"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: https://boosty.to/coyotte/donate or Bitcoin bc1q6jw8rgx9nx4u07dpe8kexc7thxwmlwcq2rhzf7. 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 Discord

Negative 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 checkpoints

Pony'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.

My simple yet organized workflow I've used for creating the preview samples: https://files.catbox.moe/147f5i.json

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
