A realistic layer mix of several schnell models (shuttle 3.1, shuttle 3.0, schnell base) picking the best layers from each to produce an aesthetic model.

v5.1 (photo) - More photographic fine tuning

v5.0 -adds in yet more fine tuning

v4.0 - Not published

v3.3 - adds in some minor fine-tuning

Don't forget to tip! Models like these take a lot of work to wrangle. Tip me some buzz!

NAG!

I highly recommend trying NAG with this checkpoint https://github.com/ChenDarYen/ComfyUI-NAG?tab=readme-ov-file

It gives you back control over negative prompts and can really increase the realism.

Recommended settings

Euler - Simple scheduler - 4 steps - CFG 1.0, using more steps = more details.
