This is a model merge checkpoint based on PonyXL with some of my LORAs merged into. The focus is trying to preserve PonyXL's default set of styles and characters while also adding the ability to do photorealistic images as well as hopefully better monsters,vehicles, mechs, and landscapes. This model is mostly a test/learning expierience in model merging, but hopefully it will also be able to produce decent images. The current version is still very much in beta so expect some wonky results. In order to improve realism, I also merged in SXZ Luma and Pony Realism, in order to strengthen the ability to generate base pony art styles those models are either incapable of or have difficulty generating. I recommend checking each version's description as some may need different keywords and parameters. This model obviously inherits PonyDiffusion's license, as well as those of <a target="_blank" rel="ugc" href="https://civarchive.com/models/25831?modelVersionId=725032">SXZ Luma</a> and <a target="_blank" rel="ugc" href="https://civarchive.com/models/372465?modelVersionId=914390">Pony Realism</a>, and I'm unsure whether or not I need permission to post it to civitai to begin with. If you want to merge this model with another your perfectly fine to, though I would wait for a more stable version if you intend to do so.

I re-adjusted the merge again to increase the 3d style strength, reducing the photorealistic strength further, which should make the model more flexible with other styles. Reducing the amount of steps and CFG scale will produce more photorealistic images with the right prompts and negatives, but its less over-trained on photorealism.
