"DAMN!" (c) - my first thought when the finetuning ended and I saw the final results.BEFORE USING THE MODEL, READ THE DESCRIPTION, SPECIFICALLY THE PROMPTING AND PARAMETERS SECTIONS.If you want to support me or help me cover the costs: <a target="_blank" rel="ugc" href="https://boosty.to/coyotte/donate">https://boosty.to/coyotte/donate</a> or Bitcoin 1CoMZvrXtRXbz7BCzdvxifSjHqhaf1yUZs. Every donation will go towards developing chekpoints, workflows and loras (this stuff is costly). I have big plans, but little means to fulfill them 💀YOU ARE NOT ALLOWED TO USE THIS MODEL AS A PART OF YOUR MERGE, UNLESS YOU CREDIT ME IN THE DESCRIPTION.Important prompt structure for Illustrious-based version. Rule #1: More tags ≠ Better output. It's actually other way around. Do you really need 89 tags? Rule #2: Use danbooru tags. Rule #3: If your prompt causes physical nausea to read - fix it. Rule #4: DON'T use Pony loras on Illustrious.Positive prompt: ✅ Try: masterpiece, best quality, realistic, [your subject, actions, clothing, etc]. ❌ Avoid: 3 paragraphs of random junk you saw in DiscordNegative prompt: ✅ Try: bad quality, worst quality, low quality, [something very specific to the prompt you're working on right now] ❌ Avoid: dozens of redundant anatomy tags like "missing limbs, bad eyes, floating limbs, etc", negative embeddings made for specific checkpointsPony's quality tags like "score_9, score_8_up, score_7_up" AREN'T doing anything on it. If you choose to ignore the guide and are getting trash results - please also ignore the "rate" button.<img src="https://image.civitai.com/xG1nkqKTMzGDvpLrqFT7WA/c2f489b7-51b0-42ac-918f-f214897d69e4/width=525/c2f489b7-51b0-42ac-918f-f214897d69e4.jpeg" />My simple yet organized workflow I've used for creating the preview samples: <a target="_blank" rel="ugc" href="https://files.catbox.moe/147f5i.json">https://files.catbox.moe/147f5i.json</a>RECOMENDED PARAMETERS FOR BEST RESULTS: ◦ Sampler: DPM++ 2M SDE / DPM++ 3M SDE / DPM++ SDE ◦ 30-40 Steps. ◦ CFG: 3-6 (low for more realism, high for more stylization) ◦ The model was on trained mostly on 1024x1024, 832x1216, 1216x832, 896x1152, 1152x896 resolutions, so it could help the quality if you used these (although that's not necessary - it behaves nicely on other aspect ratios as well). ◦ Highres fix: Upscale by 1.35-1.5, denoising strength ~0.4, upscaler - 4x NMKD Superscale or Siax. For the distant shots of people you probably wanna use highres fix/upscaling and/or adetailer. PARAMETERS FOR WORST POSSIBLE RESULTS: ◦ Sampler: Euler A ◦ 15 Steps. ◦ CFG: 11 ◦ 512x768 resolution or whatever. ◦ No highres.fix/upscaling, no FaceDetailer/ADetailer

????! [Illustrious/Pony Realistic Model]

DAMN! REBORN (Pony/illustrious)

v5.0 (Illustrious/NoobAI)

REBORN (Illustrious) v4.0

v3.0 LIGHTNING 8 Steps

v3.0 (OUTDATED)

v1.0 (OUTDATED)

DAMN!" (c) - my first thought when the finetuning ended and I saw the final results.Make sure to read the description, there's a lot of important tips.UPD 05.08: V3 LIGHTNING 8 STEPS IS OUT! Recomended parameters for it are in the 'about this version' tab.WHAT'S NEW in V3:1) Everything. V3 is a complete rework.2) My biggest priority was trying to obliterate the ugly "PONY FACE" most of the pony checkpoints still have. I somewhat managed to do that.3) I'm no longer chasing 100% level of realism (for that you're better off using my other checkpoint LUSTIFY!) and settled for 90% instead.TO GET THE BEST RESULTS:1) You may or may not want to use the "score_9, score_8_up, score_7_up" prompt. The decision heavily depends on your tastes and the rest of the prompt, so I recomend trying with and without it.2) DO NOT USE "score_5_up, score_4_up, worst quality, deformed eyes, extra fingers, other brainrot BS" in your negatives. We are not in the SD 1.5 era anymore. Shizo prompting needs to go. Only add something to the negatives if the thing you don't want to see in the photo keeps showing up every time ("depth of field, blurry background" for example). If you still do that despite my warnings - shame on you, I won't accept any complaints.RECOMENDED PARAMETERS:◦ Sampler: DPM++ 2M SDE / DPM++ 3M SDE / DPM++ SDE◦ 30-40 Steps.◦ CFG: 2.5-6◦ The model was on trained mostly on 1024x1024, 832x1216, 1216x832, 896x1152, 1152x896 resolutions, so it could help the quality if you used these (although that's not necessary - it behaves nicely on other aspect ratios as well).◦ Highres fix: Upscale by 1.35-1.5, denoising strength ~0.4, upscaler - 4x NMKD Superscale or Siax.For the distant shots of people you probably wanna use highres.fix and/or adetailer.

DAMN! [PonyXL Realistic Model]

1)  fixed what was wrong with v4.0 - the faces are now better on the distant shots even without ADetailer/FaceDetailer. The model will also no longer force the details where they aren't needed.
2) I've done additional training on a diverse dataset for A LONG time. Like, so long it turned out much more costly than I would've prefered...
3) THAT ONE pony/illustrious face is anihilated. Seriously, I'm about to throw up every time I see that abomination on 90% of realistic illustrious merges/finetunes. This needed to be stoped, so I did it.
