Model Overview

RINGO_Illustrious_Hybrid_BW_v1.0 is the third installment in the series, following MIKAN and SAKURA. By using a model renowned for its anatomical stability and prompt adherence as the base, while blending only the specific deep layers (Deep blocks) of a donor model specialized in facial expressions, this model achieves both structural consistency and captivating portrait aesthetics.


Key Features

  • —Optimized Block Weight Merge:
  • —Rather than blending all layers uniformly, only the deep U-Net blocks (IN07–08, MID, and OUT00–02)—which strongly govern facial structure and fine details—are blended at a 50% ratio.
  • —Natural and Beautiful Asian Portrait Aesthetics:
  • —Moves away from the overly smooth, porcelain-like look common in anime/semi-realistic models, enhancing skin shading, natural lip textures, and lifelike eyes.
  • —Improved Rendering for Hands, Fingers, and Props:
  • —Reduces deformities in complex poses (such as peace signs) and held objects (like apples).
