Solarum Macro Physics XL — glowing macro photography of matter and light (SDXL)

Solarum Macro Physics XL turns everyday subjects into glowing macro photographs: shallow focus, warm bokeh, teal and amber light, the feeling of matter seen up close.

v2 is retrained from scratch on a new, clean dataset of 174 images I generated on DeviantArt DreamUp from my own prompts (no people in the dataset).

How to use: start at 0.7 without the trigger: it keeps your subject best. Add jsolarum_macro_physics for a stronger look; it can rearrange the composition. Works well on fruit, clockwork, shells, dew, keys, flames and wings. Very fine biological structure (cells) can drift into the house style.

Training: Juggernaut XL v9 base, kohya sd-scripts, LoRA dim 32 / alpha 16, UNet only, 768 px buckets, AdamW8bit, cosine, LR 1e-4, 6 epochs trained, epoch 4 released (1,740 steps).

Showcase: Juggernaut XL v9, Euler a, Karras, 24 steps, CFG 4.5, LoRA 0.7, no trigger, hires 1.5x.
