I recommend DPM++ SDE Karras, CFG 5, 30 steps.
If you are looking for absolutely cranked skin textures, I recommend v2-rc over v3. But v3 offers better consistency for hands and eyes.
I recommend trying out portaito as well.

The best Pony model gets a new version! :)
OMG!!!
Realism has come to PONY thanks to you my friend. You have dethroned Pony Realism IMO.
THANK You
Amazing work! do you think we can get an illustrious version of this too? Great prompt adherence, hand and feet problems are an ancient artifact now, and works great with photorealism, despite it's name, and common use it does realistic photography too. Goddess of realism just released their model for Illustrious, but I'd prefer something les film grainy and smooth like this one. :)
I will definitely work on a realism Illustrious merge when the time is right! Stay tuned!
@GoronPlus I now have my first attempt at photorealistic Illustrious up! https://civitai.com/models/1293212
@epiTune sweet, checking it out now!
Is it just for me that the V3 model really likes to produce blue clothes on almost every gen? (DPM++2M SDE Karras)
You mean by default or even if you prompt for something else it doesn't listen?
@epiTune By default. It does listen when I say "green", but left to its own devices it will generate blue female clothing.
@shadow0 Interesting - I've not experienced this myself
@epiTune Supposing I want to avoid so much of it, what do you suggest for negative? "blue", "blue (color)", "blue clothes"? I dunno what Pony prefers.
@shadow0 I've never run into a situation where I ask for `green top" and I get a different color - I can try to reproduce the problem. Is it happening consistently for you?
I'm new to this AI stuff and finally, after hours of troubleshooting, I got Fooocus to work on AMD and came across this V3 model. I haven't left it alone ever since haha. This is great. Love it!
pal... sde takes twice as long as regular m2, so when you recommend 50 steps, you are recommending 100... you defo made some mistakes along the road that it takes that long to generate decent texture.
My dude, what are you smoking?
Dude, I just discovered Opticon....it's amazing! Whatever you're doing...keep doing it. Keep coming out with realistic models. You're doing amazing work!
Thank you for the kind words!

@epiTune Oh, I have. They're great too. But every model seems to react differently to different loras. Keep going though. Your creations are so good!
This is a very good model except - there are too many shadows and dark shadows. I cannot figure out how to get even lighting even when using positive and negative prompts.
The opticon models are quite opinionated that way; they have a heavy hand on the vibe of image - if you want clean even images I would recommend you look at some of the more recent illustrious based realism models.
