XenoMORPH (SFW/NSFW Consistent Scenes with Flexible Body Control)

Model/chekpoint created by iamxenos. Link to the model: https://civitai.com/models/290515

In my quest to find that "consistent" but "flexible" workflow for storytelling, game creation, and the like, I started playing with some new ideas and concepts. I came to the realization that if I paired a "Consistent" model with sliders/LoRas that could be used to "step through" some transformation and fun sequences like that - it actually worked well. So I started playing with this. (Backstory and ingredients are listed at the end).What Is This?XenoMORPH is a checkpoint that is both flexible and efficient at both portraits and scenery PLUS, it has been optimized for use with other LoRas and Sliders so that it holds the style and general aesthetic as best it can no matter what you throw at it. Many of the popular sliders and morphing type LoRas have been merged in here at VERY low levels to start out - so they don't really have much effect on the model, but then when you actually decide to "use" that LoRa, the checkpoint has already been "primed" so to speak. This means that changes to styles and outfits as you "morph" your subject into other things change a lot less since it's already got the idea from that initial "low level" merge as to where to go. In many cases that worked well - better than expected really. And in other cases, it doesn't seem to make a huge difference, but it's primed nonetheless.That means that:It should work well with most (decent) LoRas, Sliders, Embeds, etc.It pushes toward a realistic look, but style and aesthetic prompts and LoRas might change the "shape" of things (at low levels anyway) without affecting the actual style. It reduces the tendency to, for example, go from a dark dungeon to a Barbie dreamhouse as you use your favorite transformation/slider type LoRas at different weights. It's not perfect, but does a REALLY good job, IMO.Handles simple prompts REALLY well, and does a pretty good job with (most) more complicated prompts. I did find a few avenues where things get a bit weird - but that's true with just about every checkpoint I've ever tried.Need Help?

To change styles you'll want higher weights in the calls than your normal checkpoint. The plus side here is that you can often bring in some of the "shapes" and "colors" and other aspects of a style long before it "breaks" the reality look. So, for example, if you use my LucasArts Embedding here - you're get some of the fun shapes, hairstyles, clothing, background types and so on before it starts to actually get to it looking like "art/cg illustration".Larger Default Breast Size: One of the bigger tricks with offset breast sizes (prompted or with help of many sliders) is that the further you travel from the baseline, the more the style of the training data kicks in. By making default breasts larger - closer to the "middle" of that scale - the very small and very large sizes have a smaller offset difference and therefore don't fight as hard to change things. It's not perfect, but really helps a lot. NOTE: Want smaller breasts? - check the "BreastsOnly" XenoSlide from the section below. At negative numbers, you can dial them down and have very little effect on clothing or scenery.The Companion XenoSLIDEsAt this point, there's just one set, but I hope to add more for various other things as time goes by.XenoSLIDE - Bimbos & Boobs: 4 different sliders starting from a basic "tiny to larger" breast sizer all the way up to a full "Amazon Bimbo" type. See that page for more info. BackstoryIf you know me and/or the various models I've released over my tenure here on Civitai, you probably already know that I tend to enjoy transformation, corruption, and mind control themes. I'm also looking to have ways to "tell stories" in games, comics, or however else one might want to do that - but it's always hard to keep consistency from generation to generation.One of the biggest challenges of body transformations (such as bimbofication and the like) is that as you push toward your target, it also ends up changing the environment and the whole aesthetic of the image. If you've ever played with most Bimbo type Slider LoRas, you'll know that once you get up to the top, it can be hard to do things like avoiding pink walls and clothing, getting everything so it doesn't scream "Barbie World!"And so, this week's mission was to attempt to create something where you could have the widest range of flexibility, lots of options, and the least amount of impact on the overall image generation style across multiple generations. I started playing with a Slider Making Colab along with various model merges and seeing what I could do. Would it end up being a checkpoint? A Slider LoRa? Or... Both? (With multiple slider variations to suit various tastes and body types.)The answer, was... Both.Through LOTS of experimentation, I got to playing around with merging all kind of different things, but with a "slider" type concept, that's not going to work in a checkpoint. So I set out to make a checkpoint that simply LOVES Loras of all types and then sliders (one of my own creation plus merging in other sliders at specific weights to get specific results).The CheckpointA realistic base model but with a little extra "bustiness" added to the default character. (I'll get into the "why" of this in the "Reasoning" section, below.) I started by finding Plastic Reality by @Fizzlebomb3r. It is a bit overkill for my liking BUT... it looked like (aside from clothes tending to always be very low cut) it had a much easier time of putting people into the outfits you want than with most "bimbo" type things which just did a limited set of "slutwear" items. I then discovered Daring Hydra by @pyn - and I loved that the merge combined some of my favorite "portrait" models along with a bunch of "scenery" type things, too. And the overall aesthetic hit right where I like it.So... Plastic Reality got merged into Daring Hydra at a low weight to boost up the starting breast size. By doing this, I hoped that since the starting breast size was larger, "offset" sliders would end up starting with a clothing set already keyed toward larger breasts and it would cut down on the "Business Suit becomes a Latex Catsuit" effect.Then I merged in some of my XenoGRAPH and XenoGASM checkpoints and ended up with this beauty.

Comment from the publisher (me): the very first model (not LoRA) posted by me. Well, the first one is not mine, of course. I decided to post it, because I have a LoRA designed, for the most part, for this model. Such things.
