Just saw 302.AI testing FLUX.1 Krea, they say it's the cure for AI's "plastic look".

Just saw that 302.AI’s benchmark lab posted a real-world test of FLUX.1 Krea, and the subtitle really hit me—it’s all about “walking its own path with a unique balance,” mainly cracking that plastic look AI images always have.

That “plastic look” thing really speaks to me as a designer. A lot of models spit out images that look impressive at first glance, but zoom in and the skin looks like wax, the materials feel like cheap toys—totally unusable for commercial work without going back and fixing it for ages. If there’s actually a model that can tone down that cheap vibe and make the output feel closer to real photography, the time saved on post-processing would be huge.

But hey, the title’s one thing—that plastic look is way too case-by-case. You gotta throw some tricky materials and complex lighting at it yourself to really know. Has anyone actually put Krea through its paces? I wanna hear how much it actually improves on real textures and lighting, not just the official curated samples.

“Plastic-looking” — those two words hit every designer right in the feels.

The official curated images are all cherry-picked, don’t fall for that.

Honestly, that waxy skin look is a total dealbreaker for me. No way I’d use that for commercial work.

I’ve tried Krea too, the textures are definitely a bit more natural than the regular Flux version.

“Getting rid of that plastic look” is easier said than done. Throw in complex lighting and it’s a whole different story.

Saving time on post-processing is basically saving money, I’m all for this direction.
