Overview

This model is built based on the architecture of the NOOBAI XL-VPred 1.0, with some structural modifications. It is trained on the Danbooru2024 dataset along with Yande Full and e621, and using NOOBAI XL-VPred 1.0 and Illustrious XL 1.0 as teacher models during training.
- In version 2.0: I have used the old data along with additional real-life character data more than 50k images from various source on the internet.
- In version 3.0, I refactored the dataset and added more dataset labels using ChatGPT o3-mini, followed by a manual recheck.
For version 1.0: This model focuses on balancing multiple art styles (through the use of trigger prompts) and good anatomy when generating images.
For version 2.0: This version focuses heavily on improving anatomy and enables the creation of more realistic characters (through the use of trigger prompts). Note that this version may reduce the quality of image generation across multiple art styles.
For version 3.0: This version can generate images in multiple styles (similar to version 1.0) while also creating more realistic characters (more lifelike compared to version 2.0) with improved anatomy. However, to achieve the desired image, you need to input a precise descriptive prompt, as it significantly impacts the output.

Important Note

I personally reconstructed this model, so I’d greatly appreciate any feedback. Your insights won’t just motivate me but will also help me better understand its strengths and weaknesses, allowing me to refine it in the future.
This is a V-prediction model (unlike epsilon-prediction), which requires specific parameter configurations. Please refer to the user guide here.

Currently, the model is not available for use via Civitai Generation. You can visit the following website to use it:

Settings for Generating Realistic Characters

Note:

I don’t use any post-processing or LoRA to enhance the example images. They are generated solely using these settings and prompts with my base model.
For comparison and independent evaluation, I used prompts from various sources and authors to generate these example images.
