    Pony Standard VAE - V1.0
    Preview undefined

    A series of specific use case VAEs to use for Pony (or SDXL) models.

    Standard:
    Nothing new to see here, the same as the one released by StabilityAI. Included here so that it may be specifically used with the on-site generator for models that have incorrect VAE or muted VAE.

    Pastel: Found here
    A new VAE that is specifically designed to help you get the soft, pastel colored images. Use a lower CFG aroun 2-5 to assist in desaturating colors. The VAE will do the rest.

    Skin Details:
    Coming shortly...

    Hello Zovya.

    How is it going with the Skin Detail VAE you are working on? :)

    Btw, there's no difference between the versions, they both are dupes of SDXL 0.9 VAE and both don't work with fp16. Just wanted to add just in case...
