RealCartoon3D ⋆꙳ v13

★About this version: This version I tried to keep pushing the clarity and overall quality of the checkpoint. I was also able to get better response to age in it as well. This one also does landscape style images pretty nicely too :)

★The History: RealCartoon3D was my first model uploaded. I was still learning this stuff, but wanted to create a checkpoint to do what I wanted it to do when prompted with a look I enjoyed. Some goals for the checkpoint (updated as time went on):

1. Variety in humans (I.E. African, European, Asian, etc). I did not want it just producing the same look I saw everywhere.
2. Produce a cartoon look with a realistic touch
3. Do well with LoRAs. (because this is where the customization really happens) The mission was/is to attempt to get this checkpoint to a point where it will do well on first attempt or second attempt with prompts (my computer is just a gaming laptop that gets really hot when doing things like this lol...already kill the battery once).

I have learned a lot in the process and even started other checkpoints (RealCartoon-Anime, Realistic, Pixar, and 2.5D) to give a more focused variation. This checkpoint is the basis for all of them and gets a merge in from time to time to them. This one though will always be my main one though....even though that PIXAR one has a really nice look :P

I hope you all enjoy it! Please review and share your images. I very much appreciate the support with the downloads and feedback (THANK YOU ALL). Never thought it would get this much attention.

Overall, this checkpoint moved up in versions quickly as it got figured out. Eventually it started to really go where I wanted with Version 3.0, 3.1, and then of course Version 4 (slowing down a bit in the updates as well). I still like the older versions; and these older versions are what influenced the other RealCartoon checkpoints. As the look for this primary one got figured out.

✦Sampling methods DPM++ SDE Karra and DPM++ 2M Karras do well as well.

✦Upscaler is either R-ESRGAN 4x+ or 4k-UltraSharp for most of my images.

★Prompt Recommendations: ⋆When it comes to prompts that is really up to you. Here is some advice: ⋆Please be careful on the strength you add to LoRas as this can affect the overall look with the checkpoint. Stronger does not always mean better. I normally run 0.4 - 1 strengths depending on the LoRa. What is first in your prompt has higher priority. Having parathesis increases a priority, but having everything in them is almost as good as typing without them. Subtle changes in a prompt (to include punctuation) can change the image The seed helps in producing similar images with similar software and settings. It does not guarantee the same image as even a difference in software (I.E. ComfyUI) or hardware can affect it. If you want a more cartoon look (at least with this checkpoint) use the following near the front of the prompt: Anime, Cartoon, painted, or comic. This does not guarantee a look depending on the version; but it will lean more that way. This also works for Realistic looks (Realistic, real, etc). If you want Safe for work or not nudity to show up then make sure you put the following in your negative prompt: nude, nudity, naked, NSFW, nipples. Of course if you have this in your actual prompt then it will more then likely do it.

✱The following is what I normally run in a negative prompt (you can click on easynagative or badhandv4 to get the files): “ easynegative,(badhandv4),(bad quality:1.3),(worst quality:1.3),watermark,(blurry),5-funny-looking-fingers “
