This is a Text-to-Image workflow compatible with Anima Base. It features LoRA and the Hires Fix Upscaler.Anima alone possesses expressive capabilities that surpass those of Illustrious. The base model alone supports a wide variety of styles and appears to have strong natural language understanding capabilities. However, entering prompts can be a bit tricky. Unlike Illustrious, it does not generate reasonably good results even with vague instructions. Unless you use tags for quality, era, character, or human artist, both the quality and style of the output will be completely random.It may take some time to get the hang of it, but once you master it, it will be a fun model to use.-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------HOW TO USE1.GENERATIONEnter a positive prompt and a negative prompt (optional), and set the image resolution and number of images (optional).By default, the system generates one image at a resolution of 1024×1524. Generation time ranged from 20 seconds to 1 minute.2.Checkpoint,LoRA Settings(Optional)You can select the checkpoint to use with the Checkpoint Loader KJ. To load LoRA, use either the CR Load LoRA node or the CR LoRA Stack. After loading LoRA, don’t forget to turn the switch on. You can also set the LoRA strength here.3.Upscaler Setting(Optional)If you set the “Upscaler” option (currently the only option available) to “Yes” using the function switch located near the node where you enter the prompt, the image will be upscaled after it is generated.You can use the slider on the left to select a resolution of up to 4K for the upscaled image.Note for advanced users: While this uses the Hires fix for SDXL, it does not seem to work as perfectly with ANIMA as it does with SDXL. In the SDXL version of the workflow, increasing the denoise setting of the upscaling sampler allowed for more detailed rendering, but this does not work very well here.4.When you want to upscale an uploaded image.If you want to use Hires Fix to upscale an image generated with the upscaler turned off, it would be a hassle to have to restart the upscaler workflow and reconfigure the prompt and LoRA, wouldn’t it?This workflow includes a feature that upscales the uploaded image itself, rather than the generated image.If you set the boolean switch in the “IMAGE UPSCALER” section to “false,” it will upscale the image loaded into the “Load Image” field in this section. If set to “true,” it will upscale the generated image.Note that even if you set it to “false” and upscaling an uploaded image, a new image will still be generated.Some Tips on Using ANIMA1.Artist TagsUnlike Illustrious, ANIMA requires you to specify a score and style.ANIMA BASE V1.0 covers a wide range of art styles, but if you don’t specify a score or style, the art style will be random.For example, if you simply enter “hatsune miku,” the result will look like this.I personally like the cute, amateur-style art, but if you have a specific style or quality in mind, or if you want to maintain a consistent style across a series of images, using scores and artist tags is must.Specifying quality and style will produce results like this.Prompt Example:(masterpiece, best quality, amazing quality, very aesthetic, extremely detailed, very detailed, absurdres, newest, highres, score_9, score_8), @Yoneyama_Mai, (@elfboiii:0.5), @ryuuzaki ichi), (@starmilk:0.3)You can mix styles by specifying multiple artist tags, and you can also adjust their weights. Try experimenting to find the balance that suits your preferences.However, the accuracy of the style reproduction depends on how well the model has been trained on that artist’s images. In other words, the base model alone may struggle to reproduce the style of artists with few images stored on Danbooru. If you have a favorite artist with a limited number of images on Danbooru, you’ll likely need to obtain or create a separate LoRA.2.CharactersJust like with an artist’s style, you can recreate a vast array of characters using only the base model. All you have to do is include the tags registered on Danbooru in your prompt.Prompt Example:ash ketchum, pokemon, 1boy, brown eyes, black hair, short hair, baseball cap, short sleeves3.Natural LanguageWith SDXL, we attempted to generate images by listing tags in the prompt. However, ANIMA supports natural language, similar to ChatGPT and ZImage. It allows for the simultaneous use of both tags and natural language, enabling it to handle more subtle nuances and complex requests than SDXL.As an example, let’s try requesting a three-view diagram of a character using natural language.Prompt Example:ash ketchum, pokemon, 1boy, brown eyes, black hair, short hair, baseball cap, short sleevesCreate three-view drawings of the same character: front, side, and back. Divide the screen into three sections. On the left, draw the character standing with their side facing the viewer, depicting the entire body from head to toe. In the center, create an image of the character standing facing forward. In the center image, the body and face should be facing forward, standing upright and looking straight ahead, with hands lightly resting at the sides of the body; draw the entire body from head to toe. On the right, draw the character standing with their back to the viewer, depicting the entire body from head to heel.(masterpiece, best quality, amazing quality, very aesthetic, extremely detailed, very detailed, absurdres, newest, highres, score_9, score_8), ANIMA can also reproduce a character's physique using natural language.Prompt Example:ash ketchum, pokemon, 1boy, brown eyes, black hair, short hair, baseball cap, short sleeves,full body,He is 10 years old. He is short, petite, and thin. He has a four-head-height build.Prompt Example:ash ketchum, pokemon, 1boy, brown eyes, black hair, short hair, baseball cap, short sleeves,full body,He is 26 years old. He is quite tall,He has a muscular build. He has a 7-head height ratio.ANIMA is a really interesting model. It can generate anime characters like SDXL and supports natural language like ChatGPT and Z-image. Be sure to give it a try and have fun generating all sorts of things with ANIMA!
