<h3 id="heading-6">Merge of my favorite models - in the older models it was more suited for more illustrated style, from V4-V7 I wanted to go for heavier realism, especially in favor of realistic textures and lighting.

I have been content with this mix for a while now because in earlier mix the more creative / less realistic model has been dragging the quality down a little, and in this revision I aim to go all the way into a realistic style that I like, which is half high contrast texture heavy one like epiCRealism + Realistic Vision and mix them with another half that is more playful (the other three) but still on the realistic side to balance things out. Happy with all the generations so far will keep an eye out on it. <a target="_blank" rel="ugc" href="https://civarchive.com/models/25694/epicrealism">epiCRealism V3</a> - 30% + <a target="_blank" rel="ugc" href="https://civarchive.com/models/4201/realistic-vision-v30">Realistic Vision V3 </a>- 20% + <a target="_blank" rel="ugc" href="https://civarchive.com/models/71185/cyberrealistic-classic">CyberRealistic Classic V1.4</a><a target="_blank" rel="ugc" href="https://civarchive.com/models/4201/realistic-vision-v30"> </a>- 15% + <a target="_blank" rel="ugc" href="https://civarchive.com/models/57319/a-zovya-photoreal">A-Zovya Photoreal V2</a><a target="_blank" rel="ugc" href="https://civarchive.com/models/4201/realistic-vision-v30"> </a>- 15% + <a target="_blank" rel="ugc" href="https://civarchive.com/models/81458/absolutereality">AbsoluteReality V1.6</a><a target="_blank" rel="ugc" href="https://civarchive.com/models/4201/realistic-vision-v30"> </a>- 20%<hr />V3: <a target="_blank" rel="ugc" href="https://civarchive.com/models/79754/reliberate">Reliberate</a>: 50%, <a target="_blank" rel="ugc" href="https://civarchive.com/models/15003/cyberrealistic">CyberRealistic</a>: 30%, <a target="_blank" rel="ugc" href="https://civarchive.com/models/56967?modelVersionId=89855">majicMIX lux</a>: 20% Because of the whole Lyriel situation, in v3 I've decided to try out a new mix, while hopefully keeping the same balance between realism and 2.5D, if this works well I will be using the same mix going forward!
