@jrrytng467 Excellent work on test_ v4! Think it's a very nice improvement over test_ v3 in both image quality and photorealism. Both prompt and LoRA adherence seems greatly improved as well. Still does some unintended NSFW stuff sometimes, but it's mostly random. Still get extra fingers occasionally, but it's rare. The lighting and contrast is perfect, no issues there with this one.
Think test_ v4 is right up there with In_My_Dreams v1 (IMD v2 is also nice, but has some stability/consistency issues and slightly worse adherence). Right now, test_ v4 and IMD v1 are probably my favorites of yours. Both are very similar, yet different in certain ways. Really can't decide which of the two I enjoy better!
Update; think I'm liking test_ v4.0 best so far. This one can push out some amazing gems and is really enjoyable to work with! 4 thumbs up ;)
I just realized, and curious. You have one image with a different face :) which brings me to my question. The face you always use? Is that someone you know? Or mean anything personal to you? Just an observation is all.
Different topic, Tarendax,
He is like you in a way, yours you put words to my models, he posts images all the time which I love, hes very creative and very good with prompting to get what he is shooting for. I love his work.
I just like giving you two credit for your part in what I do. Its what makes it fun and keeps me here, honestly
@jrrytng467 The usual face/person is just using prompting to see what generates naturally from the model with instruction, the blonde one is using a non-real character LoRA (not mine). The one in the gold dress is also without LoRA like the usual one, but just with slightly different descriptors. No real meaning or anything, just interesting to see how the model decides to make a character on its own from prompts and how it works with a LoRA.
And yes, I really enjoy seeing what @Tarendax creates as well. Unfortunately, I'm still just seeing a completely empty image gallery for test_ v4 (due to current site issues), so I'm really not sure what's been posted yet.
Really do appreciate the models that you've come up with, as they really check a lot of boxes for the ideal things I'm looking for in a checkpoint - ease of use without needing to experiment with many settings, excellent prompt and LoRA accuracy, and excellent image quality and realism. With that basic criteria covered, it becomes really enjoyable to immediately get really good results while being more motivated to experiment further (ie, messing with settings to dial things in better or to create entirely new prompts). Sharing my test results really isn't something I like to do, but just figure that maybe it might be helpful for you and for others to see differences between realistic models. And likewise, with my text reviews. I make personal notes for all the models I've tested so I can later see what I did (or didn't) like about a particular model, what it excelled in, what it struggled with. Figured some of that info might be useful to others as well. Image results are an important way of conveying what others can expect, but don't always describe the whole experience of using a particular model, so I like adding some context as well.
@AFD_0 well you are helping me learn more about all this with a better understanding
@AFD_0 And as far as keeping it simple, that's me in a nut shell. I hate playing around with settings. I did a lot of that in the begging until I found what I like and now it might just be sliding the CFG +/- a little but not unless I think I need to, I usually just keep it on 5 And honestly that's the experience that I want people to have when they use my models, something easy to just play with
