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
I think V16 was nice; but lacked a bit of realism (as many of you I think agree on). So, I did a bit more work on it. V17 does better on the realism. This checkpoint is one of the more difficult ones of RealCartoon to land where I want it. Trying to keep that good variation (unreal things, fantasy, etc. but looking real) while trying to keep the people looking "real". Fun challenge and do enjoy the journey :) I hope you all enjoy this version as, again; the updates are slower.

Thank you so much. Still warm from the oven! I'll test it tomorrow. Let's see if it beats V15!
:) looking forward to seeing the results :)
Action prompts, such as "cross your legs" and "open your legs", are not executed at all. Is it that the normal prompt words don't work? How can I input them?
I find that for positions, controlnet is the way to go. I do try to get the prompt to pull it off, but if it is missing the mark I use that. You could reverse the command though. For example: “legs open” or “legs crossed”. Putting emphasis with () helps. If it still cannot then control net. Ty for pointing this out though. Will do some testing.
All females are Asian as usual in such models...
well I would not say all, as there are plenty of examples below to show otherwise; but yes it does seem that is a large part of the datasets :)
Hello, I'm leaving a comment after a long time.
I've been enjoying some fun with your checkpoint for nearly a year.
I've experienced it every time there's an update, but I end up using v13, which is my favorite model and one of your best outputs. I'm not complaining to you, and there's no reason for that. To me, your checkpoints are such a treasure. These days, there are good performance ai tools, but for personal reasons, I think I'll be using 1.5 more for a while. Anyway, always be happy and healthy.
(There might be some weird expressions because I used a translator.)
:) thank you. I am glad you enjoy them. I enjoyed making them and sharing them. I am a teacher....so VERY busy now and just life lol. I am thankful many enjoy RealCartoon!
A great model! An excellent combination of almost photorealistic quality with the flexibility of creative freedom of semi-realistic models! I really like this expressive contrasting style that it gives to the pictures. An excellent model! Thanks!
:) Ty
Whats the difference between v15 and v17?
17 contains information from 16. I normally build off the version before it. I did attempt to bring it a bit back to some of the look of 15. :)
@7whitefire7 ok thanks
When will be available for online site again?
Civitai for some reason moves things around. :/
@7whitefire7 its a shame, i think you have the best realistic (with space to imagination) model in civitai. V13 and v17 rocks
Very good model. It's a pity that it doesn't render like this on Pony and XL. Thank you.
We have to pay for it now?
?
@7whitefire7 I can’t access it anymore
@londsbe :( sadly I think Civitai is changing things up. I have noticed many checkpoints not for online run anymore I wish all of them were accessible. I cannot run them online either. Sorry :(
@7whitefire7 Oh I see. Well, thanks for a great model, it was my preferred while I could use it haha
ready for a flux version
Btw is there gonna be a version 18?
probably not
:)
very capable model,
can heartily recommend
Will it have pony version or Illu ?
