>Of course I’ll use my expertise in love to help you find a special somepony. You came to the right place. Of course we will need to set up ground rules on your road to true love and self-improvement. First, you will get up every morning when my aunt raises the sun and run around the entire Crystal Empire, then you will do 200 pushups. Mares love a hunk whos in-shape. Secondly, no lecherous behavior. If you make a pass at me or other mares without their permission I’ll zap you. And finally you need to fix your whole outlook on life because mares love positivity. So after your exercise routine, you’ll do charity work for ponies until the sun goes down. You can back out at any point in your training, but that would make you a coward and mares hate cowards.

Backends:

>https://github.com/LykosAI/StabilityMatrix
This is more of a one click manager that you can install / run the other backends though. Easiest by far. Recommended to download Forge through it and use its built-in Civitai browser to download models with.

For models not through the in-built downloader just download and drop them in Stability_Matrix\Data\Models\* (lora folder if a lora, TextualInversion if embedding, stablediffusion if checkpoint...)

>Forge
https://github.com/lllyasviel/stable-diffusion-webui-forge
I would recommend installing this through Stability Matrix.

>ComfyUI
https://github.com/comfyanonymous/ComfyUI?tab=readme-ov-file#installing
Has a learning curve but is extremely customizable and usually has the latest methods / papers implemented first.

>"But I don't have a decent GPU"
NovelAI also does great pony: https://novelai.net
You could also use a service like civitai.

Models:

>Pony Diffusion V6 XL
https://civitai.com/models/257749/pony-diffusion-v6-xl?modelVersionId=290640

>Autism Mix (Alternative model based upon pony diffusion, I prefer the DPO version of it. Better anatomy / more coherent.)
https://civitai.com/models/288584?modelVersionId=324619

>Seaart (Less pony knowledge but has artist tags and is very high quality.)
https://civitai.com/models/391781?modelVersionId=437061

>Prompt tips for new users:
Grab a image you like the style of from the desired model's citvia's site and drop it onto the PNG info tab in SD, you can then click send to text to image to reuse its generation info for your own images. Change the seed so you do not get just the same image. Use tags from e621 and natural language.

If you haven't wrapped- SENT your gifts it's time for that, my friends. If you're experiencing unavoidable or unexpected delays be sure to inform your Santees in thread and maybe even Pony Claus too if you can't get a response.

THE LAST RECOMMENDED DAY TO MAIL WAS DECEMBER 10TH! IF YOU HAVEN'T MAILED OUT YET, GET ON IT!!

In the meantime, while we wait to open presents, hang out, talk with your fellow anons, write a green, write a song, draw an OC, have some fun! Bake some bread!!!!Previous Thread: >>41746054

Twiggytumby!

Tamers' Content is not all great and powerful, its not the worst thing to scrape this floating rock we call home, its not a fucking psyop. its just a mix of the fandom's community influence and decent story arcs.
