Tips

For people and faces, avoid DDPM sampler; use DPM++ 3M SDE or Euler instead.

Experiment with Lora weights, they can be gamechanging in this model.

Lower CFG scale (1-1.8) tends to produce more realistic images.

Version Highlights

if you see when V0.5 was released, you can imagine how hard it was for me to create a better version that is really better in all areas.

This is the result of probably 100 different versions.

  • more Details

  • better colors at low cfg

  • better faces (and more variance) (not perfect)
    For people and faces, you should not use DDPM. Use DPM++ 3M SDE or Euler

Update v0.5:

Small improvements

- better skin, teeth and eyes in humans

- more details

I am still working on the following improvements

- deformed faces / displaced eyes

- faces from a distance

- xxx

Update v0.3:

It's just a small update to fix some issues from v0.1.

It doesn't change every subject, but some improve.

I haven't had a picture in about 1000 pictures where v0.3 wasn't better, so the upgrade is definitely worth it.

I can notice the following improvements:

  • a bit sharper

  • more realistic

  • a bit more creative

  • a bit more possibilities to get nicer hands/faces on full body photos
