Version 3 CelestReal
Back to the drawing board with a change to the base models.
AniMayhem -Pale rider - True Grit version
Ultra Realistic v2- by Stable Yogi
Hyphoria Real [Illu] v5 - by ecaj
This is a swing back towards the semi-realistic and much closer to my original vision for this merge.
Style Highlights:
- Default look is a soft semi-realism that works across portraits, scenes, and NSFW
- Handles dynamic action poses, intimate compositions, and cinematic lighting without distortion
- Excels in detailed anatomy and smooth skin rendering
- character recognition is good, but some characters don't lend themselves to semi-realistic or photorealistic images without strange outcomes.
Style Tuning Tips:
- Add "anime" and/or "anime style" to re-enforce a more anime style.
- Add "realistic" and/or "photorealistic" to swing more towards lifelike results.
- leave both out for the default look.
Recommended Defaults:
- Steps: 25–40
- CFG: 4–6
- Sampler: DPM++ 2M Karras or Euler A
- Clip Skip: 2
- Resolution: Portrait 896×1120 or scenic 1024×1536
Upscale or face fix for mid distance and further. Most of the showcase images were created with a basic workflow and no upscale. Look at those for my personal settings. Things only get better with extended workflows!
Experiment and share!
As always - respect the original model makers licensing and the Civit TOS.
