V3.1:

This version ensures that Civitai can properly parse the required metadata in saved images, which includes all model info. Thanks to @Boerboer for the suggestion and help.

V3.0:

Add a bypassable ControlNet (Anima-LLLite). Big thanks to Kohya for creating this ControlNet.

Introduction Page: https://huggingface.co/kohya-ss/Anima-LLLite

recommended CN file: anima-lllite-any-test-like-v2.safetensors https://huggingface.co/kohya-ss/Anima-LLLite/tree/main

custom node: https://github.com/kohya-ss/ComfyUI-Anima-LLLite

✅I recommend using Lineart, Depth, and Fake Scribble. You could even try Canny for control, although Kohya didn't mention it.

❌Pose control isn't recommended as it's quite difficult to make it effective.

V2.0:

Add face detailer and hand detailer.

V1.0:

A simple text-to-image workflow for Anima with Ultimate SD Upscale. (If you notice unnatural transitions when increasing the denoise value in the Upscale node, try increasing the tile_padding, such as 256.)

If you're focusing on furry character generation, you might want to consider the following detailer scheme:

and a furry Anima model (While the model has some minor flaws, like slight overfitting and a lack of data for certain furry species, it’s still fantastic for generating furry characters—especially for that muscular bara physique!):

Thanks to @UmeAiRT and @CptCharname! I’ve learned so much from studying their workflows.
