    This is an excellent model. Thanks a lot. But it seems to ignore negative prompts in ComfyUI, when used with lcm sampler. Confusing…

    barry9000Jun 23, 2025

    Not sure what your settings are but I've always used lcm sampler with a low cfg (between 1 to 2), and when using a really low cfg like 1-2 the negative prompt has little to no effect.

    AwadoJun 24, 2025

    @barry9000 Thanks for the hint. It's the most basic workflow, just to keep things simple. I'll try to use different positive prompts then.

    I've been using it in SillyTavern with a pre-fixed prompt that includes a relatively detailed character description, and find that sometimes it does very well, and other times the character look changes a fair amount. I have not tried using a LoRA.

    Just use the defalt image generation and don't put anything in negative. SDXL needs almost no prompts. Euler a normal - 5cfg, 30steps. Impossible for that to produce a bad image.

    i use a slightly modified version of this workflow:
    https://civitai.com/models/1663229/lwf

    cfg usually around 4.5 but i have gone up to 7 when i need to force some prompts. been getting fairly good results, it doesn't need neg prompts but even if you give them it shouldn't have to much of negative impact, for the sampler DPM++ 2M (Karras) is my goto.

    I use Fooocus almost exclusively and its great interface. Yours models are probably the best models I've ever used for photorealism. (lastFame(realism) and CrystalClear. And I've tried a lot of them ( SDXL, Pony, Illustrious) Very good adherence to prompts, very compliant with Loras. And you're right, almost nothing in the negative prompts. Thanks again, THANK YOU very much, I don't know if you can do any better...

    This applies to me. I prefer Fooocus for image generation. For a long time I favored IrisLux and then switched to Donutsdeliverymixv3, and these are still among my favorites, but EpiCRealism (CrystalClear) is the best so far. Two setbacks (from my point of view): The eyes sometimes lack integrity, unless you do super man steps. I prefer 30 steps because I'm impatient, but with a detailer and enhancement Styles; the other thing is NSFW, where it tends towards fellatio when I prompt for anilingus. :D

    SinStim12 I do not know the characteristics of the NVIDIA 1650 TI 4 GBS, but I have the 1060 basic with 3 GBS and I can perfectly generate both in SDXL and in Flux in Forge. Obviously in Flux it takes approx 4 minutes every image, it is not practical, but the fact is that I can.

    In SDXL I use the LORA of DMD2, 8 steps, CFG 1, Sampler LCM Exponential, size 1216x832 and generates 4 images in less than 4 minutes. No credit limits, uncensored, without control of any kind.

    Your GPU is newer and I suppose superior to mine. Try it with that configuration that I use, I hope it will work for you.

    0xelySep 23, 2025· 2 reactions

    Training a lora is fast and simple

    ailthrimOct 2, 2025· 2 reactions

    Step one is realizing that consistent faces or “characters” is essentially impossible with any image model without a lot of time and effort and knowing the TOOLS available to you. You can’t replicate a face without some extra tools like loras, controlnet, instantID, textual inversions (embeddings), etc. ControlNet Union SDXL is one of the easiest ways to get started. Text embeddings are fairly easy to create. Even loras have become much easier to make and can truly lock in a consistent “character”. Unfortunately, just learning how to set up a simple text to image chain is actually the easiest part. All the interesting stuff often requires extra learning and work, but that’s part of the fun.

    kanie78Oct 29, 2025

    1. creating a lora (you can do that online on tensor art for example and quite fast and cheap) 2. some models (not tested with epicrealism) creating more consistant faces if you give your model an acutal name like: Jane Doe. "realistic photography of Jane Doe..."

    do you have any tips for upscaling? I've used it and many other models in the past and for some reason everything is coming out really blurry at 2x. Never had this issue before.

    hanekawa0917792Oct 10, 2025· 2 reactions

    Friends, if you have carefully read the author's introduction, the recommended magnification limit for all XL models is 1.5 times. If you need a higher resolution, you can use the 4xNomos8kSCHAT-L model to magnify it 1.5 times and then use the 2-8x model to magnify the external space.

    @epinikion Maybe you have misunderstood what I said. The author I mentioned is not you. I have been using models from your series and the results are great. Of course, I also use models from other authors. Most authors will explain the parameter settings for the upgrade.

    hanekawa0917792Oct 10, 2025

    @hanekawa0917792 that’s totally nonsense since the upscalers are based upon 2x or even 4x upscales. @TomatoAlien probably you just missing the upscaler model or using a weird one or a weird aspect ratio which causes this behavior

    hanekawa0917792Oct 10, 2025

    @epinikion @epinikion @TomatoAlien's response was that the model was blurry after enlarging. I asked him to try it at 1.5, because many authors of XL models recommend that the magnification is best at 1.2-1.5. I never said that your model can be enlarged to 1.5 at most. I agree with your later point of view. Maybe he used an inappropriate enlarged model or unsuitable scale parameter settings, and omitted the upgrader model. How to make the workflow run?

    Easy solution: Use an AI upscaler, just google it there are a lot, I use two services and I got pretty 4x upscales with no distortions, no quality loss and zero artifacts

    wait what, I'm a little lost on what you mean by that, but super intrigued. What do you mean exactly?

    @bigbearpun11 that he is doing a lora or the Sims 4...

    @bigbearpun11 The model prompts perfectly to "Character in the Sims 4", or Skyrim, high octane render etc. using tag Character Sheeting. This has alot of the base of original SDXL model so most Lora can work with cfg stretched to 16 then moving the negative prompts with a low token (low detail, blurry, jpeg artifacts etc). Then move to photoshop/blender etc stretch, very fun to do. Doesn't look like a sprite from the early 2000's pasted onto a model because it blends in the original Sims 4 Textures.
