Z-Image Me - Base Edition (Experimental)

CHECKPOINT

Z-Image Me (Base) represents the latest evolution in our series, now built upon a more robust base architecture. this model has undergone a dedicated fine-tuning process using a similar high-quality dataset, aimed at achieving deeper rendering quality, artistic flair, and higher precision.

⚠️ Disclaimer & Experimental Status

As this is an initial fine-tuning release on a new Base architecture, this model is currently in its Experimental Phase. Our primary focus for this build is testing dataset stability within the new structural framework.

Note: Since this is an early release, you may encounter certain shortcomings, artifacts, or results that are not yet fully optimized compared to the more mature Turbo version. Your feedback and posted generations are highly appreciated and will be vital for the development of the next stable version.

💡 Key Characteristics

Base Architecture: Offers higher flexibility for complex prompting and better composition control compared to "Instant" models.
High-Detail Realism: Optimized for authentic skin textures (pores, fine lines) and highly realistic fabric materials.
Anatomical Testing: Specifically tuned to handle human proportions more naturally, though still undergoing experimental refinement.
Dynamic Lighting: Enhanced capability for handling rich shadows and cinematic lighting environments.

🛠️ Training Specifications

Main Dataset: 3,000 High-Quality Photorealistic Images.
Regularization Dataset: 5,000 Balancing Samples.
Total Training Data: 8,000 Samples.
Base Foundation: Z-Image Base.

📝 Prompting Tips

For the best results, use professional photography terminology:

Positive Tags: photorealistic, highly detailed, 8k UHD, soft cinematic lighting, depth of field, raw photo, intricate skin texture, masterpiece.
Negative Prompts: cartoon, anime, lowres, deformed body, extra fingers, mutated hands, blurry, plastic skin, oversaturated.

⚙️ Recommended Settings

As this is a Base model (non-Turbo), higher sampling steps are required to fully resolve fine details:

Sampler: DPM++ 2M or Euler a
Scheduler: Karras / SGM Uniform
Sampling Steps: 30 – 50 (Recommended for maximum detail maturity)
CFG Scale: 5 – 7.5
Clip Skip: 1 or 2
