by eldritchadam - Dramatic light, realistic textures, naturalistic colors, and long depth-of-field photos in Forge, please enable 'FP16 LoRA mode' This will probably be this model's final form. Compared to v1.0, v1.2 has more contrast, even more (potential) sharpness in the background, more natural coloring, and more consistently dramatic lighting, while always looking extremely realistic. Use the word 'Photography' in your prompt: This final version is prone to generate illustrations - really nice ones! - if you don't emphasize 'photography' enough. Be sure to prompt clearly for photographs! If you want long depth of field/in-focus background: describe your background. Just write up some unique characteristics about what's back there - you'll get more focus on it.

Creator notes

Dramatic light, realistic textures, romantic color, and long depth-of-field photos Version 2.0 - simpler prompting and greater consistencyAbove is the same prompt/settings for a tiger, with and without the LoRA. For more comparisons, please check . plenty of models figured out how to get Flux to render backgrounds, but almost always by training on analog, or snapshot-style photography. This model wants to give you the backgrounds while still focusing on maximal drama and cinematic style. I set out to improve on the model's interiors. But what I got from this attempt was an all-around-improved model. Most notably, you can get consistent results in the target aesthetic with minimal prompting. Previously, you needed to write elaborate descriptions of backgrounds to have them in detail. But the model had an aha! moment and now understands its real purpose: always give us a detailed background. Prompt for photographic scenes, don't worry overly much about how detailed you are, and enjoy the results. As always, I'll gladly hear feedback for how it may still be improved. notes for previous versions: in Forge, please enable 'FP16 LoRA mode' Use the word 'Photography' in your prompt: This model is prone to generate illustrations - really nice ones! - if you don't emphasize 'photography' enough. Be sure to prompt clearly for photographs! For fantasy and sci-fi scenes I begin and end prompts with photo terms. If you want long depth of field/in-focus Unlike with most other approaches taken with Flux, this won't mean you need to abandon cinematic/professional photo styles. Things can look both epic and have long depth of field. You can push this model toward snapshot or analog style images, though it's better done with a specific LoRA aimed at such. If you want a blurred I started by training Flux on the same dataset as used for the SDXL model, - that didn't yield pleasing results at all. So I changed the dataset a bunch, reduced the noise texture a ton, and modified the color/tonal edits. This produced a very nice Beta model. But I didn't think the imposed tone and grain were doing as much service to this model as to the inspiration XL model. So, I trained a new model on the same dataset (very long DOF images) without any processing to them. On its own, images output from it were kind of harsh and austere looking. So I merged that with the beta model and got a really nice v1.0 But this still wasn't quite what I was looking for. So I tried a few other approaches and merge techniques before deciding on a simple curves adjustment to my dataset to heighten contrast and achieve a consistent dramatic lighting across them all. This one all on its own was close to the final target! But I tested a bunch of simple merges with my various models and settled on what is v 1.2 - I expect to be the final state of this thing for Flux.1 D

7,000°

Floor

The scale runs from 0° to 9,999°. Everything below 7,000° is kept for models no source reports on yet, which carry a stand-in number there so lists stay complete. 7,000° is where measured data begins: a model with real data but almost no downloads sits at the floor, and the measurements fill the degrees above it. The floor says nothing about the model; only the degrees above it do, and they are what separates one model from another.

+937°

Civitai downloads

1,327 downloads of this exact version on Civitai. Downloads are the heaviest ingredient and are counted on a log scale: ten times the downloads adds the same 300°, so a model with a million downloads is not a thousand times hotter than one with a thousand. The six download sources share that one term, split between them in proportion to their counts.

+332°

Likes

163 likes and thumbs up across the sources. A like weighs half a download, on the same log scale.

−334°

Age

−334° because the Flux weights came out in 2024. Every model inherits the age of the weights it is built on: 150° a year, up to 750°, and it keeps growing until then. Without it the top of the list would be 2022 and 2023 checkpoints on the strength of downloads that had years to pile up.

Show detailed breakdown

Every number on this site can be checked. This model's heat score is 7,935°, and here it is built one ingredient at a time, with the running total after each: the floor, the degrees each source adds, the bonus for the kind of model and what the age of its weights takes away. The colors are the bands of the chart above. The glossary at the end defines every term.

Start at the floor.
Why 7,000° and not zero: the scale runs from 0° to 9,999°, and the part below 7,000° is reserved for models no source reports on yet, which carry a stand-in number there so the lists stay complete and never outrank a model with data. 7,000° is where measured data begins. A model with real data but almost no downloads sits here; everything that follows is measurement, and the room above the floor holds ten tenfold steps in downloads at 300° each. The floor is the same for every model, so it decides nothing; the degrees above it do.

Glossary: the terms used here

Heat score: One number for how much a model is used and wanted right now, from 0° to 9,999°. Every list on this site that says hottest is sorted by it and nothing else.
Floor: The 7,000° every model with real data starts from. The scale runs from 0° to 9,999°; the part below the floor is reserved for stand-ins (models without data), so that a model with data always ranks above one without. The floor is the same for everyone and decides nothing; the degrees above it are the measurement.
Download-equivalents: Everything the score treats as a download, added up: downloads themselves, each torrent seeder as 1,000, each AI Horde image and each run on a generation site as one.
Log scale: Counting by tens, not by ones: going from 1,000 to 10,000 downloads adds the same degrees as going from 10,000 to 100,000. It keeps giants from crowding out everything else.
Likes: Thumbs up and likes from every source, worth half a download each on the log scale.
Adoption rate: How many downloads a day a model gets right now, from the difference between two readings of a source. A quarter of the weight of the download term.
Measured and estimated: Measured means two readings of a source exist and the difference is real. Estimated means only today's total is known and the past is spread over the model's life; the site says which one it is showing.
Seeder: Someone who keeps a copy of the weights online for others to download over a torrent, or a hosted mirror doing the same. Each one counts as 1,000 downloads.
AI Horde: A volunteer network that generates images for free on donated computers. The number of images it has made with a model is public, and each counts as one download.
Generation sites: Sites that host their own copies of a model and let people generate with it, such as PixAI, SeaArt and Yodayo. Their downloads count like Civitai's and each generation run as one download.
OpenRouter tokens: A text model served through an API, such as Claude or GPT, has no weights to download, so its usage is measured in tokens: the pieces of text it read and wrote through OpenRouter, a gateway many apps use, over the last 30 days. Every 10,000,000 tokens count as one download. Source: OpenRouter (openrouter.ai/rankings), CC BY 4.0.
Full model (checkpoint): The weights themselves, the file that generates on its own. It gets a bonus because add-ons depend on it.
LoRA and embedding: Small add-on files that steer someone else's weights toward a style, a character or a concept. They cannot run alone.
Family and weights: The base a model is built on, such as SD 1.5, SDXL, Flux or Wan. Every model inherits the release date of its family's weights.
Age: Degrees taken off for how long ago the family's weights came out: 150° a year, up to 750°. It keeps old downloads that had years to pile up from freezing the top of the list.
Family boost: A small, bounded nudge for LoRAs of a family this site is pushing forward right now, always listed in the breakdown.
Stand-in score: A stable number below the floor given to a model no source reports on yet, so lists stay complete. It never ranks above a model with data.
New! (grace period): A model less than 7 days old shows New! instead of a score and holds no place in the rankings. Its score is computed from day one, but a model one day old grows faster than anything, so without the wait the week's #1 would always be whatever came out yesterday rather than what held up for a week.
Trend: How a model's growth over a period compares with the typical model's growth over the same period. Faster than typical reads as a rise, slower as a fall.
Typical model: The middle of the catalog: half the models with a figure grew faster over the period, half slower.

How this model's popularity has moved against the rest of the catalog: its growth in downloads, likes and usage over each period, measured against the typical model's growth over the same period, with its heat score at the time. Above the typical growth reads as a rise, below it as a fall. The past is reconstructed from today's totals, the model's first day and its measured download speed where two readings exist; a model that did not exist at the start of a period shows n/a.

Prompt

A mystical realm of hyperrealistic dark fantasy, where ethereal luminosity intertwines with haunting shadows. Dramatic backlighting casts an otherworldly glow, as if the very essence of the scene is illuminated by an unseen celestial force. The atmosphere is thick with evocative elegance, where every detail is a brushstroke of expressive fluidity. In the foreground, a singular figure emerges—intelligent, passionate, and draped in flowing, high-fiber robes that ripple like liquid silk. Their form is both commanding and enigmatic, a perfect balance of melancholy and allure. The backdrop is a labyrinth of swirling black rivers, their surfaces shimmering with intricate patterns that seem to pulse with life. These rivers flow like liquid obsidian, weaving through the scene in a dance of light and shadow. The interplay of cinematic color and sharp focus creates a visual masterpiece, reminiscent of mid-20th-century glamour but infused with the poetic symbolism of Art Nouveau. The entire composition is a poetic allegory, where beauty and complexity intertwine in an unforgettable, haunting melody. The palette is dominated by deep, rich tones, with bursts of magenta that add a sense of avant-garde mystery. Every element, from the flowing robes to the swirling rivers, is a testament to the fusion of fashion and art, creating a scene that is both timeless and daringly unique., Photography, zavy-drkcnmtc, deep shadows, cinematic darkness, underexposed, chiaroscuro, atmospheric haze, low-key lighting,.,digital painting, hyperrealistic, dark fantasy, character portrait, dramatic lighting, paint splatter, elegant, enigmatic, flowing black rivers, liquid silk, intricate energy, impressionistic form, high-fashion, melancholic allure, cinematic color, Art Nouveau, poetic allegory, haunting atmosphere, magenta accents, male figure, flowing robes, dynamic pose, sharp focus, light and shadow, ethereal, mysterious, avant-garde, intricate details, symbolic, timeless, fashion and art fusion, luxurious, glamorous, mid-20th-century influence, intricate patterns, shimmering surfaces, pulsing life, labyrinthine design, otherworldly glow, celestial illumination, expressive, captivating, unique style, bold, daring, boundary-pushing, standout imagery, Photography, zavy-drkcnmtc, deep shadows, cinematic darkness, underexposed, chiaroscuro, atmospheric haze, low-key lighting,.,<lora:Eldritch_Photography_for_Flux_1.2.3:0.654> Photography,<lora:zavy-drkcnmtc-flx-v2:0.383> zavy-drkcnmtc, deep shadows, cinematic darkness, underexposed, chiaroscuro, atmospheric haze, low-key lighting,<lora:zy_Dark_Fantasy_Flux:0.768>

Prompt

This is a black and white photography featuring a striking, unconventional Closeup portrait. FictionalYoyo with long neon yellow hair styled in blunt bangs, and heavy red eye makeup. She is dressed in a dark, loose-fitting outfit that includes a long-sleeved, high-neck shirt and wide-legged pants, cinched at the waist with a belt. She is seated on a simple, wooden stool with a textured surface, which contrasts with the smooth, minimalist background. In her right hand, she holds a large, white muscular grumpy cute owl perched on her hand. The owl's feathers are meticulously detailed, giving it a lifelike appearance. The background is a plain, textured wall with a subtle, vertical pattern, providing a neutral backdrop that emphasizes FictionalYoyo and the owl. The overall mood of the image is contemplative and surreal, with a focus on her intense gaze and the striking contrast between her dark attire, vibrant hair, and the white owl.
