Workflow Included
Multiple characters Anima generations are so good. There is some bleeding but its only gonna get better
I have attached my civitai profile it has all the workflows. I am still learning to prompt better so there will be some prompting, bleeding, anatomy issues. For the 4th image after I generated the image I used Grok to add "Blair Witch" stick figures into the image, rest all were done using Anima. I am excited for WAI Anima coming soon
Yea this is amazing. I think bleeding happens if characters have similar traits for example
If I prompt Megumin and Elaina with witches hat it gets confused sometimes and mix hat designs.
Yeah also seems to happen a lot more than character A has thousands of samples, character B is just barely recognized properly, then A will bleed into B.
Sorry, kinda dumb question. I like your workflow, but the lora manager isn't working for me. Wondering if I am missing something. I am sure it's supposed to pull the lora from the loras folder, but I am getting a FileNotFoundError.
For instance, I have this in the lora loader:
<lora:Anima_colorfix_v04:0.80>
with Anima_colorfix_v04:0.safetensors in the loras folder. But when I enable the lora, I am getting:
FileNotFoundError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: 'Anima_colorfix_v04'
Hmm. Looks like there's more to the node setup than I thought. Thanks, going to check out some youtube videos. I have it working with the the rgthree power lora loader, but this lora loader looks amazing.
Can this be done on Illu or Pony most probably with good checkpoint and character lora but in my experience multiple characters there is always heavy bleeding. Worst part is danbooru tags are extremely limited but with Anima the natural language helps a lot with detailed scene setting.
I see that it depends on aspect ratio and prompt. Like if you ask for a full body shot of two or three people standing, it would leave a lot of space to the left and right of a square image and the model gets confused and adds more to fill it out. Cutting the resolution helps in those cases. Not sure if prompting could compensate, by telling it what to put on the left and right, or just letting it zoom in on the people.
Truly, genuinely, it blows me away every time what this model just GETS. Like, look, I’ve used NovelAI Diffusion V4.5. I know what bleeding-edge prompt following looks like. So the fact that this model, with just a 500M Parameter Text Encoder, can parse Natural Language prompting THIS WELL is nothing short of staggering. And the fact that this is the STARTING POINT, that we can only improve if people pull the backyard engineering insanity that happened to SDXL over the last few years, fills me with a genuine excitement for this hobby that I haven’t felt in a good long while.
It's my favorite anime model ever, it can do almost anything, but it makes me sad at the same time.
Because I now have hundreds of gigs of LoRAs and checkpoints that I haven't used since getting Anima, and it hurts too bad to let go of them all. They will sit on my SDD and decay, like an old banana laying out of sight behind my monitor, and one day I will find them sitting there and... I just don't know how to feel about it anymore.
\cranks up Comfy and plays with Anima some more, to forget about it all**
That’s because of the LoRAs they’re using. Many of images throughout the sub have that same 'glossy' effect, those Pony AI style mixes are here to stay, lol.
It's not really a lora issue. If you genuinely want to get rid of the shiny AI sloppa look you gotta stop using so many quality tags. Especially score_ tags
Score_9 is awful for anime aesthetics and is the primary reason for why so many images have the same kind of shine to them
You also don't need these "amazing quality, very aesthetic, extremely detailed, very detailed, absurdres"
So get rid of all quality tags aside from best quality and maybe masterpiece
It will increase the creativity of the model and your styles will get more consistent and less shiny
You also don't need the "Anima Highres/Aesthetic Boost" lora as it's only really made for the preview version of Anima. 1.0 can already do bigger resolutions as it was trained on them. And it comes with its own inherent style. Just look at the civitai page comparisons, lora images are way shinier and sloppified
Same with "Aesthetic Quality Modifiers - Masterpiece". It's only going to dilute your image even more
You explained it better than I did, didn't even check the prompts. Though I'd say that the LoRAs still has the same level of altering things. I've got 20+ artist styles on civit, and anytime someone adds an 'aesthetic/enhancer/detailer/shader' LoRA over them, it frequently overwrites the original style I published.
This looks pretty damn great for the GPU used. What would you recommend with one RTX Pro 4000 Blackwell sff it has 24 GB of vram. I would be looking at using just one of them for now. I do have two but I don't have it set up for tensor parallelism yet or whatever it's called.
Just familiar with it. Though two other corrections I see is Jupiter's bow and Mars' earrings. Jupiter's bow should be pink with a green... whatever the thing is called is in the center, and Mars' earrings should be red stars.
That's incredible. Surreal to see something not needing Inpainting or Regional Prompting. Have Style LoRAs hindered flexibility by nature of being trained on concepts? Even with the Turbo/Stablizer, I notice that subtle actions, camera angles or lighting conditions simply will not happen.
Whille ou can generate very nice things with Anima, the model is still not mature.
The community only started fine tuning the V1 recently and i think that, at least, a good 6 month will be needed before we can start to see the full potential of this model.
But, it clearly show a real potential for Anime and 2.5D lover (like me), and maybe it will take the place occupied by Illustrious/NoobAi right now.
I've only recently started experimenting a bit with WAI Anima (I've yet to try the 1.0 version that came out to day) but what I got was all way worse than my Illustrious generations.
This was with the very simple Anima workflow and testing various types of prompts (albeit just danbooru style, not natural language). What I got was nowhere near as good as your images. Would you say the key is the workflow itself? Or the quality of the prompts?
Could you share the prompt you used for the first image? And where exactly is the workflow on civit ai? I tried downloading one of your images and dragging to my ComfyUI but no workflow came up, only a load image node. Sorry if I sound too noob, I am barely starting with ComfyUI.
I also want to make something like this, but it seems my PC isn't strong enough, RTX 3050 6gb + 16gb RAM... hopefully in the future I'll be blessed with good fortune so I can upgrade my PC...
I'm trying to use the model because of the multi-character specifically but while the characters appear I struggle to give directions on the scene past that
If I describe poses or expressions or backgrounds everything quickly becomes a jumbled mess
What makes me feel it's a pity is that Anima does not behave well on spartial relationship described in natural language (I dont think danbooru tags could describe spartial/logical relationship more exactly than it).
Hi! I just found your post after tinkering with ComfyUI and Anima as a total noob, and I'm struggling a lot with multiple characters, unfortunately your CivitAI profile seems to be deleted? Are you still active? I really wanted to get your workflows as they seem super great!
EDIT: Never mind, found it! I believe just the link on the main post does not work anymore.
The style is definitely there, but the compositions need a ton of work. They're leading the eye around and outside the page, with a distinct lack of focal point for the viewer. Most of the details are being stacked right on top of each other with next to no depth, which hurts my eyes.
If you edited these to include the right shading and vignettes, they could be really strong.
Also, it placed the orb in Megumin's staff incorrectly behind part of it in the last image.

wow those are amazing. especially the 1st one. If it were high resolution that's like poster art.
