I originally set out to create a checkpoint for generating realistic mecha with Illustrious.
However, completely unintentionally, it also became very capable of generating realistic female characters.
It seems to perform especially well with Asian beauty types.
This checkpoint is particularly strong at rendering materials such as:
Metal
Fabric
Rubber
Industrial surfaces
On the other hand, background generation is not its strongest area.
For best results, I recommend using background-focused LoRAs when needed.
