Tips

Add 'quality' at the end of your prompts to improve image quality.

Refer to the Anim4gine Guidelines for best prompting practices: https://cagliostrolab.net/posts/optimizing-animagine-xl-40-in-depth-guideline-and-update

For faster generation with slightly lower quality, use the Lightning version settings with sampler Euler a, steps 8-10, CFG 2-2.5, upscaler 4x-NMKD_YandereNeoXL, hires steps 4-6, and denoising 0.1-0.3.

Version Highlights

I tried my hand on the Lightning version.

I merged with Lightning LoRA and finetuning it after with 860 high-quality images.

What are the differences with v3 using Lightning LoRA:

  • More improved quality (I did finetuning on the Lightning checkpoint)

  • Reduced noise and artifacts

  • Reduced reddish coloring

Recommended Lightning Settings:

  • Sampler: Euler a

  • Sampling steps: 8-10

  • CFG: 2-2.5

  • Hires step: 4-6

  • Denoising: 0.1-0.3

Feel free to experiment, but I still recommend the settings above.
