<h1 id="heading-16">Welcome!</h1>Thanks for checking out my latest project!  There's obviously a lot going on in the Pony space here on Civitai, most of which is really amazing!  I've spent a lot of time lately creating new merges with various Pony / SDXL models.  My focus has been creating models that I really like the style of "out of the box", without needing to tweak the visuals with LoRA stacks.  I put a lot of ingredients into the punchbowl that eventually became Siren, including my own Specter, AutismMix DPO, PonyFaetality, as well as Envy's Seductress and Better Hi-Res Fix LoRAs.  This merge is a result of dozens of attempts, X/Y/Z plots, and test runs.  I hope you enjoy the images that this model creates as much as I do!  As always, please share your results and let me know what you think! All sample images were generated with no LoRA or TI.  They do have Adetailer and Hires.fix turned on.  Faces still generally look OK without Adetailer, but I recommend using it if possible.  <h3 id="heading-17">If you are new to Pony, here are some tips:</h3>Scoring - Use score_9, score_8_up, score_7_up, score_6_up, score_5_up in your positive prompt instead of SD1.5/SDXL quality tages.  Or use Zovya's Tis that do this for you with fewer keystrokes. You can also use some of the baked in sources and content ratings  to control  the kind of output you get: Sources - 'source_pony', 'source_furry', 'source_cartoon' and 'source_anime'Ratings - 'rating_safe', 'rating_questionable' and 'rating_explicit'<h3 id="heading-18">My Usual Settings / Other Tested Options</h3>Sampler -DPM++ 2M SDE Karras / Restart / Euler ASteps - 30--50 (30 for fast gens to test ideas, 50 for things I may save/post)Resolution -896x1152, 832x1216 (or flip for landscape) Hires.fix:Upscaler - Ultramix_balanced, 4x_UltrasharpSteps - 15 or 20Denoise -.3-.4Upscale by - 1.5 - 2.0

Siren PDXL

I've had lots of requests to provide lightning versions of my models, and I finally got some time to work on it. I'm tagging this as a beta for now while I sort out some issues with my A1111 installation. It feels buggy to me, but might not be related to the model itself.This model is not great with hands, and doesn't work great with hi-res fix.Keep in mind settings for Lightning need to be:<ul><li>Sampler - Euler, Euler A, DPM++ 2M SDE</li><li>Scheduler - SGM Uniform</li><li>CFG Scale - 1 (1.5 or 2 will usually work, anything beyond that will cook your image)</li></ul>
