About
To be honest, I made the SDXL version even before any of the Pony version, but I never posted it because I didn't think it was good enough. But the Pony models are never quite able to grasp the level of realism that you get with SDXL models. I was going to make a separate page for SDXL, but it just gets tedious with multiple model pages, so I'll just leave this here as a 'new version'. Does this mean I'm abandoning Pony? Not really. But I'll be posting new versions for both Pony and SDXL here.
Warning!
The SDXL version is technically still a work in progress, so expect a few defects and mishaps when generating. The biggest problem with the model is that it likes to default to nudity and NSFW stuff. So unless you specify the clothing that your character wears, it will try to make them nude with random genital parts. Also, the prompt adherence level is what you'd expect from an SDXL model. And penis generation is also a bit of a hit-and-miss, sometimes it looks good, sometimes it doesn't. So if you want to make NSFW stuff, you're better off using the Pony version since this model is better suited for SFW and semi-NSFW photography.

About
A Pony based model aimed at creating realistic images similar to my HomoFidelis model. While it is better at following prompts, especially for things like body parts and positions, in some ways it is still pretty limited when it comes to creative gens. And since its a PDXL model, it still has that 'Pony realism' look that's not quite photorealistic but I'm hoping to change that in later updates.

Pony v2.0
What's new:
Overall improvement
More control over body and muscles weights
Easier to generate 'beefier' characters
Better optimization for male characters so hopefully less chance of an accidental female gens
Slight tweak with the realism

I was a big fan on 1.0, and I'm liking 2.0 even more so far
I'm glad you like it!! :)
Great to see a male-focused pony model! One of my go tos for sure.
We need more of them that's for sure lol..
new version? omg :D can't wait to try it. already very impressed with the base version.
thank you, i look forward to having a fiddle 💪🏻🍆
Have fun lol..
so far so good. the men are far more burly than HFXL 1.0- not necessarily a bad thing.
@twaet Yeah, that's intentional on my part. I like them beefy lol. But with the right prompts you can still get skinny and lean muscled guys.
It works for some things nicely. It's not slow, and it makes detailed, realistic images. However, it also generates women readily, and with no sense of rhyme or reason, just arbitrarily. It does not deal well with hair colours or styles it was not prepared for, and I was unable to generate anyone with actual black hair. Even in the flaccid state, it gives genitals an excessively veiny look. It also seems to have an odd sense of proportion and doesn't deal well with men who aren't beefy and musclebound. This tendency also means that most generations will give a man who looks older than you wanted him to look in the cheeks and on the face, and also often seemed to give mine tired eyes. Fair enough, given the world we live in, but I hope the feedback will help.
Unfortunately, this was similar to my experience with 2.0. I went back to using 1.0 for now.
how about this, you upload version two on tensor art, you got 2k Buzz?? deal?
Lmao, if this is a deal then you're suppose to pay me after I've done it.. 😂
I'll update it on tensor too..
@Kairen92 I already pay you, look it up! :D
@Los_Norelos I know, that's why I said to pay me AFTER I upload it, not BEFORE lol..
@Los_Norelos I'm still uploading it btw, I'll let you know when it's done. Also, thank you so much for the buzz btw !!! ❤️❤️❤️
@Los_Norelos Finished uploading on Tensor.. :)
@Kairen92 thank you!! I'll give you buzz every update!! you are the best!
Can you please allow on-site generation?
That's up to Civitai. Usually after 1 or 2 days, they change to the newer version. If after 3 days and it's still unavailable, I'll contact Civitai's staff..
@Kairen92
It is not available since then. When you edit your model section, you might need to allow these checkbook blow:
Commercial Use
Select all permissions you would like to apply to your model.
This section is directly about on-site generation.
@kht_muscle no it's not that. I always make my models available for the generator. But for checkpoints, Civitai said they have a limit for their site generator so they always give the space for more popular models. And this site is dominated by female content so they dont care about male stuff that much..
@Kairen92 oh dang.... the only ckpt that I have used was 1.0 ver so far but now it is not available either and didn't know that civitai is limiting on-site generation for ckpt... :(
@kht_muscle They have always limited checkpoints even from before, only loras are auto enabled since they are smaller. I didn't even noticed the v1.0 was gone. They said they're deleting older models to make room for newer ones, hmmm ..
Free space on hard drive is crying haha love the model
Lol, I know what you mean. Glad you like the model!
Great model.
@Kairen92 First off, huge thanks for your incredible work! It’s always exciting to see you releasing new models.
I have a quick question—have you encountered any challenges fine-tuning an SDXL (non-Pony) model to achieve the same level of photo-realism as your SD 1.5 HomoFidelis series? Is that something you're currently exploring?
Also, I’d love to learn more about your training process for creating these amazing models. Have you ever considered writing an article to share insights on that?
Thanks again for everything you do!
Hi there. thank you so much..
I actually do have an SDXL version of HomoFidelis that's like my go-to for photorealistic images. I've even posted some example images on my page, but it's probably buried under all of the newer stuff. The level of realism of the output is actually not bad but I never upload the model because I don't think it's good enough, there's a few kinks I'm trying to work out. For now I'm putting it on the back burner..
No I don't think I'll be writing an article about anything. I might have trained and share some stuff but I am by no means an expert. I don't wanna accidentally talk out of my own ass, lol ..
@Kairen92 I greatly appreciate your efforts. I hope to see your SDXL version one day
I have checked your 2 version their is so amazing I want to be available on site generate
was this intended to focus on males because i still get females and Im tired off every model vomiting vaginas constantly
Unfortunately pony (and sdxl in general) are just too female focused so you will still get the occasional random females and vaginas no matter what model you use, especially for pony based models. Pony models are also a nightmare to work with and I can only do so much without reducing the overall quality and realism. For now, I'm waiting for a better alternative to pony..
p/s: Always include tags like "1boy" or "male focus" in your prompts to avoid accidental female gens. If it still happens then add tags like "female" and "pussy" in your negatives.
@Kairen92 Thanks I'll try that :)
use '1girl' and 'vaginal' in your negative prompt. A lot of what you see people prompting for isn't actually in the list of tags for Pony like "masterpiece" on its own. Vagina on its own isn't in there but pussy is, man/1man isn't in there on its own but "1boy", "2" to "5boys" is, "cock" isn't in there on its own either but cock_ring and cock_docking are. I should add I could also be 'talking out of my own ass' too, I'm only basing it on a list of tags I copied and pasted into a text file, there's over 200,000 lines of tags so you have to use the search otherwise even I would go insane.
@Rivington very helpful thank you :)
