Chimera's 9-Way Photoreal Mix

I'm no naming genius.

Photoreal is just marketing bs, but yeah, the texture is pretty good. I know it's an oversaturated model type, but hopefully this one has some qualities you'll enjoy.

The product of haphazard experimental alchemy with Supermerger, the outcome was a lot better than I expected. The goals going in pretty much came through, sheer blind luck. It's a similar premise to Ares Mix's idea of using an anime core to expand pose repertoire; as well as the dramatic dark lighting capacity from Experience.

Experience Realistic / Ares Mix / Deliberate

Liberty / URPM / Realistic Vision

Yesmix / Sparkling Nectar / Perfect World

I highly recommend this negative embedding. It has an extremely powerful effect on outputs, see the examples. From what I've seen it usually kills the ability to have dark images unless you use [x:n.n] to keep it off for a certain number of steps, which allows the model to set the scene. And it loves freckles, so be sure to neg that out if needed.

I initially didn't think this needed a VAE, most the example images don't have one active. The blonde lady and embedding on/off compares do. It's pretty acceptable without, but use the good ol' vae-ft-mse-840000-ema-pruned to kick it up a notch.

I'll be adding the intermediate constituents of the mix to this post at some point, you can pop them through Supermerger to play with them or whatever. Mainly I just need to rescue some disk space.

If the anime model looks interesting, it'll be up soon. I was going to stick it here but maybe it's worth its own post.
