======== Anima ========

Installing and running

Workflow: The model is natively supported in ComfyUI. The above image contains a workflow; you can open it in ComfyUI or drag-and-drop to get the workflow. The model files go in their respective folders inside your model directory:

• anima-preview3-base.safetensors goes in ComfyUI/models/diffusion_models

• qwen_3_06b_base.safetensors goes in ComfyUI/models/text_encoders

• qwen_image_vae.safetensors goes in ComfyUI/models/vae (this is the Qwen-Image VAE, you might already have it)

Generation settings

• The preview version should be used at about 1MP resolution. E.g. 1024x1024, 896x1152, 1152x896, etc.

• 30-50 steps, CFG 4-5.

• A variety of samplers work. Some of my favorites:

  • er_sde: neutral style, flat colors, sharp lines. I use this as a reasonable default.

  • euler_a: Softer, thinner lines. Can sometimes tend towards a 2.5D look. CFG can be pushed a bit higher than other samplers without burning the image.

  • dpmpp_2m_sde_gpu: similar in style to er_sde but can produce more variety and be more "creative". Depending on the prompt it can get too wild sometimes.

• If going for a more realistic / painterly look, the beta57 scheduler (ComfyUI RES4LYF custom node pack) can help make better textures, since it puts more emphasis on low-noise timesteps.

Prompting

The model is trained on Danbooru-style tags, natural language captions, and combinations of tags and captions.

• Use lowercase for tags, and spaces instead of underscores. Score tags are the only tags that use underscores.

• Recommended positive prefix: "masterpiece, best quality, score_7, safe, "

• Recommended negative: "worst quality, low quality, score_1, score_2, score_3, artist name"

• When using a tag that is different between Danbooru and Gelbooru, prefer the Gelbooru version.
