Willy's Realism

This model represents the new Willy’s Realism line and is now considered the Primary branch, while the original Willy’s Noob Realism model is considered the Legacy branch.

Version Information

Core v1

This model was rebuilt from the ground up to serve as a clean, consistent baseline for realistic image generation using a Noob-based foundation. While it uses many of the same modern resources and backbone models as previous versions, this version focuses on improving overall generation quality, and upscaling performance without the compounding issues caused by heavy merge inbreeding.

Prompting methods remain very similar to Willy’s Noob Realism, and users familiar with the Legacy branch models should feel right at home.

Because this is a fresh baseline, some of the more specific improvements or quirks from previous versions are not fully carried over yet. These will be reintroduced over time as the model continues to evolve.

Recommended Settings:

TL:DR - Prompt normally using the Noob quality tags. For realism add tags like "detailed, realistic, photorealistic, hyper realistic, sharp focus". My personal favorite generation settings are Euler Ancestral or DPM++ SDE with Beta but feel free to play around and find something you like. CFG range of 4-6 works best for most images.

Recommended prompting format:

<quality tags>, detailed, realistic, photorealistic, hyper realistic, sharp focus, <style tags>, <character tags>, <pose tags>, <background tags>  

Positive prompt example:

masterpiece, best quality, absurdres, newest, detailed, hyper realistic, (realistic:1.25), (photorealistic:1.25), (sharp focus:1.15), 1girl, anthro, wolf, grey fur, fully-clothed, standing, looking at viewer, posing, bedroom,

Recommended negative prompt:

blurry background, low res, out of focus, (blurry:1.2), worst aesthetic, early, old, worst quality, anime, manga, cgi, illustration, digital artwork, 3d render, (painting, picture frame), watermark, text,

If you are getting unwanted humans or human-like body parts add "human" to the negative.

These are my personal recommendations, but feel free to experiment and use what ever settings you feel works for you!

Common Problems:

My recommended settings are just my personal recommendations for use with ComfyUI and have not been properly tested with other front ends.

If you are seeing artifacts please make sure your generation settings are set correctly and that you are using the correct VAE. Reforge may use a bugged VAE by default.

This model uses V-Prediction and related settings may need to be set manually.

Some Loras trained on EPS models can cause issues with color, lighting, or other aspects of your image when used with this model. Not all Loras will have these problems.
