    A branch off CheckPoint from RealCartoon3D

    The Process:


    This Checkpoint is a branch off from the RealCartoon3D checkpoint. This one's goal is to produce a more "realistic" look in the backgrounds and people. I am trying to avoid the more anime, cartoon, and "perfect" look in this model. It is a challenge that is for sure; but it gave a direction that RealCartoon3D was not really moving toward (as I wanted that one to just do what it is asked with a nice fun look). The process is the same as the base checkpoint (RealCartoon3D); but I look for more "real" merges. This (like the others) gets updates from RealCartoon3D as well. As with the base model, I try not to use checkpoints that are restricted on merges.

    The Settings:

    • Width: 512 (normally would not adjust unless I flipped the height and width)

    • Height: 768 (Have done up to 1024, but 904 is doing really well)

    • Sampling Method: "Eular A" became pretty much the default as versions moved along, but "DPM++ SDE Karra" and "DPM++ 2M Karras" are favorites for me as well.

    • Sampling steps: 30-50 normally (30 being my starting point, but going up to 45 a lot of the time)

    • Hires.fix settings: Upscaler (R-ESRGAN 4x+, 4k-UltraSharp most of the time), Hires Steps (10-20), Denoising Str (0.34 - 0.45 normally), Upscale (1.5 or 2 does well)

    • Clip Skip: 2

    Would run ADetailer to help enhance the eyes but many times in the later versions I would not run this as it was not needed.

    Why So Many Versions:

    Because I wanted to share all the results that I felt reached a desired outcome. Allowed me to have fun, and I saw that many enjoyed them. Which motivated me to keep trying. Again, thank you.

    Description

    So, this one did not go up at the year mark for my account like RealCartoon3D did...but I was still working on it. I have received a lot of good feedback, and decided to try to bring more of the V13 features people enjoyed. Keeping a realistic look as best I could; but not too real...since that seems to pull away from what this checkpoint has been doing. Overall, I have really enjoyed the outcome and I hope you all do as well.

    And here she is, version 16 - thank you. I totally agree: a realistic model shouldn't be too real. As well as a cartoon model shouldn't be too... cartoonish. Reality is already there, around us. In a realistic model I look for that missing "something" that my imagination has to provide to carry me from the image to "reality" (which is, often, a memory). In a cartoon model I look for that added "something" my imagination uses to acknowledge the image as something "more" of a 2D cartoon. It's complicated, I am afraid, but this is why I like your models so much. Thanks again.

    I think you described that really well....and in words, explained what I am always looking for in these two versions. :)

    I really love your models. But for me the standard is V15. Partly because it is more realistic. After all, the prefix “realistic” in this model obliges it to be so. V16 has gone too far from realism. It's like you've upset some kind of balance. I may be wrong, perhaps this is what you were trying to achieve. And of course I really respect and love your models. But at this stage I will choose V15 for myself. This is my personal preference.

    :) Thank you for the feedback. It is fun to try to find that balance on this model especially, but I think I like V15 for more photo realism and V16 for that fantasy realism. :) I think I am getting closer to the overall look for this model though.

    @7whitefire7 Thank you for your models. In any case they are very good.

    Hey, I really love your models, but I do prefer V15 to 16. And since I basically only create here with the Civitai generator, I also have the problem that it seems to, more often than not, not work at all. Meaning, no pictures are created.
    Would it be possible to offer V15 as an option to create here as well? Because right now I can ONLY use V16 here.

    V15 is better, V16 is too cartoony.

    I loved version 14... the new one is terrible. I used it for the realism, not for a cartoony version, I could just use Real Cartoon for that.
