    This is an original Checkpoint which combine many LORA I uploaded before.

    The style is more like semi-realistic.

    You can use the prompt attached by pictures.

    I retrained the model, and the third version will be cleaner and more concise, with facial features more inclined towards Eastern aesthetics

    Tips:

    If the image resolution less than 1536x1536 may have blurry and fuzzy result.

    High-Res repainting will solve this problem.

    Good pictures always need to be finely crafted

    If you have some color or overexposure issue when you generate the armored character. You can put these high contrast,yellow light,overexposure, in your negative prompt.

    Have Fun!!!

    Description

    Fixing the blurry issue.

    Better oriental portraits.

    When using V3, I always encounter white spots in the generated images. I don't know what's causing this issue.

    V2 is absolutely perfect.

    I think white spots are training where some point reflections are mistaken for patterns or textures.

    You can try adding some negative prompts, such as white dots or low reflective prompts.

    Of course, if you are willing to spend more time in one image, partial repainting can solve the problem.

    @affa1988 After increasing the step count from 28 to 50 and incorporating the positive prompts from the sample image, including "8k, highres, absurdres, masterpiece, best quality, extremely detailed CG, extremely detailed wallpaper, semi realistic, smooth quality", the issue with white spots was significantly alleviated.

    I hope this will be helpful for the subsequent training of your model.

    By the way, your model is the top-tier semi-realistic model in my mind, especially the V2. Thank you for your efforts.

    white spots and white-ish image is because model lacks VAE, pick VAE manually, dont know why creator did not include VAE

    why does model not have VAE backed in? white spots and white-ish image is because model lacks VAE, you will notice it especially if you use adetailer/facedetailer.

    Thank you for the feedback.
    Usually, I use the default VAE of SDXL or PONY XL. This model did not specifically have a built-in VAE during training and adjustment, so I generally recommend using an external VAE when using it

    MrFlexNov 20, 2025

    i use the pig_illustrious_vae_fp32-f16.gguf for sdxl, illustrious and pony work great on all.
    He has has VAE for almost all models in gguf format both fp32-f32 and fp32-f16

    @Docuei Don't lose heart. Try using a VPN or other proxy AI APP. I think after few weeks, there might be other ways to help you connect to Seedance, just like TikTok and RedNote before.
