation Seed is more powerful and convenient as it gives you endless variations with just one click. There is always a variation which looks similar or even better with great anatomy.
    You don't need negative prompts for this. They are rather ineffective. You can also change the positive prompt to suppress things. Anatomy problems are also created by the prompt if you prompt contradicting poses that the model cannot combine. Better to fix the prompt first then.

    Reducing Saturation, Warm Colors and Sharpness
    These SDXL loras reduces the saturation and change the color temperature without reducing image quality. The lora strength defines the effect. Negative values increase saturation or add more warmth. To make an image softer use a lower strength for the DMD2 lora, e.g. 0.95, 0.9, 0.85.

    Big Love Hyper/Ultra/Photo Sizes

    Big Love Hyper supports these image sizes:
    1664x2432 (recommend)
    1536x2240
    Big Love Ultra supports these image sizes:
    1360x1984
    1280x1872 (recommend)
    Big Love Photo supports these image sizes:
    1024x1496 (recommend)
    832x1216
    You can also use the 16:9 or 2:3 versions of these image sizes as well as landscape orientation, but the above should be more reliable.
    The higher the image size, the lower the probability of good results. If you get too many problems with a higher image size, switch to the lower one. Some prompts do higher sizes fine, some do not. Do not use a lower image size than the recommended one, otherwise image quality will be lower. With higher image sizes anatomy problems occur too often.
    Remove fill words and unusual tags in the prompt. They can cause a quality reduction with Big Love Ultra/Hyper as they were not trained. Shorter prompts should work better as it is less likely that bad or untrained tags are in it.

    SFW Output - No Tits Please
    "Is there a trick so that Big Love doesn't always generate raised shirts or visible breasts?" I get this asked so often, while it is so obvious. Big Love knows what men want so it gives it to them. Negatives don't work that well for it. So you got to speak to it in the positive prompt like you were taking to a nun. "Breasts? How dare you speak such an obscene word to me." Don't mention breasts or any of these sexy parts. Instead describe clothes a lot. Don't write down your impure thoughts. God forbid! Yeah, I know, so hard. Describe her body shape, which also implies certain tits underneath the clothes.

    XL Prompting Advice
    SDXL prompts & prompts from various SDXL checkpoints work with it. Pony prompts too, but they create a more photorealistic look. Natural language prompts tend to create artistic glamour images with less skin detail while normal tags do more photo-style images. Big Love XL gives individual words more attention, so you don't need to rework prompts like Big Love Pony requires sometimes.
    XL1/XL2 has a tendancy towards cuteness and bright skin. If you get too much of it, remove words like cute, sweet, pale/fair skin & flash from the prompt. It also creates realistical analog photos with reduced image quality. Sometimes better to remove terms like analog or grain to increase quality. Decrease cfg to get a more natural look.
    XL2.5 can sometimes get too sharp. Reduce cfg or use less steps in img2img to make images softer.

    Pony Prompting Advice
    Pony prompts & prompts from other checkpoints work with it. Score tags and fill words like masterpiece or perfect skin have as good as no effect usually. A negative prompt is often unnecessary unless you want to make something vanish or avoid underage, but it can also change the style of the image.
    Pure booru tags and some other samplers may produce Pony style. Photographic terms or a simple prompts ensure a photo look. Sometimes it refuses to produce medium shots, portraits or close-ups unless you weigh the term heavily or remove feet, shoes, high heels, boots etc. from the prompt. wavy hair sometimes does not look so great.
    If it refuses to do porn, try simplifying the prompt. If you want to do a portrait, don't describe surroundings too much. If you want to do porn, describe the action mainly and don't focus on the people or surroundings in the prompt. The largest part of the prompt should be about the main subject of the image.
    If a prompt does not produce the intended image, you often only need to modify it a bit to make it work perfectly.

    Using Character Loras
    Big Love Pony supports Pony characters, but they look like real humans. There were some complaints about them not working, but the problem was not the model itself so far. So here are some tips:
    * Try Pony as well as SDXL character loras
    * Use a lora weight up to 1.5 if it does not reduce quality
    * If it is a well known character, add the name in the prompt and also give it a higher weight if necessary.
    * Check your negative prompt for problems. Delete it if necessary and rewrite it from scratch.
    * Render a lot of images to be able to pick those with the best resemblance.

    More SDXL Photorealism:
    You can highly improve the images generated with this model by using img2img, upscaling, detailing etc. The SDXL Lightning lora enhances the look and constrast despite only 8 steps. Alternatively, the SDXL DMD2 lora produces a sharp, but more natural look with less contrast. Also check out the Subtle Style loras, which nicely enhance images.

    Big Love License

    Big Love SDXL versions are licensed under CreativeML Open RAIL++M, the Big Love Z-Image, Ernie & Qwen versions are licensed under Apache 2.0, and the Big Love Klein versions are licensed under the FLUX Non-Commercial License with the following additional terms:


    For clarity, the following version tiers are defined:
    Restricted versions: Ultra, Hyper, Klein, Zia, Zuna, Eryn, Gwen
    Open versions: Pony, XL, Photo, Insta, Lust, ZT

    1. You may use Big Love without crediting the creator.
    2. You may sell the images that it generates.
    3. You may only run the official Big Love versions of the SubtleShader account on Civitai and Tensor Art. Running it on other public or shared servers commercially (including other Civitai and Tensor Art accounts) requires a separate license or permission from the creator.
    4. You may not sell this model or merges of this model.
    5. You may not merge, share merges of, or share LoRA extractions incorporating Restricted versions. You may merge and share merges of Open versions.
    6. When sharing the allowed merges of Open versions, as well as finetunes of them, you must apply these same additional license terms.
    7. Redistribution of Restricted versions is prohibited. They may only be obtained from official sources designated by the creator.
    8. All use-based restrictions of the CreativeML Open RAIL++M license apply to SDXL versions and their derivatives. All use-based restrictions of the FLUX Non-Commercial License apply to Klein versions and their derivatives.
    9. Any restrictions in these additional terms may be waived only with explicit written permission from the creator.

    TLDR: This is basically the same license as before (just stated more clearly), so nothing changes for the Pony, XL, Photo, Insta, Lust and ZT versions of Big Love. However, restrictions were added for Ultra, Hyper, Klein, Zia, Zuna, Eryn and Gwen versions (no merging, no redistribution). The "Share merges" condition below the license on the right hand side was only deactivated because of the restricted versions. Merging is still allowed for the open versions.

    Many thanks to the creators of SDXL, Z, Qwen, Flux klein, Pony, bigAsp and Lustify for making their wonderful models available. Big thanks to RaymondLuxuryYacht for allowing me to train on his fabulous images.

    It is the first file on the list where it says "Pruned Model nf4 (6.04 GB) ... GGUF". It is a Q5_K_M GGUF.

    Sorry, but Civitai offers no GGUF terminology why you have to choose something like nf4.The "Pruned/Full" stuff is also a leftover from SD1.5 times.

    Civitai's Early Access is separate for each new release. You do not automatically get a new Early Access version if you bought an old one. So yes, Klein2 will require extra pay. If you use my subscription option on Whop, you get all new releases within a month. Civitai does not offer subscriptions.

    First of, thanks for making these great models, they really generate beautiful images. I really like the lust1 version and was wondering if you had any plans of creating/releasing a lust2 version (merge with Photo 5, for instance). Also, since Forge Neo now supports Klein, do you still advice against using the Klein version in Forge?

    SubtleShader
    Author
    Feb 17, 2026

    Lust1 was not that popular, so no version 2. Feel free to do your own merge.

    I have to look at Klein1 in Forge Neo again. It rendered a lot faster than Comfy, so I suspect that it uses a shortcut that reduces quality. Hopefully a update will fix it. I prefer Forge over Comfy, but if there is such a big quality difference, I have no other choice.

    GuideboFeb 18, 2026

    @SubtleShader Thanks for the quick reply and info. Too bad there will be no lust2, but maybe one day I'll try to merge myself when I learn about merging models. I also prefer Forge to ComfyUI (less of a headache, lol), but I indeed see a quality difference between the two. Maybe I should try to find a good and easy/simple workflow for ComfyUI that is as user friendly as Forge Neo (one that includes an ADetailer like face fixer, upscaler and lora nodes).

    If you want to use your lora with Big Love ZT3, don't train on Z (Base/Turbo) or another Z checkpoint. Train on Big Love ZT3. Z is not as flexible as SDXL in this regard.

    OneTrainer Instructions

    Download the BigLoveZT3_deturbo.safetensors version of Big Love ZT3 to train a lora on Big Love ZT3 with One-Trainer. Choose the z-Image DeTurbo LoRA preset in OneTrainer. On the model tab click the ... button next to Override Transformer / GGUF and choose the downloaded BigLoveZT3_deturbo.safetensors. Add your concept and click Start Training.

    Please note: OneTrainer has 512 resolution set on the training tab. If you have 24 GB VRAM, you may want to set resolution to 1024. If you want to train 1024 resolution with 16 GB VRAM, use the z-Image DeTurbo LoRA 8 GB preset and set resolution to 1024. In both cases it will take longer to train.

    AI-Toolkit Instructions

    Choose the Z-Image De-Turbo (De-Distilled) option in AI-Toolkit. Then in the "Name or Path" text box replace ostris/Z-Image-De-Turbo with SubtleShader/Big-Love-ZT3-De-Turbo-Diffusers

    General formula for steps:
    Image count * 100 epochs / batch size
    So, 25 images * 100 epochs / batch size 2 = 1250 steps. Save every 10 epochs (every 125 steps here) and compare the last few saved versions.

    With a batch size above 1 calculate a new learning rate as
    lr = base_lr * sqrt(batch size)
    For example: 0.0001
    * sqrt(batch size 2) = 0.00014

    Please note: Do not activate Cache Text Embeddings if you want to use a batch size above 1. Otherwise it will error out. Deactivate sampling as it takes too long & does not show you how it will look with ZT3.

    hello, First off z3 is amazing, somebody really knows their art. Just wondering as far as the lora training for z3...is it possible that you can make a video tutorial whenever you have free time. More of a visual learner. If so, thanks a lot in advance

    Just want to confirm. Downloaded the new ZT3 model, trained locally on a 3060 with the instructions above (took about 4 hours with 37 images) , so far it is one of the best ZIT + character generation tools I have used.

    @virustotal Nice to hear! De-turbo is certainly better than using the adapter. It is similar to base. Unfortunatelly not possible to convert turbo to base AFAIK, so de-turbo is the closest.

    TezozomoctliFeb 20, 2026

    @Kierkegaard420 Can i ask you, what did you put in the "Override Transformer/GGUF" textbox? leave it blank? What did you put in the VAE override? Also blank? When you selected the Z-Image Turbo config were there any other changes you had to make in order for it to work(not talking about personal choices like optimizers/steps)? Thanks!

    Even better, it would be amazing if you shared your config because I keep getting an error when I try to run it.

    @Tezozomoctli I don't remember any override options. I use the default UI settings and only make a few changes. What exactly does.not work? Copy and paste the error into a LLM and it will usually tell you what the problem is. My config is optimized for 32 GB VRAM. Not sure if helpful.

    DynelementsFeb 20, 2026

    Hi ya, I bought the model off of Civit, so it's just the safetensors file, not a zip file, How do I get that to work with AIToolkit please? Or where can I get ZT3_deturbo_diffusers folder? Thanks.

    @SubtleShader Everytime Onetrainer says "NotImplementedError: Loading of single file Z-Image models not supported. Use the diffusers model instead. Optionally, transformer-only safetensor files can be loaded by overriding the transformer." Even though I made sure to unzip the files and put them in the diffuser folder. I pasted the entire error into gemini/chatgpt and they both told me to make numerous edits in your model_index file and other config files, telling me to change the architectures and transformers (Qwen2Model/Qwen2Tokenizer/Qwen3ForCausalLM). After constantly following gemini's instructions and copying and pasting new errors again and again, it eventually even told me to delete your text_encoder/transformer folders entirely and replace them with the default ones from the official z-image huggingface page. There's no way that could be right, so I just stopped. Im gonna reinstall Onetrainer again. I'm probably just making a silly syntax error somewhere.

    @SubtleShader Hi, one quick related question: After training a LoRA on the DeTurbo diffusers version in AI-Toolkit, what BigLove ZT3 version(s) should (or could) that LoRA ideally be used with for generation (DeTurbo diffuser/safetensor or also the regular Turbo ones)?

    That's a great model. But I wonder if there's any sampler or scheduler that can make skin texture a little bit less SDXL like, as in the raw base Z-image.

    SubtleShader
    Author
    Feb 20, 2026

    Which of my models do refer to? Ultra4? I actually like Photo/Ultra skin texture better than Z. Besides Photo/Ultra are optimized for DMD2, so more comparable to Z turbo than Z base.

    Ok! I'll try to use Ultra as a second pass on Z-image! Thank you!

    for the SDXL models, why not just bake in the DMD Lora?

    SubtleShader

    Feb 20, 2026· 1 reaction

    There are around 8-10 reasons. I mentioned them in another comment a few months ago. One reason: DMD2 has a non-commercial license, SDXL has not. Another reason: Not possible to train anymore if baked in.

    SLACK69Feb 20, 2026

    @SubtleShader ah, i see.. i don't commercialize my models, but for the extreme early access some people love to max out as much as possible it makes sense you wouldn't merge it. would you upload a DMD merge after the early access ends? i can merge the models myself to make it easier to use, but some people have no idea about the benefits of DMD for image quality and accuracy so they use these models without DMD thinking they can get just as good of a result

    also DMD2 is not always preferable. In fact I use it very selectively only

    Feb 24, 2026

    @kunde2 Yes, you can also reduce its strength for more or less softness/sharpness. Much more versatile if not merged.

    Future Big Love Plans

    What started with SDXL has grown into something much bigger and much more complex. Expanding across multiple model architectures means more possibilities, but also more obstacles, more experiments, and more late nights figuring out why something refuses to work.

    Where others might reach for Thor's hammer, I prefer Leonardo's chisel. Great work not always comes from destruction and reconstruction. It comes from patient refinement, from finding what a model already does well and coaxing it further.

    Anyway, here are some short comments about my plans:

    Photo6/Ultra5:
    In addition to new concepts I plan to improve old ones with lora merging. Will also train more amateur style for improved realism.

    Hyper1:
    Based on Ultra but trained on higher 2048px resolution

    Klein2:
    Enhanced default lighting and finally train image pairs to make editing more "naughty".

    Mini1:
    Klein 4B gives a lot of trouble. Seems BFL made it very hard to train. Still learning what works & what not. Will still take some time.

    ZT4:
    Will try to finetune the de-turbo version for better pussies & more realism. Keep your fingers crossed that it will work!

    ZB1:
    Unfortunately Z-Turbo is not compatible to Z-Base. So I might try to come up with a Z-Base compatible "turbo" version.

    Chroma1:
    I gave up on the idea. Too slow, clumsy poses, low fine detail quality. Does not inspire.

    The road ahead is long, but the passion driving my work is longer. What keeps the Big Love project moving forward is a genuine commitment to pushing quality further with every release. Stay tuned and as always thanks for the support!

    Add a Load Lora node (double click background and type "Load Lora") and put it right after the Load Diffusion Model node. Connect output & input of both. Hold down the Shift key to drag all output connections from the Load Diffusion Model node to the output of the Load Lora node. That's it!

    What model do you refer to? I hope you don't mean Z with its slim barbies. So far I only trained fat asses into SDXL and fat tits with the Insta1 version. But the knowledge is in there. Try fat, plump, thick, obsese, curvy or any of the other 20 synonyms. Something will work.
