OFFICIAL MODEL FAMILY / BY CYBERDELIA
A family of checkpoints for photographic images with natural texture, coherent light and enough detail to survive a closer look.

01 / READY IN THREE STEPS
Pick a model, get the official file and make a first image. The details can wait until you know the branch suits your workflow.
Choose the base that fits your setup: Krea 2, SD 1.5, SDXL, Pony, Z-Image, Anima or Ernie Image.
Download through the linked Cyberdelia account on Civitai or Hugging Face, and check the notes and licence for that version.
Load the checkpoint in your usual interface, use the recommended settings and start with a simple, direct prompt.
02 / THE MODEL FAMILY
CyberRealistic began as one SD 1.5 checkpoint and grew into a family. Each branch works with the strengths of its base model, but keeps the same priorities: natural detail, coherent light and prompts that respond clearly.
The versions are tested on portraits, editorial images, cinematic scenes and ordinary photographic subjects—not just a fixed showcase prompt.

CyberRealistic rebuilt for Krea 2, with an emphasis on convincing photographs, natural texture and direct prompting.
KREA 2 / V1.0↗
The original SD 1.5 model, still useful for its direct realism and huge library of compatible resources.
SD 1.5 / ORIGINAL↗
The SDXL branch for people, dramatic light and larger editorial-style images.
SDXL / FLAGSHIP↗
A fast branch that responds well to plain-language prompts and keeps texture and colour under control.
Z-IMAGE / TURBO↗
Expressive characters with more grounded materials, lighting and colour than the usual Anima look.
ANIMA / CHARACTER↗
Pony flexibility with the faces, texture and cinematic lighting associated with CyberRealistic.
PONY / FLEXIBLE↗
An experimental fast branch for detailed portraits, tactile surfaces and responsive prompts.
