FYI VAE IS BAKED IN
Version 3 has https://huggingface.co/madebyollin/sdxl-vae-fp16-fix baked in.
RealCartoon-XL is an attempt to get some nice images from the newer SDXL. It still is a bit soft on some of the images, but I enjoy mixing and trying to get the checkpoint to do well on anything asked of it. This model level is definitely pushing my computer, so takes a bit longer to actually get it things tested and mixed :)
The mission is the same of the SD1.5 versions. Which is to get a checkpoint to pretty much do well on prompts while looking good with good variety
I hope you all enjoy it! Please review and share your images. I very much appreciate the support with the downloads and feedback (THANK YOU ALL). Never thought it would get this much attention.
The Process:
The starting checkpoints for merging were a couple of top ones of course (The checkpoints do/did not have restrictions on checkpoint mergers. Some of these are in my recommended resources as well). I also baked in the VAE (sdxl_vae.safetensors).
Currently this checkpoint is at its beginnings, so it may take a bit of time before it starts to really shine. I will continue to update it as time progresses...but I do hope you all enjoy it as it develops.
The Settings:
Still figuring out SDXL, but here is what I have been using:
Width: 1216 (normally would not adjust unless I flipped the height and width)
Height: 832
Sampling Method: "Eular A" and "DPM++ 2M Karras" are favorites.
Sampling steps: 30 - 55 normally (30 being my starting point, but going up to 55 and even 60 a lot of the time)
Hires.fix settings: Upscaler (R-ESRGAN 4x+, 4k-UltraSharp most of the time), Hires Steps (10), Denoising Str (0.34 - 0.45 normally), Upscale (1.5 or 2 does well)
Clip Skip: 2
Some settings I run on the web-Ui to help get the images without crashing:
set COMMANDLINE_ARGS=--medvram --no-half-vae --opt-sdp-attention

Description
Well, this checkpoint was well overdue for an update. Overall I was liking the results and I hope you all enjoy! I love all the images that were shared with the previous version and hope this version does well for you all as well.

I love your SD1 models, and I'm sure this has been asked before but any plans to make a pony version? I'm sure this style would suit it so well!
edit
my prayers have been answered 🙏
Well...in case you did not notice: https://civitai.com/models/618329/realcartoon-pony?modelVersionId=691249
;-)
@Draftsman yes! I was on that as soon as he posted :) even posted some sample images, it's a great model!! Was a lovely surprise
Hi there ! Sort of regret V6 (as so far I only generate onsite) which had a somewhat western art oriented style, this V7 has a more anime/manga rendering.
Enjoyed testing my prompts against V7.
- Gave me a golden roll with only a few tries on the sad robot prompt and put the creepy figure behind the tree in the other prompt
- Treats nano tech carbon plate armor as ARMOR and not as a bikini (not that I mind, but you know)
- And the chibi Cthulhu is just too adorable
Amazing! I don't know how you did it, but you topped v.6! Any plans for a ridiculously huge 13GB model, because I would download that too.
Хорошая модель,послушная, мало багов с частями тела 10х10
Fooocus = straight arms = best
Почему mdjorny не выкладывают на паблик? потому что они для генерации используют реальные изображения, находят подходящие изображение а потом прогоняют его через нейросеть,все это можно реализовать в FOOOCUS
I absolutely love this model but it seems to be heavily biased towards making very muscular man xD
This model loves pink hair 😂 Great model I love it
a new way of generating :))))
Новому способу генерации без разницы на размер картинки,все зависит от модели и количество шагов,4K-30,Steps = 14 sec
С функцией улучшения лица, конечностей занимает 1 минуту, берется лицо увеличивается улучшается иставится на место
One of, if not my favourite 😉👌
:)
Hi! This is my prime checkpoint, very good and beautiful and lora friendly.
Only problem, it cant do NSFW even with loras.
It would be awesome, if you continued the realistic V6 line and added some spicy content.
Very nice effects.
Самая лучшая и родная
11/10
v7 definitely handles South Asian skin better. with v6 people still often looked more photo-realistic. now they also look 2.5D cartoony.
v6: https://civitai.com/images/37752027
v7: https://civitai.com/images/37751163
not bad
Still my goto model. Hoping for an sd 3.5 version or something.
This version has so much diversity it's staggering. And despite anybody saying that it does not do NSFW... they're sadly mistaken because you can literally do just about anything you want with this! like anything! I'm not exaggerating. It works with so many different styles & LoRAs etc. When creation combinations start falling apart, throw this in there and smile. I guess I could have just said it plays well with others.
What’s the secret? Maybe I’m slow.
@comefog0a607 What are you having a problem with? That might help me answer specifics. I can point one thing out, these messages show in all versions and depending on what version I posted this, it's showing up in all the versions and I know that all versions don't act alike.
It seems to be pony based rather than sdxl. If you ask why. It does not recognize sdxl loras but reads pony based loras.
Cheers, this solved my issue with it
I've noticed this model seems to work best with single subject images.
And will there ever be an Illustrious version? That would be something.
Lately I am getting too much inconsistent results. It seems random, even for a same seed and number of steps, sometimes I get the smooth results that I was expecting and love from this model, and some times I get a low quality cartoonish result.
Is this via onsite or through program?
Just saw an update from Civitai…and it looks like it may be something with their site generator.
On site. I saw the message too, but right now I can't check if it is fixed.
I've just published this. Same prompt, 25 steps. Last image was expected quality.

@chlewey yes I get this too
@chlewey I hope it does get fixed...that is weird and I am sure frustrating. Using the same seed on the same checkpoint with same prompt should be pretty much the same image.
@7whitefire7 the message has gone that there's an issue now, and although the results are better, they're not the same as before. Something's changed.
@CyberRey interesting....wonder what the change is. More likely using various "programs" in the background to produce the images...thus a "same seed" and "same prompt" is more likely looking different as it moves along the different "programs". I put programs in quotes to emphasize that I am simplifying the process that is actually happening but the concept of different programs doing the generation is what I am wondering on with their change. :)
This one along with Real Cartoon Realistic, Real Dream, DucHaiten ones, DreamShaper, Cyberrealistic SDXL and Pony, and a few others I need to mention are my favorite checkpoints ever.
it's having too much highlights and shadows where I've no idea how to remove them
Naked man does not have sex… it’s weird. Do you recommend a Lora or something else ?
Loras do help with more specifics, but the Pony version of RealCartoon seems to respond more in what you are asking
I miss you....its really good at fantasy.
Great
Dude, I miss your Model. I hope you can do an Illustrious Real(cartoon, anime o something xD)
How does the model's prompt adherence compare to Hyphoria?
