Parameters

Standard checkpoint

• Sampler: DPM++ 2M Karras

• Steps: 12 - 40

• CFG: 5 - 9

4 step lightning model

• Sampler: DPM++ 2M SGMUniform (or Euler for a softer style)

• Steps: 4 - 6

• CFG: 1 - 2 (fastest at CFG scale of 1 but less detail)

8 step lightning model

• Sampler: DPM++ 2M SGMUniform (or Euler for a softer style)

• Steps: 6 - 10

• CFG: 1 - 3 (fastest at CFG scale of 1 but less detail)

Hires fix is recommended.

Prompting

You can add the pony score prompts but they're not essential. For a more realistic style, I recommend adding:

detailed realistic photo

If you're not getting good results, try leaving the negative prompt blank or only specify things you want to exclude from your image.

For an illustration image style add:

illustration

to the positive prompt and:

detailed realistic photo, photorealistic, irl, 3d, score_5, score_4

to the negative prompt. This works best with the non-lightning models.
