Style Tuning Tips:- Add <code>"anime"</code> and/or <code>"anime style"</code> to re-enforce a more anime style.- Add <code>"realistic"</code> and/or <code>"photorealistic"</code> to swing more towards lifelike results. - leave both out for the default look. Recommended Defaults:- Steps: 25–40- CFG: 4–6- Sampler: DPM++ 2M Karras or Euler A- Clip Skip: 2- Resolution: Portrait 896×1120 or scenic 1024×1536 Upscale or face fix for mid distance and further. Most of the showcase images were created with a basic workflow and no upscale. Look at those for my personal settings. Things only get better with extended workflows! Experiment and share! As always - respect the original model makers licensing and the Civit TOS._____________________________________________________________________________________<h1 id="celestreal">CelestReal</h1>Anime ↔ Realism Fusion (JANKU v4 + Babes Illustrious V4 FP16) + LoRA EnhancementsA finely tuned fusion that captures the charm of anime and the depth of realism in one versatile model.---<h2 id="base-model-merge:">Base Model Merge:</h2>• <a target="_blank" rel="ugc" href="https://civarchive.com/models/1277670?modelVersionId=1772645">JANKU v4.0 – “NoobAI EPS + RouWei Illustrious XL” by janxd</a>•<a target="_blank" rel="ugc" href="https://civarchive.com/models/1134825?modelVersionId=1740703"> Babes Illustrious V4 FP16 by Stable Yogi</a>LoRA Enhancements:<a target="_blank" rel="ugc" href="https://civarchive.com/models/1350877?modelVersionId=1809575">• TrendCraft – The People’s Style Detailer (Noob/Illustrious Base) by janxd</a>• <a target="_blank" rel="ugc" href="https://civarchive.com/models/1128288/dramatic-lighting-slider-illustrious">Dramatic Lighting Slider IL by klaabu</a>This merge adheres to the original licensing and usage terms of all source models and LoRAs.
