Everly Heights Prop Generator

No scene is complete without props for your characters. Give your animated characters something to work with using the Everly Heights Prop Generator – your ultimate solution for designing detailed, high-quality props for any setting or story. Designed to complement the Everly Heights Character Maker and Set Builder models.

The Everly Heights Prop Generator is trained on over 300 licensed 2x2 grids showing common objects from various angles. The result? A LoRA model for SDXL that allows you to quickly generate detailed objects using any checkpoint you want on a clean background that are easy to cut out and rig for animation.

EVERLY HEIGHTS PROP GENERATOR FEATURES

- Versatile Prop Creation: Create props that fit perfectly within your scenes. Each generation is inspired by turnarounds of detailed 3D models, ensuring they look great from every angle.
- Prop Turnaround Capability: Generate detailed turnarounds of your props, providing a comprehensive view from all angles by using a 2x2 grid with a Depth Control net model. Leave the Control Net off to get 1-4 usable angles.
- User-Friendly Customization: With the Everly Heights Prop Generator, you have the power to specify elements such as color, material, and era, ensuring every prop not only enhances the visual appeal of your scene but also matches the narrative and atmosphere.
- Cross-Model Compatibility: Designed to complement any SDXL checkpoint, this LoRA work especially well with the Everly Heights Story Studio models. Whether you’re populating a bustling cityscape from the Set Builder or equipping characters designed in the Character Maker for battle, the Prop Generator will create awesome props to drive your story.

INSTRUCTIONS

Everly Heights Prop Generator works best at 1024px1024px. Generate your prop with a simple prompt (i.e. "A Sony Walkman, a cucumber, a Rubix Cube, etc."). By default, the model produces one view of your prop (usually):

[gallery type="square" link="file" ids="1837,1838,1839"]

In most cases, adding the text below to your prompt at the end will give you a 2x2 grid.

(four angles, 2x2 grid:1.1)

(four different angles:1.1)

So prompting "a teddy bear, (four angles, 2x2 grid:1.1)" will usually get you something like this:

By adding a ControlNet canny or depth model, you can force a prop turnaround, or at least a few angles. Here's the ControlNet template I used to create the dataset:

I use  the settings below for great results. Save the image of the clown PEZ dispensers to pull down a PNG with my settings.

NOTE: This model tends to give a 3D-rendered look with any model, but this can be overcome by dialing down the LoRA strength, as you can see while using the Juggernaut XL model in the XYZ grid below:
