nArnima Turbo - All In One ANIMA V1 checkpoint

With the release of base V1 of ANIMA, now is the time to release a full checkpoint for some fun and stuff (including a bounty that will follow once i got some sleep 🤣)

Usage:

• Resolution: Base V1 had a huge boost in quality with a final finetune at 1536x1536 resolution = Showcases picture are 960x1440 without any Hires.Fix or Upscale.

• sampler/scheduler: ER_SDE + Beta (or Smoothstep for sd.cpp)

• CFG: 1 since the Turbo LoRA is included (but 1.1 to 1.5 also works and allow back some negative prompting)

• steps: 8-12 should be enough with the Turbo LoRA but i go for 16.

• positive prompt: i like to start with masterpiece, best quality, score_9, newest, detailed

• flow shift: keep the default at 3 if your tool of choice display the value

Works with Forge Neo, should work with ComfyUI.

NB: A Q4_K quantized version for sd.cpp is available on HF (remember this version does NOT work with Forge/Comfy)

It is made using:

• ANIMA Base V1

• nArnima V2 LoRA at 1.0 (this means that yes, the TE has been slightly modified. Using base Qwen3-4B as override will change results)

• my Turbo LoRA at 0.9

• my P3-to-V1 LoRA at -0.1 to restore some details i wanted back without breaking the impressive boost in quality of the Base V1 gens
