cyberrealisticPony_v100.safetensors

Welcome to the documentation for the cyberpunk-meets-photo-realism powerhouse: cyberrealisticPony_v100.safetensors. This model checkpoint, used in ComfyUI workflows, is built to generate stunningly realistic humans (and humanoid ponies, if that’s your thing) with a distinctly cyberpunk flair. Think neon reflections, chrome prosthetics, and photorealistic skin textures—but make it fashion.

🔍 Overview​

cyberrealisticPony_v100 is a Stable Diffusion 1.5-compatible checkpoint that combines photorealistic rendering capabilities with stylized cyberpunk aesthetics. It’s particularly suited for generating:

  • Realistic portraits with sci-fi accessories
  • Futuristic fashion and character concepts
  • Glossy skin textures with strong lighting contrast
  • “Cyberized” humans (yes, even My Little Pony characters if prompted—hence the name)

Despite the pony name, this is not a furry or MLP-only model—it excels in realistic human rendering with optional surreal/augmented features.

🎯 Recommended Use Cases​

Use CaseDescription
🔧 Concept ArtIdeal for cyberpunk and sci-fi character design
👩‍🎤 Fashion DesignStunning for futuristic makeup, chrome clothing, LED accessories
🧠 AI Roleplay / NPC DesignGreat for realistic avatars with post-human aesthetics
📷 Photoreal PortraitsGenerates uncanny realism with lighting finesse
🦄 Surreal Fusion ArtCan push into stylized or fantasy realism with prompting

🧪 Compatible VAEs​

To really bring out the vibrancy and fine details, these VAEs are recommended:

  • vae-ft-mse-840000-ema-pruned.safetensors – Balanced, clean, and sharp detail enhancer
  • vae-kl-f8-anime2.safetensors – Works well if you're leaning stylized
  • Avoid using the default VAE if you're seeking optimal results—it tends to wash out contrast and skin tone realism
ParameterRecommended Value

✍️ Prompting Tips​

cyberrealisticPony_v100 is prompt-sensitive in the best way. Here’s how to make it sing:

Positive Prompt Examples:​

  • cyberpunk woman, glowing blue eyes, LED wires, glossy skin, ultra detailed, photorealistic
  • futuristic fashion model, chrome face mask, slick black hair, cinematic lighting
  • realistic male portrait, neural implants, city lights bokeh, high detail, cybernetics

Negative Prompt Suggestions:​

To avoid unintended artifacts or creepiness:

  • blurry, lowres, extra limbs, deformed, jpeg artifacts, poorly drawn face, missing fingers, bad anatomy, watermark

🛠️ Workflow Integration in ComfyUI​

Here’s a typical node structure for working with this checkpoint in ComfyUI:

  1. CheckpointLoaderSimple

    • ckpt_name: cyberrealisticPony_v100.safetensors

  2. VAE Loader

    • Recommended: vae-ft-mse-840000-ema-pruned.safetensors

  3. CLIP Text Encode (Positive/Negative)

    • Craft well-separated prompts to maximize latent clarity

  4. Sampler (DPM++ 2M Karras or Euler a)

    • Ideal for maintaining realism while handling cyberpunk chaos

  5. KSampler Advanced or CFGGuidance

    • For more refined control and experimentation with CFG values

⚠️ Known Issues​

  • Over-sharpening at high CFG: Can lead to waxy skin or unnatural textures. Dial CFG back to ~6.5 if needed.
  • Lighting blowout: Prompted lighting sources (e.g., “bright LED lights”) can overpower the subject and result in loss of facial features if not balanced.
  • Too cyber, not enough pony?: Yes, the name is confusing. This isn’t My Little Pony unless you ask nicely (in your prompt).
  • Occasional asymmetry: Like many SD-based models, mirror symmetry isn’t always guaranteed.

🧠 Pro Tips​

  • Add film still, bokeh, depth of field for cinematic compositions.
  • Use ControlNet (depth or canny) to lock in strong composition and structure.
  • Apply LoRA models (e.g., cyber fashion or texture LoRAs) to push this checkpoint even further.
  • Stack prompts with styles like hdr, ultrasharp, professional photo to level-up realism.

🏁 Final Thoughts​

cyberrealisticPony_v100.safetensors is a chameleon of realism and futurism, capable of producing hauntingly beautiful portraits that blur the line between man, machine, and neon mythos. Whether you're building a cyberpunk RPG character roster or designing your next synthwave album cover, this checkpoint gives you the horsepower—and just a dash of chaos—to make your visions come to life.

Go forth and render. Responsibly.
