Tips

For NSFW content, consider the SDXXXL model.

Use Refiner switch at 0.9 on the first pass only.

Add hires_fix_refiner_pass to your quick list setting for UI convenience.

Look for settings under Setting -> Stable Diffusion in Auto1111.

Version Highlights

Realism, man and eyes improvement

Version 3.0 of the Realism Engine

In this version we improved the skin realism, the eyes. We also improved the Male anatomy.

Keep in mind that this is not a NSFW model. For that I recommend SDXXXL.

Introducing Version 2.0 of the Realism Engine

We are excited to announce that Version 2.0 of the Realism Engine is now available, featuring significant enhancements.

This updated model exhibits superior prompt responsiveness and offers markedly improved overall coherence, including more facial expressions, a greater variety of faces, more poses, and improved hands.

Additionally, we have addressed several quirks from the previous version, such as the challenges in generating nighttime scenes and the issue where increasing the CFG Scale enhanced color vividness without proportionally adjusting contrast. While being capable of producing NSFW content it is less likely to produce it without asking.

This version include the VAE to help newcomers with their setup.

Happy Prompting

Good news for the fans of the original Realism Engine

Realism Engine SDXL is here

Version 1.0 is officially out.

Here's the recommended setting for Auto1111

Sampler: DPM++ 2S a,

CFG scale range: 5-9,

Hires sampler: DPM++ SDE Karras,

Hires upscaler: ESRGAN_4x,

Refiner switch at: 0.9 (ON THE FIRST PASS ONLY)

Look for this in Setting -> Stable Diffusion
You can also add hires_fix_refiner_pass to you quick list setting to have it on top of you Ui

While this model hit some of the key goals I was reaching for, it will continue to be trained to fix the weaknesses.

I appreciate all the good feedback from the community.
