NOTE: All my images are uploaded with embedded ComfyUI workflow which is alas incompatible with CivitAI processing and most often prompt cannot be retrieved. You can however download the original PNG image with the workflow included by clicking on the "DOWNLOAD" icon in the image viewer.


If you enjoy my contribution to this community, feel free to buy me a coffee: the more caffeine I drink the more models I can create πŸ˜…

Now

Comparison gallery here: Ev4 - Ev3 and Fv1 - Ev4

Current SOTA model in my experiment:

  • Base model: Fv1 or Ev4 (if you accept unexpected NSFW) or Cv6... Fv1/Ev4 are biased toward NSFW, but still better in many aspects.

  • NSFW model: Fv1

  • Illustration : Fv1 (NSFW) or Cv6 (SFW)

Starting from E serie, models are evolving sometimes by merging with other models (thanks to other contributors!), but mostly via training on my own dataset: a modest dataset (~2000 images currently), but I try to somehow compensate with quality and originality.

Starting with Fv1, I have included many synthetic images I created using previous versions: playing hard with prompt and retouching when necessary the result in Photoshop in order to have a dataset which contains many original images.

Future

I will focus on improving my dataset further, often by creating synthetic images using my SOTA models.

Serie E will be pushed if possible a bit more towards general purpose model (a bit less prone to produce unwanted NSFW images for example) and more capable of creating illustrations in order to replace Cv6.

Serie F will be pushed more towards "unhinged" NSFW ^-^ I will also strongly push it so as it is capable of creating NSFW illustrations, but in a very different direction than anime/Pony style because it is not really the style I like and there are plenty enough pony models already. But obviously I don't have the "power" of the Pony creators, so don't expect too much here.

And when it is time and tools are available and training is reasonable easy, I will use my dataset to create a fine tune of Flux I guess as this one seems to be the SD3 we all hoped for.

Past


The core idea behind this model was to create a versatile tool by merging some of the best existing models which fits my personal taste (photography and fantasy art to make it simple). My primary goals were:

  1. Photorealism: The ability to produce stunningly realistic images of both people and objects/nature.

  2. Flexibility: The ability to create highly stylized images, allowing for artistic expression through various styles and combinations of artists. I am from a older generation and comes from Europe so "style" does not mean for me "Japanese kawaii aime with boobs" or "DC Comics cartoon with lots of superheroes and voluptuous blonde babes" but more from a univers of Frank Frazetta, Milo Manara, Boris Vallejo, H.R.Giger, Wojtek Siudmak and such fantasy art masters: there are boobs involved for sure, but the style is somewhat different :P

  3. As I doesn't like being limited in my exploration of the human body, the idea is also to have a fairly capable NSFW model. However, dur to the nature of available training images in the data sets, NSFW often comes with a strong bias toward either porn photos or porn Japanese anime and impact the flexibility (typically as soon as you use the word "sexy" in your prompt you need to weight in the style). This point is thus NOT the priority for the base model but is pushed forward in the NSFW model.

Currently this imply having THREE different model branches depending on the usage (but all are actually quite versatile and none are specialised). Currently branch C is a bit more mature (6 versions so far) and versatile because I push less NSFW stuff and is thus less biased. Branch B is more pushed toward NSFW and thus tends to be a bit biased. Branch E is a new branch spawned from C and is currently a WIP: I will push it more towards some sort of creativity in the future probably. Branch A is now deprecated.

Image Generation Settings

See the examples images of each model for some suitable settings :)

And obviously you can play with the settings.

Additionally, for enhancing details, I recommend using the Add More Details - Detail Enhancer Tweaker LoRA. This can be applied with a strength far beyond 1 (e.g. 5) to significantly enhance image details.

Other combinations of settings also work well, but this configuration consistently produces excellent results.

Example Images

The example images provided are raw outputs from the model. They may use the "add details" LoRA, or face refiner or sometimes (but I try to avoid that) personal Loras.

Hope you will find this model useful :) Enjoy!

Model Versions & Includes Models

Version past Cv6

See the description of the version itself for information about models included.

Version Cv6

Added models:

  • pixelAlchemy_v22

  • artUniverse_v40

Version Cv5

No specific model added but merged with some previous test I made, so the recipe is "not well understood but tasty" :)

Version Cv4

Added models:

  • pixelAlchemy_v16

  • pixelAlchemy_HyperCFG

  • pixelwave_10

Version Bv4

Added models:

  • level4XL_vA04

  • HelloworldXL_60

Version Cv3

Added models:

  • realismEngineXL_v30

  • projectUnrealEngine5_v10

  • pixelAlchemy_v13

  • anterosXXXL_v10

Faces are less stereotyped and skin texture and NSFW capability quite a bit better. Framing tend to be a bit more narrow which may require to play with the prompt to widen the view.

Version C: New Base Model

Added models:

  • realvisXL_v40

  • RealitiesEdgeX_V7

  • robsMixUltimate_v10

  • SevenofXL_NSFW_v94

This is a "better A" version supposed to become the new base model. It improves the A version with a bit better everything :)

But overall, compared to A I would say it has richer composition, is a bit better as NSFW (but version B is still the best one for NSFW stuff) while mostly keeping its ability to stylise even if it may sometimes requires a bit more weighting in your prompt towards "illustration".

I consider version C replacing A as the base model for me, but feel free to disagree ;)

Models used in versions A/B

  • ElysiumXL_v10

  • NewrealityXL_40

  • Haveallsdxl_v10

  • AcornIsBoningXL_v10

  • JuggernautXL_X

  • Onlyfornsfw118_v20

  • EpicrealismXL_v7

Version A: Base Model

  • Goal: To provide a highly versatile base model capable of producing both beautiful photorealistic and stylized images. NSFW is also possible with this model if you ask kindly in your prompt.

Version B: Enhanced NSFW Model based on A

  • Goal: To enhance NSFW capabilities, sometimes at the expense of stylization, which can be managed by adjusting weights in the prompt. Girls tend to be also a bit less dressed with this model even if you don't ask for it ^-^

What is The Araminta Experiment?

The Araminta Experiment is a highly specialized Image generation AI Model of type Safetensors / Checkpoint AI Model created by AI community user aramintastudio. Derived from the powerful Stable Diffusion (Flux.1 D) model, The Araminta Experiment 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 The Araminta Experiment is capable of generating images that are highly relevant to the specific use-cases it was designed for, such as photorealistic, base model, woman.

With a rating of 0 and over 0 ratings, The Araminta Experiment is a popular choice among users for generating high-quality images from text prompts.

Can I download The Araminta Experiment?

Yes! You can download the latest version of The Araminta Experiment from here.

How to use The Araminta Experiment?

To use The Araminta Experiment, 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 The Araminta Experiment, check out our crash course in AI image generation.

About this version: Flux1-A1

Here it is : my very first Flux fine tuning!

Flux.1 is really quite an amazing foundation model and it seems that Lora are very efficient, so I did use the dataset I built for my SDXL model to create several Loras specialised on specific concepts and then merged them with Flux-Dev-FP8. A few available Loras available here have also been included such as FaeTasticDetails.

This version is so a "Dev-FP8" model which includes CLIP and VAE.

It obviously has to be considered as a very early model and the journey is just starting :)
