Welcome to Perfection Realistic!
This is an Illustrious XL merge with a bunch of hand-selected checkpoints and LoRAs to improve the base model's realistic capabilites.

And wow, does it deliver!

Also available on mage.space.

It's focus is on creating high quality, photorealistic, but slightly exaggerated images with a focus on women.

Do not use the Normal scheduler. Use Simple or Beta!

Use euler_a, dpmpp_2m_sde or dpmpp_3m_sde as your sampler.

To use the faster low-step settings, you need to use the DMD2 LoRA. This allows you to use 8 or 16 steps and generate very fast. Remember to generate in 2 passes, either using "Hires fix" in Forge/A1111, or by creating and chaining a second sampler node in ComfyUI. A sample workflow if included in the sample images of the model. Use this as a reference.

Each sample/preview image contains the used workflow. Here's a quick article with simpler more beginner-friendly workflow. This is a recommended starting point.
