Tips

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

Lower CFG scale (1-1.8) yields more realistic images.

Please experiment with Lora weights to enhance model performance.

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
