    Version 3.0 of the Realism Engine

    In this version we improved the skin realism, the eyes. We also improved the Male anatomy.

    Keep in mind that this is not a NSFW model. For that I recommend SDXXXL.

    Introducing Version 2.0 of the Realism Engine

    We are excited to announce that Version 2.0 of the Realism Engine is now available, featuring significant enhancements.

    This updated model exhibits superior prompt responsiveness and offers markedly improved overall coherence, including more facial expressions, a greater variety of faces, more poses, and improved hands.

    Additionally, we have addressed several quirks from the previous version, such as the challenges in generating nighttime scenes and the issue where increasing the CFG Scale enhanced color vividness without proportionally adjusting contrast. While being capable of producing NSFW content it is less likely to produce it without asking.

    This version include the VAE to help newcomers with their setup.

    Happy Prompting

    Good news for the fans of the original Realism Engine

    Realism Engine SDXL is here

    Version 1.0 is officially out.

    Here's the recommended setting for Auto1111

    Sampler: DPM++ 2S a,

    CFG scale range: 5-9,

    Hires sampler: DPM++ SDE Karras,

    Hires upscaler: ESRGAN_4x,

    Refiner switch at: 0.9 (ON THE FIRST PASS ONLY)

    Look for this in Setting -> Stable Diffusion
    You can also add hires_fix_refiner_pass to you quick list setting to have it on top of you Ui

    While this model hit some of the key goals I was reaching for, it will continue to be trained to fix the weaknesses.

    I appreciate all the good feedback from the community.

    Awesome work.
    I'm using this in Fooocus and Auto1111. Quick/Amazing results in Fooocus - doesn't require much setup to start producing excellent renders.

    Thanks to @4tnai for mentioning Olivio Sarikas video review. This is the Kink of Portraits right now.

    Hi! I would like to use Realism Engine 3 to train my loras, but the only full model I see uploaded is version 2. (I saw someone else asked the same question a few months ago) Would it be possible for you to upload the non-pruned version of Version 3?

    Hi, I'm using fooocus via colab, when I try to do a pyracanny, in full body poses the skin texture and details are of very poor quality and appear with a sharpness that ruins them. I couldn't find a way to fix them, any suggestions?

    Love this base model, by far is the best base model I have used for generating the most photo realistic images (literally indistinguishable). The only issue I have is that it is really hard to run consistent faces on this base model, compared to most other base models. Which is a huge pain in the ass. Does anyone have any suggestions?

    so why are some of the most downloaded/liked XL models and checkpoints (:exhibit A:) not available via on site generator? is that just hocus pocus and civitai CORP decides which are safe for public consumption?

    This is an awesome model. I am wondering something. How can i create a girl wearing a sweater with one breast out? So that it could be seductive. I tried "bare chest" or "one breast out" but it didn't understand.
