UltraReal Fine-Tune

Ultra-Realistic Flux Fine-Tune v1

This is my first experiment in fine-tuning a checkpoint, built upon the foundations of my UltraReal LoRA and expanded with an extended dataset. The aim? To push realism to the next level, finding that sweet spot between amateur aesthetics and professional, high-quality visuals.

While this is only the first version and I see room for further refinement - the results are good, but not ideal (hands and feet can be broken sometimes, but situation is not critical, still better then defaul flux). This fine-tune isn’t just about amateur-quality outputs; it shines with professional-grade images, offering exceptional detail, lifelike shadows, and lighting. It’s a versatile model designed to unlock a wider range of realistic image generation possibilities.

This is very much a work in progress, and I’m sharing it to gather feedback and see how others use it creatively. If you test it, I’d love to hear your thoughts or see your results!
Also i uploaded both versions: fp16 (in ComfyUI it's better to use with e5m2) and fp8

🌟 What’s New in This Fine-Tune?

Expanded Dataset: Nearly double the dataset size of the original LoRA, covering a diverse range of styles, lighting, and compositions.Improved Realism: Sharper details, richer textures, and more natural lighting, bridging the gap between AI-generated and real-world imagery.Versatility: From casual amateur-style snapshots to cinematic, professional-quality renders, this fine-tune adapts to a variety of creative needs.Enhanced Anatomy: Better hands, limbs, and more natural poses compared to the base Flux model.

💡 Tips for Best Results

Use DPM++ 2M samplers for smooth and consistent outputs.Aim for 30–50 steps for finer details without overdoing it.Select the Beta Scheduler for optimal rendering performance.

⚡ Why Fine-Tune?

This fine-tune was crafted to overcome some of the limitations of the default Flux model. It enhances its ability to handle complex scenes while maintaining consistent quality across a range of prompts. The goal is simple: make ultra-realistic image generation accessible, reliable, and visually stunning, without requiring endless adjustments.

P.S: i plan to train this model more to make ultimate checkpoint with best anatomy and realism. This version is not very good with nsfw (this will be fixed in next version)
