Tips and tricks
Use light prompts as much as possible, Pony models work wonders with few tokens
Avoid using many textual inversions, they will hijack your main prompt
Using ADetailer for faces is STRONGLY RECOMMENDED, you will thank me looking at results
You can randomise seed, but I like to use these two batches on XYZ plots, they work decently:
42, 123456789, 51234, 987654321
1234, 54321, 2023, 7777, 8080, 314159, 8675309, 666666, 101010, 424242

FAQ
Comments (33)
Can you please release SDXL version?
Not fan of Pony models & their prompting, too confusing & complicated :(
thanks for the feedback, I'll try to work on something if I have time!
I use to think that until I actually looked into it and really, you just have to copy/paste "score_9, score_8, score_7_up" to the beginning of every positive prompt and everything else is pretty much like every other model, IMO
@phlesh you can use embeddings in the positive prompt to avoid always adding scores at the beginning. otherwise, try without scores, results are different but equally decent
@SassyAI yea I know, I was trying to keep it simple
Images seem incredibly bleached out, almost colorless with v8.0. Using all the correct settings so not sure what the issue is. v7.0 works fine too
mmhh interesting, thanks for the feedback. from the testing I did, they seemed fine. quality was better than v7. I'll try to improve for v9
Seems no VAE is baked in this time. All previous models worked fine.
@BuffyDusk yep, VAE is not baked in, you can use the standard SDXL VAE or the Pony one
@SassyAI TY, definitely was the issue
@SassyAI Unfortunatley I am using mage.space and cannot import VAE there. Hopefully a version 7.x or 8.x will return with VAE baked in.
@BuffyDusk I'll bake it in for v9, thanks for letting me know!
Pleasantly surprised by this one!
thanks! happy you like it!
Easily one of the best Checkpoints on the site. Great results with this one. Also works well when used with another Checkpoint like Cyberrealistic Pony when using in a Refiner workflow.
thanks!!
Can you tell what is refiner workflow?
@abhiraj320 It's a workflow that tends to get really sharp results by using two checkpoints (or the same checkpoint, but twice). It generates a primary image from the first checkpoint and then puts a little bit of noise into the image so that when the second checkpoint runs, it has to "refine" the image (ie: remove the noise) and basically sharpens what the first generation already did. Google "refiner workflow comfyui" and you'll find one for download. Highly recommended.
Now If I want to train my character Lora, should I download this checkpoint and train over that? or should I train over base pony?
Can you help me?
you can try both, but usually it's better (and safer) to train on the base pony model. Unless you only want to use this model to generate. Training on the base pony makes your LoRA more flexible
@SassyAI OstrisAI don't have PONY base model to train for. How to train on OstrisAI?
@abhiraj320 Can't you download/upload it and train on it? Otherwise try training on this one and see results
OK model. Nice rendering. Not so true to the prompt.
I'm getting white spots all over the generated image. Anyone having the same issue or am i missing something ?
Sounds like a missing VAE to me?
Yeah, @gman_umscht has a point.
Try generating with a VAE. This model doesn't have a baked-in VAE
If it still doesn't work, hmu on Discord https://discord.gg/MCM5c2bka4
This is my favorite checkpoint of all time. Everything feels polished but not overly. A little resistant to exact adherence. But man. Such great results sometimes.
Thanks a lot! Happy that you manage to harness the real power of this checkpoint 😉
Kinda hype about this.
Thanks! Keep posting your creations 😊
