This LoRA is designed for a semi-realistic Niji style.
It was trained on images from Niji Journey, with 90% of the dataset focused on male characters.
For warm color tones, use tag: “warm theme” (highly recomended)
For cold and blue tones, use tag: “cold theme”
To achieve a more realistic look, use the following tags:
(realism, photorealism, cinematic lighting, volumetric lighting:1.2)Recommended strength: 0.6-0.8
Lower CFG values produce better results, recommended CFG 1–5
Tip: if the result looks oversaturated or too glossy, simply lower the CFG scale, this usually gives a much better result.
It’s also best to avoid checkpoints that have a strong built-in glossy-AI style.
I recommend using this LoRA with anime checkpoints.
The best results are achieved when paired with NOOBAI checkpoints, since they have a much better understanding of painterly textures.
In contrast, Illustrious tends to suffer from a plasticky look.
I do NOT recommend using this LoRA with bara checkpoints (homosimile, xavier, etc.), as they can heavily distort facial structure and produce strange features due to the baked-in bara style.
V2:
Stronger style effect
Improved dataset
Network DIM increased to 96 (potentially better textures)
I recommend using this LoRA with the models listed below.
