=============================================
SmoothMix Ultimate!
It combines all other SmoothMix Checkpoints into one!
It can create high quality anime or semi-realistic images, pushing the realism just enough to still be an stylized realism.
Use the triggers prompts "smoothmixanime" and "smoothmixrealism" to achieve the style you want.
You should be able to more easily mirror an anime stylized image to a more realistic version of it by just changing a single prompt! Give it a try! ^^
===============================================
NEWEST VERSION: Anima!
Finally the Anima version is done! ^^
Just one of the prompts "smoothmixanime", "anime style", "smoothmixrealism", "realistic style" should be enough!
Not using these prompts will give you a similiar result to Illustrious v5.
Make sure to download the necessary files - VAE ad Text Encoder - to use it.
All images were made on Stable Diffusion Forge - Neo.
Anima recommended settings:
Step 20~25 / CFG: 2~3
Smapling (ER SDE/Euler a/DPM++ 2M)
Scheduler: Karras*/Simple/Beta (Schedules makes a big difference on the results)
Scheduler Karras is not recommended for Realistic images/style and can result in weird images!
Resolution: 832x1216 or above.
Adetailer
Hires. fix: Remacri
All images used anima_baseV10_txt.safetensors and qwen_image_vae.safetensors!
===================================================
Illustrious V.2!
Adjusted the base SDXL VAE with this useful tool VAE-BlessUp and adjustments with Supermerger! No need for VAE anymore! The colors should feel a little better both on realism and anime styles! ^^
Illustrious v.2 recommended settings:
Steps: 20 ~ 30 - (Euler a/DPM++ 2M) - CFG: 3 ~ 5
Resolution: 832x1216 or above.
VAE: No need anymore! ^^

Hires. fix: Remacri
Use the set of Smooth Embeddings! The Positive and Negative Embedding will help creating a high quality image!
Use Smooth Detailer Booster for better effects and details.
Use Smooth Lighting Enhancer for better lighting effects!
ZImage Turbo V.1!
Base model is ZImage Turbo.
ZImage Turbo is a heavily censored base model, so its native NSFW support is limited. While SmoothMix ZImage Turbo can produce some nice images with nudity, the coverage and quality remains modest. For higher‑quality or more complex NSFW results, you’ll need to use LoRAs specifically trained for that type of content.
All images on the Showcase used the new Smooth Workflow v.4!
ZImage Turbo v.1 recommended settings will vary depending on the combo of Sampler + Scheduler you are using. Make sure to check out all images I posted for several examples - here are some recomendations:
Sampler (Euler A) + Scheduler (Simple/SGM Uniform/Beta)
Steps: 8 ~ 10/12 (Go over 10 only for very complex images - AKA very detailed/long prompts)
CFG: 1.1 ~ 1.6 (More CFG adds more contrast - Great for night/sunsets or dark indoors images)
Sampler (DPM++ SDE) + Scheduler (Simple/SGM Uniform/Beta)
Steps: 8 ~ 10/15 (Go over 10 only for very complex images - AKA very long prompts)
CFG: 1.1 ~ 1.5
Sampler (DPM++ SDE/Euler A) + Scheduler (DDIM Uniform)
Steps: 8 ~ 10 (Keep in this range or the Scheduler will have no effect or completely mess up you image)
CFG: 1.1 ~ 1.5
ModelSamplingAuraFlow: 0.7
CLIP/TextEncoder: ZImageTurbo_textEncoder
VAE: ZimageTurbo_vae
ILLUSTRIOUS V.1!
Base model is IllustriousXL v2.0.
VAE is NOT embedded on this model - make sure to select your favorite!
Illustrious v.1 recommended settings:
Steps: 30 ~ 40 - (Euler a/DPM++ 2M) - CFG: 3 ~4
Resolution: 832x1216 or above. (Showcase image are 1024x1496 +hires)
VAE: sdxlVAE, Luna, Neptunia, Better Colors

Model doesn't work. I purchased and downloaded the model.
Looks very nice thx again
I seem to have a problem with facedetailer that i haven t investigate yet, it looks like some kind of mask leftover (grey mask with dots on eyes and mouth) any clue ?
I based my workflow on your work and parameters are the same as in your 3.1 workflow version
No lead on my issue yet here is an example
@andreeee6327 Any luck? I managed to remake the image you posted but changing all loras with just Smooth booster and using my embbeding: https://civitai.com/images/117933250
@DigitalPastel yeah i tried already without lora and many simple configuration
i just tried the same as you not better i just realized that the image before hiresfix already present white dots and color are washed up
Just tried updating every custom node I use, updated card drivers, tried lower CFG and different sampler and scheduler i keep having this issue i wonder what to try i just checked on 8 other illustrious checkpoint including your smoothmixrealism I can t reproduce
just tried with sdxle dedicated vae it seems to have fix it
@DigitalPastel did I miss something vae is not embedded ?
@andreeee6327 Yes, vae is NOT embedded in this Model. I forgot to add that to the description. I'm sorry. >.< I'm going to update it.
no worries ! I feel stupid not to have identified the obvious source of my pbm XD
By the way I did not use any vae for a while no for image gen any specific one you would advise ?
