Happy 50th Birthday! Today, we celebrate half a century of you—your achievements, your journey, and the countless ways you make the world brighter. May this special day bring you joy, laughter, and love from everyone whose life you’ve touched. Cheers to 50 amazing years and to many more from all your ever endearing fans!
The Veronika Models have been uploaded to TensorArt for now.
They might be uploaded to CivitAI eventually. The main reason for using
TensorArt is that they offer free image generation for registered users. Once
registered you will receive enough daily credits to allow you to generate a
dozen or so images per day. CivitAI does not have a similar program from what I
can tell. Of course, TensorArt does offer subscription options to allow you to
create a virtually unlimited, higher resolution set of images.
The Model needs to be changed to Flux. Do this by selecting “Basic Model – XL”. This will bring up the Model selection page:
Pick Basic model “Flux.1 – dev-fp8” from
the list. This was the model used to create the LoRAs, so must be selected to
get an accurate rendering. After that is selected, you will see that the Basic
Model has been updated to Flux.
The next step is to add the appropriate LoRA you want to
use. Simply select the ?Add LoRA? button.
For those unfamiliar with some of the AI generation tools, LoRAs (Low-Rank Adaptations) are extensively used in text-to-image models to generate images with specific elements like: distinct characters, unique styles, or particular objects. It essentially steers the image creation into a desired direction based on the attributes trained into the LoRA. In creating the Veronika LoRAs I wanted to be as accurate as possible in providing the initial training data (ie. images) to create them. For the LoRA to accurately represent a real person, you want to provide the training with as many good quality images from as many different angles of the person so that when an image is subsequently generated using the resulting LoRA, it is able to draw on the learned images for reference and not fill in missing gaps with predicted pixels when creating a new image. I happen to have quite a sizable catalogue of unreleased images of Veronika in my private collection which I was able to draw on to put together what I thought were the best images to use to train a Veronika LoRA model.
After selecting the Add LoRA button, you will have to
perform a search to find the Veronika LoRA you want to use. At the top search
bar simply enter the text Zemanova.
Once you key in Zemanova you will see all the available
LoRAs to use. I would highly recommend Starring the ones you plan to use
frequently as this will make for faster retrieval in the future. Then you
simply need to hit the My Starred button the next time you want to load
a new LoRA.
There are 3 LoRAs which have been created which are very
good to use to generate realistic photos of Veronika. They are all similar with
some slight differences between them: Zemanova V2, Zemanova V3
and ZEMANOVA Fluxed. I would recommend using either the Zemanova V2
or Zemanova V3 LoRAs for the absolute best results. Here’s a comparison
of all 3 LoRAs:
ZEMANOVA Fluxed LoRA Model (created by ManOfCulture)
From the generated images I can tell that the LoRA is based
primarily on images published by Penthouse. As Penthouse posted all their pics
in the reverse orientation, all the of the MoC generated images result in a
mirror imaged Veronika.
Still results in very realistic facial images however.
Several of the images used to train the LoRA must have been
magazine scans as every once in a while you can see stripes in the final image.
Views from the rear are not as accurate … occasional dark
patches on the butt cheeks and little or no sidewinders visible.
Trained using only images after her first set of implants.
The most accurate LoRA in representing images of Veronika
for all orientations. The training images included high resolution pics of
Veronika from all angles.
Best ass and sidewinder pics.
2 front teeth with slight gap accurately represented.
Trained using only images after her second implants.
There were fewer naked images from all angles to train the
LoRA with for this vintage resulting in slightly reduced accuracy for rear
images, however frontal and side images are very accurate.
Second implant breast shape perfectly rendered.
Find below some sample images from all 3 LoRAs using the
EXACT same prompt (ie input):
When the LoRA was trained it used some specific parameters
to create the model. These parameters should automatically load when you add
the Veronika LoRAs. Deviating or overriding these values will adversely affect
the final generated image outcome as more “weight” will be applied to
certain variables affecting the final outcome away from the Veronika?s true
likeness as taught.
Please use these defaults as those are the values which
produce the most accurate likeness of Veronika, deviating from the default will
negatively alter Veronika?s appearance.
The first critical parameter is the ?strength?.
For Zemanova V2 the default strength is 0.82.
For Zemanova V3 it is 0.8.
The final setup of the Model
and LoRa should look like this (in this case for Veronika V2):
Next a few other critical parameters which must be set are
the Aspect Ratio, Sampler, Sampling Steps, and Guidance Scale.
The Aspect Ratio is merely the size and orientation of the
resulting image. These sizes are primarily driven by the current capabilities
of the underlying image generation models and so deviating from the defaults
will likely fail to render a useful result. Note that there might be a
difference between the current max resolution which can be selected if you have
a FREE vs PRO membership. The image shown above is for a PRO membership.
For the Sampling Method, please use the following: Sampler =
euler, Sampling steps = 20; Guidance Scale = 3.5. Again,
deviating from these parameters will adversely impact the final rendered result
from looking like Veronika as the LoRA was trained using these specific
parameters.
If you scroll further down you will see an option to provide
Upscaling as part of the initial image generation. This feature will require
additional credits per image, but it is still less expensive to perform the
Upscaling at the initial image generation phase as opposed to first creating
the image and then upscaling as a secondary step. I find the built in Upscale
function to be extremely good and beneficial in creating a really accurate
looking image. Sometimes if the image is too small, some of Veronika?s features
get distorted because there simply aren?t enough pixels to accurately render
it. See the image below for suggested upscaler settings, I found that these
have worked extremely well. A max 2X upscale is recommended to not introduce
too many artifacts. The specific R-ESRGAN 4x+ upscaler works exceptionally
well, so recommend using it.
Now that the Model and LoRA are loaded and everything has
been setup, you are now ready to start and create some images.
Now comes the most important step ?. Entering your Prompt,
which will describe exactly what you want your image to portray. Enter your
prompt on the top making sure to include the specific keyword to activate the
LoRA you selected. The specific keywords for the 3 LoRAs are as follows:
ZemanovaV2: VeronikaZemanovaV2
ZemanovaV3: VeronikaZemanovaV3
Zemanova Fluxed: MoCVeronicaZemanova
The prompt can be as descriptive as you like. I find it best
to describe the foreground, background, clothing, shoes, hair (style / colour),
makeup, pose, lighting etc. The more details you include the more consistent each
image will be when creating multiple ones.
You can always start with a simply prompt and then expand on
it afterwards if you like the overall results when using the simple prompt.
Below is an example of simple prompt of Veronika walking on the beach:
To expand the prompt to make it more descriptive, TensorArt
has a built in AI prompt expander. I would recommend starting with that first.
When you click that icon it will come back with 3 different expanded
prompts ? each with their own attempts to add more details to each of the prompt
elements. If you like one of them simply Select it.
And now the resulting image with one of the revised prompts.
Being as descriptive as possible will guarantee some level
of consistency if creating multiple images using the same prompt. See the example
below where most items in the image are described.
On the contrary, here is an example of what will happen when
you are not as descriptive as possible in terms of certain details. All I said was
that she is wearing a short dress. Because I did not specify the colour or style
of the short dress, you?ll see that I got 4 completely different dresses in the
images that were generated.
There is an excellent resource on github where someone has created a set of descriptions and the resulting images for things like hairstyles, lingerie, camera angles etc,
When you are finally satisfied with your prompt choose the
number of images you want to create and then hit the Generate button.
That?s it ?. Have fun creating new images of Veronika !!!!!
You are now the photographer !!!!
Commentary on Results:
I personally am very pleased with the resulting outcomes
with a few shortcomings that I will mention. Every once in a while you will see
some strange issues / artifacts are not a fault of the LoRA itself but related
to the underlying image generation engine used by TensorArt or CivitAI. First
of all, the image generation tools are currently configured to not generate
accurate NSFW images …. things like nipples and vagina’s get distorted on
purpose. In the case of the Veronika generated images you will often get
blurred nipples for example. I can tell you that the images of those areas I
provided to train the LoRA were super accurate and detailed. It’s just that the
image generation tool using the LoRA interferes in properly depicting those
areas
You can post process these
using Photoshop or similar image editing software to cleanup / fix the breasts.
The same applies for pictures of her vagina ? they get completely distorted
most of the time.
The other thing which happens frequently is that Flux
renders extra fingers or toes. You can try to add a description in the prompt saying
the hands or feet should be perfectly formed with 4 fingers and 1 thumb and 5
toes. This works most of the time but is not perfect. When using Stable
Diffusion you could include things you don?t want to see in the image in the ?Negative
Prompt? field, however Flux does not support negative prompts, so best to include
what you do want to see in the image as part of the Prompt field.
If you perform a search in the LoRA database, you will find
some LoRAs developed to specifically try and render nipples, better hands and
feet for example. However you need to be careful when using these LoRAs along
with the Veronika one you are using. If the other LoRA you load had any other
woman’s image as part of its own training images then it will move the
resulting image away from Veronika?s likeness that was trained for the Veronika
LoRA with as it will be blended with the other LoRA’s information so to speak
based on the strength parameter used for the other LoRA.
Again, I want to thank all those who contributed some new material to the Veronika collection this past year ?. it?s fans like you that make this place a great place to come and visit each day !!!!!!
In light of the latest Flux AI developments and the plethora of AI creations featuring Veronika which have already been created, a new section to the website has been added which features just the AI sets.
Flux is a new AI image generation model developed by Black Forest Labs. It represents a significant advancement in AI-generated art, utilizing a ?hybrid architecture? that combines transformer and diffusion techniques, scaled up to 12 billion parameters. To date all images had been using a standard Stable Diffusion model which due it’s inherent nature limited the size and quality of the generated images.
FLUX.1 [dev] is the latest version for non-commercial use. Recently a user on CivitAI generated a Veronika LORA which is by far the most accurate representation of Veronika. We recently had a chance to try it out and the results are to say the least absolutely remarkable. Images now really capture the true essence of Veronika.
With the improvements in AI generated art over the course of the last few years, ScottyJX has decided to create “simulated photo shoots” featuring Veronika. He has released about 2 new sets / week over the past few months. A sampling of some of the sets appear in the images below with most sets featuring between 40-160 AI generated images
To access the new material simply go to Actiongirls and subscribe!!!!
Not as tight as last year …. this time it took until May for Veronika to be published in a magazine for the first time in the year. UK tabloid Weekend Sport has come through again and published a nice little pic from Set 381 in the May 10th issue:
The entire set has been updated with the addition of 28 new pics from magazines such as Swank Confidential, Passie, Score Sexy Busty etc.. This just reinforces the fact that most all magazines posted content in their issues which they did not post on their websites back in the day 😉
Here are a couple of pics from the magazines which are actually new poses for the set:
2 new lovely poses of Veronika for this Set
In addition to the new pics, most all of the 35mm slide previews which were inlcuded in the previous set have been updated with scans from the actual slides.
In the end, all pics in the set have been resorted into what is believed to have been the photo shoot sequence.
