๐งชโจ Alma Experimentals PDXL ๐ด
A delightful collection of pony-based experimental models, each created during the journey of building my main releases. These side merges turned out uniquely charming and genuinely useful in their own right.
โก๏ธ Donโt skip the older versions โ they each bring a distinct personality and special strengths to the table!
๐ MBW_02 โ Semi-Realistic Illustration Style ๐๏ธ
๐จ Style: Semi-Realistic, Detailed Illustration ๐ Best for: Fantasy ๐ง, Sci-Fi ๐, Horror ๐ป
One of my very first merges โ it leans into dark, semi-realistic visuals with a strong illustrative feel. A wonderful choice for imaginative or eerie scenes.
๐งฌ Merged From: WAI-ANI-HENTAI-PONLYXL_v40 and Dark Photo Pony v3 flux
๐ At first it wasnโt quite realistic enough for my mainline goal (which later became Alma Realistic PDXL), but itโs absolutely worth keeping for its atmosphere and genre strengths.
๐๏ธ MBW_03 โ Enhanced Realism ๐
๐จ Style: Realistic ๐ Best for: Modern Scenes ๐ข, Sci-Fi ๐
An update to MBW_02 that pushes further into realism, offering more grounded visual output while keeping a touch of stylized charm.
๐งฌ Merged From: MBW_02 and ByMyPony-Photo3
๐ก๏ธ MBW_04 โ Realism with Fantastic Detail ๐
๐จ Style: Realistic ๐ Best for: Fantasy ๐ง, Sci-Fi ๐งฌ, and Flexible Use ๐ญ
Built during the development of Alma Realistic PDXL, this model captures rich fantasy and sci-fi concepts while producing clean, detailed images.
๐งฌ Merged From: BeMyPony-SemiRealAnime and One-Trick PonyXL v2.0
๐ก Think of it as a proto-version of Alma Realistic PDXL (โv0โ). Itโs a bit more predictable, though slightly gentler in anatomy compared to Alma Realistic v1 and v2.
๐ MBW_05 โ Versatile with a Dark Edge ๐
๐จ Style: Realistic ๐ Best for: Fantasy ๐น, Sci-Fi โ๏ธ, Horror ๐
A fusion of MBW_03 and MBW_04, offering broader versatility. Leans into darker tones and creative themes while maintaining realism. Shows some influence from the Dark Photo Pony line, especially in facial styles.
๐งฌ Merged From: MBW_03 and MBW_04
๐ท MBW_06 โ Photorealistic Base ๐๏ธ
๐จ Style: Photorealistic ๐ Best for: True-to-life visuals using pony-style prompts ๐ด
Serves as a precursor to Alma Photographic PDXL. Focuses on maximum realism while still being capable with pony-style prompt scoring.
๐งฌ Merged From: ponyRealism_v2.2 and ClarityXL_V2.0
โ ๏ธ Strong influence from ClarityXL may reduce performance on some niche pony concepts, but it truly excels at realistic quality.
๐จ r3.1 โ Realistic Illustration Hybrid โ๏ธ
๐จ Style: Realistic Illustration ๐ Best for: Stylized Realism, All-Purpose Use
An intermediate merge developed during the creation of Alma Realistic PDXL v3. Offers an appealing mix of realistic structure and stylized visual output.
๐งฌ Merged From: Alma Photographic PDXL v2 and BeMyPony-SemiRealAnime
๐ธ p3.4 โ Soft Semi-Realistic Blend ๐
๐จ Style: Semi-Realistic โจ Aesthetic: Soft, Dreamy, Light-Toned ๐ Best for: Gentle portraiture ๐, Romantic tones ๐ซ, Elegant fantasy ๐ธ
A delicate and aesthetically rich merge using Attention/DARE blending. p3.4 brings a soft, glowing visual quality that works beautifully for dreamy scenes or emotive character work. Compared to other models in the Alma Experimentals PDXL line, this one emphasizes mood and softness over gritty detail or harsh realism.
๐งฌ Merged From: Pony Realism v2.3 and Alma Erotic Photo XL v1LS
๐ Ideal for creators who want a romanticized, dreamy look with subtle realism and smooth lighting transitions.
๐ฌ sr1.1 โ 2.5D Semi-Realistic Anime Style โจ
๐จ Style: 2.5D / Semi-Realistic Anime ๐ Best for: Fantasy ๐ง, Science Fiction ๐, Cyberpunk ๐
A glossy, cinematic blend with vibrant colours and detailed, expressive faces. Features shiny materials, voluminous hair, and versatile, stylized backgrounds. Excellent for a wide range of imaginative settings.
๐งฌ Merged From: waiANIHENTAIPONYXL_v60 and bemypony_Semirealanime ๐ sdxl_vae is baked in.
๐ก Tip: These experimental models are perfect for exploring specific looks, themes, or styles that didnโt make it into the main releases โ yet they remain wonderful tools for creative work. Give each version a try and see what fits your workflow best!
