**Base Realistic — REKTY Edition** A photorealistic checkpoint based on FLUX 3 Image Klein, base variant (undistilled / f3-image-small), developed and experimentally tuned in-house by REKTY. Optimized specifically for realistic portraiture: natural skin texture, fine fabric weave, strand-by-strand hair, and clean color rendering without excess noise. This is the full base variant — not the distilled version. It needs more sampling steps, but gives you far more creative room: guidance you can actually push, richer contrast, and the fine detail that fast variants tend to lose. Everything is baked into a single file — just load it, no extra nodes needed. Recommended settings: - Sampler: euler - Scheduler: simple - Steps: 50 - CFG: 3.5 - Resolution: 1024×1024 / 832×1216 (portrait) / 1216×832 (landscape) - Negative prompt: active (see below) This is NOT a distilled model. Do not use fast-model settings (16 steps + CFG 1.0) — the output will be washed out, flat, and full of artifacts. Minimum 25 steps; 50 steps is the sweet spot. Suggested negative prompt: blurry, lowres, deformed hands, extra fingers, oversaturated, plastic skin, watermark, text, logo, cartoon, anime, 3d render CFG at 3.5 gives crisp contrast and pop. Raise it to 4.5–5.0 for a more dramatic look, or drop it to 2.5–3.0 for a softer, more natural result. Prompt tip: write a full scene This model performs best with long prompts — a single paragraph covering subject + outfit + location + lighting + camera/lens + color palette + mood + style. Example: Editorial fashion portrait of a young woman with long black hair, standing in a narrow alley at dusk after rain, oversized charcoal wool coat over cream turtleneck, wet asphalt reflecting sodium streetlights, shot on 85mm f/1.8, soft key light from a shopfront, muted teal and amber palette, fine film grain, calm mood. A 3–5 word prompt will produce generic output far below this model's capability. Recommended for: - Portrait, editorial, fashion, street photography - Realistic Asian and global characters - Dramatic lighting / nighttime / neon bokeh — very strong in this class - Cases that need extra guidance control (high contrast, specific moods) --- Licensing & attribution Based on FLUX 3 Image Klein Base (undistilled) by Black Forest Labs (https://huggingface.co/black-forest-labs/flux-3-image-klein-base), modified and distributed under the FLUX Kommunity License v1.0.
