This model and its version(s) were merged for the sole purpose of finally having a decent out of the box consistent Realism model based on Noob.

!!! If you are getting noisy images, scroll down to "Common Problems" !!!

Recommended Settings:

TL:DR Its very simple, just prompt however you usually would for noob, but add "realistic", and "photorealism" after your quality tags.

I suggest using DPM++ 2m with Beta scheduler at a CFG of 5-7 and steps of 20-50, but feel free to experiment. Not all schedulers and settings work for everyone.

Here's a positive prompt example:

<Quality tags>, realistic, photorealism, <character tags>, <pose tags>, <background tags>  

And here's a filled in example:

masterpiece, best quality, highres, absurdres, (realistic, photorealistic), 1girl, solo, anthro, wolf, grey fur, posing, bedroom

And here is my recommended negative prompt:

worst quality, low quality, normal quality, monochrome, bad anatomy, ugly, (illustration, cartoon, anime), flat color, outline, smooth skin, blurry,

These are my personal recommendations, but feel free to experiment and use what ever settings you feel works for you!

Common Problems:

My recommended settings aren't set in stone, just my own personal preferences from testing and using the model in ComfyUI

Beta scheduler is not properly implemented in Forge and will result in heavily artifacted noisy images.

From my testing Beta scheduler does work in Reforge however some have been experiencing problems. I suggest you make sure Reforge is up to date before complaining to me. Otherwise most other samplers work perfectly fine in Reforge.

Nobody using A1111 has actually expressed any issues. If you are having issues with A1111, I would suggest verifying your settings.

Some people have also been experiencing small VAE artifacts while using Reforge. This is likely due to your VAE settings not being set correctly. This model uses the default sdxl.vae.safetensors sdxl VAE.

Other information:

This model was merged with Furries in mind, and I have not extensively tested the merge with human characters, although it appears to be fully capable of doing human. I have however extensively tested it with all kinds of different unique furry species, and its compatibility with Noob loras and from my testing, most species, character, and other related loras will work perfectly fine with this model merge.

I plan on making better versions of this over time as more resources come out, or if I have time to make some realism or other loras to fortify it.

If you have any issues, feedback, or suggestions feel free to let me know in the comments!
