About
PonyDiffusionV6XL Model description Pony Diffusion V6 is a versatile SDXL finetune capable of producing stunning SFW and NSFW visuals of various anthro, feral, or humanoids species and their interactions based on simple natural language prompts. CHECK "ABOUT THIS VERSION" ON THE RIGHT IF YOU ARE NOT ON "V6" FOR IMPORTANT INFORMATION. Please join our Discord Server to support development of new versions of this model and get access to free SD bot and check out more examples of this model capabilities on our prompt sharing website or follow the author on Twitter. Important information Make sure you load this model with clip skip 2 (or -2 in some software), otherwise you will be getting low quality blobs. This model supports a wide array of styles and aesthetics but provides an opinionated default prompt template that allows generation of high quality samples with no negative prompt and otherwise default settings score9, score8up, score7up, score6up, score5up, score4up, just describe what you want, tag1, tag2 (previous Pony Diffusion models used a simpler score9 quality modifier, the longer version of V6 XL version is a training issue that was too late to correct during training, you can still use score9 but it has a much weaker effect compared to full string. You can learn more about these tags here). The model is designed to not need negative prompts in most cases and does not need other quality modifiers like "hd", "masterpiece", etc... Other special data selection tags include, 'sourcepony', 'sourcefurry', 'sourcecartoon' and 'sourceanime' and ratings of 'ratingsafe', 'ratingquestionable' and 'ratingexplicit'. This model is capable of recognizing many popular and obscure characters and series. If you are looking specifically for pony style, I recommend using one of the two following templates `anthro/feral pony, rest of the prompt` or `sourcepony, rest of the prompt`. This model is trained on combination of natural language prompts and tags and is capable of understanding both, so describing intended result using normal language works in most
