    Welcome to epiCPhotoGasm

    This Model is highly tuned for Photorealism with the tiniest amount of exessive prompting needed to shine.
    All Showcase images are generated without Negatives (V1) to show what is possible on the bare prompt.

    Whats special?

    The model has highly knowledge of what a photo is, so if u promt u can avoid using photo. If the prompt tends to be fantasy like the model will turn away from photo and u have to tweak by prompting and/or negatives.

    The model can do various ethnicities well, so try them out.

    Age is also well trained and known by the model, so try them out too.

    How to use

    • use simple prompts without "fake" enhancers like "masterpiece, photorealistic, 4k, 8k, super realistic, realism" etc.

    • don't use a ton of negative embeddings, focus on few tokens or single embeddings

    • you can still use atmospheric enhances like "cinematic, dark, moody light" etc.

    • start sampling at 20 Steps

    • no extra noise-offset needed

    Description

    Can't decide, here's the second one

    Tried to refine the overall output consistency (Arms/Hands/Legs) and also improving overall photo realness.

    Let's see if this works out since i had spare time for in-depth testing

    PSA: the safetensors file for x+ is the same as the filename for x. so saving it in the same folder will overwrite x unless you rename it

    a very personal feedback...Maybe not correct

    SIN RC1 VAE is the most stable one, but not such interesting as new ones.

    SIN similar like SIN RC1, slightly funny and unstable.

    Both of them are good at people of all race

    PhotoGasm X and X+ are good at photo effects and perfect background, while not always stable for human, but when stable, they gives really realistic people photos. They works not so good on asian, chinese, japansese etc. races.

    X++ as you said, merge of SIN and PhotoGasm, reduce the funny and increase the stability of X.

    Still not sure which is my favourite one lol

    After a few days of testing X++, its really hard to describe in comparison to X. I feel like I "fight" with X++ more with hands and poses, controlnet openpose/canny are having a fairly "weak" effect, compared with X where if you give an openpose+canny for hand poses it generally nails them, X++ is giving a lot more deformities. It also feels more sensitive to LoRAs - strong weights corrupt the image, weak weights and X++ has too much creativity and makes errors. Overall it feels like a bump in texture quality + NSFW, but a reduction in prompt parsing and hands/feet.

    Is there a way to always generate the same person but to change things like the clothes, the environment and pose ?

    difmodsampOct 21, 2023

    create lora/embedding/dreambooth of person and use created file for img2img with controlnet openpose (most control)

    use same seed on img2img and slightly change description (inconsistent)

    use inpaint to change worn clothes or part of environment (limit to existing photo)

    use tools that swap face and apply after txt2img photo generated

    728hueyOct 24, 2023

    Try changing your prompt slightly. Say you show redhead woman standing in doorway. Regenerate that picture but change the prompt slightly like "redhead woman sitting in cafe with sweater and hat", or "running in park with sports bra and yoga pants" or standing in office with blue blazer, cream blouse, and long black skirt", etc. Just experiment with different scenarios.

    Can someone tell me the difference between, X, X Plus and X Plus-Plus?

    Is it a difference in detail?

    InvisidudeOct 14, 2023· 6 reactions

    X was a refinement on v4 (which if you haven't tried v4, you should give it a shot) to get even better physical anatomy, but the author was afraid that they ruined its ability to produce good hands in the process. So X Plus and X Plus Plus are a couple extra merges that were both attempts to make hands look better, but they couldn't decide which was better and released them both.

    I really haven't noticed any major hand problems with X. For that matter, I think v4 still generates great images in terms of anatomy.

    All of the feminine faces kinda.. look the same? Feels like there is one face for a dark haired latinish type girl and one face for blonde slavic girl, didn't check the rest. I can see it in the gallery at civitai that others also generate slightly modified version of the same face. Sucks because I really like everything else in the model. Or maybe someone have some tips how to get more face variety?

    3336Oct 16, 2023

    That is the common issue of burnt mixes. Despite the good quality it outputs. Results are burnt in a certain area.

    spravedlivaOct 16, 2023

    The way I usually deal with that is by using ADetailer, because it detects and inpaints a new face with varying degrees of difference. You can set a specific prompt for different facial features, different from your main one. Then you get many different faces and they are much better quality too! Win win!

    2116548Oct 17, 2023

    Controlnet is also another great way to get good variety of faces. I usually use Depth, but lately have been using lineart, and have been getting pretty good results.

    RedmndOct 18, 2023

    Use random names instead of woman or girl. Search for the native female names for the ethnicity you are looking for on Google and try.

    KINGLIFEROct 19, 2023

    @Nobodybutmyself Mind breaking down a bit how line art could vary the face?

    brassen250Oct 19, 2023

    There are other ways to vary the face. Lora is probably not the answer you want but I'd suggest using Lora or a common name/famous name to add to variation. Now with the lora of your choice, you don't want it to completely dominate the render, but to just add slight detailing.

    So something I learned from researching mixing faces was to follow this formula. Ensure you space it exactly the same.
    [woman: dove cameron: 0.8], blah, blah, blah.

    So for the first 80% you'll get your standard woman face from the model itself then it will add dove cameron's face for the last 20% of the render as a detail. You can even add more faces with something like this...

    woman, [latina: viking: 0.5: dove cameron: 0.8], causal outfit, fur shoes, blah, blah, blah,

    You get your gender start, with your race, then another race typing start at 50% of the render then at 80% of the render, dove cameron's face is overlaid.

    But you need to follow the formula within the brackets, otherwise it won't render the face like you want it. You can fiddle with percentages how you want. Plus, you will get a consistent face. You can even add Adetailer to the mix to get better detailing.

    But this is probably the best method of getting a truly unique render. Obviously you can use other names BTW.

    brassen250Oct 20, 2023

    @pekonaxdd So, just to elaborate on my previous comment, I've decided to render a few examples for you. You can use the prompts and adjust it to your taste. But you will find that the blend feature is extremely powerful, almost to a perfection. You can even create an entire line of ancestry if you wanted.

    My examples will be found under 3.1GetWhatYouPrompt, as that's the version I use. Please, please, look at them. I want you to really get the gist of what I'm trying to bring out. Hope my little display and comments will help you in your search.

    @automatas Glad it works for you! I didn't use Lora for the images I posted, but I highly recommended doing so for the greatest likeness of a celebrity. However, its not necessary as you probably have noticed. Just using fairly well known names, that the model already knows workings for blending.

    I'll post a lora blend soon just to show how powerful this mixing method is.

    728hueyOct 22, 2023

    I had the same issues. The easy way to do this is to just use a specific name of a famous/semi-famous person in your prompt, and the AI will put the face into the image. That's partly why I focused on just putting images of faces because I knew others here could experiment with them in their own AI art. I focused mainly on Caucasian blondes, Black women, and brunette women, as most Caucasian brunette women could be used for Latina women as well. I've only tried one Arab woman, but I'd like to work on more Arab/Palestinian women as well as Persian and South Asian women. Unfortunately, I'm not as tuned into Bollywood as some others here are, as I only know Priyanka Chopra and Sunny Leone.

    @epinikion Yeah and i get to conclusion after many hours of testing that InvokeAI is now with version V3.3 much better then Automatic1111,upscaling is smoother and much faster with lower memory consumption,and in SDXL support InvokeAI is also much faster.

    you can upscale with natural high resolution Fix enabled to 4k with only 8gb of Vram on Automatic you would need RTX 4080 with 16gb of Vram which is absolutelly crazy.

    From now on InvokeAI is my daily driver,i forget about automatic lol.
