Hello everyone,

this is my first attempt at a checkpoint merge.

It's a mix of three of my favorite realistic models.

I'm still a complete beginner when it comes to this whole topic, but I plan to delve deeper into it in my spare time in the future.

That's why I would greatly appreciate any feedback!

The models I merged were:

RealCartoon-Realistic by 7whitefire7

majicMIX realistic by Merjic

AbsoluteReality by Lykon

Thank you for creating these amazing models!

I have used these settings almost exclusively. They are a good starting point and can be adjusted depending on what you want to generate.

Sampling method:

• DPM++ 2M Karras

• DPM++ 2M SDE

• DPM++ 2M SDE Karras

• DPM++ 3M SDE Karras

Sampling Steps:

• 20-40 (I use 30-38 most of the times)

• CFG Scale: 5-7 (Most of the times)

Example For Negative Prompt (more realistic): (deformed iris, deformed pupils, cgi, 3d, render, sketch, cartoon, drawing, anime), text, cropped, out of frame, worst quality, low quality, jpeg artifacts, ugly, duplicate, morbid, mutilated, extra fingers, mutated hands, poorly drawn hands, poorly drawn face, mutation, deformed, blurry, dehydrated, bad anatomy, bad proportions, extra limbs, cloned face, disfigured, gross proportions, malformed limbs, missing arms, missing legs, extra arms, extra legs, fused fingers, too many fingers, long neck, 3d, illustration, cartoon

Example For Negative Prompt (more semi-realistic): cartoon, painting, illustration, (worst quality, low quality, normal quality:2), blurry, bad quality

• clip skip 1 or 2

Recommended Upscaler Settings:

Hires. fix Upscaler:

• 4x_NMKD-Superscale-SP_178000_G

• 8x_NMKD-Superscale_150000_G

• 4x_foolhardy_Remacri

• Hires steps: 10-20 (Most of the times I use half the sampling steps)

• Denoising strength: ~ 0.3-0.5

If you can use Hires.fix for better Results!

I don't use restore faces. use ADetailer for a better face!

If you like this model, I would greatly appreciate a positive review along with constructive criticism, suggestions for improvement, or anything similar!
