SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Setting up the ANIMA 1.0 anime text-to-image model in ComfyUI requires assembling split model files, custom nodes, LoRAs, and LLLite ControlNets with exact node IDs and settings; this Skill provides verified workflows and configurations so the graph runs correctly the first time.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Complete text-to-image workflows: Ready-to-use ComfyUI JSON graphs for both the 12-step turbo LoRA mode and the 30-50 step base-quality mode, with correct loaders, samplers, and settings.
  • Anime inpainting and ControlNet: Instructions for the AnimaLLLiteApply_sdscripts node with inpainting, pose, depth, and lineart LLLite models, including mask handling via SetLatentNoiseMask.
  • Prompting and settings guidance: Danbooru tag plus natural language prompt formula, recommended negative prompts, resolutions, and per-mode steps/CFG/sampler tables.
  • Use Case: An artist wants to generate an anime character illustration on a 6GB VRAM GPU; the Skill supplies the exact node graph, model file placement, and prompt template to produce the image and optionally inpaint or upscale it.

Quick Start

Use the anima-base skill to build a ComfyUI workflow that generates an anime illustration of a character with the turbo LoRA at 896x1152.

Frequently Asked Questions about anima-base

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I run the ANIMA anime model in ComfyUI?

Load anima-base-v1.0.safetensors with UNETLoader, qwen_3_06b_base.safetensors with CLIPLoader set to type stable_diffusion, and qwen_image_vae.safetensors with VAELoader, then sample with er_sde and the simple scheduler. Add the turbo LoRA for 12-step generation at CFG 1.

What settings does the Anima turbo LoRA need?

The anima-turbo-lora-v0.1 LoRA runs at 12 steps, CFG 1.0, er_sde sampler, simple scheduler, and denoise 1.0. Without it, the base model needs 30-50 steps at CFG 4-5 for full quality.

Can ANIMA generate images on low VRAM GPUs?

Yes, ANIMA is a roughly 2B-parameter model that generates and trains on under 6GB VRAM, running anywhere SDXL or Illustrious runs. A GGUF quantized build also exists for even lower memory, though it requires a separate GGUF loader node.

Why is AnimaLLLiteApply_sdscripts missing in ComfyUI?

The node comes from the ComfyUI-Anima-LLLite custom node pack, which must be installed separately. Do not use the core AnimaLLLiteApply node, since ComfyUI now owns that ID with a different input signature.

How do I inpaint anime images with ANIMA?

Load the masked image, encode it with VAEEncode, apply SetLatentNoiseMask, and patch the model with AnimaLLLiteApply_sdscripts using anima-lllite-inpainting-v1.safetensors fed the same image and mask. The masked region regenerates from your prompt while the rest is preserved.

What prompts work best for anime text-to-image models?

ANIMA accepts Danbooru tags mixed with natural language: start with quality tags like masterpiece and score_7, add subject tags, an optional @artist name, style tags, then 2-4 descriptive sentences. Use a negative prompt with low-quality and anatomy tags since CFG above 1 is supported.
