Does everything a PonyXL model can, but "nearly" photorealistic!
V4 update, improved faces and lighting trained in.
Workflow I use to create the preview images sdxlpony-face-and-upscale-civitai-metadata
What it does:
If you're familiar with Pony models, they are very specific in their prompting and subject focus. I made this model to work the same way, but get closer to photorealistic. It uses the same prompting and LoRAs that other PonyXL models use.
What it doesn't do:
It's not a general model. Like other PonyXL models, it's more designed to work with booru tags and mostly does images with people in them. If you want to make general images, use a standard SDXL model.
What's coming:
PonyXL is trained on images with "exaggerated" anatomy. So I've purposely kept it from getting too photorealistic for the moment due to uncanny valley issues. As I train it more, I'll bring it closer to photoreal. In the meantime, use prompts such as (realistic photograph, depth of field, bokeh, etc) to help get the photo look.
How to use:
I recommend using the standard SDXL VAE. CFG should range from 7 to 10, higher than other models. You can experiment with different samplers. I prefer DPM++ 2S a Karras for consistency and DPM++ 3M SDE Exponential to get wild. Prompting for quality should use the score system like other PonyXL models. (score_9, score_8_up, score_7_up) in the positive prompt and (score_3_up, score_4_up, score_5_up) in the negative prompt. Otherwise your images will be very plain.
Alternately, you can use the Pony PDXL embeddings that I created for much easier use.

Thank you Zovya. Would you kindly upload this excellent model to SeaArt?
NGL, looks like it's mainly been trained on women. If so, I do wish it would state that in the description so people don't potentially waste their time if they're looking to produce male characters.
you'll need to search for a male, or gay specific model. it's an unfortunate state of the community. 99% are female focused
@Zovya If you think it's unfortunate then, as a creator, why not make something unique instead of tossing more water into the ocean?
@Lazman I did, and it was almost completely ignored. this hobby eats up a lot of time, so I make stuff that gets more traction. I have plans to update gender slider to SDXL though. but no worries, there are niche creators dedicated to males
@Zovya I honestly don't understand the dynamics of it at all (within our society).. It's almost as if straight women don't exist. But more likely that women/girls are just so blatantly sexualized in our society by the multi billion/trillion dollar entertainment media, that there's more of a hunger to see them.
I ain't mad at you, but it is frustrating in general, cuz I get tired of being eye-raped by tits everywhere I go. Got nothin against women, but seriously, a lot of them would act the same if the dynamic were reversed with balls instead. I remember that one Got Talent episode where that guy whipped down his pants in the middle of a song, and Paula Abdul ran off to the washroom to throw up..
why not make a V5 of this with more males in the data? @Zovya
@CoCatgirl Umm, that sounds more like a question I should be asking you? Or was that a facetious push for me to make that request? Lol.. As for me training models, soon.. just spent a grand on a PC(cpu, mobo, psu, case). Best card I can afford though is 16 gig, cuz I ain't spendin a grand or more on a card that will be obsolete in a year. Already made that mistake when I spent 2k on my laptop. But, yea, gonna pull another grand or so outta my mutual fund after the weekend (then it'll take a couple days to hit my account), then I'll have my AI PC done by the end of the week.
Edit: Whoops! Mistook you for the OP of the model..
@Lazman yeah, our usernames do look a lot alike 🙃
@CoCatgirl To be fair, like 95% of the text before your message, was that of mine or the OP. I've also been staying awake 40 hrs at a time. So the fact that I'm even able to type in a comprehensive manner is an impressive feat in itself.
From Germany with Love <3
:-) thx for ya stuff
Does any one also get censored results when showing naked pussies with V4?
Is there any fix for that?
Works fine to me with no embeddings or loras on v4.
Thank you Zovya. Would you kindly upload this masterful model to SeaArt?
thanks
Love this one, I use it for everything.
very good
I don't understand why I get such washed out images, they are white almost. Wasting so many credits trying to get a usable coloring
Maybe your using too many Loras at the same time?
FYI the neg embeddings page is 404 not found.

total sdxl and pony -top tier flux is the same- failed to do realistic body shape (again..shape not render) that standing -from side and side back and back - normally without kangaroo weird shape that alien pump that never exist in humans, besides few -or a lot!- of anatomy errors , that no one take care of ?!.
whole 'text to image models' review , year 2025.
can be tricky to work with, but has also produced some of the most incredible images I've seen here
No chances of it coming back to the civitai generator? Love the results it produces!!!

Easily one of my favorite models, but sadly, it's feeling a little dated by now. Would absolute love to see an updated version!
