As this is a merge based off PonyDiffusion v6 I HIGHLY recommend you read the description of that model for information regarding prompting, tags, and baked in characters.

TL;DR Generation Settings:

• Sampler - Euler a / Restart / DPM++ 2M Karras

• Sampling Steps - 25

• I upscale to 4x using this process and the upscaler below:

  • 4X AnimeSharp

• Dimensions - 832x1216, 1216x832, or 1024x1024

• CFG Scale - 7 or higher

• One or more passes of ADetailer

  • Some combination of the following for faces and eyes

    • Anzhc's Face Seg Prototype

    • Anzhc's BeautifEYEr

I use the following positive and negative prompt. I DO NOT USE ANY SOURCE TAGS (source_anime, source_furry etc) :

• score_9, score_8_up, score_7_up, BREAK {prompt}

  • tags such as realistic, bokeh, depth of field can help enhance the realistic look

• NO NEGATIVE PROMPT OR EMBEDDINGS REQUIRED

  • simply prompt for what you don't want to see as it comes up

See sample images for examples.

Experimental attempt to bring the Semi-Realistic 2.5d style of my old Pseudo Mix to Pony. Works best with character-centric prompts. Hands are still fairly messy at this point. Resources I used are listed in the Suggested Resources.

As with most of my mixes, this is intended to produce female characters and leans towards NSFW.
