Should I use this checkpoints?

if previously you have any lora that you failed to achieved in reality pony checkpoint, you can consider giving this checkpoint a try.

One of the reason i created this checkpoint is because some lora like cross-section / x-ray related and monster / non-human related do not work well in other checkpoints i previously used. But the result is much more simple to prompt and more aesthetic with this checkpoint. Of course result is not guaranteed and might need some prompting magic for lora to work (provided the lora is trained well), but so far it works wonder for me.

Guess i am not satisfied with v1, so here's v3.

where's v2? well before publishing it, i already ventured to v3, but i'll publish in future for anyone who are interested.

A summary of v3 as follow (from my own opinion):

realism: v2 = v1 > v3

prompting: v3 > v2 > v1

aesthetic: v3 > v2 > v1

in short, unfortunately with v3, the default female char generation is pretty much the pony female that is same as a lot of other model. I sacrificed some realism for some creativity, allowing myself to generate alot more generation that is not possible with v1 and at the same time the lora compatibility is better compared to v1.

Tips: adding 'realistic' does help if you noticed the generation is leaned toward 2d.

use 'reforge webui' and experiment with the various builtin extension for some magic.

A model i merged using various checkpoints in civitai. The main purpose of this checkpoint is for my own purpose of achieving unreal nsfw content in realistic setting.

There are some checkpoints in civitai that excel in realistic image, but quite often when used with lora in civitai, the image broke easy (resulting only noises). Hence I decided to try some merging and made my own checkpoints for this purpose, as of my testing so far, the result is satisfactory for me.

Results tend to be NSFW, but it is able to generate SFW image (might need some works to achieve it)

Notes:

1. I use Reforge WebUI with various settings enabled (adetailer, FreeU Integrated, "APG's now your CFG" for reForge).

2. Image showcased attached with the model itself without any shown settings (except adetailer), but you might not generate the same image in civitai as there is possibility of difference due to webui (same applies to Forge / A1111/ ComfyUI webui)

3. For lora and image enhanced with settings, may refer to image showcase at bottom of page.

4. I won't be updating often on the checkpoint, i only update if I feel i can achieve greater results with more merging. (I have zero knowledge in merging model and this is purely out of luck)

5. nudity tend to generate with tan lines, adding some prompt in negative should solve it (refer to my generation setting)

*Might upload a detail guide on generating when i have the mood to do it.

Lastly, thanks to all the civitai creator for consistently creating and sharing your works. Everyone feel free to share your own creation for others as reference of actual generation of this checkpoints.

Feel free to tip me some buzz if you are enjoying this checkpoint.
