Works with both Pony and Animagine LoRA
And it retains most of the Animagine character and style knowledge
Versions
Gamma
Enabled support for Pony LoRAs*
Improved limb quality
Decreased background quality due to additional merging of PonyDiffusion CLIP/TE**
(Possibly) better eroticism
Model name changed to Ponymagine 9.1 to reflect the sum of Pony's v6 and Animagine's v3.1
*- Some Pony LoRAs might not work fully, but at least they won't produce flaky noise anymore at least based on my testing. Any additional TE merging to improve Pony LoRA will lead to loss of Character/Artist knowledge of the Animagine model
**- I recommend using IPadapters or the Worldly XL LoRA for better backgrounds https://civarchive.com/models/376395?modelVersionId=420317
Beta
Initial published version
Leans more towards Animagine
Does not support all Pony LoRA. Most will result in Noise!
Purpose
The initial purpose of the model was to infuse character/artist knowledge from Animagine into PonyDiffusion without using weird tokens like 'aua' and to be able to use LoRAs trained on either of the models.
The end result, while it retained the knowledge, it washed up some of the character/styles however it gets 'close enough' with more tagging. It supports masterpiece tagging structures but adding some 'score' tags doesn't hurt.
Merge Details
Gamma is a merge between PonyDiffusion v6 and Animagine 3.1 . After the merge, a Lycoris extracted between the difference of AutismMix Confetti and PonyDiffusion v6 was merged at 0.8 ratio
Beta is a merge between a PonyDiffusion v6 mix (AutismMix Confetti) and Animagine 3.1 made possible by using DARE merging.
This is a BETA version. It is not meant to be perfect and it is not perfect. The main point of it is to get the word out that Merges between Pony-styled models and other SDXL models is possible without artifacts.
Disclaimer
As somebody already mentioned, not all Pony LoRAs work correctly on the Beta model ! This was achieved during its alpha merge stage but was scrapped in favor of DARE merging. I have an idea on how Pony LoRA support can be enabled again but it will require more testing on my side. Added support in Gamma

Samples
As I am hailing from /vtai/ the samples will focus on vtubers. This doesn't mean the model is not able to do anything else. Post your own creations and I might feature them instead.
The Intention of the posted Grid images is not to cherry pick and display the best images created with this model but rather to show the losses in character/style that occurred as a result of the merge. I am sure others can make better merges using this method.
The Generation data shows 'Aniamgine-xl-3.1' as the model because I had 3 models loaded at the time of the model merge. Animagine, AutismMix and the resulting merge. The samples have been extracted at the same time as I was testing the merge. ComfyUI is weird in that sense.
For the Gamma model, none of my generation details made it through as I started using Concatenation nodes. If you want some of the samples's data with my workflow I have uploaded them here: https://files.catbox.moe/slyoia.zip
License
As the license of PonyDiffusion is more strict, the model will follow the same modified version, quoting the following from the PonyDiffusion model:
The following modifications have been added to Fair AI Public License:
You are not permitted to run inference of this model on websites or applications allowing any form of monetization (paid inference, faster tiers, etc.). This applies to any derivative models or model merges.
Explicit permission for commercial inference has been granted to CivitAi and Hugging Face
Merge Recipe
To find out/reuse the merge recipe you require ComfyUI and the DARE extension.
After both are installed, you can just drag the model into ComfyUI to load the same workflow I had when the model was merged. (WARNING: very messy!)
JSON sample also added to Model's Training Files
Acknowledgement
I didn't expect so many people to download and like a model that was meant for testing purposes. I have a new build in testing that does not generate noise when using Pony LoRAs but currently their effect is dampened or not working at all. I am working on improving it to allow Pony LoRAs to work as well. The sad part is backgrounds and aesthetics seem to be affected the more LoRA compatibility there is and concept LoRA don't seem to work very well as of this moment.

FAQ
Comments (30)
hi, can it NSFW? o.o
Anything can NSFW these days, but as the model is heavily influenced by Animagine, it will be harder to generate images of men interacting with women while they are fully/partially visible without extensive prompting. POV and basic NSFW are easily achievable in base Animagine as well, so this model keeps up and (hopefully) enhances that experience. Ohh and make sure to use the newest, Gamma version which I have just uploaded
Good job!
Thank you. By the way, as this is an Animagine-based model, you don't really have to use a lora for Love Live girls. It already knows them. You can call them out in your prompt by their danbooru tags, like this: "yuki setsuna \(love live!\), love live!, love live! nijigasaki high school idol club"
This is pretty much the entire reason for the model, to not require LoRA for popular characters, just like on Animagine, but to embed the better anatomy of Pony.
Here's an example I made in a rush testing out Yuki Setsuna
I prefer to use LoRA for official love live game art style although the base model already contains various characters. The LoRA is trained on Animagine but can be used with various Pony LoRAs by using this checkpoint. Anyway, Thank you for amazing work!!!
@Ainme_Diffusion I'm glad you can combine loras like that, thank you for the feedback! I just intended to make you aware as a lot of people have been using only pony-based models and they are not aware of the extensive character/artist knowledge of other model branches. Great work with the style!
Makes cute stuff.
Thanks. Animagine itself might be better at making cute stuff though. At least it has proper backgrounds, unlike my model.
animagine's quality tags stronger than pony. so you should use "masterpiece, best quality, very aesthetic, absurdres", not "score_9, score_8_up, score_7_up, score_6_up, score_5_up, score_4_up".
I use pony's quality tags have some weirdo SD characters around character even I tag "solo"
Indeed, for the gamma version the score tags don't do anything. This can be easily determined by adding 'text' to your prompt as it will start writing 'score' everywhere on the image as it doesn't understand the tag.
This is some good sauce bro!
What were the prompts used in the images OP generated? It'd be nice to attempt to recreate them.
The Second image has my entire workflow. You need to use comfyui to replicate it. Just click on the little (i) button, then on the copy sign where it says Workflow: 117 nodes (copy sign).
Without Comfyui, the token weighting is entirely different so there is no point in trying to replicate it on A1111/Forge
If I can find the original Op image, i'll share it with metadata
Here is the original image with metadata. Again, it's Comfy.

@CCC_anon From what I can tell, it hides the prompt from you. It'd be nice to try to recreate all of these as they are all individually stunning, especially the one with the girl holding beer.
@CCC_anon I should have said this earlier but this link has no Metadata. It'd honestly be nice to know and sorry for bothering you again XD. These images look gorgeous and It'd be nice to replicate them to at least some extent.
@User37 It loads just fine if loaded in comfy and you install all of the custom nodes (as the prompt is written in 8 text boxes provided by custom nodes which are then merged together in a specific order)
It ends up looking like this: https://files.catbox.moe/89pd51.png
The end result after merging the text boxes is:
Positive:
score_9, score_8_up, score_7_up, source_anime, takane lui, hololive, takane lui \(1st costume\), hololive, absurdres, highres, 1girl, barefoot, bed sheet, black choker, black gloves, black shorts, breast zipper, breasts, choker, closed mouth, collared shirt, feet, foot focus, foreshortening, gloves, greek toe, hair wings, hand up, head wings, indoors, knees up, large breasts, legs, legs together, long sleeves, medium hair, necktie, one eye closed, partially fingerless gloves, pink background, pink hair, red necktie, shadow, shirt, short shorts, shorts, sidelocks, soles, solo, thigh strap, thighs, toenails, toes, tongue, tongue out, virtual youtuber, white shirt, wings, xo \(xo17800108\), expressive, award winning,
8k, absurdres,
Negative:
text, japanese text, error, blur, blurry background, multiple views, source_pony, source_furry, source_cartoon, ,
This website will also show you the metadata but they delete results after 24 hours (you can load the image in yourself if they deleted it): https://www.metadata2go.com/result#j=6d22d32d-c1c6-467a-ab01-59cab75c8af0
And again, replication is impossible outside of comfy because A1111/Forge use a different normalization of tokens.
@CCC_anon I didn't try Comfyui, sorry. I very much appreciate you replying!
@CCC_anon If you are still willing to help, I am having issues with downloading the nodes as ComfyUI manager was only able to find 10. Do you have any suggestions on where to find them all?
Edit: With a restart and a lot of downloading, I have them all except Ultimate SD Upscale. Im seeing if I can fix this through forcing it with "git clone https://github.com/ssitu/ComfyUI_UltimateSDUpscale --recursive"
It still failed.
@User37 You don't need everything to get the image. You can pretty much stop the workflow at the point where the second ksampler outputs an image. I think the group is called "2nd pass" or "hi-rez pass". Everything afterwards that point was not used to make the images and just exists in my workflow, so no Adetailer and no Ultimate Upscale would be required.
Hello! If you don't mind me asking. What exactly is the normalize model node used for? How do you use it? I've been wanting to try merging some models, but I am a complete noob lol
It's is not being used in this merge. I have it left over in the workflow because I wanted to play around with it but my RAM couldn't handle everything. If I upgrade any time soon and try it out, I'll post another comment. For now the only explanation is the one available on https://github.com/54rt1n/ComfyUI-DareMerge?tab=readme-ov-file#normalization
@CCC_anon Thanks for taking the time to respond to my comment! Looking forward to seeing more stuff from you!
@TheKite You can check out my new model merge released earlier today, LeekAI https://civitai.com/models/564727?modelVersionId=629367
@CCC_anon Ah! I am looking forward to checking it out! Did you use the same merge settings that you provided here?
@TheKite That one didn't use DARE merging. It used Block merging (MBW) instead. It does have a tiny insignificant fraction of this model in it though, inherited from Trifusion which used Ponymagine as base.
Really great model, but are there any trigger words or something to change the art style entirely to pony or animagine? Or something that allows it to deactivate one of the models?
Try artist names as styles similar to how animagine does it, by starting your prompt with 'by xxxx', however if you want styles, I would recommend my other model, LeekAI, which is far better at changing its style on the fly. The intention for Ponymagine was just to have better compatibility between Pony and Animagine LoRAs.
非常感谢,总算让我用aniXL练出来的lora借pony系的lora出更多的涩图了
Hey, just wondering if you would be willing to make an Illustrious-Animagine merge or something else like that. Ponymagine was phenomenal, and if a merge with Illustrious was released by you, I do not doubt that it could potentially be one of the greatest Illustrious models ever released.
