PainCraft_Reforged – SDXL Finetuned Model

This is my first fully finetuned SDXL model, trained from scratch on my RTX 5090 in just under 7 hours.
The training was done over 40 epochs with a total of 28,000 steps, optimized for visual detail, consistency, and prompt responsiveness.

Compared to the original PainCraft_XL merge, this version has a much stronger grasp of composition, contrast, and character definition. It maintains artistic edge while improving photorealistic output significantly.

Recommended Settings:

• Steps: 35

• CFG Scale: 6.0

• Sampler: dpmpp_3m_sde_gpu

• Scheduler: beta

• Enable Highres.Fix: Yes (recommended for more detail and sharpness)

This model performs best with structured, style-aware prompts and handles intricate scenes very well.

I'd love to see what you create with it – feel free to share your generations here.
