    Check my exclusive models on Mage: ParagonXL / NovaXL / NovaXL Lightning / NovaXL V2 / NovaXL Pony / NovaXL Pony Lightning / RealDreamXL / RealDreamXL Lightning

    Recommendations for using the Hyper model:
    Sampler = DPM SDE++ Karras or another / 4-6+ steps
    CFG Scale = 1.5-2.0 (
    the lower the value, the more mutations, but the less contrast)

    I also recommend using ADetailer for generation (some examples were generated with ADetailer, this will be noted in the image comments).

    This model is available on Mage.Space (main sponsor).
    You can also support me directly on Boosty.

    Realistic Vision V6.0 (B2 - Full Re-train) Status (Updated: Apr. 4, 2024):
    - Training Images: +3400 (B1: 3000)
    - Training Steps: +724k (B1: 664k)
    - Approximate percentage of completion: ~30%

    All models, including Realistic Vision (VAE / noVAE) are also on Hugging Face

    Please read this! How to remove strong contrast.

    To make the image less contrasty you can use LoRA [Detail Tweaker LoRA] in a negative value.

    Orange Color = Optional

    I use this template to get good generation results:

    Thanks to the creators of these models for their work. Without them it would not have been possible to create this model.

    v4 has a vae included? I always forget--in A1111 does that mean I need to turn the vae off that usually runs or is that not a problem?

    creedukJul 14, 2023

    If you set it to Automatic or None then it will not try to add the other VAE on top. I found when left on vae-ft-mse-840000-ema-pruned.ckpt it will darken images.
    I usually get the non vae of models so I can choose but giving this one a test see if bake VAE is better.

    I have also read but cannot confirm that if you select a vae in A1111 it overrides the models inbuilt one and does not add it on top. If that is true then you have the choice. But I don't know if that is true, anybody confirm?

    Zmey_GJul 14, 2023

    @creeduk  As far as I remember, In the AUTOMATIC1111 settings there is a checkbox that is responsible for how this function works.

    By default, it usually uses the built-in VAE and does not overlay a separate one, but this can be disabled and then the external VAE will be used.

    creedukJul 14, 2023

    @Zmey_G That checkbox (I think) only makes it swap and use VAE that has the same name as checkpoint. If you have a checkpoint for a specific model it will use it, but baked in is different (as far as I know).

    Zmey_GJul 18, 2023· 1 reaction

    @creeduk It is quite possible that this is so. Unfortunately, I cannot confirm this 100%.

    Information from some AUTOMATIC1111 setup guide, which I read at the very beginning of mastering web ui. It said that if you uncheck this box, then the selected VAE will be used, if you set the menu item 'Automatic', then the VAE with the same name as the checkpoint will be used.

    I think it really needs to be checked. Unfortunately, the set of equipment that I have does not allow me to reliably state whether this is true or not...

    creedukJul 18, 2023· 1 reaction

    @Zmey_G I found the VAE is on hugging face so I guess it would need both baked and non baked model, then some testing with none vs loading it then automatic to see what matches we would see how the built in VAE is treated vs the independent one. Maybe if I find some time :)

    I get very realistic faces with Realistic Vision, especially with a lot of the available lora and lycoris, but I notice that lora which modify bodies don't seem to work quite as well - either the model seems to ignore the lora, or they combine to negatively impact output quality. Do you have any tips for folks who want to exert more specific control over bodies, or is that not in the scope of this model? (NOT a criticism - it's perfect for so many use cases, I wouldn't expect any model to be universally applicable).

    MKUltra2025Jul 22, 2023

    An inpainting model is more suitable if you want to modify a specific portion of an image - say you want to change a table or remove someone in the background of an image, you would "inpaint" the image and replace it to whatever your prompt is.

    When I use img2img and the person I try to copy or improve or whatever has a closed mouth my images still have either open mouths or half open mouths or even closed mouths with teeth showing "through".....like 1 out of 10 or 15 has a closed mouth then. What is this with the teeth even if the input image doesnt show any kind of teeth? Must be a prompt issue. What would you guys suggest?

    Love it. Nice to see a model remixing mine sitting on the top most popular :)

    Realistic Vision V5.0 on Hugging Face and <new example images>

    I'm opening up access to the model on Hugging Face. Note that this is the version without VAE. Use with this model vae-ft-mse-840000-ema-pruned. The version with baked VAE will be uploaded to CivitAI soon.

    @anniebunnie Hi. Yes, I am planning an SDXL based RV but I can't give a specific timeline.
