Anchor Workflow ZImage Turbo

Since there was interest, I'm posting this workflow.

What it does:

This workflow is intended to create multiple scenes for the same character. The workflow generates a reference scene / character. Based on this scene more generations are possible.

! Keep in mind: this workflow is experimental and its not guaranteed to work ! It works somehow, but it comes with a big speed penalty (around 4x).

How to use:

• Select your model / clip / vae.

• The workflow has three positive prompt nodes. Example is in the workflow.

1. 1st one for the main description. Place your character description in there. This prompt is in all gens present.

2. 2nd one for the reference image. Describe the scene for the reference image.

3. 3rd one for the new scene. Describe the new scene here.

• Write the prompts idealy with names: "Samuel is a 25 year old men. Samuel is wearing a blue colored jacket." or "Samuel is standing in a crowded city. Background shows shops and signs."

• For new scenes, add to the new scene prompt (3rd one) a good and detailed background description. If not, the workflow will more likely drift into the scene of the reference image.

• Seeds are fixed, so you can create multiple new scenes, without changing the reference image.

• Reference image should be idealy prompted for close-ups. More face -> More likely character consistency

• There are three active preview windows: Reference image, New scene image and a new scene image without the anchors (for comparison). You can deactivate it with ctrl + b, if you dont want gens for this lane. The same goes for new scene image. Deactivate it, if you want to roll for a reference character, without starting the new scene image.

What is happening

• This node builds side anchors and inpaints the center image in a multistage workflow

Future Updates

• There are room for improvements. Making it faster, simpler and more reliable are the main goals.

• Workflows for SD15 are also possible.
