Creator notes
This LoRA trained for Z-Image Turbo improves lighting realism and color behavior, producing images that feel more natural and better integrated with the scene.
More realistic illumination: highlights, midtones, and shading on skin and fabrics read more convincingly.
White point corrected: white balance becomes steadier, keeping colors cleaner and more consistent across different shots.
Physically plausible shadow temperature: shadows gain a coherent color temperature influenced by the light source and atmosphere instead of defaulting to flat gray.
Stronger subject–environment coherence: the “flat-lit subject” look is reduced; cast shadows match the scene’s shadow character and color more closely, adding depth and better separation behind the subject.
Improved spatial volume: the model handles depth and scene dimensionality more effectively, with clearer foreground/background relationships.
Yellow tint reduced: the unwanted warm cast is minimized, resulting in a more neutral, premium-looking palette.
Subject emphasis: Improved separation of highlights and shadows in an image, making the main subject of a scene stand out rather than blend in with its surroundings.

I'd also like to thank the Civitai team for rejecting one of my images for this model, questioning whether it was truly a generation and not a photo!
Thank you so much for your appreciation of my work and my skill at writing prompts.
Next time, I'll make sure all images added to my new LoRA are rejected for this reason!

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.
+904°
Civitai downloads
998 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.
+293°
Likes
89 likes and thumbs up across the sources. A like weighs half a download, on the same log scale.
+13°
Adoption rate
About 0 downloads a day, measured between two readings of the sources, never guessed from a lifetime average. Speed weighs a quarter of the download term, so a fresh surge shows without letting a one-day spike outrank years of use.
−146°
Age
−146° because the Zimage weights came out in 2025. 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 8,064°, 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.
- 1Start 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.7,000°running total

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.

A close-up reveals the Valkyrie’s face, weathered by wind and time. Fine lines radiate from the corners of her eyes, etched deep by countless storms and battles witnessed. Her skin is pale, almost porcelain, but dusted with a faint blush from the biting wind. A single, intricate silver ring adorns her left thumb, its design echoing the swirling patterns of the runes carved into her armor.
Her lips are pressed into a firm, unwavering line, hinting at a stoic resolve. A few strands of silver-tinged hair escape her braid, clinging damply to her cheek. The texture of her leather armor is visible – rough and scarred, bearing the marks of countless encounters. Minute scratches and dents mar the polished bronze plates, reflecting the dim light in fragmented glints.
A single drop of moisture, perhaps rain or condensation, clings to the raven’s obsidian eye, distorting its reflection of the surrounding landscape. The feathers around its beak are ruffled by the wind, creating a soft, almost downy texture. Beneath her hand, the raven’s claw grips her leather gauntlet with surprising delicacy.
The background is blurred, hinting at a vast, windswept expanse, but the focus remains sharply on the Valkyrie’s face and the details of her hand and the raven’s grip – a study in strength, resilience, and a profound connection to the wild.
