Realistic AI Parody - SDXL Getting Started
Basics DMD
- Have a computer with a graphics card. Preferably Nvidia - AMD can work, but will be slower. The faster the better, obvs, but anything from the last 10 years with at least 8GB VRAM should work.
- Download and install a Stable Diffusion UI. Forge or Fooocus are good for beginners. ComfyUI is more advanced. Stability Matrix is a "Multi-Platform Package Manager and Inference UI for AI Image Generation" which basically makes it pretty painless to try and use different UIs on windows mac and linux.
- Download Big Lust v1.6 and put it in the models subfolder.
- Download DMD2 and put it in the LoRAs subfolder.
nb: DMD2 improves speed of generating, at the cost of variety and prompt adherence. You must use it with certain settings (see below), and negative prompts do not work with it. - Download subject person LoRAs from CivArchive and others listed below. Loras trained on Big Lust work best, but any trained on SDXL will work to some extent. See below for a list of celeb lora creators.
- In your UI, select the Big Lust checkpoint, your DMD2 lora, and subject person lora, then set the following settings:
- Steps: 7
- CFG: 1.0
- Sampler: lcm
- Type in what you want to see and press 'Generate'.
Basics non-DMD
Follow the steps above except for the DMD stuff. I'm using BigLustyDonutMix as the example here because they provide "ideal" settings for using this model without DMD which means you can use negative prompts:
- Sampler: sdm++ 3m sde
- Scheduler: karras
- CFG: 2-9
- Steps: 30+
- prompting: keep it simple. booru tags.
If you get stuck, or need help, or your gens look weird, come back to the thread and post your settings, link a genned image on catbox so it includes the metadata. Someone might help you and the more info you provide the easier it will be to get help.
For Best Results
- Try and stick to the optimal SDXL resolutions.
- Use the bigASP tags list.
- Some LoRAs don't work well without their keywords. DMD2 doesn't have one, but most subject person LoRAs do. Check 'trigger words' on the page you got the lora from or using Xypher7's lora metadata viewer, and use them in your prompts.
- Detail on faces can be dodgy sometimes, the smaller the face is in the frame the worse it can get more or less. Learn to inpaint to correct problems with the finer details of your subject. Use of ADetailer or FaceDetailer (depending on your choice of UI) is basically automated inpainting at gen time to improve them rather than doing it manually.

Advanced
No LoRA available for the person you want to generate? Try training one yourself! The following resources should help you get started:
- LoRA Training Overview
- LoRA Training on Runpod for those with less-powerful GPUs
- Gathering and Captioning Training Images arguably the hardest, but most important, part of the process
