<h1 id="alma-experimentals-pdxl">🧪✨ Alma Experimentals PDXL 🐴</h1>A collection of pony-based experimental models created during the process of building my main releases. These are side merges that turned out unique or useful in their own right. ➡️ Don't sleep on the older versions — they each have distinct character and strengths!<hr /><h2 id="mbw_02-semi-realistic-illustration-style">🌌 MBW_02 – Semi-Realistic Illustration Style 🖌️</h2>🎨 Style: Semi-Realistic, Detailed Illustration 🔍 Best for: Fantasy 🧝, Sci-Fi 🚀, Horror 👻One of the first merges I created — it leans into dark, semi-realistic visuals with a strong illustrative feel. A solid choice for imaginative or eerie scenes.🧬 Merged From:<ul><li><code>WAI-ANI-HENTAI-PONLYXL_v40</code></li><li><code>Dark Photo Pony v3 flux</code></li></ul>📝 Initially not realistic enough for my mainline goal (which became Alma Realistic PDXL), but worth keeping for its atmosphere and genre strengths.<hr /><h2 id="mbw_03-enhanced-realism">🏙️ MBW_03 – Enhanced Realism 🌐</h2>🎨 Style: Realistic 🔍 Best for: Modern Scenes 🏢, Sci-Fi 🌌An update to MBW_02 that pushes further into realism, giving more grounded visual output while keeping some stylized charm.🧬 Merged From:<ul><li><code>MBW_02</code></li><li><code>ByMyPony-Photo3</code></li></ul><hr /><h2 id="mbw_04-realism-with-fantastic-detail">🛡️ MBW_04 – Realism with Fantastic Detail 🌠</h2>🎨 Style: Realistic 🔍 Best for: Fantasy 🧙, Sci-Fi 🧬, and Flexible Use 🎭Built during development of Alma Realistic PDXL, this model captures rich fantasy and sci-fi concepts while producing clean, detailed images.🧬 Merged From:<ul><li><code>BeMyPony-SemiRealAnime</code></li><li><code>One-Trick PonyXL v2.0</code></li></ul>💡 Can be considered a proto-version of Alma Realistic PDXL (“v0”). It’s a bit more predictable, though slightly weaker in anatomy compared to Alma Realistic v1 and v2.<hr /><h2 id="mbw_05-versatile-with-a-dark-edge">🌒 MBW_05 – Versatile with a Dark Edge 🌌</h2>🎨 Style: Realistic 🔍 Best for: Fantasy 🏹, Sci-Fi ⚙️, Horror 💀A fusion of MBW_03 and MBW_04, offering broader versatility. Leans into darker tones and creative themes while maintaining realism. Exhibits some influence from the Dark Photo Pony line, especially in facial styles.🧬 Merged From:<ul><li><code>MBW_03</code></li><li><code>MBW_04</code></li></ul><hr /><h2 id="mbw_06-photorealistic-base">📷 MBW_06 – Photorealistic Base 🎞️</h2>🎨 Style: Photorealistic 🔍 Best for: True-to-life visuals using pony-style prompts 🐴Serves as a precursor to Alma Photographic PDXL. Focuses on maximum realism while still capable of using pony-style prompt scoring.🧬 Merged From:<ul><li><code>ponyRealism_v2.2</code></li><li><code>ClarityXL_V2.0</code></li></ul>⚠️ Strong influence from ClarityXL may reduce performance on some niche pony concepts, but excels at realistic quality.<hr /><h2 id="r3.1-realistic-illustration-hybrid">🎨 r3.1 – Realistic Illustration Hybrid ✍️</h2>🎨 Style: Realistic Illustration 🔍 Best for: Stylized Realism, All-Purpose UseAn intermediate merge developed during the creation of Alma Realistic PDXL v3. Offers an appealing mix of realistic structure and stylized visual output.🧬 Merged From:<ul><li><code>Alma Photographic PDXL v2</code></li><li><code>BeMyPony-SemiRealAnime</code></li></ul><hr /><h2 id="p3.4-soft-semi-realistic-blend">🌸 p3.4 – Soft Semi-Realistic Blend 🌙</h2>🎨 Style: Semi-Realistic ✨ Aesthetic: Soft, Dreamy, Light-Toned 🔍 Best for: Gentle portraiture 💕, Romantic tones 💫, Elegant fantasy 🌸A delicate and aesthetically rich merge using Attention/DARE blending. p3.4 brings a soft, glowing visual quality that works well for dreamy scenes or emotive character work. Compared to other models in the Alma Experimentals PDXL line, this one emphasizes mood and softness over gritty detail or harsh realism.🧬 Merged From:<ul><li><code>Pony Realism v2.3</code></li><li><code>Alma Erotic Photo XL v1LS</code></li></ul>📝 Ideal for creators who want a romanticized, dreamy look with subtle realism and smooth lighting transitions.<hr />💡 Tip: These experimental models are perfect for exploring specific looks, themes, or styles that didn’t make it into the main releases — but are still valuable tools for creative work. Give each version a try and see what fits your workflow!<hr /><h2 id="show-me-what-you-make!">🖼️ Show Me What You Make!</h2>The most rewarding part of creating models like this is seeing what you create with them!
