UltraReal Fine-Tune

V4


 Alright, so what’s new in this version? I cranked up the aesthetic dial, added more diversity in ages, and improved how it handles Asian features. But - because there’s always a but - I did notice the hands got a little wonkier. Eh, can’t win ‘em all.


 I highly recommend pairing this with my LoRAs, like the realism amplifier, 2000s analog core, and others, since this checkpoint works best as a base for stylized LoRAs. Might do one more version (because, let’s be real, I kinda scuffed v3 and v4 a bit), but first, I’m diving into fine-tuning Flex.Alpha.

V3 Update (Experimental)
This release marks a step forward, although it’s still very much a work in progress. I focused on improving several key aspects, such as nudes, feet, and lower body anatomy. While the results are better than before, they’re not yet at the level I’m aiming for. That said, this version brings noticeable quality and texture enhancements, offering more detailed and refined outputs compared to the previous versions.


 Recommended Settings:


 CFG Scale: 3 (instead of 2.5 used in earlier versions)
Steps: 50 (helps with stability, though some minor instability remains in hands and fingers)
CFG 0.9 vs. 1.0: Lower CFG on 0.1 or even 0.2 may sometimes improve some details (may not improve, so feel free to expriment with this too), though it might take longer to generate.
Regarding nudes: they are still not working as intended, but I’m actively working on this issue and expect to address it in the next version.


 The good news is that I already have the datasets prepared for V3.5, which I aim to release much faster than the gap between V2 and V3. With more experience and feedback from this version, I’m confident the next update will deliver significant improvements.


 As always, I truly appreciate your support and feedback - it’s invaluable as I continue refining this project ❤️


 P.S.: I feel like the more I fine-tune Flux, the more it degrades in other areas. Also i thought about trying finetune Flex Alpha (project looks very promising)

v3 (experimental)-bf16

What's New in v2.0?


 Enhanced Anatomy: Hands, feet, and poses have seen major improvements, offering more natural and accurate results. Say goodbye to overly distorted limbs!


 Improved Textures &amp; Quality: Upgraded skin details, richer textures, and sharper results overall. Blurred images still happen occasionally, but much less frequently than in the previous version or when using LoRAs alone.


 Improved Text Rendering: Efforts have been made to improve the generation of text in images, and it’s much better than before. However, artifacts can still occur, and strange symbols might sometimes appear instead of readable words. This remains a work in progress.


 Expanded Dataset: A larger and more diverse dataset (1800 images) introduces better balance across styles, lighting, and compositions.
