CyberRealistic Pony Catalyst V4.0 (DMD2)

This is the special DMD2 edition of CyberRealistic Pony Catalyst, fully rebuilt for faster, ultra-realistic generations while using fewer steps.
It’s a major upgrade over the V3.0 release, delivering next-level quality for both SFW and NSFW creations.

Recommended Settings

• Sampler: LCM

• Schedule Type: Exponential

• Sampling Steps: 8 (12 for extra fine detail)

• CFG Scale: 1.5

⚡ These settings are optimized for DMD2 and are not the same as my standard Pony workflow!

Patreon Exclusive Content

The full non-DMD2 version of CyberRealistic Pony Catalyst V4.0 is available exclusively on Patreon, along with other unique CyberRealistic checkpoints that are not published on Civitai.

In addition, future Catalyst models and experimental builds will also be released only on Patreon.

Hires.fix Settings

• Hires CFG Scale: Keep it the same as your main CFG scale, or set to 1

CyberRealistic Pony Catalyst is the wild child of the CyberRealistic Pony family. Built on the foundations of CyberRealistic Pony but wired for experimentation, Catalyst isn’t here to play it safe. It's where bold ideas, unstable brilliance, and next-gen prompting chaos all collide — and honestly? That’s the fun of it.

This isn’t your usual polished release. It’s a testbed, a workshop, a what-if-we-just- moment captured in model form. Expect unexpected results, strange breakthroughs, and sometimes magic that might just become the next official evolution.

🧪 What Makes It Different?

• Built for exploration — prompt freely, break boundaries, test weird stuff

• Updated between mainline releases with no rules but vibes

• Output can vary — but when it hits, it hits hard

⚠️ Keep It Responsible
