Happy Accident: Presenting happyRealism (and its Inpainting version)

I accidentally created this model while running structural tests for my Python learning journey. It is a precise merge featuring exactly one-third of each of the following fantastic checkpoints:

• absoluteReality (v1.8.1)

• realisticVision (v6.0 B1 VAE)

• epiCRealism (Natural Sin)

During my testing, it proved to be an outstanding model—especially when interacting with IP-Adapter—delivering incredible facial accuracy along with great body proportions and rich details. I decided this happy accident deserved to be shared, so please welcome happyRealism.

All credit goes entirely to the brilliant creators of the original models (and well, a little shout-out to my Python coding partner, Google's AI).

All the example images were generated using some of my custom virtual models, a few fantastic outfit LoRAs from user Sentimental_wenlou, and a straightforward workflow utilizing IP-Adapter, with ReActor applied for the final touch.

No ADetailer, no Hi-Res Fix, no upscalers, or any other enhancement techniques were used—just pure generation to show the raw capabilities of this model.

Hope you enjoy it as much as I do!

P.S.: Although this is a great general-purpose model, I specifically wanted to share it because of how phenomenally well it performs with IP-Adapter. Since a user in the comments have asked how to replicate the preview images—which I don't think is possible using Civitai's on-site generator—I have attached an optional file. It includes the simplest possible ComfyUI workflow alongside a reference face image of one of my custom virtual models.

To run the workflow, you will need a local ComfyUI installation with the IP-Adapter and ReActor extensions ready to go.

While you can easily enhance the results by feeding multiple face angles into both IP-Adapter and ReActor, the setup works beautifully right out of the box exactly as it is.
