    If you like my work, buy me a coffee, so I can spend less money on caffeine and more on upgrading my hardware to create future AI models and images even faster (much appreciated).

    About this Model:

    I spent a long time trying to find an existing model that had the flexibility of PonyXL, but still offered the possibility of creating realistic images. The Mklan Pony Hyper model was the closest I could get to this goal, but the faces and hands still looked a bit weird, so I gradually added more ingredients until I came up with this realistic PonyXL / SDXL Hyper model.

    Recommended Settings:

    • CLIP Skip: 1

    • Text Guidance (CFG): 2

    • Steps: 12

    • Sampler: Euler A Trailing (aka Euler A SGMUniform)

    • HiRes Fix: Upscale by 1.5 & 2nd Pass Strength @ 40% (aka Denoising Strength 0.4)

    • Optional: Detailer Script for Faces (aka ADetailer)

    • Optional: (ESRGAN 4x) UniversalUpscaler V2 Sharp

    Recommended Positive Prompt:

    score_9, score_8_up, score_7_up BREAK [YOUR PROMPT]

    FYI: If you use Draw Things to generate images (like I do), then you need to replace BREAK with an actual line break by pressing Shift+Enter on your keyboard (as seen in my image metadata).

    Recommended Negative Prompt:

    Usually not needed at all

    Important Notes:

    All my models and images were created in Draw Things for macOS and iOS (and of course verified in A1111 before publishing them here). VAE is always baked-in in all my checkpoints.

    I hope I don't flood the Draw Things Discord server with too many new users (and corresponding questions). But it feels good to finally give something back to the CivitAI & Draw Things community after so many months of learning and experimenting. Let's see what people do with it, I hope not just nudes and porn.

    Wow, 1000 downloads in less than five days. I would like to take this opportunity to thank everyone who gave my personal go-to model (when it comes to realistic images) a chance. Thank you very much!

    I tested your model and was thoroughly impressed. The image quality is exceptionally high, with precise prompt output, intricate details, and vibrant colors. This model truly stands out as a visual delight. 馃憦馃憤

    Thank you for citing my model here, I would be curious of what ingredient you add to it ;)

    Besides some realistic/photo Pony LoRAs I had to also add some (non-Pony) SDXL ingredients to get out of the uncanny valley (especially with faces/eyes). This is also the reason it lacks some of the NSFW (and Furry) capabilities that your model excels at (as I had to dial back the Pony parts). But I don鈥榯 mind, as I鈥榤 usually more on the SFW side with my images. And if people want to go all-in on NSFW they also have the link to your model ;)

    Nice model, good for SC NSFW.

    However, it seems to have trouble with more HC themes such as cum and so on.

    I know, this is due to the fact that I had to add some SDXL ingredients to fix the uncanny valley (faces, eyes) that would have been a pure realistic Pony models.

    Excellent model! Is it possible if you do another version to remove the hyper so it can be used with other samplers and higher config?

    I've actually decided to devote more time to generating images again and wait and see how the whole SD3 story develops before I build new models again. But maybe I'll find time in the next few days to test whether the same mix would also work as good without Hyper (but obviously testing will take way more time, as non-hyper models are really slow and I basically stopped using them).

    @iCatcher聽Ah ok then but you're just getting started as a supermerger! :) What ever you decide, all the best! I've got 2x 3090s , so the extra time for extra quality isn't an issue. I couldn't stand those LCM models when they came out, quality was so bad. But i have no problem with the quality of this model at all. I was just hoping to merge it with other pony models for better TAGs. They use the other common samplers.

    It looks really nice for quite a few things, but when generating people there's this weird "sports" theme going on. Usually its something minor in the background but occasionally someone will just be wearing a jersey for no reason.

    Cool model, can't do hardcore stuff but having a realistic touch is a nice change of pace from the barbie doll faces.

    This model is a breath of fresh air amongst all the static and generic Pony mixes, there's some other gems out there but this one really stands out, bravo!

    That being said, curious as to what makes this model so resistant to Loras? Some are okay, others it just flat out ignores, Pony or XL Loras. Don't see anything in the description about it but that's been my experience...

    I find a CFG of around 4 is the perfect balance for realistic shots. Overall this is a wonderful model that gives you some really unique results!

    Hi guys, i am new to ai thing, can someone tell me why this model is having such a hard time generating hardcore nsfw? Also why it is very resistatant to loras? I have not seen this problems with another models. How can i overcome this?
