UltimateRealisticMix XL

Hey, you can get a sharper picture and some other optimizations with the V2 version! However, the V1 version is more creative, but the screen clarity will not be as good as V2 as well as redundant generation in some specific cases.

Although SD3 has been released, there are still considerable limitations and uncertainties. XL is good enough now and has some potential for improvement.

In the making of this model, I wanted the new model to come close to the excellent detailing of SD3, and to outperform the current SD3 in terms of aesthetics and structure.

My goal is to have the model be one of the best XL Reality models out there. Though that's not very realistic haha.

Features

• Specializes in realistic photo-like image generation

• The generated images have good structure and exquisite detail performance

• The color performance and contrast performance are excellent. The semantic understanding ability may be a little better than most XL models.

• It is not good at non-realistic painting styles such as illustrations and animations.

• High dynamic range image generation from pure black to pure white can be achieved without Model Sampling Continuous EDM.

• The comprehensive generation can be relatively balanced, and various types of real images can be completed well

• Whether it is simple or complex prompts, images can be generated well

Test parameters

• CFG range: 1-8 ranges have achieved good generation quality. It is recommended to use 2-4 ranges. The generated images will be more realistic and not too strong.

• Sampler: Compatible with most samplers

• Scheduler: Compatible with most schedulers

• Resolution range: It can support high-quality generation of any image within 512 to 1536 resolution, and can achieve up to 4096 resolution image generation with HiDiffusion.

• steps: It is recommended to use more than 20 steps to achieve better quality without using accelerated lora

• Lora: Only accelerated lora has been tested, which is perfectly compatible. Other types of lora have not been tested. It is estimated that the compatibility with illustration anime style lora is not good.

The scheduler used in my test is: AlignYourStepsScheduler, and the sampler is: dpmpp.2m_sde_gpu. It is only for reference. This does not mean that other samplers or schedulers are inappropriate. Their effects are also very good. You can choose according to your preferences.

Since Civitai cannot automatically identify the generation parameters from the workflow images, you need to add them manually one by one. Please wait for good news. Or you can go to the Google and OpenAI websites to find the corresponding prompts. Most of the prompts for the example images of this model come from them.

You can also view the used workflow within comfyui by downloading the original image.

Please note:

• The main goal of this model is to achieve strong generic generation capabilities. Therefore, it will not be trained specifically for a single concept, for example, to enhance the results for portraits, as this would destabilize the model for other rich concepts to a certain extent.

• However, this does not mean that it will be bad at generating a specific concept, on the contrary, it will still be able to generate good images and have more creative freedom than a specialized model.

• If you need strong control over a specific concept you can use the lora technique with this model, just give lora a small weight and it can be sensitively influenced to change the model from a generic generator to a single concept-enhanced generator.

Recommend a set of generic cue words that I use regularly:

• Positive:

focus, masterpiece, very clear, best quality, High quality, high detail, high resolution, error-free, Cinematic composition

• Negative:

NSFW, deformity, low quality, low resolution, blurry, unclear, wrong, watermarked, noisy, soft, deformed, ugly, deformed, mutated, Lens shake, distortion

It's a gift. Have fun.

I'm glad you've made it this far. Let me clarify that this model was customized for my own needs and is not designed to cater to everyone. It is solely intended for the generation or re-creation of photorealistic images and has not been specifically optimized for any independent concept such as NSFW content. It is not suited for a wide variety of artistic styles; it focuses only on realistic imagery. Additionally, there are plenty of other excellent models within the community that are also used for generating realistic images.

Given the limitations of the XL architecture, it's rare for one outstanding model to completely outperform others, except for some truly poor models. Most high-quality models have their own strengths and weaknesses.

So, please assess whether you truly need this model before downloading it. If you already have another excellent realistic model, consider whether you really need to download another one. I don't want you to waste your valuable time downloading and comparing models, only to then complain about being tired of new model releases without seeing significant improvements in results. If you enjoy exploring out of sheer interest and don't mind how many models you download or how much time you spend, then by all means, feel free to use it.
