This is an XL-DMD model, therefore, it is very important to follow the recommended parameters.

Imperfect Reality: Raw Edition

Is built around the idea that realism isn’t clean. It embraces visual flaws—grain, noise, uneven lighting, and subtle distortions—as essential parts of authenticity rather than defects to remove.

Instead of polished, hyper-refined outputs, the model leans into a grounded, tactile aesthetic: textures feel worn, environments feel lived-in, and subjects carry natural irregularities. The “Raw Edition” reflects its unfiltered approach—prioritizing atmosphere, mood, and believable imperfection over artificial sharpness.

Key strengths:

  • Natural-looking grain and controlled noise

  • Gritty, cinematic lighting with imperfect balance

  • Organic textures (skin, fabric, surfaces) with subtle flaws

  • Strong atmosphere and grounded realism

  • Reduced “AI gloss” and over-processed look

It doesn’t try to be flawless. It tries to feel real.

Its very good at Loras and understanding prompts.

  • The VAE is BAKED

  • Upscaler: Im using 4x-ClearRealityV1 upscale by 1.5 Steps 5 denois 0.1 Hires CFG 1.1,

  • Width and height: 896*1152 you can also try with 1024*1344

  • CFG Scale: 1.1

  • Steps: 8

  • The sampling method i use is LCM-Karras you can use LCM-Exponential

This model accepts negative prompts, so for greater realism I recommend:cartoon, illustration, anime, painting, CGI, 3D render, low quality, watermark, logo, label

I truly hope everyone can download it, use it, and share their examples, as this is the only way to continue improving. Greetings to everyone
