Pony Mega Mix XL 2.0 is a major reworking of the original checkpoint merge. This version has some great new models merged into it, in an effort to cover more bases than v1.0 did.I made every effort to review all of the licenses before creating and publishing this version of the merge; if I made an inadvertant mistake here, please let me know, and I will rework this to remove your checkpoint/merge/Lora right away.This version also has a VAE baked into it (sdxl_vae_fp16_fix), so you shouldn't need your own VAE anymore with this merge. If you do come across an issue with color saturation, please let me know, so I can address it in the next version.As always, all credit goes to the creators who tirelessly work to create the great checkpoints and merges that are included here. Please consider sending them your buzz, or a Ko-Fi, or hit up their Patreon if they have one!My preferred settings are:<ul><li>Sampler: Euler a, Automatic, 35+ steps, CFG: 7, Clip skip: 2</li><li>Resolution: 832x1216 (portrait) or 1216x832 (landscape)</li><li>Hires Fix: Any 4X upscaler (I've been using 4x_NMKD-Siax_200k lately).</li></ul>ADetailer seems like to wreak some havoc on hands with this merge, so I suggest using an embedding to address any hand issues instead. Face tweaks with ADetailer are fine; remember to apply your keywords in ADetailer (especially if you are using Regional Prompter).And keep in mind that this is still a Pony XL-derived merge. I did not merge in anything that attempts to remove the Pony scoring keywords, as I had varied success with them, which made it difficult to know when to use them. So, you'll probably have better luck by including them when using this merge.My goal for the next version is to work on backgrounds, what are a notorious weakness of PDXL.And please post any images you make with this merge; I'd love to see what comes out of it!
