Welcome to Perfection Cinematic!
This is an Illustrious XL merge with a bunch of hand-selected checkpoints and LoRAs to improve the base model's realistic capabilites.
This is a special branch-off for cinematic flavor and for when you need your images to be extra juicy and well-lit!
It's focus is on creating high quality, photorealistic and cinematic 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.
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.
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.

Between Perfection Cinematic v2.0 by @6tZ and Realism_Illustrious v4.0-FP16 by @Stable_Yogi both released this week, I'm finally starting to enjoy using Illustrious. Great work you guys!
Thanks for the kind words and the tip <3
Wow... I really like all of your checkpoints, but the Cinematic version is really sexy!! Follows prompts with a little extra pizzaz!! Well done!!
Is there anything else coming? I love version 2. I'd be excited for a future version. :)
I don't have anything in the works. Need some good inspiration for it.
I still really like 2.0 as well, I'm not "fed up" by it yet.
Okay, you inspired me @bimbam02553
Here's an updated version for you.
I like some of it's output quite a lot, but overall, I find that it often overexposes the images. Gonna need to look into that.
@6tZ Chroma bro! There is a lot of need for a finetune and not a lot of competition.
@brnlittokhoes3110 It wasn't very impressive when I tried it. So I didn't really feel like messing around with it. Their examples are also pretty low tier, so it doesn't look like the model is very capable out of the box at least. A lot of work would be needed.
@6tZ wow thank you. Cinematic is brilliant. I'd be happy if you continued developing that branch.
