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...)>reForgehttps://github.com/Panchovix/stable-diffusion-webui-reForgeI would recommend installing this through Stability Matrix.>ComfyUIhttps://github.com/comfyanonymous/ComfyUI?tab=readme-ov-file#installingHas 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.netYou could also use a service like civitai.Models:>Pony Diffusion V6 XLhttps://civitai.com/models/257749/pony-diffusion-v6-xl?modelVersionId=290740>NoobAI-XL Great new alternative. Is closer to novelai than anything else. Really diverse yet coherent positioning / styles, knows artist tags.https://civitai.com/models/833294/noobai-xl-nai-xl>ZoinksNoob, a popular new model built off ChromaXL Mix, which itself was built off of NoobAI. Very, very close to NovelAI and arguably better at many things, it does ponies very well and has much less of a "burnt-in" default style than something like Pony Diffusion V6 does.https://huggingface.co/zatochu/ZoinksNoob>Purplesmart.ai best for starters and with a great communityhttps://purplesmart.ai>Useful artist style LoRA:https://civitai.com/models/317578/pdv6xl-artist-tags?modelVersionId=356175>LoRAs by /mlp/:https://rentry.org/ponyxl_loras>LoRAs by /h and other useful info:https://rentry.org/ponyxl_loras_n_stuff>How to make your own LoRA:https://rentry.org/59xed3https://civitai.com/articles/91/how-to-correctly-obtain-images-for-a-datasethttps://civitai.com/articles/3522/vaIstrixs-crash-course-guide-to-lora-and-lycoris-traininghttps://civitai.com/articles/4100/how-to-create-a-style-lycoris-for-ponyxl-on-low-vram-locally>Prompt tips for new users:Grab an image you like the style of from the desired model's civitai'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.For the love of CelestAI, DO NOT FEED THE TROLLS>Previous Thread>>43171882

>>43223173Fuck. It all leads back to learning fundamentals doesn't it?
>>43223203>nonnie, it's GPT-5 o'clock. time for your fundies!
>>43222663Repeating.
I hate NLP
>>43223173>you unironically have to learn art to generate good slopNo it's so much bigger than this, you have to learn a whole different language to communicate with an alien, an alien who understand english. no code, no art terms or anything like this, we have created an alien intelligence capable of doing tasks impossible to humans.You have to express your desires and translate them into english, and understand how to connect the ideas and concepts, even artists said in private this surpasses everything they know. They know they're cooked because an AI artist will understand this alien language, where an artist will echo what he learned in school or in tutorials for the past decades. See it more like Archimedes discovering quantum physics.
To all the traditional artists and drawfags ITT: stop seething, hating and start steering this train.AI isn't "stealing" it's a new medium that runs on your work, and right now the pony fandom has one of the best shots at shaping it into something we're all proud of. Purplesmart, PDV6/7, the various NoobAI/Zoinks forks are literally built on the ocean of MLP art that's been posted here, on Derpibooru, DA, etc. for 15+ years. Your lines, your styles, your coloring, your anatomy fixes they're already in the weights.You already made it possible.Instead of crying about it mocking the bad gens, trolling AI artists, bullying and hating, why not help make it better? Contribute and own it too, because we are in a community.Why collaborate? Because models are the future here. A well-made character or artist-style LoRA on PonyXL/Purplesmart lets anyone generate consistent, high-quality versions of your OC, your obscure background pony, or your personal artstyle in seconds while still letting you prompt new scenes, angles, and expressions that would take forever to draw manually.Training is accessible like I use Kohya_ss, AI Toolkit, or even one-click trainers on Civitai/Tensor.Art. You don't need a 4090 rent on RunPod. Or collab with an AI artist. Use tags like artist:yourname, style:yourstyle properly. Dataset of 20-100 high-quality, varied images (different poses, lighting, expressions, no heavy compression) beats 500 low-effort ones.The "unethical" cope is bullshit. Every artist studies and learns from others. Human artists copy the show, masters, other artists, trace (rarely with permission), "borrow" styles. AI just does it at scale with math (diffusion + transformers + LoRA adapters). The output quality depends on the data quality and prompt engineering. If you feed it your best work and help curate datasets/LoRAs, you get outputs that respect proportions, clean lines, good coloring, and MLP soul instead of melted garbage.Imagine looking at a killer art and saying "Yeah, I trained the LoRA / contributed to it for that style.This isn't AIslop, We did this together." That's the biggest contribution you can make to the fandom. This tech is here. Fandoms that embrace it (good data, good LoRAs, good prompting) will have endless high-quality art of their characters. Ones that seethe won't.Here's my idea for the artists who aren't afraid but choose to be based kings joining the AI revolution, post your style refs, share dataset tips, drop your Derpi tag, Help train a personal artist or OC LoRA and release it. Help Purplesmart and PDV7 get better pony understanding. Turn the "AI slop" complaints into "This is the best pony art we've ever had, because we guided it. It's our baby, it's got our DNA in it" We're all ponies here. Cooperate, collaborate, create. The model improves when you help improve the training. Let's make something legendary and this is the teachings of MLPFIM in action.
>>43223943Anon did you reach the text limit with this post? It kind of felt like you could go on. I didn't read any of it, but it seems like you have a lot to say.
>>43223792NLP?
>>43223893you are delusional. you've got a chip on your shoulder that'd make even the most narcissistic art hoe die of second-hand cringe.
Cleaned up an old one. Was a bit tempted to make Sunburst calm down enough to stand on four actually five legs but that would've been too much effort and also hard to bake in so this'll have to do.Forgot to fix a detail.
>>43224320Natural language prompting. This kind of shit:>A peaceful woodland scene with a towering, gnarled oak tree in the center, its sprawling limbs reaching skyward. The tree is encircled by dense ferns and wildflowers, with a shallow creek in the foreground mirroring the lush surroundings. A young woman in a flowing dress stands on a mossy boulder to the right, admiring the ancient tree. The afternoon light filters through the leaves, creating golden patterns across the forest floor.
