CyberIllustrious | CyberRealistic is a highly specialized Image generation AI Model of type Safetensors / Checkpoint AI Model created by AI community user Cyberdelia. Derived from the powerful Stable Diffusion (Illustrious) model, CyberIllustrious | CyberRealistic has undergone an extensive fine-tuning process, leveraging the power of a dataset consisting of images generated by other AI models or user-contributed data. This fine-tuning process ensures that CyberIllustrious | CyberRealistic is capable of generating images that are highly relevant to the specific use-cases it was designed for, such as base model, realistic, illustrious.
With a rating of 0 and over 0 ratings, CyberIllustrious | CyberRealistic is a popular choice among users for generating high-quality images from text prompts.
Yes! You can download the latest version of CyberIllustrious | CyberRealistic from here.
To use CyberIllustrious | CyberRealistic, download the model checkpoint file and set up an UI for running Stable Diffusion models (for example, AUTOMATIC1111). Then, provide the model with a detailed text prompt to generate an image. Experiment with different prompts and settings to achieve the desired results. If this sounds a bit complicated, check out our initial guide to Stable Diffusion – it might be of help. And if you really want to dive deep into AI image generation and understand how set up AUTOMATIC1111 to use Safetensors / Checkpoint AI Models like CyberIllustrious | CyberRealistic, check out our crash course in AI image generation.
CyberIllustrious V5 marks a significant leap forward in realism, skin rendering, and overall image fidelity. Building on the strengths of V4, this version introduces enhanced skin tones, richer colors, and greater anatomical accuracy—delivering more lifelike and emotionally resonant results right out of the box.
V5 isn't just a visual upgrade; it's a comprehensive refinement. Facial features, especially eyes, have improved structure and clarity even before applying post-process tools. Lighting behavior has been fine-tuned for more natural highlights and shadows, while subtle details like pores, fabric texture, and color gradients feel more tactile and cohesive.
As always, the choice of negative prompts and samplers still plays a crucial role in shaping the final output, especially when pushing toward photo-realism—but V5 offers more flexibility and consistency across styles and workflows.
