Project: Touching Grass

The best LoRA for grass details.

Sharing merges using this LoRA, re-printing it to other platforms, are prohibited. This model only published on Civitiai and TensorArt. If you see "me" and this sentence in other platforms, all those are fake and the platform you are using is a pirate platform.

This LoRA is for natural details.

It contains and only contains ~1K real world photographs.

• Daily objects, places, natural environment, etc. No human. So it will not "pollute" your characters. Can be used on both anime and realistic models.

• Very diverse and creative. High quality. High contrast. Full of details. (That's why they are "photographs")

• Paired with natural captions from LLM. Mainly because WD tagger v3 is really bad at real world images. Also because natural captions have more diverse vocabularies and can avoid overfitting.

What's the effect?

It really depends on your base model. Here is a quick comparations on WAI v13. This model has very strong AI style (trained on AI images).

With/without.

• Pixel level natural details. A so-called "detailer". But instead of training on AI images to amplify fake details from noise to generate more fake objects. This LoRA focuses on natural texture. Less flat and smooth feelings. Notice the food, clothes, light reflection on the table, depth of field and blurry background.

• Better background structural stability. Anime dataset doesn't contain much background knowledge. Most of are just "simple background". Even if some of them have some kind of background, they may be abstract art and lacking proper tags. So the base model will forget it or learn weird things during training. This LoRA was trained with tons of background/environment images with strong structural features.

How to use?

• No trigger word needed.

• You don't have to set the patch strength for text encoder. This LoRA does not patch it.

• Lower your CFG scales (-30%) for better details.

I got realistic faces on my anime characters.

Don't blame this LoRA, it has zero knowledge of realistic faces. Most likely your base model was mixed with other realistic models, probably for better texture and lighting as well.

Share merges using this LoRA is prohibited. FYI, there are hidden trigger words to print invisible watermark. It works well even if the merge strength is 0.05. I coded the watermark and detector myself. I don't want to use it, but I can.

Update log

(4/15/2025) v0.2:

+30% images. Because there is a bug causing all avif files not being used in v0.1. Which is 30% of the dataset. lol.

Changed some parameters. Stronger, cleaner and more stable effect.

(4/02/2025) v0.1: init release.
