Overview

This guide explains how to generate images similar to mine using my Anima models on
Forge Neo v2.29.1

⚙️ Core Settings – Anima Turbo v1.1 (Recommended)

• Model/Checkpoint: Anima-Turbo-v1.1

• Steps: 12

• Sampler: Euler
  Scheduler: Simple

• CFG Scale: 2

• Shift: 3

⚙️ Core Settings – Anima Base v1.0 / WAI-ANIMA

• Model/Checkpoint: Anima Base v1.0 or WAI-ANIMA

• Steps: 30

• Sampler: Euler a
  Scheduler: Normal

• CFG Scale: 5

• Shift: 3
  

Based on my testing so far, I recommend using Anima Turbo v1.1. It generates images significantly faster while delivering consistently reliable results.

🧩 VAE/Text Encoder & Diffusion in Low Bits

• VAE: qwen_image_vae.safetensors

• Text Encoder: qwen_3_06b_base.safetensors

• Diffusion in Low Bits: Automatic

👤 ADetailer – Face (2nd Pass)

• Detector Model: face_yolov8n.pt
  Version: aadetailer-neoforge

I use the default settings

Never apply ADetailer on the first pass.
Always run ADetailer after the base generation to avoid unintended changes to:

• Facial identity

• Eye color

• Expression

• Proportions

This is especially important in Forge neo to preserve consistency.

Be aware that adding this stage the generation time will increase a bit. Also the brightness of colors may change and a square around the subject face could appear.

🖼️ Hires.fix (Optional)

• Hires Upscale: 1.2

• Hires Steps: 20

• Hires Upscaler: R-ESRGAN 4x+ Anime6B

• Denoising Strength: 0.3 ~ 0.5

• Hires CFG Scale: 0.3 ~ 0.5

• Shift: 0.3

Be aware that adding this stage the generation time will increase a bit. Also the brightness of colors may change.
