LOFI By CivitAI vs Affogato (formerly RenderNet)

LOFI is a Stable Diffusion 1.x checkpoint published on Civitai for photorealistic portraits and subject-focused images. The v5-final release ships as a 2.39 GB fp16 SafeTensor file and targets users who want a tuned 1.5 base model rather than building their own fine-tunes from scratch.

Compared with stock SD 1.5 checkpoints, LOFI emphasizes prompt fidelity at low CFG values and portrait-heavy compositions. Version 5 recommends CFG between 2 and 5 with DPM++ samplers, works with LCM or HyperSD distillation helpers, and warns that scenes without a clear subject can be harder to generate without ControlNet depth guidance.

Digital artists, hobbyists, and SDXL users who keep a 1.5 refiner pipeline download LOFI for portrait work, ControlNet-guided layouts, and inpainting variants across the version history on Civitai.

Affogato, formerly RenderNet, is an image generation studio that also produces AI video from one workspace. You pick from 170+ image and video models such as Google Veo 3.1, Kling 3.0, FLUX.2, and OpenAI Sora 2 Pro, then edit, upscale to 8K, lip-sync, inpaint, and swap faces without leaving the canvas. Dedicated studios cover fashion, product shots, UGC ads, headshots, and real estate staging.

Most AI art apps make you chase new model APIs in separate tabs. Affogato adds models the day they hit public APIs and locks characters or products so the same face carries across stills and video clips without re-prompting. Credits roll over month to month, outputs ship without watermarks, and every plan includes a commercial license.

E-commerce marketers, AI influencer creators, and design teams use Affogato when they need consistent characters plus product video in one subscription. Plans start at $24 per month for 2,000 credits, with team pools from $99 per month for 10,000 credits and 25 seats.
