For this version I went back to 1.5 and redid the model stack on top of that. The goal here was to get photorealism back to the same level as version 1 without sacrificing any of the fantasy details. Well, It's not quite there yet, which is why this is not a version 3. The photorealism is still just a little but more difficult than I'd like, but after using this for the past couple days I've really grown to like it at its current state. Nipple textures are improved, and photorealism is a little bit easier to achieve. But it can still do digital art/fantasy really well at the same time. I did not intend on releasing this version, but after giving it some thought I couldn't come up with a good reason not to.
The pruned version here is an fp32 no-ema prune. Pruning it to fp16 is possible, but it changes the outputs slightly when using the same prompt/seed. I didn't want to upload something where the example images were not reproducible using their meta data, so I am not uploading a fp16 prune. But you can prune it yourself and still get the same fidelity. Just be aware that it won't produce the exact same image as the example images from their meta data. It will be slightly different, but still good. Example images use the same prompts as V2, but new seeds. The girl on the bed prompt was changed back to the v1 version as that prompt now plays nicely with v2.6. modelshoot style is still supported but not required.
The new Recipe (Look in model description to see what went into v1.5)
