This is a model merge checkpoint based on PonyXL with some of my LORAs merged into. The focus is trying to preserve PonyXL's default set of styles and characters while also adding the ability to do photorealistic images as well as hopefully better monsters,vehicles, mechs, and landscapes. This model is mostly a test/learning expierience in model merging, but hopefully it will also be able to produce decent images. The current version is still very much in beta so expect some wonky results. In order to improve realism, I also merged in SXZ Luma and Pony Realism, in order to strengthen the ability to generate base pony art styles those models are either incapable of or have difficulty generating. I recommend checking each version's description as some may need different keywords and parameters. This model obviously inherits PonyDiffusion's license, as well as those of <a target="_blank" rel="ugc" href="https://civarchive.com/models/25831?modelVersionId=725032">SXZ Luma</a> and <a target="_blank" rel="ugc" href="https://civarchive.com/models/372465?modelVersionId=914390">Pony Realism</a>, and I'm unsure whether or not I need permission to post it to civitai to begin with. If you want to merge this model with another your perfectly fine to, though I would wait for a more stable version if you intend to do so.

Merged my Beta 0.7 checkpoint with Pony Realism and some random checkpoints to improve the realistic image generation capabilities of the checkpoint while also making sure that it is still capable of generating the standard set of pony artists. It is capable of somewhat more realistic images, though sadly still suffers from overexposure and shiny skin, so I recommend you use negatives to rectify the issue. 2d generations may also require negatives as it also trends more towards realism now, but most anime style stuff seems less affected. The overall image quality of the checkpoint definitely seems to have improved.
