I try rotate the pins every 1–3 weeks to keep the gallery fresh. If yours gets unpinned it is not a demotion it is just making room. :3

Based on my testing V9 looks a lot like V4 and brings the checkpoint closer to 3D than 2D which I think is great. My workflow deviates way too much from the author's recommended settings for me to make any comments on what's better or worse but I would encourage everyone to look through all the versions before downloading because they're stylistically different, not just 'high version is higher quality' like a lot of checkpoints. They're all good, so experiment! Thank you!
Perfect description!
Will stop going for anime style on this one! Thats why it was / is kinda all over the place with the versions :p.
And yes v9 is more like v2 / v4 !
Perfect Deliberate is the first AI gen model I used. It was on some weird site that probably went down by now, but being exposed to SD1.5 for the first time, it felt like magic.
Still strong in the Illustrious era.
Great checkpoint! I was struggling today with getting good eyes in version 8. Version 9 seems to solve this problem.
Still issues with hands from v6 to v9. Not sure how what to suggest to fix.
Cool
👍
Hello, I would just like to ask if you will keep older versions activated again. I am using V. 5 for my personal generation, but should I have to activate it myself for a week thats fine I can, but I would just like to know in advance :-)
Hey yes my bad, will be active again on next bid :D, I just completly fumbled the days and did it 1 day to late again
@Desync Heh, no worries. Thanks for the reply
can this use moodboard in draw things ai?
its good
Awesome content! Thank you.
fave model so far <3
Very well made. It coheres to prompt particularly well. Thanks.
Very goon.. good 🤭
This comment of yours is what finally convinced me to download this model... And I don't regret it!
@questionable_tastes i like the photorealistic aspect of it so nice, stronger than wailustrious etc, another good you might try is nova anime xl or one obsession
This is one of the best semi-3D style checkpoint. This model can result very stable and aestetic images with very clear textures. Some of NSFW tags are not implemented properly, i think, but it is okay. That cases are very few.
Which external text_encoder is compatible with this model? I think CLIP is too weak in this model. I'd like to use qwen_image for CLIP-ing.
