V5 is DMD2 so, LCM Karras or Normal 4-12 steps, cfg 1-1.5(or 2).
Versions 2.5 and 3.0 can work with the same settings and fairly OK with 12 steps but better with 16.
Decided to try something a bit different from my other 2 pony checkpoints.
Based on fast photo pony 8B.
Better at creating aliens and monsters.
I quite like it so I decided to share it.
Still hate hands sometimes...
Quite fast too if you want it to be, like Euler 12 steps for example.
Description
Is it bug free? of course not.
Does it create fun pictures? yes.
Yes it is supposed to be weird, it is the dark pony after all.
LCM min 4 steps better 8

I've been experimenting with your new v4 model, it seems really good, would it be possible to get a normal non DMD2 version. I'm not sure why, but the DMD2 version seems to be causing distortion issues on the DrawThings app. Besides that the model appears to have fantastic realism and atmosphere.
Unfortunately I cant as it is based on my other dmd2 models so I cant remove dmd2. I don't think there is a way to "un-dmd2" a model. I have an idea with kohya ss but not sure if it will work.
@TiwazM No worries, thanks for the help. 👍
@TiwazM Mixing the model with a DMD2 LoRA at -100% strength seems to have worked.
@QH96 interesting if I do that in A1111 it breaks things
I am not using DrawThings a lot however for some reason I don't like the UI much and Diffusion Bee develeopment is slow :(
@TiwazM DrawThing definitely has a learning curve. I remember uninstalling it multiple times because I couldn't figure out how it works. The DrawThing developer is a Duracell bunny, releasing updates every few days. He managed to add support for Flux within a few days of its release.

Dark Photo Pony v4, CFG: 1, steps: 8. (Using a CFG of 1 massively speeds up generation).
Hi-res used at 1280x1856.
Testing Hyper vs Lightning and Eular A vs DPM++ 2M

v4 Review: It's really, really good. A hidden gem of a Pony checkpoint. Has very high detail. Great atmosphere. It's realism is amazing. The model makes you want to go back and regenerate older images to see what they'd look like. If the model had onsite generation, I think it'd become really popular. Highly recommend.
I tried to get some models on there but not sure how. From what I read either a model needs to be liked enough or you need 1000 followers to get in the creator club.
Neither is the case for me at the moment.
