TAME Pony: The Authenticity MachinE

About this versionVersion 2.5 - quick start settings:DPM++ 3M SDE with SGM Uniform sampler (NOT Karras unless you use the fix mentioned below!), 25 steps, CFG 5, Hires fix 1.5x with ESRGAN 4xThe idea behind this version is to combine the Pony knowledge and vivid colours that many loved from version 1 with as many of the improvements from version 2 as possible. I had to compromise a little on the anatomy, but it is still significantly better than version 1.Improvements compared to version 2:More knowledge of Pony charactersEasier to create menMore diversity (you can prompt for an Asian woman and actually get one!)Better prompt followingBetter sampler/scheduler compatibility (still doesn't work properly with Karras but it's close. Sigma min (settings/sampler parameters) now only needs to be at 0.1 instead of 0.3).More vividCompromises:Slightly less accurate vulvas (but much better than version 1)A bit less realistic overallIt still has a very high useful CFG range, good image quality, good faces at a distance, etc.Notes:Works with most samplers if you select SGM Uniform or Simple as your scheduler. Best results with:Euler a (20+ steps)DPM++ SDE (8+ steps)DPM++ 3M SDE (20+ steps)DPM++ 2M SDE (10+ steps)DPM++ 2M (15+ steps)If you want to use Karras (this will work with some other schedulers as well), set sigma min to 0.1 (note this is different from version 2, which required 0.3). Go to settings/sampler parameters in Auto1111 or use a node in ComfyUI. However, it will negatively affect working schedulers, so don't forget to set it back to 0 again!Resolution: 832x1216, 1024x1400, 1280x1400, 768x1400, 1280x1280... these are my goto standard resolutions, but use whatever you like, it shouldn't matter much.I highly recommend upscaling (e.g. high res fix) for best quality.For general use, CFG of 5 gives clean, bright, vivid images. But usually anything from 2-7 looks nice. As with version 2, if you want to get more artistic you can crank it up pretty much as high as you want, even 20+, but you will need to increase the steps.
