SmoothBlend

This is a byproduct of me tinkering with merge function. I did a lot of this and mostly I put a little value on the effect. This one however I like a lot. I've been using it for several weeks now and slowly it became my default model. Thought it's worth a share.

I would describe it as a realistic model, but with a ton of make-up. Everything is smoother, prettier and nicer. A bit like over-processed stock art, when someone put way too much effort to correct things in Photoshop.

I didn't really know what I was doing when I was doing it and now I know even less about what I did. So, don't ask me what is it exactly. I don't quite remember the process. I you like the effect, call it a lucky accident.

Some notes:

I doesn't really need any quality tokens. It is rather nice by default.

Hands are terrible as in any 1.5 model, though sometimes I think that not as much.

It can mostly produce coherent results in higher resolutions like 960 or maybe a bit more.

Yeah, it's tested mostly on people.

For sample images I used no post-processing, up-scaling, embeddings or loras. Rendered in InvokeAI.
