Updates: 2/1/24- Uploaded version 14 Please check the "about version" for details.

RealCartoon3D V1 is my first model uploaded. The reason for the upload was to share the fruit of trying to get a checkpoint to do what I wanted it to do when prompted. Some goals for this checkpoint were as follows:

• 1. Variety in humans (I.E. African, European, Asian, etc). I did not want it just producing the same look I saw everywhere.

• 2. Produce realistic flaws in skin (just adds to the realism).

• 3. Do well with LoRAs.

The mission was/is to attempt to get this checkpoint to a point where it will do well on first attempt or second attempt with prompts (my computer is just a gaming laptop that gets really hot when doing things like this lol).

I have learned a lot in the process and even started other checkpoints (RealCartoon-Anime, Realistic, Pixar) to give a more focused variation. This checkpoint being the basis for all of them. I always keep this one merged in all the updates of the others.

I hope you all enjoy it! Please review and share your images. I very much appreciate the support with the downloads and feedback (THANK YOU ALL). Never thought it would get this much attention.

The Process:

The starting checkpoints for merging were a couple of top ones of course (The checkpoints do/did not have restrictions on checkpoint mergers. These are in my recommended resources as well). I also baked in the VAE (vae-ft-mse-840000-ema-pruned). I tried ClearVAE, but it would mess up from time to time (which may have been my computer). I did not want this issue to fall to anyone that downloaded this model, so I did not use that VAE. Sadly, I did not have the resources to train from scratch; but found that many people would just train off these checkpoints anyway. As time moved on, I would try to find checkpoints that had a look or cool backdrop (or odd result sometimes) that would help the overall look (again avoiding those that had restrictions with merging, as I do not want to mess up anyone's work or get lost in licensing). One issue that would always seem to show up was hands being messed up. They just did not come out right (as many checkpoints seemed to have a problem with); but as I kept moving forward in merging, the hands seemed to get better. I would then look for LoRas to influence the look and style (Ones used are in the resource section). These LoRas were not to take over the checkpoint but help mold it per say. As I wanted the user to have control of this. Since that is the point of LoRas.

Overall, this checkpoint moved up in versions quickly as it got figured out. Eventually it started to really go where I wanted with Version 3.0, 3.1, and then of course Version 4 (slowing down a bit in the updates as well). I still like the older versions; and they did influence the RealCartoon-Pixar and Anime directions.

The Settings:

• Width: 512 (flip width and height if doing landscape style image)

• Height: 768 (have done up to 1028, but recently been using 904 for portrait style images)

• Sampling Method: "Eular A" became pretty much the default as versions moved along, but "DPM++ SDE Karra" and "DPM++ 2M Karras" are favorites for me as well.

• Sampling steps: 30-50 normally (30 being my starting point, but going up to 45 a lot of the time). This depending on prompt as well.

• Hires.fix settings: Upscaler (R-ESRGAN 4x+, 4k-UltraSharp most of the time), Hires Steps (10-20), Denoising Str (0.34 - 0.45 normally), Upscale (1.5 or 2 does well)

• Clip Skip: 2

Would run ADetailer if subject is in the distance as SD1.5 can sometimes fail at this. Be careful if you have blurred subjects in backgrounds; as this can start "enhancing them" and thus mess with the overall look.

Some settings I run on the web-Ui to help get the images without crashing:

set COMMANDLINE_ARGS=--opt-sdp-no-mem-attention --lowvram --opt-split-attention --xformers

Why So Many Versions:

Because I wanted to share all the results that I felt reached a desired outcome. Allowed me to have fun, and I saw that many enjoyed them. Which motivated me to keep trying. Again, thank you.
