Appreciate the update! cant wait to try. you should just leave the colors balanced or alone whatever. people could just edit in post tbh.
Why this model keeps getting taken out of generation?
CyberdeliaĀ understood
What is the difference between ALT?
Hope this makes it into the cut this time around. It's at No.18 right now so fingers crossed. Honestly mate, your models are top notch.
It's a significantly cool model, very happy with it. It's fast, high quality, somehow manages to do some level of facial consistency given the same prompt. Just 1 question: I find it hard to give faces expressions. Any tips to address that?
First, I want to say that this is maybe the best model that follows prompts perfectly and has amazing realism. It was sad to see, however, that version 6 has problems with "penis" in the prompt and is not very good at that, compared to version 5. Hope you will fix it. Otherwise - thanks!!!
Great variety on ethnics with the more recent releases. <3
Cool
The feeling you get when you realize that your favorite model has two new updates <3
Thanks for this!
This model is the best!
V6.0 Alt (better color balance for sure) is my favorite IL checkpoint, amazing quality! āāāāā
While i am a traditional SDXL enjoyer usually mostly, this one gives very fun results and has made me like Illustious more and more, really like how it takes my prompting style and makes cool stuff. I mean.. who would not like cool stuff?
Again, thanks for your amazing checkpoints! A hero of the community among some other people here, you are all like Checkpoint Avengers or something. :P
Sending cosmic good karma reflections through space-time to you. ^^
this model generates messed up eyes and teeth for men
I noticed that too. Try putting "bad teeth" or "ugly teeth" in the negative. Not perfect but I think it helps. If you try "perfect teeth" in the positive it makes a cheesy grin lol. Otherwise just re-rolling until you get a decent set of teeth is all you can do? Hopefully it gets fixed in future versions.
This model is way too much fun! I am loving CyberRealistic Flux for top tier photo-realism... but I can keep coming back to this model for the pure fun factor and range of styles it can create. The best part is no lora's are needed to get amazingly diverse styles with unique and interesting results. And it's fast!
Hi
how do I keep the same character between generations?
Use a character Lora or an TI like https://civitai.com/collections/9670053
Love the model, great realism, but everyone's got a cleft chin. I think that was really over sampled, literally everyone I make has a cleft chin even when they're not supposed to have one.
This is the best realistic illustrious model so far. Both prompt recognition and realism are top notch
Thanks, I appreciate these kinds of comments :)
It draws everything, except what is demanded in prompt.
It draws everything, except what is demanded in prompt.
this model (v6alt) looks and works great - until it doesn't. 95% of the time it IS an upgrade over v5, but sometimes it produces garbled messes or actual abominations depending on the prompt, whereas v5 doesn't with the same prompt. so it's a mixed bag imho.
Amazing work! I've been using your model for quite a while now. I just noticed the CyberRealistic Pony version got it fp32 model. Can we expect the same fp32 files for illustrious models too?
This is really great, however I do run into an issue where the legs can appear too long in some situations, and prompt coherence takes a hit when it happens as well.
It's mostly a technical issue that can be fixed by changing some parameters before inference.
- Try smaller resolution, then upscale.
- Try Tiling and Iterative Upscaling techniques if you want to achieve higher resolution in one run.
- Try shortening width or height according to the direction of the elongated leg.
- You may also try Regional Prompting or Masks
- Using an IP-Adapter or Style Guide may also help.
Does this need CLIP SKIP 2 or 1?
It doesn't need it.
This checkpoint would be amazing with better prompt adherence...
The current model (v6) is heavily degraded since v3 version. It looks like a pony merge, unfortunately
thanks for the info , let me know if you know more, did you also test the pony and SDXl version of cyberRealistic model, which are the best ones?
@pink0909Ā SDXL
@dagrin Well, itās not. No ponies were harmed in the making of this checkpoint.
@CyberdeliaĀ ok i will try it again, but i had bad experience with SDXL and Pony (this blurry shaky camera look no mater what i tried so i concluded sdxl is just fake 1mpx xD (when done without highres fix) i came from SD15 where i never needed highresfix for good quality, i used cyberrealistic+ lcm there all the time, on SDXl i was forced to try the "normal" samplers but they sucked too.
Yeah, I'm still using v3.5
@sutikkukunĀ I will see what has changed after 3.5. Maybe I can dial down some training.
@pink0909Ā there is a SDXL version optimised for DMD2 (Catalyst version). Maybe try that
@CyberdeliaĀ I love your finetune! But with every next version, it is less "illustrious" and it seems it forgets concepts. v3.5 is less stable for sure, but v6 just isn't capable of some things that were possible in v3.5. I mean fantasy related concepts. It's leaning into photorealistic 1girl, but the essence of illustrious is lost.
@sutikkukunĀ try the new version :) i just released it
Are all the versions of this model still based on Illustrious v0.1? Or different versions use Illustrious v1.1 or v2?
might be revealing my power level, but this info might be useful to someone else.
if you want to gen futanari, start with a male and feminize it. you get much better results than if you try to add a dong to a woman (usually gives you 2 people, instead of just 1 futa).
it seems like we are trying to convert text into logic into pictures
Any new updates on the illustrious models? possibly fp32 version?
thanks!
Yes, don't it will be fp32. But there will be a fp16 + optimized dmd2 version
@CyberdeliaĀ Cool thanks
@CyberdeliaĀ can you train a BF16 version? Other creators ( @Stable_Yogi ) are using this precision to build their checkpoints because it's not as resource-intensive as FP32, and the checkpoint file size is the same (6.6GB). BF16 has almost the same performance as FP32, but with the file size of an FP16 checkpoint.
