⭐ Illustrious Renaissance v2 Beta A.17

A preview of what’s coming next.

This is not the final version — but it’s already more capable than v1.0.D15.

🧬 What’s New in v2 Beta A.17

This beta brings a significant leap forward in capability and range. Built on expanded datasets from Realism from HaDeS v9.0, with heavy integration of sci-fi content (yes, because I love sci-fi — and if someone doesn’t like that, well… too bad 😄), this version opens new creative horizons while staying true to the model’s hyperrealistic roots.

Despite still having some bugs and inconsistencies, v2 Beta A.17 already outperforms v1.0.D15 in terms of lighting, anatomy, fidelity, and versatility — especially in editorial and narrative-driven generations.

🧪 Key Beta Additions

• Enhanced prompt diversity and better handling of complex scenes

• Integration of Realism from HaDeS v9 for even finer textures

• Improved rendering of sci-fi, futuristic fashion, cybernetic elements, and dystopian themes

• Greater depth, contrast, and a more cinematic edge

🚧 Known Issues

• Some instability in multi-subject prompts

• Occasional over-saturation or flickering in complex lighting

• NSFW generations can still be too eager under certain prompts — this will be fine-tuned

• Hand generation is still inconsistent — this will be addressed and improved in the final release

• Still under development, so please expect quirks here and there

🔞 About NSFW

Yes, v2 does generate NSFW content — but that's something each user should try for themselves. Right now, NSFW isn’t my personal priority during testing, as I’m focused on realism, depth, and control. That said, I’ve run a few NSFW prompts just to test it, and from what I’ve seen: it works and it’s functional — very much in line with the Illustrious Renaissance line of work.

⭐ What’s New in V1.D15

This update brings minor but impactful enhancements:

• Improved color rendering for richer tones and natural balance

• Slightly better prompt adherence, especially in complex compositions

• Overall output quality improved subtly but noticeably

🏷️ Illustrious Renaissance (A.K.A. "IR")

Hyper-realism refined. A new standard in visual fidelity.

🧬 Overview:

Illustrious Renaissance is a next-generation realism-focused model that merges the powerful base of Illustrious with the fine-tuned photorealistic dataset of Realism from HaDeS XL.
Built exclusively for strict realism, IR does not reproduce anime or stylized outputs. Instead, it delivers stunningly lifelike portraits, detailed skin texture, natural lighting, and cinematic visual depth with a strong editorial finish.

⭐ Key Features:

• 🔹 Pure realism: no anime, no illustration — only true-to-life rendering

• 🔹 Fusion base: Illustrious + Realism from HaDeS XL

• 🔹 Exceptional lighting and dynamic shadows

• 🔹 Rich color grading and photorealistic skin tones

• 🔹 Outstanding NSFW capability: lifelike but tasteful, only activated if prompted (although NSFW content may occasionally be generated unintentionally — especially when prompts include terms like “large proportions.” This behavior will be addressed in future updates)

• 🔹 Good prompt adherence with room for improvement — even with complex scenes, poses, and LORAs

• 🔹 Optimized for editorial portraits, cinematic visuals, and realistic NSFW work

• 🔹 Unlike most checkpoints, Illustrious Renaissance handles age-related prompts very well — from elderly subjects with natural features to youthful or middle-aged characters. Perfect for historical portraits, modern diversity, and multi-generational scenes.
