Pre-Reading Notice: Ramblings ahead!
The Wdraw 5.6 model currently displayed on wdraw.wzht.org is not the 5.6 version originally announced alongside the free release of Wdraw 2.3—it’s an entirely different model.
The old 5.6 delivered exceptional image quality compared to other generation models of its time (May 2024). In an era where rendering normal eyes and hands was a challenge, the old 5.6 maintained strong quality (no “six-fingered hands,” and excellent sclera detail). The site mascot’s design image [
站娘名字的由来 - #3，来自 吴先生] was generated by the old Wdraw 5.6.However, due to funding constraints, the old 5.6 never opened its API, and its servers were permanently shut down six months later.
The new 5.6 has a quality gap of less than 5% compared to the old version, but its price has dropped significantly (the new 5.6 “low” API tier is roughly 50x cheaper than the full version of the old 5.6).
I’m writing this post because I recently found the old 5.6 model files—but since the new 5.6 is already live, the old one likely won’t be revived… Wait, it never went live in the first place!
I genuinely loved this model that never saw the light of day. So today, I dug it out of storage to run it one last time!
Swansong(Not really.)This isn’t the full old 5.6—meaning it doesn’t show its true potential. Due to limited computing power, I can only release this lightweight version. (:
The hairstyle in the first image was inspired by a certain virtual diva—can you guess who? ψ(｀∇´)ψ
