After he tested nearly 900 models, this is a merge of Shonin's 10 favourite photo-realism models, mixed in with the Envy Good Hands and Detail Tweaker LoRAs to give you fantastic images.
As always, these models are properly pruned fp16 and fixed with the 840k VAE baked in.
The front image is made using a "universal prompt" with no embeddings/LoRAs/weightings so should be replicable across any UI

Thank you for this.
Extremely good model it has exceptionally good realism and lighting. You always make very good models, keep it up. Please keep on updating.
I try every photorealistic checkpoint out there, but I always seem to fall back on Shonin's work. Not sure what it is, but the images that it generates just have more depth to them. The only thing I think it lacks are more realistic backgrounds, but that's likely just me not as familiar with prompting.
the most underrated checkpoint model out there
I don't get why this model is not talked about more, 2 years later, it's still one of the best
