+All models in this zoo were trained on a **unique, personally-curated dataset** built around years of original street photography. Many of them were later expanded and refined with synthetic images generated from earlier generations of my own models — creating a self-reinforcing aesthetic loop.
 
 The overarching goal is to capture a **natural, analog-leaning photographic sensibility** without sacrificing creative range. Many of the models inherit a subtle film-grain texture, balanced contrast, and an overall organic feel. Others explore alternate aesthetics — oil painting, digital illustration, stylized comic rendering — but always through the lens of my own visual taste.

+
+## Raymnants 3.0
+
+Realistic model with a good sense for Art. Great at portraits, wide ethnic and body type range. The model that started it all. What would happen if I trained a bunch of street photos into an image model? The answer was: Raymnants. The rudimentary methodology and complete lack of insight make it nothing short of a miracle that it came out that good. Still took half a dozen iterations before 3.0 though!
+
+**Intended use:**  
+Portrait photography, character work, realistic scenes with artistic flair.
+
+**Recommended settings:**  
+- **Sampler:** DPM++ 2M Karras  
+- **Steps:** ~30  
+- **CFG:** 5–8  
+
+**Caveats:**

+## Raymnants 3.4 → 6.2 — Iterative Evolution Line
+
+Raymnants 3.4 through 6.2 form an exploratory lineage built on the unexpected success of 3.0. At the time, the training process involved a lot of experimentation, resulting in stylistic “yoyo effects” between versions — sometimes more realistic, sometimes more expressive, sometimes more saturated.
+
+Despite this fluctuating path, the 6.x models stand out as flexible, bright, saturated, and artistically dynamic, if slightly less realistic than 3.0.
+
+**Intended use:**  
+Portraits, expressive character work, stylized realism, bright and saturated scenes.
+
+**Recommended settings (all versions):**  
+- **Sampler:** DPM++ 2M Karras  
+- **Steps:** ~30  
+- **CFG:** 5–8  
+
+**General caveats:**  
+Stylization oscillates across versions. Later models shift away from strict realism toward flexibility, brightness, and vivid color rendering.
+
+---
+## Rayburn 1.0
+
+Rayburn 1.0 is a bold, stylized comic-illustration SDXL model with a strong personality. It embraces saturation, thick stylized shapes, graphic lighting, and unapologetically expressive palettes. Ideal for scenes that need attitude, energy, and visual punch rather than realism.
+
+**Intended use:**  
+Stylized illustrations, comic-panel aesthetics, graphic novel art, bold character portraits, expressive genre scenes.
+
+**Recommended settings:**  
+- **Sampler:** DPM++ 2M Karras  
+- **Steps:** ~20  
+- **CFG:** 2–4  
+
+**Caveats:**  
+Not suitable for realistic rendering — this model leans intentionally and heavily into stylization.
+
+<p align="center">
+  <!-- IMAGE: rayburn-1-01.png -->

+
+---
+## RayburnBlitz 1.0
+
+RayburnBlitz 1.0 is the distilled, lightning-fast variant of Rayburn. It remains stylized and comic-driven but trades some of the original model’s extreme boldness for speed and responsiveness. Excellent for rapid iteration, thumbnails, and concept sketching where turnaround time matters.
+
+**Intended use:**  
+Fast stylized renders, quick comic concepts, energetic sketches, storyboard-like shots.
+
+**Recommended settings:**  
+- **Sampler:** Gradient_Estimation (beta57)  
+- **Steps:** 6  
+- **CFG:** 1.5  
+
+**Caveats:**  
+The distillation process softens some of Rayburn’s signature exaggeration and intensity.

+## Rayctifier 1.0
+
+Rayctifier 1.0 blends illustration with classical painting sensibilities, sitting stylistically between Raymnants (portrait realism), Rayburn (comic boldness), and traditional oil-painting aesthetics. It is soft, lush, and unapologetically expressive — with a warm, classical energy and painterly richness.
+
+**Intended use:**  
+Classical illustration, oil-painting style portraits, dramatic scenes, lush artistic compositions.
+
+**Recommended settings:**  
+- **Sampler:** uni_pc (KL optimal)  
+- **Steps:** 16  
+- **CFG:** 4  
+
+**Caveats:**  
+Shines in painterly or classical styles — **modern/clean aesthetics tend to fall flat**.
+
+<p align="center">
+  <!-- IMAGE: rayctifier-1-01.png -->
+</p>
+
+---
+
+## Rayctifier 1.5
+
+Rayctifier 1.5 refines everything introduced in the original model: a more defined painterly style, better flexibility, and stronger artistic structure. This is the preferred Rayctifier flavor — richer, more confident, and more adaptable.
+
+**Intended use:**  
+Everything Rayctifier 1.0 excels at, but with improved consistency and detail.
+
+**Recommended settings:**  
+- **Sampler:** uni_pc (KL optimal)  
+- **Steps:** 16  
+- **CFG:** 4  
+
+**Caveats:**  
+Still prioritized for classical illustration — modern, flat, or minimalist styles remain outside its strengths.

+# Z-IMAGE TURBO Family — Rayzist
+
+## Rayzist v1.0
+
+Rayzist v1.0 is a fast, generalist Z-Image Turbo model with unusually strong prompt adhesion for its class. Despite its distilled nature, it offers a broad conceptual range, performs well across photography, anime, and comic-style rendering, and remains mostly uncensored. It is also notably good at generating readable text inside the image, which is rare for Turbo-tier models.
+
+**Intended use:**  
+Rapid ideation, multi-style image generation, low-VRAM workflows, photography and anime rendering, fast comic concepts, and text-in-image generation.
+
+**Recommended settings:**  
+- **Sampler:** Euler Simple  
+- **Steps:** 8  
+- **CFG:** 1  
+
+**Caveats:**  
+Still a distilled Turbo model — some visual concepts simply aren’t well encoded (e.g., cyclops / one-eyed characters). These gaps are unpredictable and usually only discovered through experimentation.
