Description
I've pushed ZIT 2 to the limit — now it's XL's turn.
Event Horizon 7.0 is a complete lighting overhaul + some of the best anatomy I've ever pulled off in XL. Hands down the strongest EH XL release yet.
Early Access is live — once it ends, this one might go Generation Only (depending on how things shake out). Grab it while it's open.
Have fun. 🔥
FAQ
Comments (27)
why most of these checkpoints are overwhelmed with female photos? are these not capable of creating male figures?
EH ZIT 2 has no problems in creating male figures. Cheers!
Excellent checkpoint, as usual. 👍👍
Thanks for your kind words! Have a nice day!
Hi bro! Your "Event Horizon - 1" model is shockingly beautiful! But what's different or better about this "Event Horizon - 2"? It's not clear to me 🤔 .. I'm a bit of a noob! 👀🤪 Can you explain it to me please?
Hi, i'd try to upload a comparative later on (although i always had problems with Civitai not letting me to post comparatives ). Overall, Image quality is much better, more detailed. Anatomy is better. It's better than v.1.0 at nsfw.
I am more of a Z-Image Base guy, but the gallery images of your latest ZIT model look fantastic! They capture the rich colors and subtle ambient occlusion of some older SDXL models, which gives great depth to shapes. I love that style. Could you train something similar for ZIB, or are there already ZIB models with this visual look? Keep up the good work!
Thanks for your kind words. I haven't tested Base enough or indepth but i had far better luck training loras with (de)Turbo so far. Zib Base is an odd model to me, for training at least, and very slow for inference. That's why i prefer to focus on Zit atm. In any case, i'd try to bring the variety of base implementing Semantic Dyrectional Alignment and other enhances in the future. I don't discard the idea of working on Z Base if more people is interested, though.
@ElectricDreams Got it! If it's not too much to ask, could you upload an BF16/FP16 version of the ZIT model too?
@mmdd2543 I'll upload it if i had one. Cheers!

I´m sure you have your reasons, but as feedback is crucial, I´d like tell you that I´m not a fan of the on site generation only route. There are so many great models and I for one am just moving on, if they way I need to use it is excluded. Still...looking good, nice work!
I fully agree with the feedback with all due respect to the work and effort behind it. Site generation only disappoints when working locally.
Thank you for taking the time to leave feedback, I really appreciate it.
I completely understand your point — the "Generation Only" route isn't for everyone, and it's valid to prefer having direct downloads. There are indeed many great models out there, so I respect your decision to move on if it doesn't fit your workflow.
The reason I'm gradually moving newer models to Generation Only is mainly sustainability. Creating and maintaining these checkpoints takes a significant amount of time and effort, and recent changes on the platform have made it increasingly difficult for creators to keep things viable long-term. I'm trying to find a balance that allows me to continue releasing new work without burning out.
That said, many older models remain fully downloadable, and I'm always open to feedback on how to improve things.
Thanks again for the kind words.
@ElectricDreams
I understand that. Unfortunately, buying first and then testing is the wrong approach. I couldn't see if on-site generation was available during the early access period. So, you can test it first and see if it's worth it...
@Daemona, I agree with that opinion and that's why all the models are always free to test on TA. No need to pay anything. Unfortunately, here i have to pay buzz each week to keep it online so i can't keep everything i want (people can bid if they want a model on the online generator though). Cheers.
Building upon opensource and making it closed is unforgivable imho.
Can Alipay buy it?
Hi! Yes, Whop accepts Alipay afaik. Cheers! https://whop.com/electric-dreams/event-horizon-zit-2-0/
Will you add the V7 to Tensor.art?
Oh hi! It was already uploded two weeks ago. Here's the link: https://tensor.art/models/981131860383917570
@ElectricDreams Ah! I was looking at the wrong place (in the nexus version)
@n_Arno Nevermind! pretty common mistake. Probably I should rename it as "Nexus" (without the Event Horizon first) and call it a day. I have to mull over it.
It would be really nice to have a prompting guide in the style of the Juggernaut one, just to not waste hours trying between "high res or high resolution?". Just a thought!
Hi, for zit or sdxl? zit just likes very long winded descriptions. If you're asking for sdxl, just check my collection of embeddings out (eh detailers, photographic tools, artistic styles and such) in the suggested resources. It saves a lot of time prompting and those are optimised for Event Horizon XL. I think you'll find those helpful.
